Women on the Margins: Abjection and Sublimation in Aysha Baqir’s Beyond the Fields
Aysha Baqir’s Beyond the Fields (2019) explores women’s struggles under Zia-ul-Haq’s dictatorship in 1980s Pakistan. Pakistani women’s subjugation stems from the intersection of colonial legacies, patriarchal and feudal authority, military rule, and socio-spatial hierarchies, which limit their educational opportunities, freedom of choice, and individual agency especially in non-urban, conservative contexts. Women’s choices, especially under Zia’s…
The Transformation of Machines From Negative to Positive Otherness in C. Robert Cargill’s Day Zero
This paper examines the transformation of artificially intelligent machines in C. Robert Cargill's Day Zero, tracing their trajectory from disposable “negative otherness” as domestic servants to agential “positive otherness” as posthuman collaborators. Through close reading of key human-robot interactions, particularly the nanny bot Pounce's post-rebellion negotiations with human survivors, the study employs Rosi Braidotti's posthumanism and Fran…
Symbiotic Co-Becoming: Non-Human Agency and the Fluid Interconnection in Daniel H. Wilson’s Robopocalypse
This study critically re-evaluates human-robot relations in Daniel H. Wilson’s Robopocalypse (2011), critiquing anthropocentric frameworks that systematically marginalize non-human entities in posthuman scenarios. Drawing mainly on Neil Badmington, Rosi Braidotti and Francesca Ferrando’s ideas and concepts, it exposes how human characters remain trapped in hierarchical binaries despite posthuman contextual shifts, failing to establish a cross-spe…
Agential Black Body in Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing
Jesmyn Ward’s novel Sing, Unburied, Sing (2017) vividly captures the lived experiences of African Americans in the rural Southern United States amidst the enduring legacies of slavery and the ongoing impact of racial subjugation. This article focuses on the novel’s portrayal of its Black characters and articulation of the Black body to demonstrate how the Black body not only bears the scars of systemic, historical-social injustice but also functi…

From Urban Space to Cyberspace: A Research on Spatial Writing and Human-Android Relations in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

Dick takes the highly computerized but ruined Los Angeles of the United States after the post-apocalyptic war as the background and brings the cyberspace struggle between androids and humans as the novel's theme, sketching a cyberpunk society in which humans and androids fight against each other. The novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? invites people to think about cyberspace and human-androids subjectivity. Inspired by Slavoj Zi…
Reclaiming Subjectivity through the Maternal Abject in Janie Chang’s Three Souls

During this period, China was experiencing political and societal shifts that prompted gender equality movements. Song Leiyin, the female protagonist in Three Souls, embodies the experiences of women during this period. She is an ambitious and desiring woman who lives in a family and society that restricts women's roles and abilities. As a woman wit…
Unearthing the Social Oppression of Muslim Identity under American Imperialism in The Submission by Amy Waldman

This study highlights the issue of the social oppression of the…
Belonging to Nowhere: A Psychological Study of Alienation and Estrangement in Ramabai Espinet's “The Swinging Bridge” (2003)
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…
Abject Desires in Lisa See’s Peony in Love
The establishment of the Manchu led-Qing dynasty in 1636 led to the continuation of Confucianism as the dominant belief system in China. Based on these Confucian principles of patrilineality and patrilocality, women were expected to portray exemplary feminine virtues that required them to remain subservient and obedient to the men in her family. This oppressive practice placed women lower in the hierarchy as, unlike men, they were denied the mean…
