[Discussion] Women Re-Creating Language and Culture

[Gonul]

Women Re-Creating Language and  Culture
NEMLA  March 2004   Pittsburgh

A commonplace of feminist criticism is that women have to mediate and
translate between the dominant culture and language and their own modes
of seeing and
communicating.  As a result women are often adept at negotiating between

competing languages, cultures and meanings.

This panel will examine instances in which women translate and re-create
the
dominant culture by translating and re-creating the language and modes
of
transmission.  Papers may examine the process whereby women re-create
language and
culture or may examine the intertextual relationship between canonical
texts
and those re-created by women.
