Abstract:

This article critically analyses The<em> Song of Draupadi</em> by Ira Mukhoty through the dual lenses of Feminist Stylistics as proposed by Sara Mills and Écriture Féminine as theorised by Hélène Cixous. Recasting Draupadi not as a passive mythological figure but as a complex, embodied subject, Mukhoty disrupts the traditional patriarchal narrative of the <em>Mahabharata</em>. The article investigates how Mukhoty’s stylistic and linguistic choices foreground Draupadi’s agency, resistance, and subjectivity within a socio-cultural and political context. Fe

Abstract:

Arabic feminist narratives have taken significant steps towards developing their unique narratives amidst numerous other discourses that attempt to confiscate their elements. The features constituting Arab feminist discourse have been numerous and varied, but narrative stereotypes and repeated disclosures almost dominated the general direction of Arab feminist narrative themes. Accordingly, this research paper adopts a non-stereotypical approach towards investigating the investment of feminist narratives in cultural potentials and the choices of experimentation.

Abstract:

The history of Western literature since the 18th century has witnessed some excellent works by women writers, however, due to stereotypes and the authority of male discourse, these writers still endured great pressure from society in the creative process. To break the authority and gain recognition, female writers gradually formed a narrative voice belonging to themselves. In her novel To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf uses a great deal of interior monologue and free indirect discourse to cleverly construct her narrative authority. This adequately denotes the essence of feminist narratology, w

Anti-feminism is a movement that is more opposed to reaffirming, maintaining, and increasing the subordination of women by patriarchal forces. For this movement, feminist thinking can lead to deviant actions because these thoughts are not in accordance with religious teachings.

Abstract:

The issue of women’s rights in the Middle East remains a topic of high controversy between a western and Middle Eastern rhetoric. The influence of the colonial discourse during the 19th century created a space that reimagined Arab women as inferior sexual figures that need saving. Whereas, in a postcolonial era, women became symbols of resistance to the western culture and the colonial rhetoric, in which their Islamic identity is highlighted. Hence, the reformation of women’s status was restricted and overpowered by the authoritative national political discourse and patriarchal religious cultu

Abstract:

In this essay, I suggest that we may read Esther Summerson's narration in Bleak House through the lens of recent feminist theoretical speculations on mimicry and masquerade. I argue that Esther's narrative is a duplicitous one in that it redeploys masculine modes of discourse, calling attention to the production of women in that discourse. Writing a narrative about her life, Esther, in effect, copies masculine discourse, but she also writes over it imprinting her own signature. Esther's writing sheds much light on the text's obsessive focus on writing and copying; she produces copy, the copy o

Abstract:

Both feminine discourse theorists and utopian authors are concerned with the narrative function of space. Both disciplines deconstruct material space in order to portray what has not happened yet. Feminist discourse theorists deconstruct representational space to subvert traditional perceptual orders, while authors of feminist utopias construct ideal spaces in order to subvert political inequality and notions of historical inevitability. A consequence in both disciplines is the literalization of women’s marginality and the reinscription of women’s “otherness.” (JP)

I argue that these novels reflect not only the stages of the author’s career as a novelist but also of the transition of Kuwaiti women’s fiction from the conventional to the postmodern narrative technique and discourse. Al-Sālim’s first and second novels typically reproduce-albeit subversively-the dominant literary discourse and employ conventional narrative techniques. On the other ha

This essay considers how Paul Ricoeur’s philosophy, including his philosophical hermeneutics and narrative theory, could be employed to facilitate dialogue and understanding between feminists from different contexts.

Weaving together Ricoeur’s writing and theories with the work of two feminist scholars, Trinh T. Minh-ha and Grace M. Cho, illuminates the potential Ricoeur’s work has to play a part in feminist discourse.

The dystopian fiction written by feminist writers towards the end of the twentieth century and beyond significantly exemplifies this form of hybrid textuality.

Abstract:

Abstract: This paper is the first to identify and conceptualize theological notions in contemporary rabbinic discourse which serve to undermine the advancement of women's rights and curtail the integration of feminist notions and norms into religious Zionist society in Israel. Our analysis identifies five discursive moves that serve as broad theological obstacles, providing religious grounding for the current illiberal hostility to feminism in Israel. The primary axes of backlash in rabbinic discourse are: "sacrifice," "the slippery slope," "gender essentialism," "normalcy" or "family values,"

Abstract:

In the contemporary era, discussions around gender equality and women's representation had gained significant traction, emphasizing the need for equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. This research explored the portrayal of feminist values through the movie “Losmen Bu Broto,” directed by Ifa Isfansyah and Eddie Cahyono. Using Roland Barthes' semiotic framework, the research analysed how the movie represented feminism by examining the characterization of its female protagonists, including Bu Broto, Mbak Pur, and Jeng Sri. The movie, adapted from a TV series and set in a traditiona

Abstract:

This attempt to develop an indigenous reading of feminism as both activism and discourse in the Caribbean is informed by my own preoccupation with the limits of contemporary postmodern feminist theorizing in terms of its accessibility, as well as application to understanding the specificity of a region. I, for instance, cannot speak for or in the manner of a white middle-class academic in Britain, or a black North American feminist, as much as we share similarities which go beyond the society, and which are fuelled by our commitment to gender equality. At the same time, our conversations are i

Abstract:

From a cultural approach and a feminist perspective, this article analyzes a gendered narrative of official corruption in China through news reports of “keeping a second wife.” Moreover, it engages the lived experiences and perceptions of the message receivers. Drawing upon feminist discourse analysis, interviews, and digital ethnography, this study shows that a cultural script derived from the Chinese storytelling tradition of “women are a source of trouble” serves as a contemporary narrative of corruption in the state media. Nevertheless, the media narrative has generated a vigorous audience

Film, as one of the mainstream media in the 21st century, has shaped societal norms, which molds public perceptions and values. With the emergence of feminism in the 21st century, it can be witnessed an increasing trend in the appearance of films on the theme of feminism. However, in the Chinese film industry, most of the positions are predominated by men (usually defined as director, producer, and writer), leaving women significantly underrepresented. This study aims to dissect the context of two films, "I am Not Madame Bovary" and "Lost in the Star", which are feminist-theme content directed

Background and Purpose: Fahmida Riaz was able to articulate precise feminist politics through her voice because she was audible to many women in the Pakistani context. The current study investigates how her writings about the female body were not merely a tool to celebrate or raise the sexual distance, but also influenced a political intervention and shifted the dominant patriarchal structures present in literary as well as other social and political levels.

Cinderella’s character and feminist ideology are contradictory. The phrase “Cinderella Complex Syndrome,” which refers to women’s dread of independence, supports this idea. Fairy tales are full of beautiful, passive, submissive princesses, as well as bold, independent female constrained by archaic gender stereotypes. They uphold conventional norms about gender roles and value. Fairy tale adaptation is not a new phenomenon; for centuries, people have used it to further their objectives, uphold their cultural standards, and further their ideologies.

When Sarah Bessey walked to the pulpit at South Bend City Church on May 6, 2018, she enacted a role widely debated in evangelical circles: a woman preacher. Analyzing this featured sermon, we explore the ways in which Bessey draws upon and reinvents the styles and strategies women have long employed when preaching within the church. Ultimately, we demonstrate how Bessey weaves together evangelical discourse, the feminine rhetorical style, and the genre of story-sermons, creating a prophetic narrative that calls the church to repent from sins of oppression and to be resurrected into the new lif

The “manosphere” is a constellation of masculinist social media communities loosely unified by an anti-feminist worldview. Although extant journalism and social media scholarship successfully delineate the manosphere as a significant social problem by associating it with misogynist cybercrime and cyberhate, the resulting narrative simplistically pathologizes manosphere discourse while leaving its misogyny undertheorized. In this article, I complicate this emerging narrative by demonstrating how a certain central manosphere discourse qualitatively overlaps with a broader neoliberal ideology. I
