"Too Immoral To Be Narrated By A Woman": Censoring Erotic Fiction Of Arab Women Writers In Girls Of Riyadh And Distant View Of A Minaret And Other Stories, Muhammed Salem
Comparative Woman
In the Arab world, bargaining with censorship has been an ongoing struggle for writers, particularly female authors. How could we explain that only male writers were allowed to discuss sexuality in the Arabic canon, insofar as female characters are portrayed as passive sexual objects? Are Arab women writers victims of double censorship? One is imposed on their fellow male writers, and another is tacit censorship which judges women’s morality based on their writing. Girls of Riyadh (2007) by Saudi novelist, Rajaa Abdullah Alsanea, and Distant View of the Minaret and Other Stories (1987) by Egyptian novelist, Alifa Rifaat, are two …

Women, Animals, Food: Planetary Perspectives On The Non-(Hu)Man, Samu/Elle Striewski
Comparative Woman
The paper comparatively reads Mahasweta Devi’s Pterodactyl, Pirtha, and Puran Sahay (1995) and Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood (2009) to trace the ways in which both novels show the complex intertwinement of the climate crisis with gender, class, race, subalternity, anthropocentrism, and veganism. Bringing together Gayatri C. Spivak’s notion of “planetarity” with ecofeminist philosophy and literary criticism, the article proposes a planetary ecogender reading of the two texts and their representation of the non-man, non-human, and non-subject. Building up further on Jacques Derrida’s critique of carno-phallogocentrism, the pedagogy of a relational ethics of “nurturing” is hence presented …

Mapping Literature In The Age Of Ai, Virginia Ramos
Comparative Woman
"Mapping literature in the age of AI" discusses the concept of "mapping", from its historical meaning to its technological meaning in the field of literature and AI tools developed in recent years and designed to "map literature". The article addresses ethics, biases, and the issue of human capacities vis a vis machine capacities, in support of the critical and crucial value of the humanities and their unavoidable relationship with GenAI.

Describing Dictee, Seo-Young J. Chu
Publications and Research
The visual images in Dictee are famously captionless. They resist straightforward explanation. In writing image descriptions of the images in Dictee, I have tried to preserve the "captionlessness" of the original. The point here is not to explain the pictures—an image description is not identical to a caption—but to make Dictee more accessible to readers who are blind and visually impaired. I realize, of course, that in trying to make Dictee's captionless images more "legible," I have inevitably "mistranslated" Dictee as it was originally designed to be experienced. Its captionlessness is lost in translation despite my efforts to preserve it. …

หลับใหลเพื่อหล่อหลอมตัวตน : การนอนหลับกับการสร้างความเป็นอื่นและความเหลื่อมล้ำทางด้านเชื้อชาติ ชนชั้น และเพศสภาพ ในนวนิยายเรื่อง My Year Of Rest And Relaxation ของ Ottessa Moshfegh, เปมิกา อนุรักษ์เลขา
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
สารนิพนธ์ฉบับนี้มุ่งศึกษาบทบาทของ “การนอนหลับ” ในนวนิยายเรื่อง My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018) ของ Ottessa Moshfegh โดยวิเคราะห์ว่าการนอนหลับในเรื่องดังกล่าวมิได้เป็นเพียงกลไกในการหลีกหนีจากสังคมและเยียวยาบาดแผลทางจิตใจเพื่อนำไปสู่การหล่อหลอมตัวตนแบบใหม่ที่พึงปรารถนาเท่านั้น หากยังทำหน้าที่เป็นเครื่องมือในการยืนยันสถานะความเป็นอภิสิทธิ์ชน และในการสร้างความเป็นอื่นและความเหลื่อมล้ำทางเชื้อชาติ ชนชั้น และเพศสภาพ ซึ่งนำไปสู่การต่อรองทางอัตลักษณ์ที่เกี่ยวข้อง โดยเห็นได้จากการวิเคราะห์ภูมิหลังทางครอบครัว ตลอดจนแนวคิดและการกระทำของตัวละครเอกซึ่งเป็นหญิงผิวขาวชนชั้นสูงในสังคมอเมริกัน รวมถึงความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างตัวละครเอกกับตัวละครอื่น ๆ ที่แวดล้อม โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในด้านที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการนอนหลับของตัวละครเอก ผลการวิเคราะห์ยังแสดงให้เห็นว่าฉากหลังของเรื่อง—ซึ่งเกิดขึ้นในเขตแมนแฮตตันในมหานครนิวยอร์กและครอบคลุมช่วงเวลาก่อนและระหว่างเหตุการณ์ 9/11—อาจสะท้อนให้เห็นความเชื่อมโยงระหว่างความเหลื่อมล้ำที่ปรากฏในระดับความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างตัวละครกับความเหลื่อมล้ำในสังคมวงกว้าง

The Controversy Of Teaching World Literature And The Importance Of Translation In The Field Of English Studies, Samirah Almutairi
English Faculty Publications
For literary texts to be taught in World Literature courses in the Departments of English Literature, they must be translated into English as a general rule. Some scholars advocate for translating literary texts, and others believe that translation as a methodology does not do justice to these texts. This study aims to lay out the arguments for each position and evaluate them. The significance of this study is to show that World Literature remains an essential field and to highlight the importance of translation. This study questions the modes and purpose of translating literary texts. The result of this study …

Beauvoir, “French” Feminisms, And “Translation Work:” A Roundtable Conversation, Sandrine Sanos, Judith G. Coffin
Journal of Feminist Scholarship
This conversation featuring four scholars—Sandrine Sanos, Judith G. Coffin, Lorraine Delavaud, Marine Vaslin—took place on zoom on December 1, 2023. It was organized, transcribed, and edited by Sandrine Sanos who also wrote the introduction to contextualize the conversation. The roundtable reflects on the making of the translation of Judith Coffin’s book on Beauvoir; and how it became a collective object, and the challenges and productive limitations that it involved, showing how such a project helped forge and relied upon transnational, transdisciplinary, and transgenerational feminist solidarities. The ways Beauvoir became a transatlantic object sheds light on the ways that the book …

Two Decades Of Gender Troubles In Iceland: The Translation Of Gender, Differences, And The Uncertainty Of Meaning, Katrín Harðardóttir
Journal of Feminist Scholarship
When “gender” was translated to Icelandic in 1998 as kyngervi, the notion of performative gender had been circulating in Icelandic academia for a little over a year. The introduction and dissemination of the term inside academia then became quite rapid, with the help of diverse professional fields such as art, literary, history and gender studies, but criticism on the translation did not appear until well into the second decade of the twenty-first century, when it was pointed out that the translated term conveys a difference between “sex” and “gender,” with the possible consequence of perpetuating this dichotomy although it …
