Girls in Contemporary Vampire Fiction (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bienkowska Girls in Contemporary Vampire Fiction (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bienkowska
R3,519 Discovery Miles 35 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explores the narratives of girlhood in contemporary YA vampire fiction, bringing into the spotlight the genre's radical, ambivalent, and contradictory visions of young femininity. Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bienkowska considers less-explored popular vampire series for girls, particularly those by P.C. and Kristin Cast and Richelle Mead, tracing the ways in which they engage in larger cultural conversations on girlhood in the Western world. Mapping the interactions between girl and vampire corporealities, delving into the unconventional tales of vampire romance and girl sexual expressions, examining the narratives of women and violence, and venturing into the uncanny vampire classroom to unmask its critique of present-day schooling, the volume offers a new perspective on the vampire genre and an engaging insight into the complexities of growing up a girl.

Hospitality, Rape and Consent in Vampire Popular Culture - Letting the Wrong One In (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): David Baker,... Hospitality, Rape and Consent in Vampire Popular Culture - Letting the Wrong One In (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
David Baker, Stephanie Green, Agnieszka Stasiewicz-Bienkowska
R3,905 Discovery Miles 39 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This unique study explores the vampire as host and guest, captor and hostage: a perfect lover and force of seductive predation. From Dracula and Carmilla, to True Blood and The Originals, the figure of the vampire embodies taboos and desires about hospitality, rape and consent. The first section welcomes the reader into ominous spaces of home, examining the vampire through concepts of hospitality and power, the metaphor of threshold, and the blurred boundaries between visitation, invasion and confinement. Section two reflects upon the historical development of vampire narratives and the monster as oppressed, alienated Other. Section three discusses cultural anxieties of youth, (im)maturity, childhood agency, abuse and the age of consent. The final section addresses vampire as intimate partner, mapping boundaries between invitation, passion and coercion. With its fresh insight into vampire genre, this book will appeal to academics, students and general public alike.
