Women and Domestic Space in Contemporary Gothic Narratives

The House as Subject

Beschreibung

Moving away from traditional studies of Gothic domesticity based on symbolism, Soon instead focuses on domestic space's material presence and the traces it leaves on the human subjects inhabiting it. Approaching novels and films such as Beloved and The Exorcist , this study intersects psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and various spatial theories.

Rezensionen

"One of the greatest achievements of Andrew Hock Soon Ng's volume is the combination of different fields of study in order to investigate the palpable connection between self and space in the texts. The ambiguity of this connection, explored in detail throughout the book, is emphasized in all of the chapters. ... It is a valuable contribution to both literary and film studies and a useful reading for scholars interested in the bordering fields of psychology, spatial and gender studies."
