Sommario/riassunto

The first book to assess the impact of feminist criticism on comparative literature, Borderwork recharts the intellectual and institutional boundaries on that discipline. The seventeen essays collected here, most published for the first time, together call for the contextualization of the study of comparative literature within the areas of discourse, culture, ideology, race, and gender. Contributors: Bella Brodzki, VèVè A. Clark, Chris Cullens, Greta Gaard, Sabine Gölz, Sarah Webster Goodwin, Margaret R. Higonnet, Marianne Hirsch, Susan Sniader Lanser, Françoise Lionnet, Fedwa Malti-Douglas, Lore Metzger, Nancy K. Miller, Obioma Nnaemakea, Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, Anca Vlasopolos.

Sommario/riassunto

In Listening In, Susan Douglas esplora come l'ascolto abbia alterato le nostre esperienze quotidiane e le nostre identità generazionali, coltivando diverse modalità di ascolto in epoche diverse; come la radio ha plasmato la nostra visione della razza, dei ruoli di genere, delle barriere etniche, delle dinamiche familiari, della leadership e del divario generazionale. Con il suo spirito distintivo, Douglas ha creato una



storia culturale della radio estremamente leggibile
