Since its publication in 2001, the novel has received divergent remarks from literary critics, especially for its contentious portrayals of sexuality. Viewing Shan's representation of sexuality as a battle of eroticism and abstinence, this essay focuses on how the protagonists' respective sexual explorations reflect and influence their identity-quests and their reciprocal yet untold love. In the book, abstinence, a defining feature of their cross-cultural love, is depicted as eroticism in disguise. While the Chinese girl's sexual awakening empowers her to embrace her womanhood, the Japanese soldier's love encounters enable him to live for and as himself. Throughout the narrative, Shan creates various forms of duality, whether it be structuring the text as a game of Go or presenting the characters as doubles. As the most crucial metaphor of duality, Go serves as a site of reflection and introspection. Through their interactions on the grid, the protagonists complete the liberating process of self-rediscovery by letting the strangers within themselves emerge. Drawing on critical theories of écriture féminine and platonic love, as well as celebrated creative works, such as Alain Resnais' film Hiroshima, mon amour (1959), my analysis seeks to shed new light on the central issues of sexuality, identity, and cross-cultural love in Shan's sentimental tale.","PeriodicalId":391338,"journal":{"name":"Women in French Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122252956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Woman, an Economic Force: A Kaleidoscopic Reading of "Womanism" in Anne Tanyi-Tang's Visiting America 女性，一种经济力量:唐唐访美小说中“女性主义”的万花筒解读

From gender equality to women's empowerment, the concepts that have significantly contributed to enhancing the African woman's image stem, in the majority of cases, from the dissatisfaction of Black feminists who, in their soul and flesh, felt doubly marginalized due to the color of their skin, on one hand, and their status as the weaker sex, on the other; a social malaise caused not only by their men, but also their white feminist counterparts. In a bid to castigate this tendency to absolute supremacy, Sub-Saharan African female writers decided to join the movement initiated in Alice Walker's In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose, a book in which the African American novelist coins the word \"womanism.\" This holds true in Central African women's writings, in general, and those of female Cameroonian writers, in particular. From a Black feminism vantage point, this study discusses the tenets of womanism in Anne Tanyi-Tang's Visiting America. It examines such concepts as the \"liberal and progressive womanist,\" the \"love of food and roundness,\" and the \"spirit of entrepreneurship\"; so many ideas that the Cameroonian playwright brings forth in her masterpiece to carve out new spaces for her fellow African women and awaken those who still remain under the spell and shackles of male dominion. Thus, the vital part they play in boosting the world economy is examined. The analytical appraisal of the selected drama text reveals that as the Cameroonian writer liberates women of color from serfdom, she equally commits them to the survival and wholeness of entire people.","PeriodicalId":391338,"journal":{"name":"Women in French Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126121749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores ways that gender is a factor in both her trauma and her road to recovery. Gender figures importantly as one of the reasons for her imprisonment as she involves herself with a women's movement in defiance of the patriarchal order of her society. Gender also plays a role in the traumatic nature of her abuse at the hands of her captors. Drawing on feminist articulations of resilience theory in such works as Feminist Rhetorical Resilience by Elizabeth A. Flynn, Patricia Sotirin, and Ann Brady, our analysis follows Anne in her struggle to overcome her past and to cope with her present, emphasizing the distinctive ways in which resilience is inflected by women's experiences. Finally, not all feminists have viewed resilience theory as having entirely positive implications for women. With this in mind, the narrative will also be examined to show how such critiques of resilience play out within the context of the recovery that Amba Bongo constructs for her protagonist.","PeriodicalId":391338,"journal":{"name":"Women in French Studies","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114266750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

La femme et le droit au plaisir 女人和快乐的权利

En opposant Hélène à Pénélope, Homère a fixé la manière dont la femme doit gérer ses désirs, pour ne pas dire son corps. Aussitôt qu'elle cède à la tentation des plaisirs extra-conjugaux, la femme cause la ruine de la société, alors que la fidélité conjugale constitue pour elle et pour toute la société une source d'équilibre et de paix. Ainsi, le plaisir, naturel chez l'homme, est prohibé chez la femme. Son plaisir à elle doit se limiter à celui d'accomplir la volonté de son père ou de son mari, même si celle-ci va à l'encontre de la sienne. Cet essai montre comment les écrivaines congolaises déconstruisent cette image de la femme indigne dès qu'elle écoute son corps pour légitimer au contraire ses désirs, pour les sortir du cadre de la culpabilité. L'étude prend appui sur quatre oeuvres: les romans Nika l'Africaine d'Aurore Costa, Homme et femme Dieu les créa de Marie-Louise Abia, L'Or des femmes de Mambou Aimée Gnali, ainsi que la nouvelle « L'Ekôbà et le fruit de la liberté », tirée du recueil Makandal dans mon sang d'Alfoncine Nyélénga Bouya. Cette étude se veut également une introduction à la littérature congolaise.","PeriodicalId":391338,"journal":{"name":"Women in French Studies","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127519554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
