The Demythification Of Sacred Discourse In Far From Medina By Assia Djebar

Auteurs : Aissani Radouane . Djeghar Acheraf .

Résumé

Assia Djebar, a central figure in Francophone literature, distinguishes herself thru original and critical reflection on religious issues. In Far from Medina, the author denounces the silences and unspoken aspects of certain religious narratives while offering a feminist rereading of Islamic history. Thus, female rituals and practices become places of resistance, where the relationship to the body serves as a tool to challenge the dominant discourse.
