Migration, reparation, dictation
In her sixth novel, La discrétion , Faïza Guène paints the fragmentary fictionalized portrait of her own mother, a 70-year-old Algerian-born woman who goes unnoticed in many contexts in contemporary France where she has lived for forty years. The violent memories of her childhood during the Algerian War intertwine with the realities of her daily life in the Parisian suburbs and the challenges faced by her children show how difficult it can be to …
Worldwide Women Writers in Paris
Worldwide Women Writers in Paris brings together a variety of authors who are a part of a phenomenon of new writing by women in French. These individuals, all eighteen of whom hail from outside the hexagonal borders of France, have chosen to take up residence in the French capital and compose literary works in French. Whether they were born in Algeria, Hungary, India, Mauritius, South Korea, or elsewhere, these women writers are contributing to a…
Activistes féministes
Several prominent contemporary Francophone women writers have embraced activism in compelling forms. In her written creations, Maïssa Bey from Algeria has continually called attention to the lack of women’s rights in her homeland; she has also initiated writing workshops for women to reflect and express themselves. Fatou Diome, who left Senegal for Strasbourg, has shed light in her work on racism and sexism that African immigrants often face in E…
The Names of Love
As Jacques Derrida pointed out in “Des Tours de Babel”, the proper name plays a special role in language and is untranslatable in a particular way: “Peter” is not a translation of “Pierre”, for instance. My comments take inspiration from Derrida’s reflections on the name as well as from Emily Apter’s writings on the untranslatable to examine how a number of contemporary authors depict the ways that names, as well as other expressions from Algeria…
Écritures féminines et dialogues critiques
Pour une littérature-monde au féminin”
Answering to “Muslim” language, country, and religion in Zahia Rahmani's “Musulman” roman
Countering canons, confronting francophonie
There is a new proliferation of literary works composed in French by women from around the world. The manifesto, Pour une littrature-monde en franais (2007) bears the signatures of a stunningly diverse handful of women writers such as Maryse Cond, Ananda Devi, Nancy Huston, Anna Mo, and Brina Svit, who exemplify this significant phenomenon. The contributions of authors like Eva Almassy and Chahdortt Djavann to the 2007 book, Pour une littrature-m…
Citing the “Cité” in Francophone Fiction
Prior to the explosive manifestations on the outskirts of cities throughout France in October and November 2005, a number of writers had provided textual foreshadowing of this unprecedented express
Francophone postcolonialism from Eastern Europe
This article draws from recent research that makes an argument for studying literature from what David Chioni Moore calls the post-Soviet sphere under the rubric of postcolonial theory. It contends that conceiving of countries formerly under Soviet rule as having some characteristics in common with countries once under French colonial rule can yield productive results. It is quite possible that the concentration in literary studies on relations b…

Poetique
D chiffrer le silence
Cermaine Tillion (b. 1907) is unquestionably one of the most significant figures in contemporary French thought. A number of recent works devoted to her exceptional life experience and writings have brought her to the attention of a large public.1 Emblematic, she is also unclassifiable. As an ethnographer on an international mission to the Aurès region of Algeria from 1934 to 1940, Tillion gathered notes to inspire two later works on Maghrebian s…

Dental health of recent immigrant children in the Newcomer schools, San Francisco
Dental screenings of 1,012 recent immigrant elementary school children in San Francisco showed 77 per cent of children needed dental treatment on first screening, compared to 25 per cent in the 1979-80 National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) survey for the western United States. The prevalence of dental caries in primary teeth of the immigrant six and seven year-olds was twice that of their US counterparts. Non-refugee immigrants had more se…
