Feder Publishes Article and Poem

Dr. Helena Feder has published an article in Green Letters titled “Desexualisation of the Species or Frankenstein and Possibility of an Island.” In the article, Feder writes, “Shelley imagined the creation of a being as an assemblage of contingent nature and culture. While the novel invites us to consider the political promise of the poor monster, who never asked for his lonely fate, it is also a commentary on the dangers of failing to understand social and ecological contingency, the entanglement of knowledge and agents in the pursuit of knowledge.”

She also has a poem, “Ecstatic Truth,” in the new issue of North American Review.
