{"product_id":"laughing-with-medusa-miriam-leonard-9780199237944","title":"Laughing with Medusa: Classical Myth and Feminist Thought","description":"\u003cem\u003eLaughing with Medusa\u003c\/em\u003e explores a series of interlinking questions, including: Does history's self-positioning as the successor of myth result in the exclusion of alternative narratives of the past? How does feminism exclude itself from certain historical discourses? Why has psychoanalysis placed myth at the centre of its explorations of the modern subject? Why are the Muses feminine? Do the categories of myth and politics intersect or are they mutually exclusive? Does feminism's recourse to myth offer a script of resistance or commit it to an ineffective utopianism? Covering a wide range of subject areas including poetry, philosophy, science, history, and psychoanalysis as well as classics, this book engages with these questions from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. It includes a specially commisssioned work of fiction,  Iphigeneia's Wedding', by the poet Elizabeth Cook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miriam Leonard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199237948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199237944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Miriam Leonard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119434592511,"sku":"9780199237944","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20a41702-d035-43ec-86b1-a7b6a3c2ed8a.jpg?v=1687409328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laughing-with-medusa-miriam-leonard-9780199237944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
