| description | Assia Djebar’s literary work is based on a dichotomy of space that reflects
the gender segregation in Muslim society where women are confined to the
domestic space while men occupy the public space. By analyzing Djebar’s
autobiographical novel Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade (1985), we aim to
consider the male-female binary opposition and its migration to a hybrid space
centered on the French language – the language of the former colonizer. This
generates what the author calls her androgynous state representing, in a Platonic
sense, the union of masculine and feminine. Djebar argues that the French
language allows her to cross the line that separates the sexes in Muslim society.
Thus, this type of writing that refuses bipolarity generates a linguistic
wandering characterized by plurality and movement. |
