Feminist Literary and Cultural Criticism explores
inter-disciplinary connections across Cultural Anthropology,
Geography, Psychology, and feminist literary criticism to develop a
theoretical framework for spatial criticism. Using the spatial
gynocritics framework developed in the book, it analyzes selected
texts from five different genres–short-story, novel, film,
cartoons, and OTT series, created by women. The creators discussed
in the book constitute a transnational collectivity of women that
shares common concerns about gender, environment, technology, and
social hierarchies. They comprise a geographically and
linguistically diverse group from India, Uruguay, Spain, Argentina,
and the USA. The book offers immense potential for a comparative
study on numerous aspects, among which the present work
concentrates on the treatment of Space, demonstrating that spatial
logic and grammar are essential elements of the feminist praxis.
The book reveals the unexamined potential in the women creators’
praxis of destabilizing, decentring, and destroying the ascribed
centres around which social arrangements are structured. Moreover,
the book offers valuable analytic tools that add to scholarship in
literary theory, comparative cultural studies, comparative
literature, gender studies, feminist criticism, and
interdisciplinary humanities. It is an indispensable aid to
students and faculty in these areas of study, enabling them to
critique texts from a fresh perspective.
