Jak pisać o pisarkach? Podsumowania

Abstract

At the moment, the majority of papers concerning women’s writing oscillates between cultural studies and literary studies, or history studies and literary studies. Such a view on women’s creative output and, in more general terms, women’s presence in culture, seems to bring the best results. Due to academic development in recent decades and the so-called “return of the subject” in philosophical, social, historical and literary studies, these disciplines gained a perspective that turns to womanly experiences, and interprets them with specific methodologies, thereby rendering them valid objects of study and representative voices of a given epoch.
In studies on early modern women’s literature, we should create a space for dialogue between philological studies, social history, the history of culture and gender studies. Only such an attitude makes it possible to avoid misunderstandings inscribed in the studies on early modern culture carried out with the application of modern and post-modern analytical categories, including the category of gender. At the same time, we should bear in mind that gender always remains a category that is useful in historico-literary analyses, if it keeps its critical relation to binary categories “woman”/“man” and “femininity”/“masculinity”, as well as to its own function consisting of forming social dynamics based on the sexual difference. Thus understood dialogical perspective allows going beyond the programmatic and methodological frames of feminist studies, in which a “woman” and a “man” are presented as permanent and closed categories that can only be used to describe various social roles, but do not lead to any critical interpretation of these roles.
