Gender and Genre

The group is currently working on a project called "Gender and Genre" which looks into how the question of gender interacts with the one of genre. How is gender expressed through genre? In what ways do literary expressions of sexuality challenge genre paradigms? The group presented papers at the 2009 SASS-conference in Madsison, USA, April 30. On September 10th the revised papers were presented in a seminar at SKOK. The papers will finally be presented in a printed version.
