商品簡介
Fumagalli (literature, film, and theater studies; U. of Essex, England) takes the petrifying gaze of the Greek mythological figure as a metaphor for how modernity creates "others" in order to legitimize itself: transforms them into perpetual backwardness, primitivism, or non-modernity. Sampling how that works in Caribbean literature, she discusses Stadanus' America and Grace Nichols' fat black woman, scapegoating the mulattoes in Maryse Conde's Le Migration des coeurs, Lady Mary Wroth's The Countesse of Montgomerie Urania and Erma Brodber's Jane and Louisa Will Soon Come Home, and other topics.
