{"product_id":"motherhood-and-representation","title":"Motherhood and Representation","description":"From novels of the nineteenth century to films of the 1990s, American culture, abounds with images of white, middle-class mothers. In \u003cem\u003eMotherhood and Representation\u003c\/em\u003e, E. Ann Kaplan considers how the mother appears in three related spheres: the historical, in which she charts changing representations of the mother from 1830 to the postmodernist present; the psychoanalytic, which discusses theories of the mother from Freud to Lacan and the French Feminists; and the mother as she is figured in cultural representations: in literary and film texts such as \u003cem\u003eEast Lynne, Marnie and the \u003cem\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as in journalism and popular manuals on motherhood. Kaplan's analysis identifies two dominant paradigms of the mother as `Angel' and `Witch', and charts the contesting and often contradictory discourses of the mother in present-day America.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53518983790959,"sku":"9780415011273","price":379.46,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0415011272.jpg?v=1790116733","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/motherhood-and-representation","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
