Rewriting Gender: Reading Contemporary Chinese Women by Ravni Thakur (English) P

Description: Rewriting Gender by Ravni Thakur Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A major contribution to the theorisation of womens relationship with identity politics and cultural representation. Publisher Description This intervention into feminist theory calls for a more sociologically informed use of the concept of discource. Through an exploration of changing literacy and gender relations in post-Mao China, Thakur demonstrates how the work of Foucault and Bourdieu can deepen our understanding of gender and literacy discourse. The first part of the book explores orthodox gender roles and relations in China, and looks at how such an orthodoxy is constructed. The author uses Bourdieus notion of the literary field to shed light on institutionalized literacy criticism. Going on to explore womens responses to dominant gender discourses, the author looks at how these discourses are both translated into and transformed within the literary field. Analysing a wide variety of literary texts, she shows how the literature of women in post-Mao China illustrates the role of discourse itself in the construction of gender identify paradigms. The book contributes to the theorization of womens relationship with identity politics and cultural representation, and demonstrates the necessity of reading women within the wider social context.
