Download or read book A History of Women's Writing in Russia written by Adele Marie Barker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-11 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Women's Writing in Russia offers a comprehensive account of the lives and works of Russia's women writers. Based on original and archival research, this volume forces a re-examination of many of the traditionally held assumptions about Russian literature and women's role in the tradition. In setting about the process of reintegrating women writers into the history of Russian literature, contributors have addressed the often surprising contexts within which women's writing has been produced. Chapters reveal a flourishing literary tradition where none was thought to exist. They redraw the map defining Russia's literary periods, they look at how Russia's women writers articulated their own experience, and they reassess their relationship to the dominant male tradition. The volume is supported by extensive reference features including a bibliography and guide to writers and their works.

Book Synopsis The Erotics of Talk by : Carla Kaplan
Download or read book The Erotics of Talk written by Carla Kaplan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-12-12 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is feminism in "crisis?" With many feminists now questioning identification and focusing on differences between women, what is the fate of feminist criticism's traditional imperative to rescue women's stories and make their voices heard? In this provocative rereading of the classic texts of the feminist literary canon, Carla Kaplan takes a hard look at the legacy of feminist criticism and argues that important features of feminism's own canon have been overlooked in the rush to rescue and identify texts. African-American women's texts, she demonstrates, often dramatize their distrust of their readers, their lack of faith in "the cultural conversation," through strategies of self-silencing and "self-talk." At the same time, she argues, the homoerotics of women's writing has too often gone unremarked. Not only does longing for an ideal listener draw women's texts into a romance with the reader, but there is an erotic excess which is part of feminist critical recuperation itself. Drawing on a wide range of resources, from sociolinguistics and anthropology to literary theory, Kaplan's highly readable study proposes a new model for understanding and representing "talk." She supplies fresh readings of such feminist classics as Jane Eyre, "The Yellow Wallpaper," Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and The Color Purple, revealing how their "erotics of talk" works as a rich political allegory and form of social critique.
Book Synopsis The Writing Or the Sex?, Or, Why You Don't Have to Read Women's Writing to Know It's No Good by : Dale Spender
Download or read book The Writing Or the Sex?, Or, Why You Don't Have to Read Women's Writing to Know It's No Good written by Dale Spender and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1989 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text questions the differences between female and male literature. Taking the view that the difference lies not within the writing itself, but in the response to the writing, the author writes that men have been in charge of according value to literature, and that they have found the contributions of their own sex immeasurably superior. The author presents evidence for a form of literary criticism which takes account of the exploitative practices of men.
Download or read book Mother, She Wrote written by Yi-Lin Yu and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this enjoyable and insightful book, Yi-Lin Yu takes the heated and ongoing feminist debate over motherhood and maternal subjectivity onto a new plane - in search of a new synthesis. With its specific focus on the three-tiered matrilineal narratives, Mother, She Wrote is distinguished by its complex and innovative deployment of psychoanalytic subject-relations theories, and a meticulous and detailed discussion of various literary texts, which calls forth a powerful reformulation of these narratives. One of the main strengths of this book is this simultaneous and tactful command of theory and literary practice. Apart from advocating the burgeoning development of women's writing of matrilineal narratives, the author also sheds new light on further research in the area of feminist motherhood and mothering.
