The story so far: toward a (frin)gender perspective within COST Action IS0901

Abstract

Due to the Training School in the Hague in May, one key issue during the debates was that the COST Action is not meant to be a project, per say, but a “collection” of research projects encouraging collaborative research between different individuals/institutions/geographical areas. Based on the evidence that in the South – Eastern European area we share both a common historical past, the present paper explores the perspective of the FrinGender collaborative research proposal to include the countries that roughly cover the notion of S-E Europe (the so-called “Balkan” area, even though, strictly speaking form a geographical point of view the term is far from accurate: Romania, for instance, is not a Balkan country, per say). More specifically, the paper will examine to which extent the scope of the COST Action framework may (or may not) be applied to HERstory (literary or otherwise) simply because of the historical breach between the East and the West.
