Pop-Feminist Narratives: The Female Subject under Neoliberalism in North America, Britain, and Germany: Oxford Modern Languages and Literature Monographs

Autor Emily Spiers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 apr 2018
In Pop-Feminist Narratives, Emily Spiers explores the recent phenomenon of 'pop-feminism' and pop-feminist writing across North America, Britain, and Germany. Pop-feminism is characterised by its engagement with popular culture and consumerism; its preoccupation with sexuality and transgression in relation to female agency; and its thematisation of intergenerational feminist discord, portrayed either as a damaging discursive construct or as a verifiable phenomenon requiring remediation. Central to this volume is the question of theorising the female subject in a postfeminist neoliberal climate and the role played by genre and narrative in the articulation of contemporary pop-feminist politics. The heightened visibility of mainstream feminist discourse and feminist activism in recent years—especially in North America, Britain, and Germany—means that the time is ripe for a coherent comparative scholarly study of pop-feminism as a transnational phenomenon. This volume provides such an account of pop-feminism in a manner which takes into account the varied and complex narrative strategies employed in the telling of pop-feminist stories across multiple genres and platforms, including pop-literary fiction, the popular 'guide' to feminism, film, music, and the digital.

Recenzii

Pop-Feminist Narratives clearly should be of interest to feminist scholars but also should be important for scholars invested in the study of neoliberalism, especially because Spiers addresses women writers at times left out of such conversations. ... With careful attention a variety of twenty-first-century authors and key late twentieth-century feminist and queer experimental writers, Spiers's work is an essential contribution to new studies of feminist non-fiction and fiction.
