Women Writing Across Cultures
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.
Writing Women
This book examines how women journalists in Malaysia negotiated male power structures, in particular structures determined by the keystone party of the ruling coalition, the United Malays National Organisation. Through both oral histories and content analysis, it looks at how women journalists in the women’s pages of the newspapers found spaces to advocate for their readers. It is thus the first work to look at the importance of the women’s pages in the Malay-language newspapers, and how apparently monolithic institutions of the authoritarian state hid diverse contests for resources and prestige. In this contest, the concept of news values, the perception of the reader and the ways in which women constructed themselves as journalists all come into play, and are examined here. The book contributes to the field of feminist media studies by examining how gendered newsroom practices paradoxically allowed women journalists in the women’s pages more editorial freedom than those in the malestream press.
Women's Writing of the First World War
The First World War was a transformative experience for women, facilitating their entry into new spaces and alternative spheres of activity, both on the home front and on the edges of danger zones in Europe and beyond. The centenary of the conflict is an appropriate moment to reassess what we choose to remember about women’s roles and responsibilities in this period and how women recorded their experiences. It is timely to (re)consider the narratives of women’s involvement not only as nurses, VADs and mourning mothers, but as pacifist campaigners, poets, war correspondents and contributors to developing genres of war writing. This interdisciplinary volume examines women’s representatio...
Redes, alianzas y afinidades. Mujeres y escritura en América Latina. Homenaje a Montserrat Ordóñez (1941-2011)
Este libro reúne los resultados de investigación presentados en el simposio Redes, alianzas y afinidades: escritura de mujeres en América Latina, siglos xix y xx (Bogotá, Universidad de los Andes, 2 a 4 de noviembre de 2011), organizado por la Universidad de los Andes y la Universidad de Chile y coordinado por las compiladoras.1 El simposio fue organizado en homenaje a la escritora colombiana Montserrat Ordóñez (1941-2001), investigadora, escritora, poeta, traductora y editora que, como las mujeres reunidas en esta publicación, supo que el lugar de las mujeres en la escritura se elabora, sostiene y expande sobre un gran tejido de redes que hacen posible ese lugar y su sentido. Este libro quiere que la red académica que hizo posible la realización del simposio se conserve en el tiempo, así como contribuir al fortalecimiento de la red de estudios latinoamericanos, en particular los literarios y de género.
