DIE GENDER-KATEGORIE IN DER ANALYSE LITERARISCHER STRATEGIEN IM UMGANG MIT DER WEIBLICHKEIT: INGEBORG BACHMANN, SEWERYNA SZMAGLEWSKA, RUTH KLÜGER

This study deals with functional differences of the categories of “femininity” and “gender” and their parallel use in literary studies. Given the fact that “gender” is not an identitarian category, its use has the potential to broaden the spectrum of feminist research significantly. Selected texts will be used to demonstrate the gender perspective in the analysis of literary strategies describing femininity.
