| Description: |
Illuminates the creative and intellectual work by Latin American women - editors, directors, cartoonists, academics, and comedians - and explores them in light of their treatment of women's sexuality. This title also considers feminist pornography and literary representations of masturbation, bisexuality, lesbianism, and sexual fantasies. |
| Synopsis: |
Moving beyond the 'main dishes' of traditional literary works, "Side Dishes" offers a provocative and delicious new understanding of Latin American women's authorship and activism. The book illuminates a wealth of creative and intellectual work by Latin American women - editors, directors, cartoonists, academics, performance artists, and comedians - and explores them in light of their treatment of women's sexuality. "Side Dishes" considers feminist pornography and literary representations of masturbation, bisexuality, lesbianism, and sexual fantasies; the treatment of lust in stand-up comedy and science fiction; critical issues in leading feminist journals; and portrayals of sexuality in four contemporary Latin American films. Melissa A. Fitch concludes with a look at the rise of women's and gender studies programs in Latin America. |
