Beckett's Masculinity (Hardcover): J Jeffers Beckett's Masculinity (Hardcover)
J Jeffers
R1,469 Discovery Miles 14 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

From "Murphy "to "Rockaby" to "Worstward Ho," "Beckett's Masculinity" illustrates how Samuel Beckett's work functions as a testament to the site of memory for the historically erased twentieth-century Protestant, Anglo-Irish community. Jennifer Jeffers ably shows how Beckett converted his own personal traumatic loss of a masculine, patriarchal national identity into a sustained group of obsessive images in his texts. As Beckett's work matured, he utilized the strategies of emasculation and gender distortion to dismantle Western masculinity. "Beckett's Masculinity" shows that Western hegemonic masculinity was a source of private trauma and anxiety for Beckett; yet, he eventually transformed the twentieth-century literary landscape by harnessing the power of parodied masculinity and perverted gender in his work.

The Irish Novel at the End of the Twentieth Century interprets a wide variety of the most interesting Irish novels of the last ten years of the century from a perspective that focuses on the regulated sexual and constructed gendered body. The demarcating line of identity—the perennial Irish problem—is gauged at the basic level of sexual and gender identity in contrast to or in alliance with political, social, religious, or cultural norms. All mechanisms that have gone into controlling the body—gender regulation, violence, desire, religious taboos—are reinterpreted through the body in motion.

"Britain Colonized "analyzes how and why""filmmakers use cliched Hollywood formulas and American cultural standards when adapting British literature.

Reterritorialization on the part of Hollywood manifests American cultural and capitalist hegemony over the English speaking world. "Britain Colonized "identifies the phenomena portending the future of British and Anglophone literary and cultural studies as a group of citations appropriated for American ends. "
