Abstract
Amazon (2013):
With contributions of scholars from Europe and North America, this book covers the
representation of women in word and image in the context of changing frames of mentalities
in two distinct periods - the Enlightenment and postmodernism. Subjects and artists/authors
covered include prostitution, English and French art (Hogarth, Reynolds, Beardsley,
Greuze), postmodern feminist theatre, recent fiction by Cormac McCarthy, Margaret
Atwood and Spanish literature. Special chapters deal with the construction of women
in recent popular animated cartoons and computer games.
