L’impero dei testi: Femminismo e teoria letteraria anglo-americana

"The Empire of Texts" highlights the crucial role played by feminist theory to recent transformations in the field of literary criticism. The widespread success of feminist analysis is analyzed in the light of the crisis of "feminism" as a critical category after the rise of gender and queer studies after the 1980's. The book argues that this crisis can actually be seen as a paradoxical consequence of the success of feminist revolution.
