Benjamin Stora And R. H. Mitsch - Women's Writing Between Two Algerian Wars - Re
Article by Benjamin Stora and R. H. Mitsch in Research in african literature 303.
http://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/research_in_african_literatures/v030/30.3stora

Extractions: Research in African Literatures Women's Writing between Two Algerian Wars Benjamin Stora Women in warthe subject is somber, cruel, difficult. Images of abductions, rapes, and imprisonments immediately come to mind. This paper focuses on the troubles inflicted upon women during the two conflicts that have bloodied Algeria's territory in this second half of the twentieth century. In both the colonial war against France (1954-62) and the current struggle among Algerians (openly begun in 1992), women have experienced this male violence through wars conducted by men. This historical study will evoke the state of violence inflicted by the masculine upon the feminine. But it will also discuss the women's war, their engagement and status on the front lines, the possible exchanges of viewpoints between camps, as well as the effects of fearsome memories on attitudes toward these conflicts. [End Page 78] Thus, Algeria today is unique as the country where the violence is the most atrocious as well as the country where the presence of women is so much behind as well as at the forefront of the conflict. In which Muslim Arab country of the world is it possible to find at the same time a woman who is a director of a major newspaper (Salima Ghezali), a head of a political party (Louisa Hannoune), a proponent of secularization (Khalida Messaoudi), an internationally known writer (Assia Djebar)? In yesterday's and today's tragedies, these very different figures speak hope for a wounded society. The routes taken by these women, so diverse in their positions, including alliance with or defiance against the regime and the Islamists, are a sign of a political pluralism, and they especially signal women's coming out, their occupation of public space.

Extractions: African literature African literature, literary works of the African continent. African literature consists of a body of work in different languages and various genres, ranging from oral literature to literature written in colonial languages (French, Portuguese, and English). See also African languages South African literature Oral literature, including stories, dramas, riddles, histories, myths, songs, proverbs, and other expressions, is frequently employed to educate and entertain children. Oral histories, myths, and proverbs additionally serve to remind whole communities of their ancestors' heroic deeds, their past, and the precedents for their customs and traditions. Essential to oral literature is a concern for presentation and oratory. Folktale tellers use call-response techniques. A griot (praise singer) will accompany a narrative with music. Some of the first African writings to gain attention in the West were the poignant slave narratives, such as

Storytelling

http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/afrstory.htm

Extractions: Leslie Marmon Silko, epigraph to Ceremony Africans revere good stories and storytellers, as do most peoples around the world who are rooted in oral cultures and traditions. Ancient writing traditions do exist on the African continent, but most Africans today, as in the past, are primarily oral peoples, and their art forms are oral rather than literary. In contrast to written "literature," African "orature" (to use Kenyan novelist and critic Ngugi wa Thiong’o's phrase) is orally composed and transmitted, and often created to be verbally and communally performed as an integral part of dance and music. The Oral Arts of Africa are rich and varied, developing with the beginnings of African cultures, and they remain living traditions that continue to evolve and flourish today.
