Affective Worldmaking

Narrative Counterpublics of Gender and Sexuality. Edited by Silvia Schultermandl, Jana Aresin, Dijana Simic, Si Sophie Pages Whybrew.

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. 236 Seiten mit 9 Abb., broschiert (Gender studies/transcript 2022) Ecken minimal bestoßen
