This book argues for the importance of narrative theories which
consider gender and sexuality through the analysis of a diverse
range of texts and media. Classical Narratology, an allegedly
neutral descriptive system for features of narrative, has been
replaced by a diverse set of theories which are attentive to the
contexts in which narratives are composed and received. Issues of
gender and sexuality have, nevertheless, been sidelined by new
strands which consider, for example, cognitive, transmedial,
national or historical inflections instead. Through consideration
of texts including the MTV series Faking It and the papers of a
nineteenth-century activist, Queer and Feminist Theories of
Narrative heeds the original call of feminist narratologists for
the consideration of a broader and larger corpus of material.
Through analysis of issues including the popular representation of
lesbian desire, the queer narrative voice, invisibility and power
in the digital age, embodiment and cognitive narratology, reading
and racial codes, this book argues that a named strand of narrative
theory which employs feminist and queer theories as intersectional
vectors is contemporary and urgent. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal Textual
Practice.
