Proverb Language is no longer linked to the knowing of things, but to human freedom. Michel Foucault Feminist and postcolonial theories alike have begun by simply subverting images of existing hierarchies (gender/class/culture/race) in a patriarchal or colonial setting. This strategy was not very effective, because a person may belong to more than one group simultaneously, as Trinh Minh-ha suggests by proposing the "triple bind" (6) in which women of the so-called Third World Borderlands/La Frontera and Lost in Translation , attempt to articulate how their identities are constructed and contribute "to paradigmatic shifts in theorizing difference" (Yarbro-Bejarano 7). These authors approach the problem of constructing a politics of identity from a transnational perspective, recognizing and foregrounding the historical specificity of their individual experiences and asserting that in a responsibly transnational critique of constructions of identity, historical contexts cannot be dismissed. Their texts share a focus on transnationalism, an emphasis on the historical, global, and contextual specificity of experience, particularly as it relates to questions of language. They respond to Gayatri Spivak's injunction that "one needs to be vigilant against simple notions of identity which overlap with language or location" ("Poststructuralism" 201) by beginning with discussions of language and then building on those discussions to create their larger theories of identity.

Her book seeks to convince readers of the necessity of fighting religion in the political arena. She also warns of the futility of using modernity as a cure to national conflict because such concept is alien to Algerian society. 'Loin de Medine' is a tribute to Algerian women whose beliefs have been mangled by Islamic fundamentalism.

Contact Us Enter your search terms Submit search form Home Alexandra N J©r´me Herstory and Algeria’s Zina: A Dual-Reading of Assia Djebar’s: Women of Algiers in their Apartment, by Alexandra Nargiz J©r´me In her novel Women of Algiers in their Apartment, Assia Djebar takes the first steps towards reconciling the effects of the postcolonial world with the history of women’s participation in the struggle for Algerian independence. The novel’s title, which refers to the painting Women of Algiers in their Apartment by Eugene Delacroix, is Djebar’s nod to the pre-colonial, the colonial, and the postcolonial containment of women to various degrees within Algerian society. As such, this article approaches Women of Algiers in their Apartment in a two-pronged analysis: the first is an analysis of the metahistorical attributes of the novel and the standard uses of literary criticism. The second is a reading of Djebar’s allegorical use of the nation as woman and the reclaiming of the nation by contemporary Islamist groups. Thus the book may be read in two manners: as a work of the metahistorical imagination and as an allegorical critique/epitaph of contemporary, Islamized Algeria. The conclusion remains the same: Women of Algiers in their Apartment refers to the compartmentalization of women and their neo-harems.

Fromentin happens upon the severed hand of a woman’s corpse, one of the many casualties of violent incursions by the French. More than a century later, Djebar writes that she has taken up this “main de mutilation et du souvenir” in order to write “une préparation à une autobiographie”(LA 255, Mortimer 203). A metonym of an intertext, the hand that Djebar uses to write her story along with the history of her country is an emblematic image that offers a window onto the complex cultural and literary functions of intertextuality in the postcolonial context. What does it mean for Djebar to cite a text of the former colonizer? Is this a cultural betrayal, or is it rather a gesture of recuperation and transformation? More importantly for Djebar, does cultural betrayal result in writing that is “une route à ouvrir?”
