摘要

虽然阿拉伯女性的文学作品一直受到学术界的关注,但很少有人评论小说写作是如何与她们的家庭生活相穿插的。根据2017年至2020年在开罗进行的民族志田野调查,本文探讨了小说写作作为开罗女性中年自我改造的有力手段。它认为她们对文学事业的追求是根据最近埃及文学市场对新写作公众的开放,以及女性中年转型的一部分,这是由她们从过时的性别自我版本中解放出来的。这篇文章认为,写作是一种自我照顾的具体化实践,小说为个人提供了一个“别处”,在那里他们可以逃离刻板的自我,重新想象自己的存在。

Women Writing in Cairo
Abstract While literature produced by Arab women has received sustained academic attention, little commentary exists on the way fiction writing is interspersed with their ordinary lives defined by domesticity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2017 and 2020 in Cairo, this article explores fiction writing as a powerful means of midlife self-reinvention among Cairene women. It considers their pursuit of literary careers in light of the recent opening of Egyptian literary markets to new writing publics and as part of women’s midlife transition, defined by their emancipation from outdated versions of their gendered selves. Viewing writing as an embodied practice of self-care, the article argues that fiction provides individuals with an “elsewhere” in which they can escape their rigid selves and reimagine their existence.
