Abstract
The “stage” provided by a collection of essays such as this, and by the conference that preceded it, is simultaneously a space for investigating the notion of constructing and performing identity. In contributing I am of course staging myself: this performance is part of an ongoing construction of academic or intellectual identity — not unimportant, that, especially as female and academic identities have rarely been allowed to co-exist, certainly not harmoniously, in intellectual history.
