Within and Beyond Postmodernism: Oppositional Remediating Strategies in Jeanette Winterson’s The Power Book

The strategies she adopts to remodel the body reveal a narrative itinerary that goes from the assertion of the lesbian body of the protagonist in Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit to the virtual bodies of the interactive world in The PowerBook. Winterson works out new body paradigms to subvert the effects of social …
