Women Writing War - The Life-Writing Of The Algerian «Moudjahidate»

de Caroline E. Kelley

63,14€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Women Writing War focuses on the life-writing of the moudjahidate, the women veterans of the Algerian war of independence (19541962). The author offers close readings of memoir, testimonial, poetry and drama by Jacqueline Guerroudj, Louisette Ighilahriz, Anna Gréki, Zhor Zerari and Myriam Ben, all of whom are documented moudjahidate and self-identify as Algerian. Reading their life-writing through the prism of theories of intertextuality, minor literature and the dialectics of memory and trauma, the author explores the relationship between writing, resistance and political action. Since they compose their work in the first-person voice in the context of the Algerian war, this book argues that their writing operates collectively as a form of counterdiscourse, opening up a textual space where experiences that were previously silenced or marginalized might be expressed.

Mothers Voicing Mothering? - The Representation Of Motherhood In The Novels And Short Stories Of Marie Ndiaye

de Pauline Eaton

61,02€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Mothers and mothering are significant features of contemporary womens writing in France and mothers are narrators and key protagonists in nearly all Marie NDiayes novels and short stories. These mothers rarely strike the reader as attractive personalities and, in their mothering role, are portrayed as inadequate, abusive or even murderous. A pattern of maternal failure is passed on from mother to daughter and the relationship between mothers and daughters is one of rejection and suppression. This book explores what this negative representation tells us about mothers and about how mothers represent their own mothering to themselves. Close readings of text and intertext are at the centre of the analytic approach, embracing references to existing commentaries on the author and to the psychoanalytic, mythological, religious and literary background against which NDiayes mothers demand to be read.

Representing Repulsion - The Aesthetics Of Disgust In Contemporary Womens Writing In French And German

de Katie Jones

72,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Disgust is a strong, immediate visceral reaction. While it may feel like a purely instinctive response, the cultural meanings ascribed to particular objects, bodies or behaviours play a significant role in determining whether or not they are experienced as disgusting. This interplay between bodies and ideas makes disgust a powerful source of metaphor in narrative fiction. For womens writing, disgust is particularly problematic due to a misogynistic tradition in which the female body has often been coded as disgusting. This book offers a comparative study of recently published texts by eight female authors writing in French and German Marie Darrieussecq, Amélie Nothomb, Lorette Nobécourt, Alina Reyes, Sibylle Berg, Jenny Erpenbeck, Monika Maron and Charlotte Roche in terms of an aesthetics of disgust and asks to what extent disgust can be seen as a useful tool for feminist criticism. Since the late 1990s there have been increasing levels of academic interest in disgust in various disciplines, ranging from clinical psychology to aesthetics and moral philosophy. As one of the first full-length studies to consider literary uses of disgust, this book both contributes to the emerging field of disgust theory and offers a new contribution to the study of womens writing.
