In addition, it examines the representation of visible spaces in the texts in terms of their attribution with womb-like qualities. The framing of the study historically within the postwar era begins with a discussion of Eero Saarinen's Womb Chair in the context of the Cold War's need for safety in light of the threat of nuclear destruction, and ranges over films such as Marguerite Duras' and Alan Resnais' film Hiroshima mon amour and Duras' novel The Vice-Consul, exploring the ways that such cultural texts fantasize the womb as a response to trauma, defined as the compulsive need to return to the site of loss, a place envisioned as both a secure space and a prison. The womb fantasy is linked to the desire to recreate an identity that is new and original but ahistorical. 546 English. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Motherhood in art.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008006270 650 0 Motherhood in motion pictures.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002010208 650 0 Motherhood in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh97002945 650 0 Human beings in art.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85062917 650 0 Human body in motion pictures.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh98003868 650 0 Human body in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85015234 650 0 French literature|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104109 650 0 German literature|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105203 650 7 Motherhood in art.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1903971 650 7 Motherhood in motion pictures.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1026936 650 7 Motherhood in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1026934 650 7 Human beings in art.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 962862 650 7 Human body in motion pictures.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1899764 650 7 Human body in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1899762 650 7 French literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 934688 650 7 German literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 941797 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Languages & Literatures.|2hilcc 650 7 Germanic Literature.|2hilcc 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aRupprecht, Caroline.|tWomb fantasies. |dEvanston, Ill. : Northwestern University Press, 2013 |w(DLC) 2013002165 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1988859|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
