‘Convicted Of Patricide?’: Robert Frost’S Nationalism In The Eyes Of Contemporary Arab-American Women Writers, Eman K. Mukattash

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Given the culturally expansive nature of the American literary tradition of today, the question of the relevance of Robert Frost’s poetry to the poetry of contemporary Arab-American women writers is an issue worth digging into. Writing almost one hundred years ago does not make Frost’s poetry out of date. Frost’s poetry is as relevant to today’s America as it has been to the America of his days. And this can be ascribed to the multiplicity of perspectives he presents in his poetry as he examines crucial questions lying at the core of America’s “grand narrative of national development.” (Westover 2004: …

"Writing Unspeakable Things: Speechlessness, Abjection, And The Ethics/Aesthetics Of (Not) Representing Sexual Violence In Three Korean American "Comfort Women' Novels", M Laura Barberan Reinares

Publications and Research

This article analyzes “comfort women” novels by the Korean American authors Therese Park, Nora Okja Keller, and Chang-rae Lee in terms of the ethics and aesthetics of representing sexual violence through language. I specifically look at these authors’ stylistic strategies to describe rape in writing and how they (more or less successfully) avoid voyeuristic portrayals of the “comfort women” by controlling the narrative point of view and relying on traumatic “speechlessness” and abjection. Building on relevant notions from the fields of photography, cinematography, philosophy, and psychoanalysis, this analysis suggests that in-progress representations of rape in language become a futile project …

If the theme of the Arab woman is often treated by the Maghreb novelists of French language, that of the Western woman on the other hand occupies a derisory place, It is true that several Maghreb authors present the foreign woman, French in this case, in the role of a wife thanks to whom the Maghreb man feels adopted in some way by an enchanting West as evidenced by Ma f oi abode (1958) by Tunisian Hachemi Baccoucheou …

The Subversive Power Of Signifying And The Ambivalence Of Modernity In Richard Wright's Native Son, Lahoussine Hamdoune

Dirassat

Richard Wright's novel Native Son (1940) is more often than not dealt with as a distinguished instance of African-American protest literature being lacking in terms of literariness and narrative techniques. While it is true that protest literature’s overemphasis on the socio-political is usually costly, at least as much as the authenticity of the characters and the literariness of a literary work are concerned, the many readings of Native Son looking at it almost exclusively within this frame hardly do justice to the work. A return to Henry Louis Gates's theory of Signifying posited in his seminal book The Signifying Monkey: …

Toni Morrison's Beloved: The Story Of The Wandering Negro Spirit And Its Four Battling Souls, Abdelmajid Ridouane

Dirassat

In the African-American literary tradition, the return to the past is an all-pervading organic strategy which is endowed with crucial but quite ambivalent meanings. African Americans experienced quite a unique condition that conflated geographical trauma with temporal nostalgia. Within this general framework, I will try to demonstrate how in Toni Morrison's highly acclaimed and Nobel Prize winning novel Beloved (1987), the multi-facetted strategies deployed to invoke the past occur on two levels: the inner-text's discursive and border-crossing interplay of the past and the present temporal/spatial settings, and the outer-text’s ambivalent free-floating interplay of four literary and geographical antecedents.
