Book Review of The Bridge by Enza Gandolfo Enza Gandolfo’s The Bridge was a difficult one to read for a few reasons. Firstly, it’s subject matter is heavy going.

Today I spent a lot of time with Enza Gandolfo (not really with her; just with her paper on feminine fictionmaking - http://vuir.vu.edu.au/3668/). I also read a paper on disrupting hegemonic language in science education. As a result I should be more careful with my language than to joke around and say I was with Enza in person. Or, actually, maybe it’s the opposite - I should be bending language, playing with it to disrupt it. After all there is no definition of ecriture feminine - you’re just meant to disrupt. And this can be through using experimental methods if you want, but you can roll with normal narrative style and still tell stories that are subversive because they oppose patriarchal expectation/structure. Interestingly both Enza and the science writer Gill took parts of feminist approaches they liked, but found there were elements that didn’t work for them. I don’t know if there’s enough room in my PLR paper to discuss it - perhaps I can do it in the exegetical section - but I feel the same about feminism on the whole. Pure prescription can’t work, because it defies the point of feminism. Women are entitled to the choice. If they don’t fit a model that’s fine - that’s the point. Write your own story, be your own body, disrupt and rupture in your dysfunction. The research into creative writing is actually reflecting what I know of general feminism, only moreso. I guess it’s a kind of informed activism so it makes sense. I’m thinking about how to make a hybrid text without it feeling sharp or jerky. I guess it’s experimental time… Only the folio is short so any variety may come across as bumpy. But posters don’t count as words… Subversive…
