"Feminine/Masculine and Representation" provides a much needed
introduction to some challenging issues raised in debates within
gender studies, critical theory and cultural studies. In analyzing
cultural processes using a range of different methods, the essays
in this collection focus on gender/sexuality, representation and
cultural politics across a variety of media. This collection of
essays makes an important contribution to debate on the role of
representation in the social construction of the patriarchal gender
order. It deals centrally with questions about sex and gender,
subjectivity and signification. In her editor's introduction Terry
Threadgold confronts the scepticism of those resistant to the
challenge which poststructuralist semiotics ("that language stuff")
poses to all branches of knowledge. She points out that these
discourses about language, or semiosis, seem arcane only because
they have not yet become part of everyday life, as have similar
specialist discourses like economics, government, sociology,
biology. Terry Threadgold, Associate Professor of English at the
University of Sydney, is the author of "Feminist Poetics". Anne
Cranny-Francis teaches cultural studies and critical theory at the
University of Wollongong and is the author of "Feminist Fiction".
This book is intended for students and researchers in gender
studies, cultural studies and critical theory.
