PROCESSES OF MEMORY GENDERED CRONOTOPES
Abstract
Gendered cronotopes are defined as a methodological strategy to facilitate the access to wide interpretations of gender relations and gender systems. They are also related to non discursive memory. Specific and general cronotopes illustrate the intensity of negotiation of identities. Darkness and solitude discussed as a general cronotope condense meanings of deeply ingrained fear. However, overcoming fear opens to new depths of non discursive memories; it implies the conquest of new areas of expression and thus of identity. And at a more general level of meaning it provides ways to experience the dominion over uncontrolled forces which are often presented as immutable expressions of gender destinies.
