dc.description.abstract |
This thesis is concerned with the later novels of Dacia Maraini and with establishing the nature of her feminist perspective. All the novels beginning from Donna in guerra are examined in chronological order with the aim of examining the strategies she devises to tell stories for women that are different from those traditionally told. To conduct my analysis I have read contemporary feminist theory through these novels. I have used those theorists who rework specific areas of psychoanalytic and narrative theory to allow for and explore an area of female experience that has never found representation in the cultural story. The problem of representing a previously unacknowledged area of experience is addressed in my chapter on Donna in guerra where I examine the strategy of dislocation worked out in this novel which allows for the presence of material excluded from cultural representational practices. In my chapters on Lettere a Marina and storia di piera I examine a strategy for the utilization of the unrepresented feminine through a focus on the relationship between women and the possibility it allows for the formation of an alternative to the traditional female identity. My chapters on 11 treno per Helsinki and Isolina explore the issues of the representation of this alternative identity for women through the language and institutions of a culture designed for men and their perceptions. |
