WORK IN PROGRESS:
Book-in-progress: “Gender and Deviance in Nineteenth-Century
Spain": Drawing on recent developments in feminist and cultural
studies, this study examines the cultural meanings and anxieties behind
representations of gender deviance in late nineteenth-century
Spain. A wide range of texts, including literary fiction,
periodical literature, ballads, and other forms of popular cultural
representation are analyzed in relation to discourses of medicine,
psychiatry, and criminal anthropology that shaped notions of
gender normativity (and deviance) during this period.
