European Literatures and Gender from a Transnational Perspective

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

EUTERPE is a €2.42 million network of Gender Studies scholars working with early stage Doctoral Candidates across Europe in partnership with the Coventry University and the University of York in the UK, Oviedo and Granada in Spain, Lödz in Poland, Bologna in Italy, Utrecht in The Netherlands, and coordinated by Consortium leads, Central European University, led by Professor Jasmina Lukic. We are also working in collaboration with a range of non-academic ‘industrial’ partners working within literary and cultural circles in various European contexts.

The aim of European Literatures and Gender from Transnational Perspective (EUTERPE) is to develop a new approach to rethinking European cultural production in the light of current complex social and political negotiations that are shaping European spaces and identities.

Funded by both the European Commission and the UKRI, we will provide training for 11 Doctoral Researchers through our cross-European network.

EUTERPE brings together 15 universities and associated partners across 9 European countries to offer an innovative approach to rethinking European cultural production in the light of complex social and political negotiations that are shaping European spaces and identities at present. EUTERPE does so by bringing together gender and transnational perspectives within an interdisciplinary approach to literary and cultural studies.

Major impact outputs of the project will include 11 PhD theses; a co-produced open source Dictionary of Transnational Women’s Literature in Europe with key concepts and bio-bibliographic entries on leading representatives of the field; and a Digital Catalogue and Podcast Library, which will make accessible all relevant material collected during the creation of the Dictionary. As a complex project, which brings together research, training, and open access publications of innovative and long-lasting value, EUTERPE aims to have a strong influence in the intersecting fields of literary and gender studies, as well as in the connecting fields of transnational studies, translation studies, migration studies and European studies.

Layman's description

EUTERPE is training and supervising 11 Early Stage Researchers in interdisciplinary, transnational, gender focused literary studies and is organized into 8 WPs within four main areas:

Transnational women’s literature and its travels: points of entry and pathways (WP 1, WP2);
Translational genres: crossing borders in gender, form, space, and identity (WP 3, WP4);
Transnational women intellectuals, multilingualism and decolonising European pedagogies (WP 5, WP6);
Transnational literature and cultural production: intermediality as a form of translation (WP7, WP8).

The Doctoral Fellow’s academic training includes two supervisors from cooperating universities, a mobility secondment period, and an industrial internship with an Associated Partner organization to support bespoke employability enhancement.
