Abstract:This article traces the ideological and semiotic meanings of race in five distinct editions of Helen Bannerman's The Story of Little Black Sambo published between 1899 and 1943 to reveal the persistent antiblackness lingering under the guise of nostalgia for the classic storybook and its titular character.

Abstract:This article examines the portrayal of female characters overcoming victimization in Sarah J. Maas's bestselling high fantasy Throne of Glass (2012-18) septet. It argues that the series highlights problematic aspects of a poststructuralist-based postfeminism and ultimately reinstates the "victim-blaming" narratives it strives to subvert.
摘要:本文探讨了萨拉·J·马斯(Sarah J.Maas)畅销奇幻小说《玻璃王座》(Throne of Glass,2012-18)七重奏中女性角色克服迫害的形象。它认为,该系列突出了基于后结构主义的后女权主义的问题方面,并最终恢复了它试图颠覆的“指责受害者”叙事。

Abstract:This article offers a reevaluation of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows informed by developments in affect theory, theories of everyday life, and feminist care ethics. The essay argues that Grahame's text functions as a work of interventionist, rather than escapist, literature by offering alternative forms of attachment to domesticity, routine, and hospitality.
