| dc.description.abstract | This article studies two novels of involuntary sex change in order to critique thetrope of bodily entrapment. In Angela Carter’s The Passion of New Eve (1977)and Thierry Jonquet’s Mygale (1984), the protagonists are forced to becomefemale, but they do not remain men trapped in women’s bodies. Byhighlighting the trans, female, and narrative reembodiments in these two novels,I argue that the two texts unsettle the notion of sex/gender dimorphismembedded in the discourse of being trapped in the “wrong body.” Together, thespecific reembodiments in the two novels suggest a paradigm shift from genital,binary, and identitarian concepts of sex and gender to open-ended, contingent,but not necessarily post-binary concepts of sex and gender | en_US |
