In \u003cem\u003eMotherhood and Representation\u003c\/em\u003e, E. Ann Kaplan considers how the mother appears in three related spheres: the historical, in which she charts changing representations of the mother from 1830 to the postmodernist present; the psychoanalytic, which discusses theories of the mother from Freud to Lacan and the French Feminists; and the mother as she is figured in cultural representations: in literary and film texts such as \u003cem\u003eEast Lynne, Marnie and the \u003cem\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as in journalism and popular manuals on motherhood. Kaplan's analysis identifies two dominant paradigms of the mother as `Angel' and `Witch', and charts the contesting and often contradictory discourses of the mother in present-day America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235135443288,"sku":"9781138169760","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138169760_97b7b472-25e9-44f5-af65-9898e43c5630.jpg?v=1777261516","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/motherhood-and-representation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
