Abstract:

In a post-modern world where selfhood is defined by diversity and multiplicity, Elif Shafak’s Black Milk outlines how women’s experiences depict a tragic fate. In this memoir Elif Shafak writes about motherhood and authorship and the many stereotypes women face in a patriarchal society. For many women writers, motherhood became a burden, because they had to choose between being a “good” mother and a “good” author. This article aims to explore the complexity of women’s identity in Black Milk through a feminist perspective and also to analyse Elif Shafak’s feminine discourse and its empowerment

Writing about themselves, women return to their mothers and secure their self-identification by writing about the newly founded mother-daughter relationship.

Therefore, in order to depict a fair image of the mother, woman writers are compelled to stand against this overly simplistic depiction to portray her as complex and different.

Abstract:

The article aims to explore intersectionality and its societal impact on the characters as portrayed in Elif Shafak’s 10 Minutes 38 Seconds In This Strange World (2019). This issue was extensively discussed to comprehend the representation of gender inequality and patriarchy in the story. Although the text has been the subject of discussion among a limited number of scholars, the novelty of this study lies in its adoption of a theoretical perspective that has not been utilized previously, specifically Kimberly Crenshaw’s framework of intersectionality. Methodologically, this qualitative study

Abstract:

In this article, the researchers emphasize on the abjection faced by the protagonist in the novel “10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World”. In this novel, Shafak discusses the experiences of a prostitute and how she encounters physical and psychological violence. The writer has particularly discussed the unjust treatment of sex workers in Istanbul. In this misogynistic world, victimization and marginalization of particular classes of society is exceedingly pervasive. This particular class of sex workers encounters huge discrimination and persistent intolerance. Elif Shafak’s character Lei

Abstract:

In Alwan’s A Small Death “Mouton Sageer” (Alwan, 2016) and Shafak’s Forty Rules of Love (2010), Sufism was promoted in as in many literary works because they believed Sufism is the remedy to oppose today's religious bigotry in essence that it called for universal spirituality, equality, love and coexistence among humanity across cultures and religions. This paper investigates the writings and debates of both authors on Sufism from two viewpoints on some of the most critical socio-political issues related to peaceful coexistence and women's empowerment since securing women's rights in society i

Shafak’s The Forty Rules of Love captures a strong association between the spiritual love and the Sufi’s love. Numerous studies investigated the various phenomenon in the Shafak’s novel, however, no one focused on Shams’ wisdom behind the rules presented. This study aims to explore the wisdom inherent in Mystical Philosophy, through analysing Shams’ first six rules of spiritual love. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method, first six rules of the God’s love are identified as: (1) We see God as a direct reflection of ourselves (2) Heart is the primary source of truth & God (3) There

Eclectic Sufism that might be interpreted as a modern form of subjectivity construction has been observed in Morocco and Pakistan. This article reports comparable phenomena elsewhere, using the case of the Arabic translation of Elif Shafak’s novel The Forty Rules of Love. The article argues that, in the wider Arab world as in Morocco and Pakistan, the localization of eclectic Sufism is an instance of the reinterpretation of Islamic traditions to incorporate globally relevant social imaginaries. It questions, however, the association between eclectic Sufism and individualism, and argues that th
