Produktbeschreibung

Drawing upon the work of Derrida, Foucault, and Spivak, among others, "Regendering the School Story" examines the cross-gendering of the school story and explores the intersections of gender and age. Clark argues that marginalized works such as the school story--written for boys by women or for girls by men--can give voice to the cultural contradictions that inhabit a genre as well as a culture.
