Women Writing Across Cultures Present past future

Description

This collection brings together an international multicultural multilingual and multidisciplinary community of scholars and practitioners in different media seeking to question and re-theorize the contested terms of our title: “woman ” “writing ” “women’s writing ” and “across. ” “Culture” is translated into an open series of interconnected terms and questions. How might one write across national cultures; or across a national and a minority culture; or across disciplines genres and media; or across synchronic discourses that are unequal in power; or across present and past discourses or present and future discourses? The collection explores and develops recent feminist queer and transgender theory and criticism and also aesthetic practice. “Writing across” assumes a number of orientations: posthumanist; transtemporal; transnationalist; writing across discourses disciplines media genres genders; writing across pronouns – he she they; writing across literature non-literary texts and life. This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities. | Women Writing Across Cultures Present past future
