Abstract

From the Editor Jennifer L. Airey In our last issue, Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature had the honor of publishing on the special topic of “Contemporary Black British Women’s Writing,” guest edited by Elisabeth Bekers, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, and Helen Cousins. The issue focuses on literary innovations and experimental forms of writing by British women of African and African Caribbean descent since the 1990s. Through five articles and interviews with four contemporary authors, the guest editors craft an issue that “raises critical questions about the extent to which precedence has been given to the politics over the aesthetics of their writing.”1 The issue recognizes Black women’s writing as a driving force of contemporary literary innovation in Britain. It was a pleasure to work with the guest editors on the issue and to publish this important work. With this special issue, we had three new members join our editorial board: Robin Hackett, Cynthia Richards, and Mary Youssef. Since I was not able to announce them in our last issue, their introductions appear below along with the editorial board members joining with this issue: Gabeba Baderoon, Kimberly Anne Coles, and Laura E. Tanner. While I am looking forward to working with all these exemplary scholars, I am always sad to bid farewell to those rotating off the board. With great appreciation, I say goodbye to Anupama Arora, Mary Jean Corbett, Marilyn Francus, Hala Halim, Jean Mills, and Carrie J. Preston.

在我们的上一期杂志中,《塔尔萨女性文学研究》有幸发表了“当代英国黑人女性写作”的专题,由伊丽莎白·贝克斯、伊丽莎白-简·伯内特和海伦·考辛斯担任客座编辑。这期杂志关注的是20世纪90年代以来非裔和加勒比裔英国女性的文学创新和实验性写作形式。通过五篇文章和对四位当代作家的采访,特邀编辑们精心策划了一个问题,“提出了一个关键问题,即政治在多大程度上优先于他们写作的美学。”这期杂志承认黑人女性的写作是英国当代文学创新的推动力。我很高兴能与特邀编辑就这一问题进行合作,并出版这一重要作品。在这期特刊中,我们有三位新成员加入了我们的编委会:罗宾·哈克特、辛西娅·理查兹和玛丽·优素福。由于我没能在上一期杂志上公布他们的名字,下面是他们的介绍,以及本期的编辑委员会成员:Gabeba Baderoon、Kimberly Anne Coles和Laura E. Tanner。虽然我期待着与这些杰出的学者一起工作,但我总是难过地告别那些轮流离开董事会的人。我满怀感激地向阿努帕玛·阿罗拉、玛丽·简·科比特、玛丽莲·弗朗西斯、哈拉·哈利姆、简·米尔斯和嘉莉·j·普雷斯顿告别。罗宾·哈克特,美国新罕布什尔大学英语系副教授,专攻女权主义理论、酷儿理论、1800年后英国文学和现代主义。她是《萨菲原始主义:现代小说关键作品中的种族、阶级和性》(2004年)的作者,《情感物质性:现代主义文学中的身体重新定位》(2019年)和《帝国的国内外:英国女性写30多岁》(2009年)的合著者。她的作品包括《公共现代主义:在大学课堂上教授二十世纪文学和文化文本》(2013年)、《在帝国的国内外》和《审问女同性恋现代主义:历史、形式、流派》(即将从爱丁堡大学出版社出版),并在伍尔夫研究年度、弗吉尼亚伍尔夫杂记和塔尔萨女性文学研究等场所发表文章。辛西娅·理查兹是维滕贝格大学的英语教授和理查德·p·韦勒英语教授,她在那里指导教学和创新中心、妇女研究项目和跨课程写作项目。她是《女人的错误》一书的编辑;《妇女权利的辩护》(2003)的作者玛丽亚和回忆录,《教授贝恩的《奥罗诺科》(2013)的方法》(2013)、《早期现代创伤:欧洲和大西洋世界》(2021)和《启蒙运动中的日常发烧:18世纪的耐心叙述》(正在进行中)的合著者。她目前正在完成一本专著《身体、创伤和战争,1667-1798》(内布拉斯加州大学出版社即将出版),该书着重从残疾研究和创伤理论的角度重新思考十八世纪经典作品中身体和家庭空间的表现。理查德还在《文学指南》、《英语笔记》、《18世纪小说》和《塔尔萨女性文学研究》等刊物上发表了大量文章,分析了阿芙拉·贝恩、伊丽莎·海伍德、玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特和其他17、18世纪女性作家的作品。她是The Scriblerian的特约编辑和富布赖特学者校友大使。玛丽·优素福,中东与古地中海研究系阿拉伯语副教授,受聘于纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿大学翻译与研究指导项目。她的著作《当代埃及小说中的少数民族》(2018年),通过对伊德里斯·克鲁阿里、巴哈ᵓṬahir、克鲁阿拉ᵓ阿斯瓦尼、优素福·扎伊丹、穆·克鲁塔兹·富塔伊哈、阿什拉夫·库马西和米拉尔·塔哈维等人的小说的案例研究,批判性地审视了埃及文学和社会文化领域内围绕种族、宗教、阶级、性别、性和语言的话语。她曾在《Alif:比较诗学杂志》、《非洲文学协会杂志》(JALA)和《国际伊斯兰建筑杂志》等期刊上发表文章,并撰写了《伊斯兰普世:比较穆斯林社会》一书。
