In The Afterlife of Property, Jeff Nunokawa investigates the conviction passed on by the Victorian novel that a woman's love is the only fortune a man can count on to last. Taking for his example four texts, Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit and Dombey and Son, and George Eliot's Daniel Deronda and Silas Marner, Nunokawa studies the diverse ways that the Victorian novel imagines women as property removed from the uncertainties of the marketplace. Along the way, he notices how the categories of economics, gender, sexuality, race, and fiction define one another in the Victorian novel. If the novel figures women as safe property, Nunokawa argues, the novel figures safe property as a woman. And if the novel identifies the angel of the house, the desexualized subject of Victorian fantasies of ideal womanhood, as safe property, it identifies various types of fiction, illicit sexualities, and foreign races with the enemy of such property: the commodity form. Nunokawa shows how these convergences of fiction, sexuality, and race with the commodity form are part of a scapegoat scenario, in which the otherwise ubiquitous instabilities of the marketplace can be contained and expunged, clearing the way for secure possession. The Afterlife of Property addresses literary and cultural theory, gender studies, and gay and lesbian studies.

La relevancia que tiene actualmente en nuestras sociedades el avance de la igualdad de género justifica la necesidad de indagar en los procesos históricos y culturales que dan cuenta de cómo ha transcurrido el avance de las mujeres en su camino hacia la emancipación. Los ensayos publicados en este volumen muestran la relevancia de la recreación literaria de los roles de género en la configuración de la sociedad española a lo largo del siglo XX. Los cambios y permanencias en la definición de la identidad femenina son objeto de reflexión por parte de reconocidos especialistas en el ámbito de los Estudios de Género y el Hispanismo internacional. Se abordan en ellos cuestiones fundamentales como el acceso de las mujeres a nuevas profesiones, las relaciones de pareja, la particular vivencia de la soledad, la maternidad y la sexualidad de las españolas contemporáneas, la recreación artística de modelos femeninos, el testimonio autobiográfico de las escritoras y su inserción en la sociedad literaria en diferentes períodos, así como los cruces e inversiones en la definición de los géneros que algunos autores y textos reflejan. Se hace patente en estos ensayos las manifestaciones múltiples de la desigual situación social de mujeres y hombres en España a lo largo del pasado siglo, mientras que se plantea paralelamente la necesidad de seguir promoviendo el cambio hacia la igualdad efectiva a través de la creación cultural.

Au cours des trois derniers siècles, bien des femmes ont participé à la circulation transnationale des idées. Nombre d'entre elles se sont attachées à déchiffrer d'autres cultures ou à représenter des identités plurielles, souvent en se situant sur des frontières linguistiques. Leurs activités littéraires ont pu produire des perspectives inédites déplaçant les rôles masculins et féminins, ou au contraire confirmer des normes de genre existantes. En présentant une série d'approches critiques permettant d'analyser ces politiques du genre, ce volume contribue à une histoire littéraire des écrivaines «entre les langues». Ce volume est issu du réseau européen New approaches to European Women's Writing (NEWW). Ce réseau est organisé autour d'une base de données consacrée à la réception internationale des écrivaines avant 1900. Il réunit des chercheurs et chercheuses préparant un renouvellement de l'historiographie littéraire à partir d'une perspective transnationale et de genre, qui met l'accent sur la circulation des écrits féminins dans l'espace européen (http://www.womenwriters.nl). During the last three centuries, many women participated in the transnational circulation of ideas. Some of them engaged in the task of deciphering other cultures or representing plural identities, often situating themselves on linguistic boundaries. Their literary activities may have produced new perspectives displacing male and female roles or on the contrary confirmed existing gender norms. By presenting a range of critical approaches that help analyse these gender politics, this volume contributes to a literary history of women writers «between languages». This volume is an output of the European scholarly network NEWW (New approaches to European Women's Writing). This network is organised around a database documenting the international reception of women writers before 1900. It brings together scholars preparing a renewal of literary historiography from a transnational and gender perspective, highlighting the circulation of women's writing across Europe.
