- Description
- Burger follows Gilles Deleuze and FeĢliz Guattari in associating "mapping" with modernity, resistance, and queerness and associating "tracing" with medieval times, hegemony, and heterosexuality. Explores how Mel can be seen to "map" Melibee's submission to Prudence as a process of feminization and a means to help its original audiences imagine ways to escape traditional categories and boundaries.
