Contributors address concepts such as vulnerability, resilience, precarity and resistance in the Anglophone world through an analysis of memoirs, films, TV series, and crime and literary fiction across India, Ireland, Canada, Australia, the US, and the UK. Chapters explore literary and media displays of precarious conditions to examine whether these are exacerbated when intersecting with gender and ethnic identities, thus resulting in structural forms of vulnerability that generate and justify oppression, as well as forms of individual or collective resistance and/or resilience. Substantial insights are drawn from Animal Studies, Critical Race Studies, Human Rights Studies, Post-Humanism and Postcolonialism. This book will be of interest to scholars in Gender Studies, Media Studies, Sociology, Culture, Literature and History. 410 0$aThinking Gender in Transnational Times,$x2947-437X 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aViolence in literature 606 $aViolence in popular culture 606 $aVulnerability (Personality trait) in literature 606 $aWomen$xViolence against 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aWomen in popular culture 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aViolence in literature. 615 0$aViolence in popular culture. 615 0$aVulnerability (Personality trait) in literature. 615 0$aWomen$xViolence against. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aWomen in popular culture. 676 $a305.3 676 $a305.3 701 $aRomero-Ruiz$b Maria Isabel$01236867 701 $aCuder-Domínguez$b Pilar$01236868 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910567788303321 996 $aCultural Representations of Gender Vulnerability and Resistance$92871613 997 $aUNINA
