This volume explores the representation of female deviance from literary, sociolinguistic and historical-cultural perspectives in a wide range of texts across time, cultures and genres. In this way, it elucidates a contemporary cultural concern about narratives of femininity as well as diverse sites of negotiations of female resistance.
This multidisciplinary collection of articles illuminates the ways in which the concept of female deviance is represented, appropriated, re-inscribed and refigured in a wide range of texts across time, cultures and genres. Such a choice of variety shows that representations of deviance accommodate meaning-making spaces and possibilities for resistance in different socio-cultural and literary contexts. The construct of the deviant woman is analysed from literary, sociolinguistic and historical-cultural perspectives, revealing insights about cultures and societies. Furthermore, the studies recognise and explain the significance of the concept of deviance in relation to gender that bespeaks a contemporary cultural concern about narratives of femininity.
