Choice and solidarity in Viola Ardone's Oliva Denaro
Contemporary Italian writer Viola Ardone's most recent novel, Oliva Denaro (2021), fictionalizes the story of Franca Viola, a young Sicilian woman whose refusal to marry her rapist in the 1960s was the first such situation to become highly publicized. In 1981, the law supporting so-called “reparatory marriages” was repealed in Italy, and Viola's case is widely seen as having been the impetus for the change. This article first places the novel in …
Rachid Bouchareb’s ethical cinema: Louisette and Annie , two women in the Algerian war of independence
This article analyses the ethics of representation in Franco-Algerian filmmaker Rachid Bouchareb’s short 2019 documentaries Louisette and Annie, which highlight the participation of mujahidat (female militants) Louisette Ighilahriz and Annie Fiorio-Steiner in the 1954–1962 war of independence from the French. Given how much these women suffered (including under torture) during the war, how to convey their experiences in an ethical manner is a cen…
Multilingual Strategies in Rachid Bouchareb's Hors la loi
This essay focuses on the complex entanglement of the French and Arabic languages and notes the unfortunate absence of Berber languages in Bouchareb's 2010 Algerian war feature film Hors la loi. Starting from Hamid Naficy's insights about “accented cinema,” the essay analyzes the main characters’ accents in both French and Arabic, various levels of phonological and morphological integration of French loan words into Spoken Algerian Arabic (darija…

Beyond departmentalization: Feminist Black Atlantic reformulations of outremer in Daniel Maximin's L'Isol soleil
This article argues that in his 1981 novel L'Isol soleil , Daniel Maximin implicitly decentres the issue of the 1946 departmentalization law through staging multiple criss-crossings of the Black Atlantic. He is primarily interested in including French-Guadeloupean relations in a broader mapping out of the rhizomatic character of Guadeloupean culture. Because Maximin's rewriting of Guadeloupean history positions it in relation not just to France, …

It focuses on the convergence of two related elements in Butler's Kindred and Djebar's La femme sans sépulture: the need to resist historical amnesia and to speak the unspeakable.

Negotiating Tensions: Teaching About Race Issues in Graduate Feminist Classrooms
This essay discusses feminism and race—a complex issue that has been at the forefront of debates in NWSA's history—in the specific context of graduate feminist classrooms. Donadey examines how the struggle to move from a monist (gender-only) analysis of women's oppression to an intersectional framework tends to generate resistance in feminist theory classes, especially when questions of race and racism arise, and particularly at the graduate leve…
