Gender, Genre & Narrative Pleasure

Om Gender, Genre & Narrative Pleasure

Responding to a fundamental challenge from feminism, this book proposes that all narrative and its reading are intrinsically inflected by sexual politics. Various approaches represented here demonstrate problems of confronting the gendered pleasures of reading. Questions about self, sexuality and identity within specific historical formations are raised. The objective is to frame, describe and unearth the notion of `men as readers¿ as a project rather than as the usual, unquestioned normative procedure.Drawing eclectically upon Marxist, psychoanalytic and discourse theory, the essays set out readings of popular texts and genres ¿ the Western, the sentimental novel, detective and crime fiction, political thrillers and horror and science fiction ¿ in the interest of provoking other readers to consider critical study of popular fiction as unthinkable without gender as a central concern.
