Gossip, Letters, Phones : The Scandal Of Female Networks In Film And Literature

Attribution
Ned Schantz
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2008
Description
Although female communication networks abound in many contexts and have received a good measure of critical scrutiny, no study has addressed their unique significance within narrative culture writ large. While this study traverses an uncanny realm of lost messages and false suitors, telepathy and artificial intelligence, locked rooms and time-traveling stalkers, these occult concerns only confirm the importance of female communication at its most basic level.

John Rieder
Publication Details
Book, Wesleyan University Press, 2008

This is the first full-length study of emerging Anglo-American science fiction’s relation to the history, discourses, and ideologies of colonialism and imperialism.

Women Novelists And The Ethics Of Desire, 1684-1814 : In The Voice Of Our Biblical Mothers

Attribution
Elizabeth Kraft
Publication Details
Book, Ashgate, 2008
Description
In “Women Novelists and the Ethics of Desire, 1684-1814″, Elizabeth Kraft radically alters our conventional views of early women novelists by taking seriously their representations of female desire. Like their paradigmatic foremothers, these early women novelists create female characters who demonstrate subjectivity and responsibility for the other even as they grapple with the exigencies imposed on them by circumstance and convention.Kraft’s study, informed by ethical theorists such as Emmanuel Levinas and Luce Irigaray, is remarkable in its juxtaposition of narratives from ancient and early modern times.
