Description: Women's Experimental Writing : Negative Aesthetics and Feminist Critique, Hardcover by Berry, Ellen E., ISBN 147422640X, ISBN-13 9781474226400, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This volume examines the work of six contemporary female authors who use experimental methods and negative modes of critique in their fiction and feminism: Valerie Solanas' SCUM Manifesto, Kathy Acker's Blood and Guts in High School, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee, Chantel Chawaf's Redemption, Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body, and Lynda Barry's Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel. It demonstrates how the works offer an aesthetics of negation or refusal in which style (through theme, formal strategies, silence, absence, loss, blankness, incompleteness, fragmentation, an anti-literary emphasis on crudeness, stupidity, and the like, deconstruction of conventional genre forms, and highly aware texts that emphasize feminist postmodernism, avant-garde, or outsider views) supports antisocial forms of radical refusal to enact gender, sex, race, class, and nation-based experience through the “unmaking” of dominant structures of rationality.
