Este trabajo que se enmarca en los estudios sobre literatura femenina de origen magrebí (literatura beur, literatura francófona femenina y su recepción) explora el imaginario femenino de femme issue de l’immigration construido por escritoras francesas contemporáneas y de finales del XX. En él se analiza la construcción identitaria de la mujer de origen norteafricano a través de sus narraciones y de su expresión: escritura autobiográfica, usos particulares de la lengua francesa (argot y oralidad), los espacios privado y público, posicionamientos de sus protagonistas (aceptación, fingimiento, huida o desarraigo) a través de las cuales las autoras vehiculan sus denuncias. Cierra el estudio una valoración del reconocimiento editorial y la recepción de esta literatura por parte de la crítica. This work explores the female imagery of Franco-Maghrebi women writers who published their works in the 1980s and 1990s and those who came after. It analyses the identity construction of a group marked by ethnic duality through their expression and their narratives in which they stake their claims: autobiographical writing, particular uses of the French language (slang and orality), the private and public spaces and the stances of their protagonists (acceptance, pretense, flight or uprooting). The study ends with an assessment of the editorial recognition and reception of this literature by critics. Cette étude explore l'imaginaire féminin des écrivaines Franco-Maghrébines qui ont publié leurs œuvres dans les années 1980-1990 et de leurs continuatrices. Elle analyse la construction identitaire d’un collectif marqué par la dualité ethnique à travers son expression et ses récits, où les écrivaines véhiculent leurs dénonciations : autobiographie, usage particulier de la langue française (argot et oralité), espaces privés et publics et les positions de leurs protagonistes (acceptation, faux-semblant, fuite ou déracinement). L'étude comprend une évaluation de la reconnaissance éditoriale et de la réception de cette littérature par la critique.

And Storage

This study focuses on the internal layout of premises of UKs day care unit for older people, including possible combinations of rooms and spaces, access and circulation. All day units require a minimum of a dining/activity space, a kitchen, (a) toilet (s) and storage space, these rooms and spaces are combined into the basic type of premises. Depending on the aims of the unit, the number of places provided, and users' needs, many of the disadvantages associated with basic premises can be overcome if the premises have extra spaces. From the above analysis we can see that, in existing day unit premises, the number and type of rooms and spaces and how they are grouped together vary considerably, ranging from simple to complex arrangements. Also, the relationships between rooms and spaces in layouts for all day unit premises need to be pondered over, including distances between key rooms/spaces, the relative location of spaces in terms of their functions, the relationship between private and public spaces and the views within and between rooms, and from external windows. In addition, access and circulation of a day unit need to be considered carefully, including access to the day unit premises and the reception space and internal circulation.

Sociopolitical Issues

Postcolonial and diaspora studies scholars and critics have paid increasing attention to the use of metaphors of food, eating, digestion, and various affiliated actions such as loss of appetite, indigestion, and regurgitation. As such stylistic devices proliferated in the works of non-Western women writers, scholars connected metaphors of eating and consumption to colonial and imperial domination. This book concentrates on the gendered and sexualized dimensions of these visceral metaphors of consumption in works by women writers from Haiti, Jamaica, Mauritius, and elsewhere. Employing theoretical analysis and insightful readings of English- and French-language texts, the book explores the prominence of alimentary-related tropes and their relationship to sexual consumption, writing, global geopolitics and economic dynamics, and migration. As the book shows, the use of cannibalism in particular as a central motif opens up privileged modes for mediating historical and sociopolitical issues. Ambitiously comparative, the book ranges across the works of well-known and lesser-known writers to tie together two geographic and cultural spaces that have much in common but are seldom studied in parallel.
