Through an extended analysis of Freudian metapsychology, Kenneth Paradis illustrates how paranoid ideation has been especially connected to the figure of the male body under threat of genital mutilation or emasculation. In this context, he also considers how both midcentury detective fiction (especially the work of Raymond Chandler) and contemporaneous autobiographies of male-to-female transsexuals negotiate the terms of this gendered understanding of psychopathology, thus articulating their own notions of moral value, individual autonomy, and effective agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Paradis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791469344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791469347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.17w x 0.58d","brand":"Kenneth Paradis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065128300799,"sku":"9780791469347","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b239e8c1-9469-47fb-9126-f40665111e8d.jpg?v=1768673177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-paranoia-and-modern-masculinity-kenneth-paradis-9780791469347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
