Welcome to the Heresies Project
The Heresies Project at Bucknell serves to curate and analyze Heresies, a pioneering work of feminist art and criticism. This collaborative project researches the lives and work of the hundreds of women who were involved in the journal’s publication during the years of feminist activity (1977-1993) and, through an intersectional framework, brings the reading of Heresies into the 21st century.
This recovery, recuperation, and preservation work will include annotated readings of selected essays in Heresies, biographical information and interviews with the women involved in the journal’s publication, and commentary on the feminist context that gave rise to Heresies.
The Project makes the content within 27 issues of the journal available in two ways: as full-text indexed PDFs and as entity-rich semantically-encoded TEI-XML files. We are also undertaking analysis into the intertextual and multimodal nature of the work, as well as biographical research about the members of the Heresies Collective and contributors to the journal.
Our goal is to establish a long-running, collaborative, interdisciplinary research project that will continue to bring the Heresies journal and the work put forward by its artists and authors to new audiences in new contexts.
