Transcending Borders: A Comparative Feminist Analysis Of Assia Djebar And Virginia Woolf's Literary Strategies And Representations Of Women's Experiences.

Résumé: Abstract This article conducts an interdisciplinary feminist investigation of Assia Djebar and Virginia Woolf's literary legacies, both pivotal authors of the 20th century noted for challenging stereotypical gender narratives through their inventive narrative techniques. Originating from divergent cultural and historical contexts, Djebar's incursion into postcolonial narratives and Woolf's examination of women's internal worlds and social expectations both resist prevailing narratives, proposing alternate renderings of women's lives. In this research, we contrast Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse with Djebar's Women of Algiers in Their Apartment and Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade. Our goal is to discern their distinct narrative methods in confronting history, gender, and language. Notably, this article explores their singular tactics for representing feminine subjectivity, leveraging narrative methods to defy oppressive discourses, and advocating for gender identity. An integrated analysis of their works offers a deeper comprehension of the intricacies in their depictions of women's lives and identities. This comparative examination enriches feminist and postcolonial literary studies by highlighting the global obstacles faced by women across cultural and historical spectra.
