摘要
非洲小说家Ngugi wa Thiong'o和Ama Ala Aidoo讲述了两位生活在全球南方的年轻非洲女性的生活故事。本文探讨了阿姆·阿塔·艾杜的《变化:一个爱情故事》中的爱西·塞吉和恩古吉·瓦·廷奥的《一粒麦子》中的蒙比的女性身体实践，以突出非洲日常生活中的性和性别政治。当她的丈夫奥科强奸她时，她与他的婚姻关系崩溃了。Mumbi在丈夫Gikonyo被拘留期间怀上了Karanja的孩子。在他被释放后，Gikonyo变成了暴力的石油木乃伊的身体。运用叙事学文本分析和辩证法;从理论上讲，本文将爱斯的身体生命置于意蕴之中;后殖民社会中女性自主性行为的困境。另一方面，对性行为的生命历程研究揭示了Mumbi的身体转变和代理提供了累积的优点和缺点。
Stories of African Women's Bodies: The Bodily Lives of ESI and Mumbi
The life stories of two young African women situated in the global South are narrated by African novelists Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Ama Ala Aidoo. This article explores the female bodily practice of Esi Sekyi in Changes: A Love Story by Am a A ta Aidoo and Mumbi in A Grain of Wheat by Ngugi wa Thiong'o in order to highlight sexual and gender politics in even;day life in Africa. Esi's ailing conjugal relations/zip with her husband Oko collapses when he rapes her. 'Mumbi gets pregnant by Karanja whilst her husband Gikonyo is in detention. Upon his release, Gikonyo becomes violent Oil Mumbi' s body. Using narratological text analysis and dialecticalliteran; theorizing, this article contextually situates Esi's bodily life to signijt; the dilemmas of women's autonomous sexuality in postcolonial societies. On the other hand, a life course approach to sexuality reveals Mumbi's bodily transitions and agency offering both cumulative advantages and disadvantages.
