{"product_id":"menstrual-imaginary-in-literature-9783030598136","title":"Menstrual Imaginary in Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book draws on literary, cultural, and critical examples forming a menstrual imaginary—a body of work by women writers and poets that builds up a concept of women’s creativity in an effort to overturn menstrual prejudice. The text addresses key arbiters of the menstrual imaginary in a series of letters, including Sylvia Plath the initiator of ‘the blood jet’, Hélène Cixous the pioneer of a conceptual red ink and the volcanic unconscious, and Luce Irigaray the inaugurator of women’s artistic process relative to a vital flow of desire based in sexual difference. The text also undertakes provocative against-the-grain re-readings of the Medusa, the Sphinx, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Red Shoes, as a means of affirmatively and poetically re-imagining a woman’s flow. Natalie Rose Dyer argues for re-envisioning menstrual bleeding and creativity in reaction and resistance to ongoing andproblematic societal views of menstruation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52915070730519,"sku":null,"price":13430.27,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783030598136.jpg?v=1781525913","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/menstrual-imaginary-in-literature-9783030598136","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
