Описание:
"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974. . .
My birth certificate lists my name as Calliope Helen Stephanides. My most recent driver's license...records my first name simply as Cal."
So begins the breathtaking story of Calliope Stephanides and three generations of the Greek-American Stephanides family who travel from a tiny village overlooking Mount Olympus in Asia Minor to Prohibition-era Detroit, witnessing its glory days as the Motor City, and the race riots of l967, before they move out to the tree-lined streets of suburban Grosse Pointe, Michigan. To understand why Calliope is not like other girls, she has to uncover a guilty family secret and the astonishing genetic history that turns Callie into Cal, one of the most audacious and wondrous narrators in contemporary fiction.
Lyrical and thrilling, Middlesex is an exhilarating reinvention of the American epic.

Описание: In his writing on the 'mirror stage', the psychoanalytic theorist Jacques Lacan describes the female body as lacking: a mere symptom of man, an object constructed by male desire. However, what happens if the woman in art follows Jean Baudrillard's advice to 'swallow the mirror', and is made real? What if the beautiful is inverted and becomes ugly; and the ugly becomes beautiful? These are the fundamental questions Basia Sliwinska poses in this important new enquiry into gender identity and the politics of vision in contemporary women's art. Through an innovative discussion of the metaphor of the mirror, or looking-glass, Sliwinska reveals how the post-1989 practices of woman artists from both sides of the former Iron Curtain - such as Marina Abramovic, Joanna Rajkowska, Lora Hristova, Jess Dobkin, Natalia LL, Sędzia Glwny and SZ-ZS - go beyond gender binaries and instead embrace otherness and difference. She makes a refreshing, radical intervention into art theory and cultural studies by offering concepts such as 'the mirror' and 'genderland' (inspired by Alice's 'Wonderland') as critical tools with which we can analyse and explain recent developments in women's art.
