Description: |
Welding sci-fi and fantasy with alternative history and speculative fiction and Victorian Britain with the Wild West, the steampunk sub-culture which came to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s has recently resurged as a cultural phenomenon. |
Synopsis: |
What does it mean to take part in this cultural practice and how does gender impact on it? In the first book devoted to this fascinating subject, Claire Nally addresses how the fashion, music scene, visual culture, literature and politics of this subculture intersect with theories of gender and sexuality. She applies the critical methodologies of queer theory, feminism and postcolonialism to such texts as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film and Gail Carriger's 'Parasol Protectorate' book series in order to produce a lively and critical analysis of contemporary steampunk life. |
