The ?experience of disgust?, which Winfried Menninghaus describes as ?an acute crisis of self-preservation?, is correlated with conceptualizations of gender in theories of the abject/abjection. In view of this general crisis of identity in the experience of disgust, the contributions to this volume discuss examples of the aestheticization of the unaesthetic in cultural representations and locate conceptual (re)codings of the body, gender, and identity with regard to the abject as an immediate and uncompromising experience on the one hand, and a social and political phenomenon on the other. Considering a variety of cultural narratives by writers as diverse as Samuel Delany, Sarah Schulman, Joyce Carol Oates, Leslie Marmon Silko, Paul Magrs, J. G. Ballard, Stevie Smith, T. C. Boyle, Joseph Conrad, Poppy Z. Brite, and Will Self, by film directors John Waters and Peter Greenaway, playwrights Girish Karnad and Mahesh Dattani, and ?body artist? Gunter von Hagens, the contributors to this volume scrutinize different implications of the ambivalent concept of the abject/abjection. 410 0$aGenus--gender in modern culture ;$v9. 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aCulture 606 $aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809 701 $aKutzbach$b Konstanze$0862062 701 $aMueller$b Monika$f1960-$0862063 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451721203321 996 $aThe abject of desire$91924314 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00542nam a2200181 i 4500 001 991004329538507536 005 20240617111751.0 008 240617s1957 it ||| f ita d 040 $aBibl.
