Creativity and ethics of gender reading

Authors

  • Anna Santoro Associazione Araba Felice

Abstract

In her essay, half-way between narration and critical thinking, the author, moving from the knwoledge resulting from the studies on «female writing» conducted in Italy over the past years and from her own research, highlights how in the past centuries women writers started moving away from the official Literary System. Analysing the issues related to the reading-text relation, she investigates some pecularities typical of the gender reading, such as point of view, relationship, glance, positioning, plural subject, which are necessarily inherent in the creative and ethical function of the good woman reader.
