First NEWW November meeting
November 22 2007 took place the first of these three annual meetings. The theme of this day was the question of female authorship: “What is a female author? Who is a woman writer?”. Continuation of the earlier discussion furthered by Michel Foucault's “Qu’est-ce qu’un auteur?” [1] – but with particular focus on gender aspects, and taking into account research pursued since then, for example, by Nathalie Grande [2] and Alicia Montoya [3].
There were also very practical reasons: in the context of the NEWW-project decisions must be taken about entering women who wrote and published in the project’s database (www.databasewomenwriters.nl). How to categorize them: as real “writers” or in specific categories of “translators”, “commentators”? Taking into account contemporary judgments or outcomes of canon formation? What about these women’s intentions ?
