Knowledge Map and Future Avenue of Cognitive Literary Studies
This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to address the limitations of systematic literature reviews in handling large datasets, and provides a comprehensive knowledge map and future avenues of cognitive literary studies (CLS) that have yet to be systematically explored. Utilizing VOSviewer as a quantitative tool supplemented by qualitative interpretation, this study analyzes 1,283 journal articles extracted from Web of Science Core Collection…
When Women Terrorise
This study focuses on the issue of female psychopathy and the portrayal of an emotionally and mentally disturbed female character in East of Eden (1952) by the contemporary American author, John Steinbeck. Although female characters are like male characters regarding their psychological complexity, the issues of antisocial personality disorders and psychopathy have only been examined in previous studies concerning male characters. Hence, this stu…
Navigating Ethical Dilemmas and Embracing Emotional Responses
The contemporary era’s climate fluctuations have wrought profound consequences on both the planet and its inhabitants, prompting a surge in climate literature that underscores the societal and environmental implications of climate change while instilling a sense of accountability. This study conducts a textual analysis of Memory of Water (2014), a novel by the Finnish author Emmi Itäranta (b. 1976), to examine how the protagonist, Noria, faces et…
Unearthing the Social Oppression of Muslim Identity under American Imperialism in The Submission by Amy Waldman
This study is centred on the first novel published by the contemporary American author, Waldman, in 2011, entitled The Submission. The novel recounts the story of a Muslim architect named Mohammad who wins a contest to design the 9/11 memorial. Set in 2003, New York, the consequence is a serious public outrage swirling around Mohammad or, more precisely, the fact that he is a Muslim. This study highlights the issue of the social oppression of the…
Belonging to Nowhere
Diaspora communities feel alienated because they cannot decide which space they belong to. The notions of identity and home are problematized and characterized by a sense of continuity and discontinuity, a conflict of location and dislocation and a process of hybridization. Espinet's The Swinging Bridge (2003) resembles outstanding indication of the psychological conflict that happens in the mind of the diaspora. Feelings, homes and identities ar…
The Fluid and Transcultural Self
This paper examines how the contemporary Chinese-American author Minfong Ho (b. 1951) portrays Dara, the female protagonist of The Clay Marble (1991), in her practice of culture in Cambodian society in order to explore the Western perspective of the East Asian female identity as voiceless, submissive and hypersexual. Using the concepts of identity fluidity as proposed by the sociologist and cultural theorist Stuart Hall (2011) and his views on th…
Negotiating the Veil and Identity in Leila Aboulela’s Minaret
Leila Aboulela’s novel, Minaret (2005), provides authentic and rich content to explore the Muslim Arab woman’s struggle over creating a modern yet religiously traditional identity. The conceptual framework of Victor Turner’s liminality and Homi Bhabha’s hybridity and the third space are applied in order to frame the analysis of this struggle and to show that the veil is a metaphor for the Arab woman’s positive and negative experiences. In Minare …
Negotiating Liminal Identities in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf
This paper challenges the thought that the term ‘Muslim woman’ connotes submissive or backward and is in need of rescue by the West through a literary analysis of the work by Mohja Kahf (b.1967), a leading contemporary Arab-American Muslim woman writer. In her novel, The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006), Kahf focuses on the oppressive and discriminatory practices Muslim women encounter when wearing the hijab or veil where the main character and…
