Abstract

The paper examines the concept of female and feminine writing, its nature and origin. It strives to surpass the concept of equality but also of diversity, i.e. binary (o) positions, dichotomies. Using the psychoanalytical theoretical approach, it starts from an attempt to define the female and feminine. Furthermore, all the characteristics of female and feminine personality, i.e. expression, are considered and described, as well as the ways in which female sexuality penetrates, i.e. emerges, into/out of the textual space. Also, using meticulous analyzes of grammatical categories, female and feminine textual strategies, the theory about the narrow and indivisible relationship between sexual and linguistic genders is presented. Then, practicing the deconstruction method, the linguistic position of the female subject is connected with the processes of individualization, identification, heterosexualization and bisexual relationship with the reality. In short, trying to get out of the Saussure’s concept of language, the work offers a poststructuralist interpretation of female and feminine discourse.
