Moms, Memories, Materialities : Sons Write Their Mothers’ Bodies
- 2020
-
Ingår i: a/b. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0898-9575 .- 2151-7290.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay investigates representations of working-class mothers—particularly aging, ill, and dying maternal bodies—in novels by middle-class sons (Mustafa Can, Peter Handberg, and Peter Sandström). Unlike patrifocal narratives, filial life writing about mothers is typically not written to recover a parent who has been absent, but to re(dis)cover one who has always been present. The novels offer a space for thinking through motherhood and sonhood as relational, embodied experience, and for reconsidering the interplay between gender and perspective in life writing as well as in cultural criticism.
