Reading Iraqi Women’s Novels in English Translation: Iraqi Women’s Stories: Focus on Global Gender and Sexuality
Autor Ruth Abou Racheden Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 oct 2020
The writers in focus are Samira Al-Mana, Daizy Al-Amir, Inaam Kachachi, Betool Khedairi, Alia Mamdouh and Hadiya Hussein, whose novels include themes of exile, war, occupation, class, rurality and storytelling as cultural survival. Using perspectives of feminist translation to examine how Iraqi women’s story-making has been mediated in English translation across differing times and locations, this book is the first to explore how Iraqi women’s literature calls for new theoretical engagements and why this literature often interrogates and diversifies many literary theories’ geopolitical scope.
This book will be of great interest for researchers in Arabic literature, women’s literature, translation studies and women and gender studies.

Recenzii
"It is a valuable read for scholars of translation studies, Arabic literature (especially Iraqi women’s literature), and women and gender studies—among others. In short, Abou Rached is on the pulse of contemporary Iraqi women’s writing in translation and achieves the purpose she has set out for: to provide a focused overview and encourage further research." - International Journal of Middle East Studies
"... this incisive study sets an excellent example of the productive ways “para/translatory politics” can be engaged with in literary studies. Its prioritization of close readings is particularly commendable, guiding readers through the mechanics and challenges of translation in forensic detail. As it lingers in these intricacies, it offers a much-needed intervention when a growing number of texts by Iraqi authors are circulating in translation." - Middle Eastern Literatures

Descriere
