| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aims to analysis the depictions of female body in Flannery O’Connor’s works and discuss the representations of female bodies in contemporary context, especially in American comic Wonder Woman. While Kurt Vonnegut said O’Connor was the best writer in the twenty century, literary interpretation and criticism of O’Connor were limited into religious or Gothic tradition. However the discussions of historical and cultural framework of Cold War have changed the trend. In my discussion, I introduced, discussed and reinterpreted Mark McGurl's challenging interpretations and discuss an "fundamental" contradictions of her works.
