The female body in the postcolonial literature: a comparative study of Assia Djebar's women of Algiers in their apartment and field work in ukrainian sex of Oksana Zabuzhko

Abstract EN

This article deals with the issue of writing the female body by two famous postcolonial feminist female writers; the Algerian Assia Djebar in her text Women of Algiers in their Apartment and the Ukrainian Oksana Zabuzhko in her Field Work in Ukrainian Sex.

Depending on a comparative study as well as a discourse analysis of both targeted texts, it is certainly concluded that the postcolonial woman suffered from a lot of pressure by both the colonizer and the colonized man, the fact which made her body at stake.

Thanks to both Djebar and Zabuzhko, their females could finally manage to break their way out of their bodies.
