Revision as of 12:41, 1 May 2009
Bochum, May 2009
Theorizing Narrative Genres and Gender
An international two-day conference will be held on this theme at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany), on 15 and 16 May 2009.
This conference will discuss:
- the ways in which certain narrative genres (novels, short stories, fairy tales, autobiographies, personal diaries, travel writing, etc.) have been gendered,
- the impact that these texts have had on readers, both men and women,
- the question: what consequences have readers’ reactions and the gendered critical discourse had for the formation and development of narrative literary genres?
Recent research, on the feminocentrism of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French and English novel, on narratology or on the differences between female and male reading, has shown that not only is the literary discourse tied to issues of gender, but the metadiscourse is equally imbued with it; the ‘querelles des femmes’ were frequently intertwined with literary disputes.
In keeping with the NEWW’s objectives, the conference will cover a relatively long time period, extending from 1400 to 1900, and will also present contributions treating European literatures that are considered ‘marginal’.
