Isi artikel

Recent trends in gender and writing research avoid or ignore the issue of essentialism while attempting to formulate a theory of "composing as a woman" that might rely on essentialist assumptions. Codifying the characteristics of "writing like a woman" or "writing like a man" can result in a limited-and limiting-conception of gender and its effect on writing. To illustrate this argument, this article uses as an example of l'ecriture feminine the writing of Kenneth Burke and as an example of writing like a man the prose of Julia Kristeva. It argues for conceptualizing and studying gender as a secondary factor affecting writing rather than the principal factor.
