Experiencing Gender
This book provides comprehensive insights into the concept of gender in an international context. By focusing on diverse and varied critical approaches, it explores how gender identities are shaped by socio-cultural factors, and provides a map of how gender experiences are understood and represented in the arts and society. Through an analysis of both focal and local experiences of gender within a global context, the contributions to this volume create a continuum in which gender and experience stand at a crossroads within the arts. Moreover, this crossroads intersects with the cultural determinations that some of the contributors explore in a critical way. Consequently, this volume represen...
NEW HEROES ON SCREEN
This book analyses the representation of new models of masculinity in US recent science fiction cinema. By examining the figure of the new hero, a male protagonist with visible unconventional features, it explores new ways of gender representation on screen. Lynchs Dune (1984) and the Wachowsky brothers The Matrix (1999) share many traits concerning gender representation and offer the type of the androgynous hero who stands for innovative prototypes of masculinity. As a result of these films analysis, the book uncovers the tangible controversy in current US society about gender tolerance.
Technologies of Feminist Speculative Fiction
Technologies of Feminist Speculative Fiction: Gender, Artificial Life, and the Politics of Reproduction explores how much technology has reshaped feminist conversations in the decades since Donna Haraway’s influential “Cyborg Manifesto” was published. With sections exploring reproductive technologies, new ways of imagining femininity and motherhood via artificial means, queer readings of gender as a social technology, and posthuman visions of a world beyond gender, this book demonstrates how feminist speculative fiction offers an urgently needed response to the intersections of women’s bodies and technology. This collection brings together authors from Europe, Japan, the US and the UK to consider speculative films and texts, reproductive technologies and food futures, and opportunities to rethink family, aging, gender and sexuality, and community through feminist speculative fiction, a social technology for building better futures.

Frases dormidas en posturas imposibles
«La poeta nos invita a caminar por la cuerda floja del acontecimiento y de la voz. Y para eso sitúa al error en el borde de lo decible. Cada línea trazada, cada imagen o singularidad semántica, cada palabra precisa, cada una de sus oscilaciones y derivas convergen en el mismo punto de fuga: las bondades del error. Y la voz manifiesta su lado más humano, no solo al combinar ternura e inteligencia, sino al definirse justamente por la vacilación, entre lo que hay y lo que siempre falta.» Carlos Castro Rincón Mostrar, confundir, equivocarse y renacer. Estar en esta habitación y a la vez no estar. Gravitar a nuestro alrededor en posturas imposibles. «Algo que nos permite darnos cuenta d...
Identities on the Move
The development of new sexualities and gender identities has become a crucial issue in the field of literary and cultural studies in the first years of the twenty-first century. The roles of gender and sexual identities in the struggle for equality have become a major concern in both fields. The legacy of this process has its origins in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the twentieth century. The Victorian preoccupation about the female body and sexual promiscuity was focused on the regulation of deviant elements in society and the control of venereal disease; homosexuals, lesbians, and prostitutes’ identities were considered out of the norm and against the moral values of the...
