本書は、前衛的なスペイン現代作家 Juan Goytisolo の作品を、畏怖・フェミニフォビア（女性的または女性化されたものへの恐怖）・過剰男性的欲望という視点から読み解く画期的研究です。代表作として 『Reivindicación del Conde don Julián』（1970）、『Makbara』（1980）、『La cuarentena』（1991）、『Cuaderno de Sarajevo』（1993） などを取り上げ、幼児性・女性性・男性性の交錯とその抑圧構造を、文化研究・ジェンダー理論の枠組みを用いて分析します。特に、少年性／子ども像と成人像がどのようにして〈恐れ〉の論理を通じて語られるかが焦点となっています。文学研究・ジェンダー視点・スペイン語圏社会論の交差点に興味をお持ちの方におすすめの一冊です。

Description:
Fear and Gendering addresses the interaction of phobia, gender, and reproduction in a representative cross-section of work by the iconoclastic contemporary Spanish novelist, Juan Goytisolo. This book asks how fear-of effeminacy and of childishness-works as an organizing principle in the evolution of Goytisolo’s prose. The nexus of fear, desire, and reproduction is examined in Reivindicación del Conde don Julián (1970), Makbara (1980), La cuarentena (1991), and Cuaderno de Sarajevo (1993). Through an unprecedented reading of Goytisolo’s juvenilia, the study adopts an interrogative approach to the novelist’s account of discrete adult and puerile identities. Informed by a lively attention to recent work in the field of cultural studies, Fear and Gendering looks afresh at some of Goytisolo’s best and lesser known works.
