Abstract

In her work, Barbara Storck examines the gender-specific semantics of literary spaces in narrative texts by Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Mme de Genlis, Mme de Staël, and Charles Nodier. Central to her examination is the motif of spatial constriction and in particular that of the enclosed woman. The goal of the investigation is to uncover the constitution of the female subject through literary spaces. Unfortunately there is little development of a gender analytical perspective – to the benefit, however, of the presentation of multiple contemporary discourses on subject-space constitution.
