Methods and Feminist Methodological Perspectives in the Romanian Novel Written by Women (1845–1914)
Abstract: Acest articol propune o cartografiere a metodelor și perspectivelor metodologice feministe aplicabile studiului romanului românesc scris de femei între 1845 și 1914, un corpus marcat de o dublă marginalitate – de gen și geopolitică – în cadrul literaturii europene. Pornind de la demersul doctoral dedicat configurării câmpului literar feminin din a doua jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea și începutul secolului XX, analiza integrează abordări complementare precum distant reading, close reading, standpoint epistemology, diffractive reading și naratologia feministă. Acestea permit examinarea modului în care autoarele se poziționează în structurile literare naționale și transnaționale, precum și investigarea strategiilor narative, a reprezentărilor de gen și a relațiilor dintre corp, materialitate și discurs. Articolul discută, de asemenea, utilitatea unor modele teoretice precum sistemele literaturii mondiale (Moretti), conceptul de cunoaștere situată (Haraway) și analiza agentivității materiale (Barad, Alaimo), pentru a evidenția atât inegalitățile structurale care au modelat circulația și receptarea romanelor scrise de femei, cât și procesele de producere a diferenței în interiorul textelor. În final, argumentul central susține necesitatea unui cadru metodologic plural, interconectat și reflexiv, care să permită interpretarea complexă a unui corpus literar insuficient explorat și să reafirme relevanța cercetării feministe în reconfigurarea istoriei literaturii române.
