This book traces the representation of the other through Black feminist hauntology in Toni Morrison's \u003cem\u003eBeloved\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLove\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also explores fat freak embodiment as a feminist resistance strategy in Angela Carter's \u003cem\u003eNights at the Circus\u003c\/em\u003e and Margaret Atwood's \u003cem\u003eLady Oracle\u003c\/em\u003e. Finally, it reads Atwood’s \u003cem\u003eMaddAddam\u003c\/em\u003e trilogy and Shelley Jackson's \u003cem\u003ePatchwork Girl\u003c\/em\u003e within a framework of critical posthumanist and cyborg theory. The result is a comprehensive argument about how these texts can be read within a framework of the critical posthumanist questioning of knowledge production, as well as an epistemological exploration beyond an exclusionary humanist paradigm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597171867884,"sku":"9781786837585","price":167.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e33aa884be5400317f8bcfb1dfd7635a.jpg?v=1777954810","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/monstrous-textualities-by-anya-heise-von-der-lippe-9781786837585","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
