"Embodied VulnerAbilities in Contemporary Literature and Film includes a collection of essays exploring the ways in which recent literary and filmic representations of vulnerability depict embodied forms of vulnerability across languages, media, genres, countries, and traditions in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The volume gathers thirteen chapters penned by scholars from Japan, the USA, Canada, and Spain which look into the representation of vulnerability in human bodies and subjectivities. Notonly is the array of genres covered in this volume significant-from narrative, drama, poetry, (auto)documentary, or film-in fiction and non-fiction, but also the varied cultural and linguistic coordinates of the literary and filmic texts scrutinized-fromthe USA, Canada, Spain, France to Japan. Readers who decide to open the cover of this volume will benefit from becoming familiar with a relatively old topic-that of vulnerability-from a new perspective, so that they can consider the great potential of this critical concept anew"--

This book specialists from different literary and filmic studies explore the conflicting theoretical grounds that characterize the ontology of vulnerability as either a state of passivity, victimhood, and helplessness and/or as forms of human and non-human embodiment.

Arvustused

Embodied VulnerAbilities in Literature and Film is a mind-expanding voyage into vulnerability, the many-sided keyword of our times.

-Dr Elisabetta Marino, Associate Professor of English Literature, University of Rome, Italy

Embodied VulnerAbilities in Literature and Film is a highly significant collection of essays that reassess conceptualizations of vulnerability, linking it with material aspects of the body and addressing the challenges that representing vulnerabilities posit for artists, audiences and readers.

Dr. Barbara Schmidt-Haberkamp, Full Professor of English, University of Bonn, Germany

This exciting collection contributes vitally to the emerging field of vulnerability studies. By examining diverse representations in literature and visual culture, it argues that ambiguous experiences of embodied vulnerability can be resignified to enable agency. Culturally interventionist, these essays advocate a vulnerability ethics involving care and relationality and so challenge entrenched conditions of precarity.

Janet M. Wilson, Emerita Professor of English and Postcolonial Studies, University of Northampton UK
