S/oil: The energetic potential of the dead in Arab women’s petrogothic writing
Feminist Gothic, Critical Irrealism and Arab Women’s World-Literature: ‘Living with Ghosts’
Conclusion: Telling (Ghost) Stories
Introduction: The Haunted House of Modernity
Woman’s Work is Never Done: Exhaustion and Alienation
This concluding coda to the “A Woman’s Work is Never Done” Special Issue focuses on themes of exhaustion and alienation in women’s work. This coda builds on the Introduction and papers in the issue to examine how women’s labor often negotiates between and beyond the world-systemic wage relation, yet, women of course still operate within the capitalist world-system. Here I bring together the papers in this Special Issue to consider how, if “a woma…
Woman’s Work: Making Something Out of Nothing
This paper introduces this Special Issue of the Journal of World-Systems Research, “Women in World-Literature: A Woman’s Work” by making the case that the Warwick Research Collective’s (WReC 2015: 9) conception of “combined and uneven development” can not only be applied to women’s writing in conversation with materialist feminist theory, but perhaps misses the ways in which women, Black feminists, indigenous lifeways, and queer world-making show…
Like Seeking out a Lost Friend”: Reconsidering “Pioneer” Arab Feminists and Their Networks as Part of a/the First Wave
Contemporary Arab feminist writers such as Margot Badran and Mona Eltahawy describe their personal discovery of Arab “pioneers.” This label positions “pioneers” as exceptional figures, which untethers their legacy from contemporary Arab feminists, and from one another. Drawing on the Warwick Research Collective's concept of “combined and uneven development,” this essay rethinks how we understand the first wave to account for the feminist historie…
Sexual cultures in university: An arts-based intervention
Universities are increasingly recognized as spaces and cultures where gendered and sexualized harassment is endemic. This article pays close attention to the manifestations of sexualized behaviours in a campus university in the UK, examining some of the ways in which formations of masculinity are encouraged and reproduced through university structures, processes and aesthetics. The discussion draws on data generated by a creative project utilizin…
Situating Arab women's writing in a feminist 'global gothic: Madness, Mothers and Ghosts
This article sketches a new way of approaching some contemporary Levantine (Egyptian and Lebanese) feminist texts. Extending Glennis Byron's notion of the 'global gothic', I examine Hanan Al-Shaykh's The Story of Zahra (1986), Mansoura Ez Eldin's Maryam's Maze (2007) and Joumana Haddad's The Seamstress' Daughter (2019) as examples of an Arab feminist Gothic approach, which serves as a framework to theorise difficult and pressing questions that fe…
Buried in the desert and lost in the city: Gothic spaces in Egyptian feminist writing
Decolonizing the Undead: Rethinking Zombies in World-Literature, Film, and Media
Looking beyond Euro-Anglo-US centric zombie narratives, Decolonizing the Undead reconsiders representations and allegories constructed around this figure of the undead, probing it's cultural and historical weight across different nations and its significance to postcolonial, decolonial and Neoliberal discourses. Taking stock of zombies as they appear in literature, film and television from the Caribbean, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, India, …
