Female Inferiority, Existential Representation And Heritage: A Feminist Reading Of Salmah Al Moushi'sa Jewish Saviour

Abstract

Arabic feminist narratives have taken large steps towards developing their own special narratives amidst numerous other discourses that attempt to confiscate their elements. The features constituting Arab feminist discourse have been numerous and varied, but the general direction of Arab feminist narrative themes was almost dominated by narrative stereotypes and repeated disclosures. Accordingly, this research paper adopts a non-stereotypical approach towards investigating the investment of feminist narratives in cultural potentials and the choices of experimentation. This paper stemmed from the following research problem: Have Arab women narratives been able,in some of their aspects, to represent cultural potentials and questions of experimentation in formulating their feminist discourse in a way that bridges the gap, both in form and content, between them and the overall Arab narrative? To answer this question, the study has taken A Jewish Savior (2016), a novel by the Saudi writerSalmah Al Moushi, as an applied model that examines the employment of heritage in framing female inferiority existentially through a non-stereotypical proposal both in form and content. This study has been surrounded by many pitfalls; hence, it seeks to evaluate the novel’s ability to overcome them in its capacity as a recently published feminist model. The novel will also be approached based on feminist criticism citations through the study’s three main sections: Existential representation and ideology, Polyphony and experimentation attempts, and Textual transcendence and the cognitive employment of heritage

Keywords
