Beskrivning
Gendered Violence in Public Spaces: Women’s Narratives of Travel in Neoliberal India examines the vulnerability of women in public spaces in India through an analysis of narrative representations ranging from emerging digital media, commercial Hindi films, and graphic narratives to accounts of real and lived experiences of women. In doing so, this collection initiates a scholarly discussion on manifold forms of emotional, mental, epistemic, and above all sexual violence female travelers face in male-dominated public spaces. Gendered Violence in Public Spaces therefore challenges contemporary readers to re-frame India’s public spaces against misogyny and gendered violence.

Recensioner i media

What happens to women who travel? To those who transgress into male dominated spaces (e.g. the world)? Gendered Violence in Public Spaces provides insights into these questions. Comprised of 12 beautifully written chapters, the book explores how women’s travel has been represented through literature, film, and print. Anxiety, anticipation, joy, risk, comfort, violence, vulnerability, and danger – these are all things the reader will encounter in this book which makes a valuable contribution to feminist geography, literature and media studies.
