For example: editors, collectors, curators, archivists, rather than just artists and poets. https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198002732 2022-05-24 16:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198002732 We were talking about being respectful and aware of our own privilege when revoicing women and other marginalised groups from the past. https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003029 2022-05-24 16:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003029 what we talked about https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003270 the need for permission, for respect, for not appropriating others' voices - but also about how freeing approaching texts from unusual or unacknowledged perspectives can be.

How to retell or revoice challenging moments – difficult/unpalatable for modern readers – for different audiences? Can we/should we always give voice? sarahbowden3 https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003495 2022-05-24 16:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003495 Hopes/Challenges https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003899 For me, my main hope for feminist revoicing is that we'll get more focus on Wulf and Eadwacer/Wife's Lament as feminine coded narrators.

a lot of the challenge with feminist critique is engaging as a trans man. It feels like I'm taking a space that no longer belongs to me, and also means I run the risk of being misgendered/attacked by trans-exclusionary or gender critical people. -Charlie]]> 2022-05-24 16:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003899 We considered the issue of appropriation and how to bring fresh interpretations in revoicing without utterly overlaying what is already there. We talked about maintaining a porousness of the original so that we inhabit it but don't obliterate it - Sylee https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003969 2022-05-24 16:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198003969 We reflected on the ongoing work of revoicing female voices which may then get lost again. Also tensions around wanting the 'past' to be more malleable than it sometimes proves to be in its reconstructions, and also competing agendas around privilege (whose voices get 'revoiced') Susie https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198004870 2022-05-24 16:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198004870 https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198005743 we discussed how revoicings of the medieval might move beyond direct relationality and representation (i.e. focusing on translations of or responses to medieval material), and instead draw together texts from discrete moments in time to create a more generative, future-oriented 'medievalism']]> 2022-05-24 16:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198005743 https://padlet.com/francesca_allfrey/kg7yzt9rar65n8yb/wish/2198041501 We ended up questioning the term 'revoice' which suggests a unilinear temporarilty
