Cultural Migrations and Gendered Subjects: Colonial and Postcolonial Representations of the Female Body de Silvia Pilar Castro Borrego

Cultural Migrations and Gendered Subjects: Colonial and Postcolonial Representations of the Female Body

Editat de Silvia Pilar Castro Borrego, Maria Isabel Romero Ruiz, Silvia Pilar Borrego
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 2010
The present volume explores through cultural and literary representations the contributions of women to the construction of knowledge in an ever changing, global world as migrant subjects. The essays contained in this book also focus on the female body as a site of physical violence and abuse, fighting prevalent stereotypes about women's representations and identities. This collection intends to enter a forum of discussion in which the colonial past serves as a point of reference for the analysis of contemporary issues. Women's strategies for building possible identities are seen to be based on their own experiences, seeking the ways in which the public marking and marketing of the female body within the western male imaginary contributes to the making of women's social and personal identities.
