The book proposes that Ferrante constructs a theory of feminine experience which serves as the scaffolding for her own literary practice. Drawing on the writer's entire textual corpus to date, Stiliana Milkova examines the linguistic, psychical, and corporeal-spatial realities that constitute the female subjects Ferrante has theorized. At stake in Ferrante's theory\/practice is the articulation of a feminine subjectivity that emerges from the structures of patriarchal oppression and that resists, bypasses, or subverts these very structures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMilkova's inquiry proceeds from Ferrante's theory of \u003ci\u003efrantumaglia\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003esmarginatura\u003c\/i\u003e to explore mechanisms for controlling and containing the female body and mind, forms of female authorship and creativity, and corporeal negotiations of urban topography and patriarchal space. \u003ci\u003eElena Ferrante as World Literature\u003c\/i\u003esets forth an interdisciplinary framework for understanding Ferrante's texts and offers an account of her literary and cultural significance today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stiliana Milkova Rousseva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501371916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501371912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Stiliana Milkova Rousseva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071532003583,"sku":"9781501371912","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5f9b150-2553-412e-b0c5-6a04fa02a91f.jpg?v=1685436658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elena-ferrante-as-world-literature-stiliana-milkova-rousseva-9781501371912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
