Postfeminist Film & Literary Aesthetics: In Search of the Female Gaze represents a novel and comprehensive study of the aesthetic and affective textual innovations of women in the 21st century from a postfeminist perspective. This book both defines and helps shape the contours of four fast-growing critically and commercially popular modes—millennial film and fiction, metamodernism, an anti-narrative and decorative realm named here as ‘still life’, and new cli-fi—in which there is no clear male equivalent or in which women’s work can be read as a distinct aesthetic force. As the textual constellation of now is being mapped and its key texts being canonised, this book contributes to the current recentring of aesthetic taste that is occurring in literature, film, and surrounding criticism, making greater space for the appreciation of female aesthetics and for future inquiries in this field.

Motherhood, Infertility and Vulnerability in Contemporary Irish Literature brings together established and emerging scholars, alongside contributions by acclaimed Irish authors Emilie Pine and Deirdre Sullivan, to situate literary representations of motherhood within the entanglements of the nation’s transitory sociocultural terrain. Across works of fiction, life writing, memoir and more experimental prose, as well as theatre, the essays in this collection trace how contemporary Irish women writers are articulating the complexities—both individual and shared—of mothering and not mothering in the twenty-first century.With a particular focus on infertility and the vulnerabilities that inhere in mothering, the chapters attend to motherhood as experience, identity and institution; to not-motherhood in both its chosen and imposed forms; and to the vulnerabilities that accompany pregnancy, birthing, child-raising and caregiving. In doing so, the collection also considers how Irish authors are negotiating the lingering figure of Mother Ireland and giving voice to experiences long marked by silence and shame.Collectively, the volume argues that contemporary representations of motherhood in Irish literature are both rewriting cultural memory and speaking boldly to a complex present; showcasing aesthetic innovation, affective weight and transformative power.
