ملامح حداثيّة في "الأدب النسائيّ" المحليّ جليد الأيام والباهرة نموذجًا

Abstract

This is a comparative and demonstrative research paper. It tackles two literary forms belonging to the local Palestinian “Feminist literature” with careful scrutiny in order to focus on modern techniques employed by authors Raja’ Bakreyyeh and Fatima Dhiab.  Both authors seem to have benefited from literary modern features introduced through modern criticism. The research discusses the concept of modernism from sexual perspective which is compatible with the hypothesis which states that biological differences must lead to ideological differences.

This paper discusses the two following literary texts Jaleed Al-Ayyam and Al-Bahera.

Both texts differ in terms of genre. While the first belongs to the genre of the novella, the second belongs to that of the short story. However, they meet at certain points. We shall discuss features of style and content. Both texts have not been scrutinized academically yet, especially in terms of the concept of modernism and its characterization, which motivated the necessity of the current research
