THE WORLD ACCORDING TO BRIDGET JONES - KATARZYN...

The World According to Bridget Jones: Discourses of Identity in Chicklit Fictions examines the
cultural functioning of a popular contemporary strand in mainstream Anglo-American literature 
known as «chicklit». Assuming that the interpretive potential of chicklit novels is connected
with the process of identity formation  the book points out the possibility of the reader's
identification with certain fictional discourses permeating the convention. The study focuses
on complex links between Anglo-American cultural discourses and narrative constructions of
identity and explores narrative representations of contemporary family  love  and sexuality. It
also tackles the relation between chicklit and consumerism  reconstructing salient
characteristics of contemporary consumer culture and the position of the fictional female
consumer within discourses of body  beauty  and shopping.
