Feminisme gòtic
Although Gothic literature emerged as a popular genre in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Feminisme gòtic employs the Gothic anachronistically and through a queer lens to reclaim those feminine figures marked by the supernatural, the morbid, the mysterious, the sublime, and even the abject—figures that have endured centuries of shame, defamation, and extreme violence. Here, the woman is no longer the victim of the Gothic scene, as she so often is in the tradition, but its monstrous protagonist.
