This anthology explores the recurring trope of the dead or absent
mother in Western cultural productions. Across historical periods
and genres, this dialogue has been employed to articulate and
debate questions of politics and religion, social and cultural
change as well as issues of power and authority within the family.
Astroem seeks to investigate the many functions and meanings of the
dialogue by covering extensive material from the 1200s to 2014
including hagiography, romances, folktales, plays, novels,
children's literature and graphic novels, as well as film and
television. This is achieved by looking at the discourse both as
products of the time and culture that produced the various
narratives, and as part of an on-going cultural conversation that
spans the centuries, resulting in an innovative text that will be
of great interest to all scholars of gender, feminist and media
studies.
