Description
What makes up a public, what governs dominant discourses, and in which ways can counterpublics be created through narrative? This edited collection brings together essays on affect and narrative theory with a focus on the topics of gender and sexuality. It explores the power of narrative in literature, film, art, performance, and mass media, the construction of subjectivities of gender and sexuality, and the role of affect in times of crisis. By combining theoretical, literary, and analytical texts, the contributors offer methodological impulses and reflect on the possibilities and limitations of affect theory in cultural studies.
Reviews / Votes
»Ein überzeugendes Buch, das anhand vielfältiger Beispiele auch eine breite Argumentation über die Notwendigkeit von Gegenöffentlichkeiten entfaltet. Dabei verliert es marginalisierte und benachteiligte gesellschaftliche Gruppen als soziale Gemeinschaften ebenso wenig aus dem Blick wie die Singularitäten individueller Mitglieder und ihrer spezifischen Erfahrungen von Ablehnung oder Stereotypisierung.«More details
