Untangling Bioethical Dilemmas: Narrative Ethics and Bodily Rights

In the recent past, the study of ethics has diversified into emerging branches with interdisciplinary areas of studies. While such studies require specialization in different disciplines, they also demand application of theoretical and empirical knowledge. In a quest to broaden the understanding of ethics to its sub- field of bioethics, this book proposal seeks to collate works that center on narrative ethics within the discourse of bioethics.

New Feminisms, Politics, and Pop Culture: An Intertextual Anthology This edited collection is interested in the intersections of feminism, American politics, and popular culture. Right now, as feminism in general is forced to shift back to a focus on reproductive rights, the fourth wave is being splintered into those prioritizing this issue and those still focused on empowerment, intersectionality, and other issues original to the fourth wave. As more and more strains of feminism emerge, how might we understand their origins and place them in conversation with each other? Is feminism finally intersectional? If not, how do we get there?

“In olden days a glimpse of stocking / Was looked on as something shocking. / Now, heaven knows, Anything goes.” This epigraph begins Chris Jenks’ 2003 work Transgression, exemplifying the sense in which acts of transgression can have real, tangible, palpable effects on society. Jenks defines “transgression” as violating, infringing upon, or going beyond the limits set by a boundary or convention (2). Transgressive fiction, then, is the genre of literature that depicts various acts of boundary-crossing in order to analyze and criticize them for the purpose of reflecting upon the ideological constructions that its characters react against or wholly reject.
