Sommario/riassunto |
|
In/Visible Subjects explores the cultural fascination with invisible characters in literature. While the concept of social invisibility is common in contemporary political discourse, there exists no comprehensive analysis of the history of the cultural metaphor of invisibility. This book addresses this gap by tracing the literary evolution of invisibility in narratives from the eighteenth century to the present. The monograph examines literal and metaphorical invisibility in terms of both content and form, offering exemplary readings of literary texts by: eighteenth-century women novelists Eliza Haywood and Susanna Rowson; Romantic poets Anna Letitia Barbauld and John Keats; nineteenth-century writers of fantasy and science fiction, including James Forbes Dalton, Fitz-James O’Brien, and H.G. Wells; early and mid-twentieth-century authors such as G.K. Chesterton, Virginia Woolf, and Ralph Ellison; and contemporary writers China Miéville and Jennifer Egan. In/Visible Subjects aims to establish a new foundation in literary studies for the emerging field of invisibility studies. It is of interest to students and scholars in literary and cultural studies working on narrative, literary character, subjectivity, and identity. Gero Guttzeit teaches English Literature at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Munich, Germany. He has held visiting professorships at Milwaukee, Freiburg, and Tübingen. His work is guided by theoretical interests in authorship, character, and rhetoric. He has published widely on nineteenth-century and contemporary literature and is the author of The Figures of Edgar Allan Poe: Authorship, Antebellum Literature, and Transatlantic Rhetoric (2017). |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Throughout history, the law has regulated sexual behaviours. Some regulations eventually become outdated and are no longer enforced. For instance, many states have adultery laws that are rarely or never enforced. Other regulations have been adopted more recently, as culture and technology have advanced. For example, laws regulating internet pornography are relatively recent. Often, these regulations are controversial and prompt analysis and research. It is the purpose of this book to present a variety of original research and legal analyses concerning such regulations. Research in psychology and social justice is particularly applicable to the study of legal regulations of sexual behaviour. As such, this edited volume will take a 'psycho-legal' approach by addressing such issues using both psychological and legal principles. This book will contain original research articles, psycho-legal analyses, and psycho-legal briefs. All will involve current issues relating to the legal regulation of sexual behaviour and its outcomes. Some themes include access to sex (e.g., prostitution) or sexual materials (e.g., obscenity), teen sexual behaviour, the legal implications of the media's portrayal of sexual behaviour, the outcomes of sexual behaviour (eg: abortion), psychological factors that predict support for laws that regulate sexual behaviour and outcomes, and ways in which the legal system can improve the lives of those it serves. It is the goal of this book to present original perspectives and prompt discussion within legal and social science communities. |
