Program (a ten-day visit to Ain Shams University
Faculty of Women for Art, Science and Education
English Language and Literature Department)
PART ONE
1) Presentation of Poland (45 min. followed by discussion).
PART TWO: lectures and workshops - Black American Women Writers and the
Post-Modernism of Resistance
The lectures and workshops will be presented in light of the definition of the
postmodernism of resistance, coined by Andreas Huyssen. Thomas B. Byers
recapitulates this concept thusly, “This is the postmodernism of the post-classical-
Marxist progressive Left and social justice movements. It includes critiques of
universalizing humanism, official received history, and the traditional western canon
of “dead white males.” It also includes work influenced by or compatible with
feminism, post-colonialism, critical race studies, ethnic studies, gender and queer
theory, environmentalism.”
1) “Womanism as a Manifestation of Resistance” – a lecture (60 min. followed by

30 min. discussion)
The objectives:
 To present a historical overview of the discordance and dialogue between
black and white women intellectuals and activists as the point of departure
of black women’s resistance to the mainstream feminism(s).
 To analyze the appropriateness of racial categorization in the formation of
a theoretical framework that can be utilized in examining literary works of
contemporary African American women writers
 To explore the extent of mainstream feminist influence on the discourse of
contemporary African-American women as well as the racial particularity
of that discourse
52 | P a g e
2) “Understanding Toni Morrison’s Magical Representation of History” – a
workshop (90 min.)
Magical realism, a concept coined by German painters and Latin American

writers, has made its presence known in literary studies internationally. The theory
of literary magical realism is evolving and becoming more complex since it does
not only encompass a consideration of supernatural, magical presences in the
narrative but it also entails research regarding the intricacy of literary structure,
linguistic indeterminacies, ambiguity, characteristic motifs, and postcolonial
discourse. Some literary critics have classified Toni Morrison’s writing,
particularly her novel Beloved, as magic realist. Certain characteristics of magical
realism as defined by a number of scholars appear applicable towards analyzing
Toni Morrison’s Beloved, although the novelist frequently expresses distance and
discomfort towards an overgeneralized attribution of magical realism to her
writing. In this regards, classifying Beloved as unquestionably magic realist seems
problematic. On the one hand, the novel evidences a certain congruity with the
currently emerging theories of magical realism in terms of form and content. On
the other hand, Morrison seems to subvert and redefine magic in Beloved in order
to delineate the uniqueness of the socio-political experience and cultural
expression of the often discredited African American reality. Therefore, the aim of
this workshop is to delineate Toni Morrison’s understanding of ‘magic.’
3) “Resistance is Possessing the Secret of Joy” – Self-Discovery in Alice Walker’s

The Color Purple and Possessing the Secret of Joy – a lecture (60 min. followed by
30 min. discussion)
In The Color Purple and Possessing the Secret of Joy, Alice Walker delineates the
dilemma of African American biculturalism. Through the trope of examining the
scar, the author portrays black women’s revaluation of cultural performances,
constituted by journeys from blindness to awareness, from mutilation to self-
empowerment. The exploration of two tribal rituals, female circumcision and
facial scarification, manifests the intricacy of black American womanist approach
to African culture. In The Color Purple, the character Nettie expresses conflicting
emotions towards the aforementioned practices. On one hand, she discerns the
significance of the rituals in the maintenance of tribal identity as scars left after
the removal of clitorises or after marking slits on faces signify community
inclusion. Nettie’s desire for inclusion is in part due to her resistance to Western
colonialist intrusion. On the other hand, she finds the practices tremendously
problematic, as they entail harmful, and occasionally lethal, invasion into the
human body. In Possessing the Secret of Joy, the mutilated female character’s
reexamination of her scar also offers an inspection of the African American
cultural dilemma. As a circumcised African-born American woman, she
continuously refers to the scar throughout her experiences of two spaces - African
53 | P a g e
and American. In line with this, she externalizes a double identity as Tashi and
Evelyn-Johnson. The American experience calls for critical approach to the
African practice. Therefore, the characters’ contemplations on the cultural, and
political, dimension of scarification is discussed as reflective of Alice Walker’s
attempt to reconcile two cultural, and seemingly opposing, spaces (American and
African, womanist and patriarchal, scientific and mythical) in the process of
identity formation.
4) “Womanist Internationalism and Resistance to War” – a workshop (90 min.)
The objective of this workshop is to analyze the trope of the black veteran
whereby the black American women’s writers manifest resistance to war. In
Gloria Naylor’s Bailey’s Café (1992), Alice Walker’s By the Light of My Father’s
Smile (1998), and Toni Morrison’s Home (2012), to a certain extent, the black
characters’ participation in war manifests typical warfare experiences – horror on
the battlefield, repatriation, and struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Nevertheless, the aforementioned writers envision the experience of black
veterans as other and more problematic by emphasizing the racial dimension of
the black veteran experience. This focus on racial experience corresponds with
womanist praxis. Moreover, the novels are also vehicles for expression of the
writers’ authorial voices with regard to global issues. For many decades, Walker,
Morrison, Naylor (Walker among them the most activist) have critiqued American
militarism. Their literary reconstructions of the painful internal lives of black
veterans are manifestations of the writers’ general critique of war and its
devastating consequences. In that sense, the related personal experience of their
characters is symbolic of political agency.
5) Multidimensional (de)marginalizations of Wild Zones in Gloria Naylor’s

Bailey’s Café – a workshop (90 min.)
The aim of the workshop is to ferret out presents tropes of difference in Bailey’s
Café by Gloria Naylor that draw thick lines of demarcation between the dominant
and the subjugated. The character Bailey observes, “there were rich white people,
poor white people, rich colored people – and us,” ‘us’ meaning the black poor.
Sometimes, the objects of a particular form of marginalization become subjects of
other forms of dominion, as exemplified by “white trash” fictional representatives
who make “monkey noises” in order to relegate ontologically privileged blacks to
a wild zone. Bailey also deplores the verbal anti-Japanese military indoctrination
that he was subjected to prior to his combat engagement in Asian wild zones.
Simultaneously, the characters invent a number of demarginalization strategies.
Bailey welcomes downtrodden human beings – an abused woman, a jobless
transgender man, a circumcised woman, among others. He reaches for a
marginalized idiom, the blues, to express their plight and his own. Ultimately, the
characters discover a language that focalizes their marginalized selves. For
54 | P a g e
instance, a father explains to his son thusly “I wanted their words to be babble,
whatever they printed, whatever they sent over the radio. Babble – as you learned
your own language, set your own standards, began to identify yourself as a man”
(182).
PART FREE (If time allows)
1) Race, Gender, and Class in Contemporary American Discourse – watching

John Singleton’s Movie Higher Learning (130 min followed by discussion).
