 Pretty
Film and the Decorative Image
Rosalind Galt
Condemning the exclusion of the "pretty" from masculine film culture, Rosalind Galt reevaluates received ideas about the decorative impulse from early film criticism to classical and postclassical film theory.
Assuming a Body Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality Gayle Salamon
"Salamon's work has a singular lucidity and philosophical elegance that is rare to find in cultural theory and offers incisive philosophical reflection on what transgender implies for the materiality of the body itself." - Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley

Embodiment and Sexual Difference in Contemporary Feminist Theory
Rosi Braidotti
"This second edition of Rosi Braidotti's ground-breaking Nomadic Subjects re-establishes her as one of the most vibrant and important thinkers in post-structuralist feminism, and adds to the key essays of the first edition a selection of more recent work, concluding with an in-depth interview that clearly and frankly relates her perspective to other positions in feminism, queer theory, and identity politics." - Eugene W. Holland

Life Narrative and Contemporary Comics Hillary L. Chute "If you are not yet convinced that comics is the avant-garde genre par excellence and that it has provided feminist writers with a prime medium for telling life narratives, then read this book." - Marianne Hirsch, Columbia University
"An exciting and theoretically sophisticated gender and genre study, the kind of book that interpellates its reader, defines its territory, and stakes its claims immediately." - Bella Brodzki, Sarah Lawrence College
Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Phoebe Gloeckner, Lynda Barry, Marjane Satrapi, and Alison Bechdel are five cartoonists whose work has moved the art of autobiography and graphic storytelling in new directions, particularly through the depiction of sex, gender, and lived experience. Hillary L. Chute explores their verbal and visual techniques, which have transformed autobiographical narrative and contemporary comics.
