Academic writing could be understood as a genre, to the extent that academic writing involves a narrowing or restricting of what counts as writing. This panel will reflect on how feminists have experimented with different modes of writing by invited three feminist academics based at Goldsmiths to reflect on their decisions to stray from the usual genre of academic writing. What can we learn about feminism and genre from the point of view of feminist academics who have strayed? The discussion will widen to consider why “straying” might itself be a feminist method.

Straying - Feminist Genres - Sarah Kember

Joanna Zylinska

Dr Sarah Kember and Dr Joanna Zylinska (Goldsmiths, University of London) address the question of 'creativity' and its application under the umbrella of 'creative industries'; they consider the links often made with originality, genius or chance and offer an alternative reading that draws on work by Henri Bergson and Jacques Derrida (CRASSH, 17 May 2010. Part of the Intermedia Research Group.)
