- In the wake of recent work on women and eating disorders, Jordan and Still co-conceived the idea of a special issue which took a broader context, namely, that of disorderly eating, in order to avoid premature labelling or ghettoization of practices and representations that are actually hard to fix precisely on a spectrum from lethal to apparently healthy. Still contributed a substantial, newly-researched essay (11,000 words) to make the case through the close analysis of a short story on gluttony. Jordan and Still co-wrote a lengthy original Introduction (approaching 13,000 words) on which they collaborated for a period of nearly three years. They aimed to lay out the argument of the volume with some depth and breadth, and to provide context for the articles, which were specially commissioned from specialists in women’s writing across languages and career stages. Contributors were brought together to discuss the issues – physically on one occasion and then via correspondence.
