- Description
- This collection examines fatal femininity as a cultural preoccupation across different cultural contexts and historical epochs. The essays range from cultural figures such as Salome and Mata Hari to the femme fatale of film noir. The collection is united by two key questions: what is at stake in specific constructions of fatal women? How do these constructions relate to their historical and social contexts?

- Description
- Analysis of representations of women as linked to death, produced by women writers and artists. Religious rituals, literature, film and war journalism are analysed. A central question is whether female writers and artists have rejected the dominant discourses of sexual fascination around women and death and produced different representations. Attention is paid to the cultural change in the 18th century, whereby death became more pronouncedly gendered than in the early modern period. This was in keeping with the new emphasis on sexual dichotomy in medicine, anthropology and philosophy.

- Description
- The anthology draws inspiration from the conference in Queer Studies that was held at Canterbury Christ Church University in 2009. Paradigmatic discourses in academia and public life are discussed in six larger areas: identities, politics, public discourses, education, popular culture and literature. Among the themes are same-sex marriage, psychiatry, domestic violence, education, queer anti-capitalist activism, lesbians and gays in Botswana, and queer analysis of different forms of fiction such as literature and television series. Questions of identity, performativity and transgender are discussed.
