This article is a feminist postcolonial reading of Assia Djebar’s short story ‘Women of Algiers in their Apartment’ ([1980] 1992). Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia), written in response to Eugene Delacroix’s painting of the same name. The article argues that Djebar’s re-imagining of Algerian women constructs their identities within the ambit of a feminist politics hinged on ideologies of women’s self-definition, subjectivity and voice. These three ideologies intersect in their articulations of women’s agency in postcolonial Algeria. Such agency is a counter-discourse to the masculinist discourse of conformity, objectification and silence which pervades Delacroix’s painting of Algerian women. Juxtaposing Djebar’s liberating narrative with Delacroix’s constricting one opens up new avenues for reading feminist postcolonial theory.

Assia Djebar 的后殖民著作:重新想象“阿尔及尔妇女在公寓”中的女性

这篇文章是对 Assia Djebar 的短篇小说“Algiers of Algiers in their Apartment”([1980] 1992)的女权主义后殖民阅读。夏洛茨维尔:弗吉尼亚大学出版社),是为了回应尤金·德拉克洛瓦的同名画作。这篇文章认为,杰巴尔对阿尔及利亚妇女的重新想象是在女权主义政治的范围内构建了她们的身份,这种政治取决于妇女的自我定义、主观性和声音的意识形态。这三种意识形态在它们对后殖民时代阿尔及利亚妇女能动性的阐述中相互交织。这种代理是对贯穿于德拉克洛瓦的阿尔及利亚女性画作中的从众、客观化和沉默的男性主义话语的反话语。将杰巴尔的解放叙事与德拉克洛瓦的狭隘叙事并置,为阅读女权主义后殖民理论开辟了新的途径。
