The dialogue between image and text in Riana Scheepers's Dulle Griet This article examines the way in which the content and theme of Riana Scheepers’s Dulle Griet (1991) interact with the “manneplot” (traditional and/or stereotypical portrayal of female characters within novels) and with the cover illustration of the book – a detail of “Mad Meg” (as she is often referred to) from Pieter Brueghel’s Dulle Griet (1562). It explores how the women in Scheepers’s short stories are portrayed – not only as vulnerable, but also as evil and corrupt. They are abused victims; but they are also tyrannical abusers. They are innocent maidens and mothers, but also lovers, prostitutes, lesbians and murderers. The way in which the gradual degeneration of the anonymous central female character relates to Brueghel’s image of “Mad Meg” on her way to the jaws of hell is discussed in this article. But the article also demontrates Scheepers’s concern with feminist issues by using the cover as an ironic “frame”, and shows that the moral decline of the women portrayed in the text seems to be as a result of the actions of chauvinistic men, who appear in different forms throughout the text. Female degeneracy can thus be seen as a survival mechanism, in a world – and a text – dominated by the masculine paradigm, the “manneplot” of traditional male attitudes to women.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini menampilkan posisi tokoh perempuan pada tiga cerpen karya pengarang Kalimantan Timur pada tahun 1980-an. Ketiga cerpen tersebut berjudul ”Perkawinan”, ”Buah Hati”, dan ”Luka Cinta” . Pada cerpen-cerpen tersebut posisi perempuan berada di tengah-tengah budaya patriarki. Kondisi itu menyebabkan perempuan mengadakan perlawanan dengan pola berbeda-beda. Perlawanan perempuan menimbulkan konflik identitas pada perempuan. Dengan teori feminisme, penelitian ini menganalisis sebab dan akibat tokoh perempuan mengalami konflik identitas.  Bentuk-bentuk konflik identitas yang dialami tokoh perempuan juga akan dianalisis. Relasi tokoh perempuan dengan tokoh-tokoh lain dengan demikian juga akan dianalisis lebih lanjut. Tokoh-tokoh tersebut meliputi tokoh-tokoh yang menjadi ikon patriarki dan tokoh-tokoh yang mendukung tokoh perempuan untuk melakukan perlawanan.  Analisis menunjukkan konflik identitas yang terjadi pada perempuan disebabkan patriarki yang secara terus menerus melakukan upaya agar perempuan merasa melakukan kesalahan apabila perlawanan tersebut berhasil. Analisis juga menunjukkan kondisi tersebut disebabkan pula oleh tidak kuatnya pertahanan perempuan untuk memilih identitasnya. Cerpen-cerpen Kalimantan Timur tahun 1980-an menunjukkan pergulatan perempuan dalam memilih identitasnya. Kata kunci: perempuan, identitas, patriarki Abstract:This paper presents the position of female characters in three East Kalimantan short stories   in the 1980s. The three short stories are "Marriage", "Baby", and "Luka Cinta". In these short stories, women are in patriarchal culture. This condition makes women deal with their condition differently. Women’s resistance creates identity conflicts. Using the theory of feminism, this study analyzes the the forms, causes, and effects of the conflicts and also  the connection between female character and the others, including patriarchal icons and others who support women to fight back. The analysis shows that identity conflicts are caused by patriarchy that continuously make women feel wrong if their struggle is successful and also caused by women's lack of strength in their struggling to choose their identity. East Kalimantan short stories in 1980s show women’s struggle in choosing their identity. Keywords: women, identity, patriarchy

The aim of this article is to reclassify Setswana short stories according to their treatment of female characters. Critics such as Ranamane have classified Setswana literary works according to year of publication, without giving any valid reasons for this type of classification. This article, focusing on the development of the characterisation of women in Setswana short stories, classifies stories based on three periods, namely the phase of womanism, the experimental phase and the phase of feminism. In the phase of womanism, the outstanding features of characterisation of females include oppression and illtreatment, discrimination and segregation, ignorance, physical violence against females and limitation of the role of women to caring for the extended family. In the experimental phase, features include liberation of a female character, freedom of the whole society, agreement on marriage and working together as a team to solve the problems of society. The phase of feminism is identified by features of characterisation of females such as eradication of oppression, the fight for equality between women and men, removal of segregation and discrimination and also change across the whole of society.

This paper compares between the voices of three old women characters in three short stories by two Arab women writers. The stories are Ahdaf Soueif’s “Her Man” and “The Wedding of Zeina” (from the same story collection Aisha) and Alifa Rifaat’s “Bahiyya’s Eyes” from her story collection Distant View of a Minaret. The paper reveals, from a feminist perspective, how the women characters are positively or negatively influenced by the way patriarchy perceives them and relates this perception to Jacque Lacan’s theory of the gaze. It also shows how each one of the old women characters seeks to pass her understanding to the upcoming generation and demonstrates how her voice turns out to be either one of patriarchy or resistance. The paper finds that although the voices of the three old women in the three short stories differ in their representation, they can be placed in the same boat as the female character who listens to the old woman’s voice does not act passively in any of them.

The Subject

This paper analyses Freud's concept of Das Unheimliche used to describe a strange proximity between the known and the unknown, whether as something acquainted represents itself with an extraneous shape or as something extraneous discovers an element of intimacy in itself. Freud inaugurated this concept in the text Das Unheimliche in 1919 referring to cases in which the subject in relation to objects or events has feelings that range from usual closeness to the point of utter automated perception, when an object or event appears strange. The automatism of repetition is only one of manifestations of Das Unheimliche. Freud wrote this text responding to the text by Ernest Jentsch's "On the Psychology of Des Unheimlichen" ("Uber die Psychologie des Unheimlichen") from 1906 arguing on the importance and significance of the doll Olympia in Hoffmann's story "The Sandman". The position of Olympia - whether she was seen as alive or as a machine - remained the main issue in late discussions of various authors. Therefore, Das Unheimliche and women are very closely related, not only because the concept is based on the female character of Olympia from the story, but also because Freud himself emphasized the Das Unheimliche character of the female body. The paper discusses the relation between Das Unheimliche and women, and reconsiders the relation between Das Unheimliche aspects of female characters in The Tales o f Hoffmann. Short stories "The Sandman", "Councillor Krespel" and "A New Year's Eve Adventure" were also chosen by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré for the opera "Tales of Hoffmann" by Jacques Offenbach, in which the leading roles of Stela, Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta are in fact one woman who takes a variety of forms.

The emergence of fields of study like emotionology, affective narratology, and psychonarratology in recent decades evidences a dramatic rise in research done on the meaning and interpretation of emotions. Affective Narratology as one of the recent fields in emotion studies attempts to identify and account for the figuration of emotions in works of literature. Focusing on three basic emotions (shame, jealousy and love) figuring in Alice Munro’s selected short stories this paper probes the significance of emotional registers in the writer's depiction of daily life. Examined is the way the stories' sincere tone and their comprehensible, ordinary language, contribute to the emotional identification of readers with characters. Applying affective narratological theories, the objective is to show how emotions contribute to plot development and characterization in these stories. Central to the analysis is interpreting emotional moments experienced by characters, especially female characters

The way that diversity, equity, and inclusion impact scientific careers varies for everyone, but it is evident that institutions providing an environment where being different or having differences creates a sense of being welcomed, supported, and valued are beneficial to the scientific community at large. In this commentary, three short stories from Texas-based microbiologists are used to depict (i) the importance of bringing the guiding principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion within their professional roles, (ii) the need to apply and translate those principles to support and enable successful scientific careers among peers and trainees, and (iii) the impact of effective science communication to increase the understanding of microbial environments among the community at large.
