Скачать или смотреть Toward a Feminist Poetics - Elaine Showalter

In this insightful lecture/video, we explore Elaine Showalter’s landmark essay “Toward a Feminist Poetics”, which laid the foundational framework for feminist literary criticism in the late twentieth century. Showalter, a pioneering scholar in feminist theory, critiques traditional male-dominated literary criticism and introduces two distinct modes of feminist inquiry: feminist critique and gynocriticism.

🔍 Feminist critique examines the ways in which literature perpetuates patriarchal ideologies, while gynocriticism seeks to establish a female literary tradition by focusing on women’s texts, experiences, and authorship.

This video delves into:
• The historical context of feminist literary criticism
• The distinction between feminist critique and gynocriticism
• Showalter’s call for a uniquely female framework for understanding literature
• The influence of cultural, biological, and linguistic models in women’s writing
• The importance of reclaiming a literary tradition of women writers

By engaging with Showalter’s theory, we gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of feminist poetics and its transformative impact on literary studies.
