La Epopeya Biblica "David" del Autor Sefardi Jacob Uziel (Romanistische Arbeiten Interkulturell Und Interdisziplinar, #20)
by Eemeli Eckhardt
The surprising and controversial thesis of Feminist Fabulation is unflinching: the postmodern canon has systematically excluded a wide range of important women's writing by dismissing it as genre fiction. Marleen Barr issues an urgent call for a corrective, for the recognition of a new meta- or supergenre of contemporary writing--feminist fabulation--which includes both acclaimed mainstream works and works which today's critics consistently ignore.
Carol Lazzaro-Weiss studies the fiction of twenty-five contemporary Italian women writers. Arguing for a notion of gender and genre, she runs counter to many Anglo-American and French feminist theorists who contend that traditional genres cannot readily serve as vehicles for feminist expression.

There Is No Limit To What We As Women Can Accomplish
by Patternfeed Feminist Journal
Der Begriff der Mythenkorrektur ist innerhalb der Literaturwissenschaft (noch) nicht etabliert. Ziel des Bandes ist es, ihn vorzustellen und anhand exemplarischer Interpretationen seine Erschliessungskraft zu dokumentieren. Denn in zahlreichen Werken der Literatur wird ein tradierter Zusammenhang von Mythen als bekannt vorausgesetzt, aber an einer bestimmten Stelle wird das uberlieferte Geschehen negiert. Die Frau des Kandaules sei nicht schoen gewesen, die Sirenen hatten nicht gesungen, OEdipus...

Die Autorin untersucht die Bedeutung des Ersten Spanisch-Marokkanischen Kriegs (1859-1860) im katalanischen Identitatsdiskurs des 19. Jahrhunderts. Sie analysiert, wie der Krieg die Herausbildung einer eigenstandigen, katalanischen kulturnationalen Identitat foerderte. Die Studie weist auf der Grundlage bisher weitgehend unerschlossener Texte nach, dass die katalanischen Schriftsteller jener Zeit gezielt versuchten, das Massenereignis des Kriegs zu nutzen, um katalanische nationale Mythen und Sy...
Attending to Early Modern Women
This volume considers women's roles in the conflicts and negotiations of the early modern world. Essays explore the ways that gender shapes women's agency in times of war, religious strife, and economic change. How were conflict and concord gendered in histories, literature, music, and political, legal, didactic, and religious treatises? Four interdisciplinary plenary topics ground this exploration: Negotiations, Economies, Faiths & Spiritualities, and Pedagogies. Scholars focus upon many regi...

With breathtaking control and a rhy...
