| dcterms.abstract | Examining the complex interrelations between gender and violence in the works of Iain Banks, the study focusses on both his mainstream and science fiction novels. It critically analyses how gender roles are portrayed in Banks’ novels, and how this portrayal interacts with acts of violence. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, the study is drawing from sociology, psychology, and philosophy. Gender and Violence in Iain Banks’ Fiction includes a cross-sectional study of sexualised violence in Banks’ works, examining how sexualised violence is used to reinforce or challenge gender stereotypes. While Banks’ works frequently highlight the inequality and violence inherent in patriarchal societies, they often fall short of fully subverting traditional gender binaries. The recurring theme of gendered violence, whether in the form of physical or psychological abuse, underscores the persistent influence of patriarchal norms. The study provides a thorough analysis of the complex interplay between gender and violence in Iain Banks’ fiction. It highlights both the subversive potential and the limitations of Banks’ gender portrayals, offering a nuanced perspective on the ways in which literature can both challenge and reinforce societal norms. It underscores the importance of critically examining gender representations in literary works to understand their impact on broader cultural discourses. | eng |
