Erotic Infidelities Love and Enchantment in Angela Carter's the Bloody Chamber【電子書籍】[ Kimberly J. Lau ]
＜p＞＜strong＞Explores the peculiar enchantments at the heart of Angela Carter's ＜em＞The Bloody Chamber＜/em＞ and Carter's commitment to imagining unforeseen possibilities for heterosexual love and desire.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the thirty-five years since the publication of ＜em＞The Bloody Chamber,＜/em＞ Angela Carter's reimagined fairy tales have inspired an impressive body of criticism. Yet none has addressed the ways her fairy tales grapple with and seek to overcome the near impossibility of heterosexual love and desire under patriarchy. In ＜em＞Erotic Infidelities: Love and Enchantment in Angela Carter's＜/em＞ The Bloody Chamber, author Kimberly J. Lau argues that the strangeness of Carter's fairy-tale enchantmentsーthe moments when love or erotic desire escape the deeply familiar, habitual structures and ideologies that contain themーshow the momentary, fleeting possibilities for heterosexual love and desire.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lau begins by situating her reading of ＜em＞The Bloody Chamber＜/em＞ーas individual stories and as a collectionーwithin and against the critical literature, especially that which addresses Carter's relationship to psychoanalytic theory and issues of language and desire. In chapter 2, she illustrates Carter's construction of gender and language as labyrinthine structuresーcomplex cultural edifices constructed and augmented over time. She moves on to consider Carter's "feline stories" in chapter 3ー"The Courtship of Mr. Lyon," "The Tiger's Bride," and "Puss-in-Boots"ーas an initial move away from the labyrinthine structures and toward an alternate erotics. In chapter 4, she reads "The Erl-King" and "The Snow Child" as another pair of mirrored tales, while chapter 5 elaborates on the pedophilic and necrophiliac fantasies of a pornographic culture, introduced in the previous chapter with the Count's desire for the Snow Child. In chapter 6, Lau situates Carter's three concluding storiesーthe wolf trilogyーwithin the context of feminist psychoanalytic understandings of infidelity as that which destabilizes patriarchal hegemonies and constructs.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lau argues that Carter's "erotic infidelities" work against our culturally determined expectations and longings and usher us into welcome new enchantments. Situated at the intersection of feminist, psychoanalytic, literary, and fairy-tale studies, readers interested in a variety of scholarly disciplines as well as scholars of Carter's tales will enjoy Lau's look at enduring questions of gender, sexuality, and desire.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。3,895円 0.0(0) 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア / Rakuten
