Des Féminismes Du Sud Dans Bilqiss De Saphia Azzeddine, C. Calargé, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
Des Féminismes Du Sud Dans Bilqiss De Saphia Azzeddine, C. Calargé, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
French & Francophone Studies Faculty Works
In the current social climate of an increasingly normalized Islamophobia, representations of Islam and Muslim women are as problematic as ever. This is partly due to the risk run by any cultural production dealing with the patriarchy and women's oppression in the Arab-muslim world of being instrumentalized. Accordingly, any such production must be considered alongside questions of its intended consumption or its possible complicity with the dominant order. With this in mind, the article examines Saphia Azzeddine's last novel, Bilqiss. It analyzes the literary strategies the author deploys in order to counter expectations about Muslim women from Western readers, and …

Figure Of An Anartist: Keeping Local Francophone Literature Engaged With Mustapha Benfodil's Literature-Action, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
Figure Of An Anartist: Keeping Local Francophone Literature Engaged With Mustapha Benfodil's Literature-Action, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
French & Francophone Studies Faculty Works
At a time when the Algerian Francophone publishing market remains dominated by Paris and the readership of French is said to be dwindling in Algeria, the future of Algeria's Francophone literary culture appears bleak. Through the writings of Mustapha Benfodil, perhaps the most unavoidable author from the post-Civil War generation, this article analyzes the ways in which contemporary Algerian literature asserts its autonomy from the Parisian “center” and redefines the literary sphere as a cornerstone of social change in Algeria. Paying particular attention to the figure of the “anartiste” first described in Archéologie du chaos (amoureux) (Barzakh, 2007), and later …

La Guerre Du Liban À/Et L'Écran Des Souvenirs Dans: "Le Jeu Des Hirondelles" Et "Je Me Souviens Beyrouth" De Zeina Abirached, C. Calargé, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
La Guerre Du Liban À/Et L'Écran Des Souvenirs Dans: "Le Jeu Des Hirondelles" Et "Je Me Souviens Beyrouth" De Zeina Abirached, C. Calargé, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
French & Francophone Studies Faculty Works
Cet article examine deux récits graphiques de Zeina AbiRached dans lesquels l'artiste se penche sur des souvenirs d'enfance précis, vécus dans son immeuble de la rue Semaani situé près de la ligne de démarcation qui scinde Beyrouth en deux pendant la guerre (1975−1990). Le but de cette étude est d'analyser le succès et les limites de l'effort mnémonique en l'absence d'un projet national de mémorialisation qui offrirait un récit cohérent du cataclysme. À travers l'examen de l'espace (qu'il soit conçu, vécu ou illustré), nous soutenons que le véritable traumatisme engendré par le conflit armé est loin d'être guéri, voire que …
Cute Girls, Tough Boys: Performing Gender In Algerian Manga, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
Cute Girls, Tough Boys: Performing Gender In Algerian Manga, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek
French & Francophone Studies Faculty Works
This article explores the way in which masculinity and femininity are constructed in Algerian manga, an emerging, understudied sub-genre within the field of Algerian graphic art. Through the exploration of youth-oriented publications of shojo and shonen manga, I will demonstrate how these new local works offer a privileged form of expression for and platform to address disaffected Algerian youths. The primary focus of this investigation will be the differences (or lack thereof) between ideals of gender performances as expressed in Algerian manga and ideals of gender identity in society at large. This article will demonstrate that, while some differences manifest …

French & Francophone Studies Faculty Works
This article aims to establish Algerian manga as a new object of study within the field of Francophone studies and the broader field of cartooning in the developing world. To this end, it provides a survey of existing works while answering three main questions: How has manga become part of the cultural habits of young Algerian creators and readers? What status does it hold in local cultural production? Finally, what strategies have artists employed to broaden the readership of Algerian manga and how have they taken advantage of the unique possibilities offered by this new medium?

De Quoi Donner Une Jaunisse À Richelieu: Autour D’Une Lettre De Descartes À Guez De Balzac, Jean-Vincent Blanchard
De Quoi Donner Une Jaunisse À Richelieu: Autour D’Une Lettre De Descartes À Guez De Balzac, Jean-Vincent Blanchard
French & Francophone Studies Faculty Works
Descartes’ work reveals profound changes in seventeenth century concepts of knowledge, social relations, and language. Given that the advent of a metaphysical subject is, in the Cartesian system, bound with a definition of the social aims of philosophy, which entails a rhetoric capable of representing this philosophy to a larger, general public of individual subjects, my study of the optical tropes in a letter written to Guez de Balzac from Amsterdam, on May 5, 1631, suggests that the question of the autonomy of the subject with regard to the State – a State defined by the consolidation of Cardinal Richelieu’s …

Many Algerian writers (Alloula, Djebar, Boudjedra) have revisited the representational politics of colonial iconography despite awareness that this endeavor is at risk of renewing exoticism. This article examines how Leïla Sebbar's "Le peintre et son modèle" reproduces such a problematic stance through the inclusion of a photograph by Joel Leick inline with her short story. Whereas Sebbar attempts to deconstruct the photograph's orientalism by placing it outside the realm of the aesthetic and resituating it within the sexual exploitation of women in the former French colonies, I intend to demonstrate how this photograph reintroduces the very inequalities that her text …

Dans cet entretien enregistré en 2004 (actualisé pour les besoins de cette publication), l'écrivaine ivoirienne Véronique Tadjo, Grand Prix Littéraire d'Afrique Noire en 2005, médite d'abord sur les problèmes sociopolitiques de l'Afrique du Sud et sur le potentiel économique, sur le capital symbolique de ce pays où elle vit depuis 2001. Elle parle ensuite de son œuvre romanesque et poétique, de ses grands thèmes, de son écriture influencée surtout par l'oralité traditionnelle ainsi que de ses textes destinés à la jeunesse, textes qu'elle illustre très souvent ellemême. C'est sans doute cette versatilité formelle qui la distingue entre autres parmi les …
