Confessional Knowing: A critically queer reading of friendships in the letters and journals of modernist women

AHRC：Katherine Hall：AH/R01275X/1本项目将利用独特的研究知识和专门知识(Gammel)和莱尔森大学现代文学和文化研究中心的专业档案收藏，包括自传、日记和数字信件等生活写作材料，特别是Gertrude Stein和Florine Stetthemer。它的目的是发展一种同性恋/女权主义方法论，通过创造性和批判性学术(Braidotti)汇聚的陌生化镜头(Palmer)，分析MLC档案中的相关原始文本，以了解忏悔式讲述中女性之间的友谊。然后，这种方法(S)将扩展到现代主义人物的已出版忏悔材料，包括弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫、维塔·萨克维尔·韦斯特、维奥莱特·特里福西斯、爱丽丝·B·托克拉斯和科莱特。预期共同撰写的产出是：一份会议论文；一份研究论文(适合提交给一家主要的女权主义出版物)；一份方法说明；一份开放源码阅读清单；对材料的创造性回应和一次讲习班。

AHRC : Katherine Hall : AH/R01275X/1This project will make use of unique research knowledge and expertise (Gammel) and specialist archive collections within the Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre at Ryerson University, including life writing materials such as autobiographical accounts, diaries and letters of figures, in particular Gertrude Stein and Florine Stettheimer. It aims to develop a queer/feminist methodology, through a lens of defamiliarization (Palmer) at the convergence of creative and critical scholarship (Braidotti), to analyse relevant primary texts, from the MLC archive, for moments of knowing about friendships between women within the confessional telling. The method(s) will then be extended to published confessional material of modernist figures including Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville West, Violet Trefusis, Alice B. Toklas and Colette. The anticipated co-authored outputs are: a conference paper; a research paper (suitable for submission to a leading feminist publication); an account of the methodology; an open source reading list; a creative response to the material and a workshop.
