内容説明
Why do bodies matter? "Body Matters" is a collection of essays by feminists working in literary and cultural studies which addresses this question from a range of theoretical perspectives. The collection includes essays by critics including Elisabeth Bronfen, Regenia Gagnier, Vivien Jones and Rajeswari Sunder Rajan. The essays discuss current theoretical debates with sustained analysis of literary and other kinds of textual representations of "the body". The work of Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Bronte, Dorothy Richardson, Daphne du Maurier, Alice Walker, Audre Locke, Toni Morrison and others is considered in the light of theorists such as Judith Butler, Elisabeth Grosz, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Cixous and Irigaray. The essays are organized into sections which consider the "matter" of the body from different and often conflicting perspectives and which foreground issues such as: production, consumption and reproduction; the ethics of representation; "the body" as a foundation for contemporary identity politics; literary and cultural value; spiritualism, mysticism and transcendence.

内容説明
Fred Flintstone lived in a sunny Stone Age American suburb, but his ancestors were respectable, middle-class Victorians. They were very amused to think that prehistory was an archaic version of their own world because it suggested that British ideals were eternal. In the 1850s, our prehistoric ancestors were portrayed in satirical cartoons, songs, sketches and plays as ape-like, reflecting the threat posed by evolutionary ideas. By the end of the century, recognisably human cave men inhabited a Stone Age version of late-imperial Britain, sending-up its ideals and institutions. Cave men appeared constantly in parades, civic pageants and costume parties. In the early 1900s American cartoonists and early Hollywood stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton adopted and reimagined this very British character, cementing it in global popular culture.
Cave men are an appealing way to explore and understand Victorian and Edwardian Britain. -- .
