Writing the Feminine Desire in Maissa Bey's Nulle autre Voix \2018\
2023
Overview
The present paper is intended to investigate the issue of \"Feminine Desire\" in Algerian Women Literature by revisiting Maissa Bey's last novel, Nulle Autre voix (2018). The main objective is to foreground the multifaceted issue of feminine desire, which has greatly fascinated philosophers and literary theorists. Throughout a textual analysis of the novel, it will be argued that the notion of \"Feminine Desire\" is basically related to the constitution of a feminine subject in relation to kinship and social norms. Central to this analysis of the novel is the representation of a link between the feminine subject and the social norms within a particular a specific Algerian historical and cultural environment, which produced them. The analysis is based on the theoretical underpinnings provided in Judith Butler's recent reflections developed in her Gender Trouble (1990) and Undoing Gender (2004). The task is to examine how Maissa Bey uses her last novel as a medium with a liberating force to champion the cause of women in the Algerian society. The author calls for a self-definition and a reconstruction of the Algerian woman, new perspectives in articulating difference, an inventive way of using language, a strong sociopolitical commitment within a feminist perspective. These are some of the salient features that her Nulle Autre Voix particularly and powerfully suggests.
