The Representation of Feminist Identity in Alawiya Sobh’s novel “Dunia”

Volume 5|Issue 20| Spring 2017 |Articles

Abstract

This study approaches the representation of feminist identity in the novel "Dunia" by the novelist Alawiya Sobh in the aim of uncovering the implicit discursive strategies which motivate feminist narrative in the construction of its images and representations of the subject and the other. It is evident that feminist identity in this text takes shape in the space of narrative and cognitive anxiety between the ideology of masculinity that endeavours to dominate and possess women and the utopia of feminist narrative that operates as a counter discourse to masculine dominance, undertakes a deconstruction of its implicit structuration that undermines the image of women in society, and exposes its biases. This leads to the creation of new images of women's subjectivity and discourse.
