Unhappy Beginnings

Narratives of Precarity, Failure, and Resistance in North American Texts

Herausgeber: González-Díaz, Isabel; Orán-Llarena, Fabián

Beschreibung

This book offers the analysis of a selection of North American texts that dismantle and resist normative frames through the resignification of concepts such as unhappiness, failure or vulnerability. It highlights how those potentially negative elements can be refigured as ambivalent sites of resistance and social bonding.
