Exile and Nomadism in French and Hispanic Women's Writing

Autor: Kate Averis

Número de Páginas: 192

Women in exile disrupt assumptions about exile, belonging, home and identity. For many women exiles, home represents less a place of belonging and more a point of departure, and exile becomes a creative site of becoming, rather than an unsettling state of errancy. Exile may be a propitious circumstance for women to renegotiate identities far from the strictures of home, appropriating a new freedom in mobility. Through a feminist politics of place, displacement and subjectivity, this comparative study analyses the novels of key contemporary Francophone and Latin American writers Nancy Huston, Linda Le, Malika Mokeddem, Cristina Peri Rossi, Laura Restrepo, and Cristina Siscar to identify a new nomadic subjectivity in the lives and works of transnational women today.

Angeles Mastretta

Autor: Jane Elizabeth Lavery

Número de Páginas: 278

The first major study on the works of the Mexican novelist, Angeles Mastretta, demonstrating the rich complexity and range of the author's fiction and essays. The Mexican novelist, Angeles Mastretta [b. 1949], has only recently received serious critical attention largely because her work has been seen as 'popular' and therefore inappropriate for academic study. This first major work tobe published on Mastretta seeks to demonstrate the rich complexity and range of the author's fiction and essays. In the tradition of Post-Boom Latin American women's writing, Mastretta's texts are motivated by a desire to speak primarily of the silenced experiences and voices of women. Two of her novels, referential and testimonial in style, can be placed within the Mexican Revolutionary Novel tradition and explore the Revolutionary period and its consequences in the light of female experiences and perspectives. The hitherto unexplored themes of female sexuality and bodily erotics in Mastretta's texts are also considered in this volume. Her feminist works avoid facile simplifications: heterogeneous and dialogical, they interweave the historical and the fictional, the everyday and the fantastic. The...

Isaiah 53 in the Light of Homecoming After Exile

Autor: Fredrik Hägglund

Número de Páginas: 220

In this study, Fredrik Hagglund presents an interpretation based on a hypothesis that conflicts emerged between the people in the land of Israel and those who returned from exile. He analyzes these conflicts with the help of contemporary refugee studies, other texts of the Old Testament, and also relevant passages in Isa 40-55. At the end of the exile, there was hope that the deported people would return to Israel, that it would be rebuilt, and that Jerusalem would again flourish. This hope is most clearly expressed in Isa 40:1-52:10. However, as time went by, there was a realization that the envisaged glorious return was in reality a rather limited return, and the joy of receiving those who returned had turned into conflicts, not least regarding the possession of land and the availability of places to live. In this situation, someone probably reflected on the message of Isa 40:1-52:10 and sought to understand what had gone wrong. Isa 53 was then inserted as an explanation of how the people in the land of Israel, i.e. the we, should have received those who returned, i.e. the servant. If this embrace had taken place, Mother Zion would have rejoiced, as described in Isa 54. Instead...

Reading the Feminine Voice in Latin American Women's Fiction

Medeiros-Lichem, who is a strong writer, presents a revision of her dissertation (in comparative literature from Carleton U., Ottawa, Canada) on the writing of nine women writers from Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina.

Les Sépharades en littérature

Autor: Esther Benbassa

Número de Páginas: 204

Née dans la péninsule Ibérique, la littérature sépharade (Sefard signifie Espagne en hébreu) a traversé les frontières après l'expulsion de 1492 et ses figures de proue hantent plus tard l'oeuvre d'écrivains issus d'horizons multiples, comme Elias Canetti et Albert Cohen. Ce livre parcourt l'histoire de cette littérature où se croisent Occident et Orient, judaïsme, islam et christianisme.
