ABSTRACT

Eowyn: Yes-it’s the place where all the Denzin ‘sixth and seventh moment’ stuff gets aired-totally unlike any other educational journal-off the wall stuff. Are you going to BERA?

(p. 50) In this play or dialogue the strengths and weaknesses of postmodernist theory for feminist scholarship are set out, allowing the two ‘me’s’ to argue through the issues. You may love or hate this freedom to play with texts, and publish poems, plays or short stories. My advice would be, if you plan to write and publish alternative texts, to ensure you also produce some very orthodox papers if only to prove you can do so. Referees and members of appointing panels are often conservative and may be distressed by lots of poems.
