Challenging the Boundaries seeks to transcend the limits of literary genres and national cultures, exploring both old and new frontiers in language and literature from an interdisciplinary, multifaceted, and challenging perspective. Selected from the pathbreaking Istanbul conference of the Poetics and Linguistics Association, these papers treat topics ranging from contemporary neurobiology’s insights into the sources of poetic creativity to the cultural theories of Michel Foucault and Hélène Cixous and their literary consequences; from the films of the American director David Lynch to those of the Senegalese artist Djibril Diop Mambéty; from the work of the Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk to James Joyce’s Ulysses and the stories of Virginia Woolf. This volume will be of particular interest to readers who might wish to become acquainted with the work of able young scholars from an exceptionally wide array of academic cultures and theoretical commitments. The authors whose essays appear in Challenging the Boundaries reflect in their approaches and subjects both the breadth and depth of the international academic community. PALA Papers is a series of volumes comprising essays selected and edited from presentations at the annual conferences of the Poetics and Linguistics Association , an international body of scholars whose work focuses on the interdisciplinary nexus of linguistics, discourse theory, and literary analysis, criticism, and theory. Each volume will present studies that provide models to scholars throughout the world for conducting their own research in this multidisciplinary paradigm on such topics as, among many others, close linguistic analysis of canonical literary works, corpus-based studies of literary narrative, and the linguistic basis of contemporary social and cultural theory.

Die Untersuchung unterzieht die landläufige Forschungsmeinung, Frauen im Mittelalter hätten unter starker Misogynie zu leiden gehabt und sich nur selten in der Öffentlichkeit zu Wort melden können, einer kritischen Analyse. In zehn Kapiteln kommen verschiedene Aspekte und Autor/innen zu Wort, wobei zunächst nach der Beurteilung von Gewalt gegen Frauen auch in Texten männlicher Autoren (Hartmann von Aue, Gottfried von Straßburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach) gefragt wird, die zwar Gewaltphänomene beschreiben, diese aber äußerst kritisch beurteilen. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, inwieweit Frauen in unterschiedlichen Genres eine eigenständige Identität entwickelten und sich in der Öffentlichkeit als Autoritäten positionieren konnten: Mystische Texte von Hildegard von Bingen, Marie de France und Margery Kempe, der didaktische Text Winsbeckin, die in südwestdeutschen Klöstern entstandenen Schwesternbücher, aber auch quasi-historische Dokumente wie die Aufzeichnungen der Helene Kottanner oder das Kochbuch Anna Weckerins belegen, dass erheblich mehr Frauen als bisher angenommen im Rampenlicht der Öffentlichkeit standen und sich mit ihren intellektuellen wie literarischen Leistungen selbstbewusst zu behaupten verstanden. The study takes the received view among scholars that women in the Middle Ages were faced with sustained misogyny and that their voices were seldom heard in public and subjects it to a critical analysis. The ten chapters deal with various aspects of the question, and the voices of a variety of authors - both female and male - are heard. The study opens with an enquiry into violence against women, including in texts by male writers (Hartmann von Aue, Gottfried von Straßburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach) which indeed describe instances of violence, but adopt an extremely critical stance towards them. It then proceeds to show how women were able to develop an independent identity in various genres and could present themselves as authorities in the public eye. Mystic texts by Hildegard of Bingen, Marie de France and Margery Kempe, the medieval conduct poem known as Die Winsbeckin, the Devout Books of Sisters composed in convents in South-West Germany, but also quasi-historical documents such as the memoirs of Helene Kottaner or Anna Weckerin's cookery book, demonstrate that far more women were in the public gaze than had hitherto been assumed and that they possessed the self-confidence to establish their positions with their intellectual and their literary achievements.
