Beskrivning
Through readings of an array of recent texts literary and popular, fictional and autofictional, realist and experimental this book maps out a contemporary, Western, shame culture. It unpicks the complex triangulation of shame, gender and writing, and intervenes forcefully in feminist and queer debates of the last three decades. Starting from the premise that shame cannot be overcome or abandoned, and that femininity and shame are utterly and necessarily imbricated, Writing Shame examines writing that explores and inhabits this state of shame, considering the dissonant effects of such explorations on and beyond the page.

Recensioner i media

Kaye Mitchell draws on a fascinating range of contemporary and earlier literary material, as well as feminist and queer theory, psychoanalysis and philosophy; she offers the most compelling and comprehensive, erudite and original account, to date, of an affective experience that is (increasingly) key to the construction of our very being as subjects.
