Workshop Bucharest 26-28 April 2012
Women’s Writing and the East-West connections within Europe:
Visualizing the channels
COST-WWIH Workshop Bucharest, 26-28 April 2012
Call for proposals
The next COST-WWIH Workshop will be organized by Ramona Mihaila at Spiru Haret University in Bucharest.
Organizing this Workshop in Bucharest allows to focus on the ways in which women – as authors – have contributed to establishing contacts between the Western and the Eastern part of Europe: between, for instance, Norway and Finland, Ireland and Russia, Spain and Poland; but also between Budapest and Paris (cf. Emilia Kanya), Bucharest and Domburg NL (cf. Carmen Sylva), Istanbul and London (cf. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu), again: taking these names just as examples..
Which influences were at play here? Increasing travelling possibilities? Need for money? Increasing education? Feminism? Political developments? Growing curiosity? In view of the third Milestone of our COST Action we will continue reflecting on what kind of factors were at stake when women put themselves to writing, publishing and entering into contact with readers. Some of them, and how to enter them in the records, have been discussed during the second COST year. We will find more of them….
On the technological level Visualizing is at stake now: what kinds of "maps, trees, graphs" (cf. Moretti) do we want the programme to generate for us, in view of our really progressing and approaching the questions on a larger scale?
- Maps – showing influences (what kind?) going from West to East and vice versa?
- Graphs – making visible proportions and percentages?
- Trees – illustrating influences exerted by a work, an author, a group of authors? (cf. the present, still primitive, visualizing possibility).
We invite Action colleagues to propose contributions for this Workshop, which is preparatory to the November meeting (for which we will add the North – South dimension…), and will help explaining to developers what we need. Therefore, in case you are working on authors, works or receptions not yet entered into the WomenWriters database, we also ask you to include references to your research material.
Ideally in this Workshop there will be a large diversity of countries represented, and all "our" periods will be included. It is however clear that over the centuries these connections have been intensifying, so that the 19th century might be more discussed than the Middle Ages.
Please send a proposal (about 300 words) as soon as possible, preferably before 20 January, but anyway not later than 31 January 2012, to Ramona Mihaila: ramona.mihaila@gmail.com.
Answers will be sent to you (normally...) in the first week of February 2012, which will allow colleagues whose proposals will be accepted to take measures for their travelling, before 20 February 2012.
