Description

Gender in Hispanic Literature and Visual Arts provides an interdisciplinary and multicultural perspective on gender within Hispanic film and literature. The contributors analyze the relationship between the historical and social contexts of various Hispanic countries-including Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Uruguay-and the effects of their contexts on their representations of gender. This book examines gender-based violence, transvestism, lesbianism, (mis)representation, indigenism, dissent, identity, and voice as a means of better understanding the meaning and implications of gender within the diversity of people and cultures that comprise the Hispanic world.

Reviews
Gender in Hispanic Literature and Visual Arts is up-to-date and highly informative. The contributors in this collection analyze how the issue of gender is articulated in a number of genres including autobiography, fiction, documentary, feature films, and the visual arts. Their insightful chapters intersect in unexpected ways and show how some female artists have achieved self-empowerment by using techniques of their craft to break the mold. But, just as importantly, this book shows how women explore art as a thought experiment in order to demonstrate how other ways of being perform, and in this way, breathe the future into the present. -- Stephen M. Hart, University College London
Gender in Hispanic Literature and Visual Arts is an eclectic collection of essays that takes the ongoing conversations about gender in the Hispanic world into the twenty-first century. With essays on both literary and visual culture from several Latin American countries as well as Spain-all of which pay critical attention to a wider array of gender identities than the traditional dichotomy of masculine/feminine-this volume documents the shifting paradigms and pressing new questions of contemporary gender and sexuality studies. -- Mary Beth Tierney-Tello, Wheaton College
Gender in Hispanic Literature and Visual Arts examines cultural discourses on women in the Hispanic World and offers insightful and nuanced analyses of contemporary literary works, films, performances, and paintings. It is an important contribution to the study of gender identities and cultural production. -- Carmen Moreno-Nuno, University of Kentucky

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
