Descripción del proyecto
The project proposes an innovative analysis of writings by women in Morocco published between the 1970s and the 2010s that deal with prison experiences during the period known as the Years of Lead (c. 1965-1999). The project’s general objective is to analyse how Moroccan women’s prison writings contribute to incorporating women’s participation in social and political issues in accounts about Moroccan history. The texts studies will include the different genres (testimonies, poetry, letters and fiction) and languages (Arabic and French) in which they are written. The project aims at localising and analysing the different texts of this thematic published by women in Morocco between the 1970s and the 2010s. Taking a feminist perspective, this project considers that prison writings by women can constitute examples of alternative history and contribute to the reconfiguration of social memory by bringing women’s experience to the centre and claiming their role in in the movement of political prisoners as structural rather than as exceptional or secondary. In addition, the project also intends to shift Moroccan women’s position from objects to producers of discourse to challenge orientalist constructions that prevail in hegemonic cultural perspective and to break stereotyped images about the “Moroccan woman” that portray them as passive rather than as active individuals.
