The New Queer Gothic : Reading Queer Girls and Women in Contemporary Fiction and Film, Hardback Book

The New Queer Gothic : Reading Queer Girls and Women in Contemporary Fiction and Film Hardback

Part of the Gothic Literary Studies series

Hardback

Description

Queer theory, queer literary criticism and queer cultural criticism often focus on western, white, cis men.

This book provides the first in-depth analysis of contemporary queer and Gothic texts that focus on the subjectivity, characterisation and representation of queer girls and women.

The New Queer Gothic applies interdisciplinary theory to offer a new mode and method of reading literary and film fiction.

From monstrous femininity in tales of girlhood, to paranoid negativity and transformation in young womanhood, through to postcolonial doubles, hybrid assimilation, corporeal possession, and final girls at the end of everything – this book takes as its canon works from the past fifteen years concerning queer and questioning girls and women in Gothic settings and narratives, to elucidate upon questions of queer feminist ethics, biopower and global identity politics.
