WiG Session at MLA 2011 (Jan. 6-9, 2011, Los Angeles, CA)
Imagining Herself into His/story
Scholarly attention to women's memoirs and personal narratives has increased our understanding of women's relationship to, and their role within, gendered historical discourses and the ways they have framed their contributions within and against these discourses. We are proposing an interdisciplinary panel that will analyze the roles of women within, and at the intersections of, various scholarly fields including gender studies, historiography, literature, film, and performance. Individual papers should focus upon strategies that women employ to present and construct counter-narratives, and/or discuss the different possibilities for the elaboration of these stories through fiction and non-fiction across time, genre, and various media of representation.
Please submit a 250 word abstract by March 5, 2010 to Imke Brust and Beate Brunow ([log in to unmask]). The abstract should include your name, institutional affiliation and email address as well as audio-visual requirements for the presentation.
