Subject: Romance Gender Research Summary

On May 7th, I posted a request here for information on researchers who

investigate issues of gender and/or sexuality in Romance Languages.

"I am in the beginning stages of compiling a list of researchers who

work on issues of language and gender in Romance languages such as

Spanish, French, Italian, Portguese, Catalan, Gallego, or Catalan.

Do any of you know of some researchers and/or articles or books which

target these languages?"

Here are the responses.

Thanks to all who responded. I hope I have not left out any responders.

If so, let me know.  - Richard Cameron

1) From Susan Ervin-Tripp:

"I wrote an article on gender which reported an experiment on the

semantics of gender, using Italian speakers. it was published as follows:

Ervin, S. M. (1962).  The connotations of gender. Word, 18, 249-261."

2) From Marisol del-Teso-Craviotto

"I have worked on Spanish and gender and sexuality issues. This article

may be of interest to you:

2006 "Language and sexuality in Spanish and English dating chats."

Journal of Sociolinguistics. 10(4): 460-481.

I'm also working on the revisions of an article that will appear in

Discourse Studies. If you need further information, please let me

know."

3) From Jennifer Coates

"You could contact Fabienne Baider (University of Cyprus) who works on

language and gender issues in French and Italian, and Marcella de Marco

(Roehampton University, London) who is working on a PhD on language and

gender issues in Spanish and Italian."

4) From Fabienne Baider

"I am Fabienne Baider, the person Jen Coates mentioned in her mail. I am

only working on French. Sara Gesuato from the university of Padua is

working on English and Italian.

The Three big names of linguists in France working on gender:

Anne Marie Houdebine  - university of paris

Claire Michard  - ' used to work also in Paris

Edwige Khaznadar ' universite de Toulouse

Names can be found in the two main French speaking feminist journals:

Nouvelles questions feministes (based now in switzerland)

and Association des Etudes feministes (ANEF) based in France. "

5) From Miriam Meyerhoff

"You don't say if you are interested in Br. Portuguese as well as

continental. If so, you might check out work by Ana Cristina Ostermann

2006 Comunidades de prácticas de gênero no trabalho. In: Viviane Heberle,

AnaChristina Ostermann and Débora de Carvalho Figueiredo (eds) Estudos de

Linguagem e Gênero no Brasil. Florianópolis: Editora de UFSC.

José Santaemiliano has a 2003 edited collection Género, lenguaje y

traducción. Published by  University of Valencia. Individual papers deal

with Spanish, Catalan, French. (Some in Spanish) Probably easiest to get

this by contacting José directly. And he will have an up to date

bibliography of work being done in CAtalan and Spanish.

Joan Pujolar i Cos probably also has a good bibliography of people working

on  Catalan (and Sp.?) and gender, since he does himself.

Suzanne Fleischman used to work on gender and French. A paper in the

Proceedings of the 3rd Berkeley Women and Lg Conference (those

proceedings also a source for materials on Spanish in the US).

6) From Olga Castro, , a pre-doctoral student at the Universidade de Vigo,

in Galicia.

I am currently doing research on Feminisms and Translation and, more

specifically, I am preparing my Thesis on Language, Gender and Translation

(Galician <> English).

The most recent contribution I made was in April 2-4th 2007, when I

presented a paper in Aberdeen at the International Conference of the

Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland (Galician Studies

panel) entitled:

LINGUAXE E XÉNERO: NOVAS VÍAS PARA A NORMALIZACIÓN LINGÜISTICA DO GALEGO

(Language and Gender: New Approaches Proposing Galician Linguistic

Normalization).

As far as I am concerned, there are not many works being carried out on

this topic in/about Galician (or galego). If you need any further

information just let me know. I would be glad to help you.

As for Spanish and/or Catalan, these are some of the names that come to my

mind: Carmen Alario, Mercedes Bengoechea, Eulalia Lledó, Mercè Otero, José

Santaemilia, Ana Vargas, María Ángeles Calero, Pilar Godayol.  "

7) From Véronique PERRY

"I've been working on gender in French compared to English and edited

proceedings on feminisation / gender awareness in and on French, ELT and

EFL in France, gender and language, queer issues, etc.

I'm French and I know some French people who've worked on this touchy

subject in France Here below are part of my publications.

in French, published by Benjamins) - and also edited volume with Nigel

Armstrong and Cécile Bauvois (2001) La langue française au féminin (Paris:

L'Harmattan). Most work on Language and Gender in French is being

conducted OUTSIDE France in e.g. Belgium and Canada. "

9) From Malka Muchnik

'Mercedes Bengoechea, from Alcala de Henares, has many publications on

Language and Gender in Spanish."

10) From Tommaso Milani

"You should start looking at Joan Pujolar i Cos' work on multilingualism

and gender in Catalunya. There is also a forthcoming issue of Marges

Linguistiques edited by Alexandre Duchene and Claudine Moise about

language and gender/sexuality, but I am not sure whether they will deal

specifically with Romance languages. In Italian there is the collection

edited by Gianna Marcato (1995), Donna e Linguaggio. Padova: CLEUP."
