"The new Genders is even more useful and interesting than its older
incarnation. It offers a fuller spread of the cultural study of
gender from social practice to literary representation. Always the
leading journal in its field, Genders is now more extensive and
more concrete. This first new issue on Sexual Artifice will come to
be a source for scholars in a wide range of fields."
--"Sander L. Gilman, The Goldwin Smith Professor of Humane Studies,
Cornell University"
Sexual Artifice marks the evolution of Genders from a triannual
journal to a biannual anthology. Henceforth, each volume will have
a focus on a particular gender-related issue, offering original
essays on the specific theme.
This volume proposes that there is something more to the social
construction of gender than what social science has been able to
describe. On the contested state of international politics, public
imagery, and nationalist cinema, the artifice of sexuality wields
an enormous power to influence the interpretation of our social
selves and the world we live in. These essays collectively explore
the art of constructing gender in symbolic media images; in poetry,
photography, and montage; in dramatic identity politics; and, last
but not least, in contemporary feminism itself.
With original essays on Virginia Woolf's Orlando; Anita Hill,
Clarence Thomas and the culture of romance; Valerie Solanis (the
woman who shot Andy Warhol); male hysteria and the U.S. invasion of
Panama; and representations of women in Northern Ireland, Sexual
Artifice offers up some of the most thought-provoking and daring
young scholarship in contemporary cultural and gender studies.
