Abstract

ABSTRACT By drawing on the concept of performatively created third space, we examine how spatially mobile Muslim women in Broken Verses negotiate and challenge heterosexual identity in Pakistan. We argue that the women expand the meanings of national identity through practical hybridity and alternating between feminist reinterpretations of the Quran, cultural norms and universalist individualist consciousness – constructing a third space subjectivity. We foreground third space epistemology to read the gender and sexual subjectivity of mobile Muslim women situated in the heteronationalist setting which is influenced by the emergence of conservative religiosity and increased social and spatial mobility.

Kamila Shamsie破碎诗句中空间流动的穆斯林女性性取向的重新定位

摘要通过借鉴表演创造的第三空间的概念，我们考察了《破碎的诗篇》中在空间上流动的穆斯林女性如何在巴基斯坦谈判和挑战异性恋身份。我们认为，女性通过实践的混合，在女权主义对《古兰经》的重新解释、文化规范和普遍主义个人主义意识之间交替，扩展了国家身份的含义——构建了第三空间主体性。我们展望第三空间认识论，以解读处于异质民族主义背景下的流动穆斯林女性的性别和性主体性，这种背景受到保守宗教信仰的出现和社会和空间流动性增加的影响。

期刊介绍： National Identities explores the formation and expression of national identity from antiquity to the present day. It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with "the other" etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of "nation"in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class. The focus is on identity, rather than on contingent political forms that may express it. The journal is not prescriptive or proscriptive in its approach.
