Women Writing Across Cultures

<p>This collection brings together an international multicultural multilingual and multidisciplinary community of scholars and practitioners in different media seeking to question and re-theorize the contested terms of our title: “woman” “writing” “women’s writing” and “across.” “Culture” is translated into an open series of interconnected terms and questions. How might one write across national cultures; or across a national and a minority culture; or across disciplines genres and media; or across synchronic discourses that are unequal in power; or across present and past discourses or present and future discourses?</p><p>The collection explores and develops recent feminist queer and transgender theory and criticism and also aesthetic practice. “Writing across” assumes a number of orientations: posthumanist; transtemporal; transnationalist; writing across discourses disciplines media genres genders; writing across pronouns – he she they; writing across literature non-literary texts and life.</p><p>This book was originally published as a special issue of <i>Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities.</i></p>
