In this meeting we will continue the presentations and discussions of the first COST year, from which we have tried to draw some conclusions ("Milestone 1"); at the same time we will prepare the November conference ("Milestone 2"). Just as the Turku meeting constituted a preliminary meeting preparing the Madrid conference, this Belgrade meeting will relate to the Chawton conference (November) as an (internal) brainstorming session to the presentation of results.

Entering our second COST year, we now start preparing the 2nd Milestone. In this second phase we will be focusing on “qualitative and comparative research”. Ideally selection of the texts to be analysed and compared will have taken place on the basis of their quantitative importance. These texts will be discussed on their degree of “femininity”, “feminism”, “normality”, “transgression” – as intended apparently by the authors and/or as perceived by contemporary readers. Comparisons (by the authors themselves or by their readers) with other female activities than writing (such as: helping others; educating; sewing or embroidery) may be focused on, in order to understand the women’s degree of (non-)conformity to the doxa, and their willingness to participate in public debate.

For discussion of these questions a certain number of narrative elements will be particularly useful (as far as novels and stories are concerned): those which present:
- Women’s role in society according to current norms, or deviant from them;
- Marriage and refusal to marry;
- “Normal” clothing and travesty;
- “Normal” sexuality and deviation from norms;
- “Normal” and “abnormal” women’s activities;
- More generally: norms concerning women’s behavior as respected by female authors and their characters (male as well as female).
You are invited to find these kinds of elements in the women’s texts you are studying, and in the comments on the women’s texts by contemporary readers. Narrative topoi such as those studied within SATOR (Société pour l’Analyse de la TOpique Romanesque, see www.satorbase.org) for pre-1800 French literature are considered as providing good possibilities for tracing and selecting relevant fragments.
