- Description
- In Angela Carter's work the image of the body is constructed around the tension between a poststructuralist notion of gender fluidity and a feminist reclaiming of the female body as a source of pleasure and power. This study examines the body politics in the last four novels Carter wrote between the seventies and the nineties: The infernal desire machines, The passion of New Eve, Nights at the Circus and Wise children. Drawing on feminist and poststructuralist theory, it traces a development in Carter's fiction that moves from the pessimistic negation of a self-determined female corporeality to the assertion of the female body as a powerful site of alterity.

- Description
- This study aimes to analyze the contributions that pornography, as a genre that concentrates on the relationships between bodies and contexts, and more generally utilitarian social arrangements make to our understanding of value and the ways in which social groups enable individuals to increase and decline in value. Through reading of Sade, Flaubert, Lawrence, and Bret Easton Ellis, Ferguson shows how pornography - like utilitarian social structures - diverts our attention from individual identities to actions and renders the social value of such actions through concrete literary representations.

- Description
- Holland considers the myth of model womanhood and how women, who see themselves as 'alternative', define and practise femininity. The choices they make in clothing, appearance and body modifications enable them to construct a personal look that is tied to self-identity. Holland also addresses how ageing impacts on notions of femininity. What do these women think about fashion, gender and appearance as they grow older and less visible.

- Description
- LeBesco examines sites of struggle over the cultural meaning of fatness. She explores how the bearer of a fat body is marked as a failed citizen, inasmuch as her powers as a worker, shopper, and sexually 'desirable' subject are called into question. She describes fat fashion, relations among fat, queer, and disability politics and activism, and online communities as opportunities for transforming stereotypes of fatness.
