Transgression and Subversion – Gender in the Picaresque Novel Paperback / softback
by Maren Lickhardt, Gregor Schuhen, Hans Rudolf Velten
Part of the Gender Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Is the pÃcaro, the roguish hero of early modern Spanish adventure fiction, a 'real man'?
What position does he hold in the gender hierarchy of his fictional social context?
Why is the pÃcara so 'non-female'? What effect has her gender constitution on her fictional social context?In terms of a gendered subject, the picaresque figure has hardly been analyzed so far.
Although scholars have recognized it as a transgressive and subversive model, the 'queer' effect of the figure is yet to be examined.
With regard to the categories of class, generation, topography, and gender, the contributions assembled in this volume explore Spanish, French, English, and German novels narratologically from the perspective of culture and gender theories.
