Rethinking the romance genre :global intimacies in contemporary literary and visual culture /by Emily S. Davis. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references.

Introduction: Unfulfilled Desires: Producing and Consuming the Global Romance -- 1. 1980s South African Fiction and the Romance of Resistance -- 2. Rewriting the Colonial Romance: Intimacies Between Women -- 3. The Gothic Global: Capitalist Excesses, Postcolonial Returns -- 4. The Intimacies of Globalization: Bodies and Borders On-Screen -- Conclusion: Electronic Affects.

"Rethinking the Romance Genre" examines why the romance has proven such an irresistible form for contemporary writers and filmmakers approaching global issues. Through a series of close readings informed by historical context and transnational reception, Emily S. Davis demonstrates that the generic instability of the romance makes it an especially malleable tool for representing fluid political, sexual, and racial identities and coalitions in an era of flexible global capitalism. In contemporary texts ranging from literary works to films to social media, romance facilitates a range of intimacies that offer new feminist models for understanding affinity and solidarity in the age of globalization.
