Trucking In and Out of Universities: An Interview Between Inez Baranay and Alison Bartlett

Abstract

This interview took place on 14th March, 1993, at Machans Beach, Cairns, as one of a series of interviews with Australian women writers that I undertook as part of my research into the relations between contemporary Australian women writers and French feminist theories of écriture feminine. As a researcher, I was interested in the relations betwen theory and praxis on both a cultural and a subjective level; while I read Baranay's books as theory in practice, I wanted to hear her views on the subject: to listen to her theories of writing.
