Incorporating Cultural Theory: Maternity at the Millennium

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on body politics, this work examines the interplay of sexuality, intimacy, and identity in cultural criticism. O'Neill critiques key theorists like Barthes and Freud, establishing a body-political framework. The concluding chapters analyze contemporary cultural phenomena, such as Jurassic Park and the London Millennium Dome, as reflections of societal anxieties surrounding reproduction and community. By centering on maternity at the millennium, the book advocates for a holistic approach in cultural studies, challenging the fragmentation often seen in postmodern thought.
