Feminist Interventions in Literature and Culture: Essays in Honour of Nóra Séllei
Synopsis
This volume celebrates Nóra Séllei’s achievements and pays tribute to the ways in which she has shaped Hungary’s intellectual life. At the same time, it represents a modest contribution to the ongoing feminist intervention in academic and cultural discourse. True to her vision, we have sought to honour her life’s work by assembling a collection with a distinctly feminist academic focus, inviting colleagues whose writings engage with and extend the intervention of feminism and gender studies in Eastern Europe. The essays gathered here reflect the breadth of feminism’s influence in contemporary scholarship, spanning literature, theory, and cultural critique. Together, they indicate the ways feminism and gender studies continue to inspire new forms of academic engagement.
