| Sumario: | Based on Donna Haraway's crusade (2021) against the technology of scientific writing of the modest witness, I am interested in thinking about forms of academic writing that situate knowledge. Specifically, I have wondered about the possibility of an authorial construction with a gender mark. In a corpus of 80 articles written by women and published in specialized journals in literature and humanities during the year 2020, I distinguished various procedures in which the authors marked their gender and classified them as being of lower or higher risk. In this article, I provide a linguistic-grammatical description of these types of procedures, with a focus on the high-risk ones that allow for the configuration of what I call a "self as (female) author", i.e., a writing technology that can stand up to the modest witness. I propose a tentative classification of resources (grammatical, lexical, textual, and semantic), analyze their discursive functions, and draw generalizations about the levels of risk of these different procedures. The potential for constructing a "self as (female) author" presents a space of emergence that can be developed into a feminist policy for academic writing. |
