Abstract (sommario):
The present article analyzes Morrison's novels with emphasis on the conflicted emotions of fictional African-American mothers in relation to their children. Of special interest is Morrison's depiction of the mother's role in shaping the individuation process of her daughters in a matriarchal, father-absent context. Also examined is Morrison's treatment of intergenerational continuity and the unique role of the grandmother against a background of social change. Such change is interpreted by Morrison as involving conflict between the norms of traditional, rural, folkloric black culture, and the pressures of mainstream American society. Morrison's fiction, taken as a whole, is viewed as illustrating the key role of the African-American mother in maintaining survival strategies developed by black women historically. The fate of black men in Morrison's fictional universe is also considered, along with pertinent implications for understanding African-American patterns of socialization in the broadest sense.

Abstract (sommario):
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sefi Atta and Lola Shoneyin are undoubtedly three of the most celebrated feminist novelists in the contemporary Nigerian literature. These three women-writers have one thing in common – each has written at least a novel in which she employs the usual problematic relations between a mother figure and a daughter as a means of exploring feminism – inflected issues such as identity-construction, subjecthood, and patriarchy, etc. I am making reference to Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun, Atta’s Everything Good Will Come and Shoneyin’s The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives. These novelists thematize in various ways albeit unconsciously the Electra complex. This paper argues that it seems something of a paradox that these women – novelists in engaging in feminist critiques of patriarchy, should to some extent appear to do so through the agency of the difficult relationship between a mother-figure and a daughter even when no psychological exploration in the delineation of these characters appears to be intended in these novels. The paper aims to draw attention to each of these writers’ representation of certain aspects of the relations between the female protagonist of their respective novels, who appears to embody the novelist’s feminist values, and her parents, especially to the uneasy tensions that seem to exist between them. Keywords: Patriarchy, Feminism, The Electra Complex, The Symbolic Realm, The Unconscious

Abstract (sommario):
The paper intends to reread Jamaica Kincaid’s short story, ‘Girl’ (1978) and provide new insights into its understanding. It aims to analyse the poetic qualities, word choice, and structure of the text that are left not fully discussed by recent scholarship. The structure as well as the poetic language of ‘Girl’ make it an unconventional piece of writing falling between two literary categories and so hard to classify. ‘Girl’ apparently violates rules and transgresses conventions by being both poetic and going beyond the traditional fictional structure of a short story. The paper argues that ‘Girl’ is an unconventional piece of literature that crosses the borders of a short story to poetry. First, it obviously lacks the traditional structure to be classified as a short story. Second, the text embraces several poetic techniques which reveal it as poetry written in prose. Therefore, the paper purports to carefully consider the poetic techniques and rhetorical devices found in ‘Girl’ and make it much closer to a prose poem than a short story. The story depicts a pre-adolescent female being dictated by the instructions of a sharp-tongued mother who teaches her how to become a lady- both in the private setting of the house as well as in public- in contrast to what it is like for a woman growing up in Antigua. The paper’s considerations of Kincaid’s depictions of mother, daughter, and their relationship illuminate the poetic traits found including repetition, sound devices and word choice. The paper’s interpretation of ‘Girl’ reveals its poetic nature for being thoroughly repetitive and alliterative piece. The text’s repetitive quality does not only stimulate the reader’s intellectual appreciation of the text’s thematic notions and meanings but also promotes an overall unifying effect.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This article focuses on Italian Holocaust testimonies written by three female survivor-writers—Edith Bruck, Liana Millu, and Giuliana Tedeschi. It considers how these authors use diverse literary forms to represent the experiences of mothers and daughters in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Key passages in Tedeschi's survivor memoir C’è un punto della terra show the extent to which her experience was shaped by her separation from her children, and by feelings of maternal longing. Millu's autobiographical story collection Il fumo di Birkenau deftly employs the imaginative techniques of fiction to represent maternal nurturing and sacrifice. In these stories, the brutal lack of solidarity inside the camp is balanced by depictions of sisterly and motherly care among the female prisoners. Hungarian-born Bruck feels unable to recount her Holocaust memories in her mother tongue, even though much of what she has written is either for or to her mother. One such work is Lettera alla madre, a deeply affecting autobiographical novel that takes the form of an undeliverable letter. The text focuses on the unresolved relationship between the survivor-daughter and her mother, who was gassed on the day they arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Abstract (sommario):
The current study examines how women’s roles have changed in Indian society through an analysis of Manju Kapur’s Difficult Daughters (1998), Home (2006) The Immigrant (2009), and literary works. This paper analyzes the quest for feminine identity and the struggle for change in the female protagonists in the select works. Her fiction projects raise feminist concerns and feminist issues. In Indian tradition goddesses like Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Durga are worshipped in every household. Thus, the women are expected to have goddess-like characteristics to escape the scrutiny of critical eyes and feel trapped by such mundane situations. The prime objective behind the feminist movement was to change the destiny of women and make them realize that the time has come when they stop suffering silently in helplessness. Women in Indian society have never been recognized as persons apart from their assigned duties as mothers, wives, and daughters. The female protagonists of Kapur, Nina (The Immigrant), Virmati (The Difficult Daughters), and Nisha (Home) attempt to break away from the dependence syndrome that patriarchal agents have imposed upon them. The current study centers on the female protagonists’ quest for uniqueness and self-identity and avoids being perceived as self-sacrificing rubber dolls. They must struggle for their existence, which has been going on for centuries and will probably continue for a long time.

Abstract (sommario):
This article explores how George Eliot shows fathers in domestic life in her fiction by focusing on the core components of Victorian fatherhood named by Claudia Nelson, that is, “authority, guidance and financial support.” In the 19th century Britain, fathers were having privileges of ownership and authority while mothers were confined to nurturing and comforting in domestic life. Most of the researchers on fathers in Eliot’s novels have tried to analyze the father-daughter conflicted relationship from a psychological, or Freudian, perspective. Alternatively, this study by drawing upon the theories of Lucian Goldmann and Alan Swingwood, focuses on the representation of fatherhood by Eliot with the help of comprehensive and interdisciplinary supporting literary, social, and historical resources from the Victorian age. The article argues that Eliot brings up the problems of patriarchy and authority of fathers of the transitional period of the 19th century. Eliot emphasizes that fathers are actually aware of their responsibilities even if they are not always able to carry them out completely. In middle class families, the failure or success of the father as head of the family has a deep impact on the other members of the home. The article concludes that by showing weaknesses, Eliot actually yearns and desires for the perfect father and admires the “intimacy” of “rare manly fathers” of the 19th century. Thus, Eliot idealizes future where individuals recognize and fulfill their duties and avow social and familial bonds.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Eva Hoffman, known primarily for her autobiography of exile, Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language (1989), is also the author of a work of Gothic science fiction, set in the future. The Secret: A Fable for our Time (2001) is narrated by a human clone, whose discovery that she is the “monstrous” cloned offspring of a single mother emerges with growing discomfort at the uncanny similarities and tight bonds between her and her mother. This article places Hoffman’s use of the uncanny in relation to her understanding of Holocaust history and the condition of the postmemory generation. Relying on Freud’s definition of the uncanny as being “both very alien and deeply familiar,” she insists that “the second generation has grown up with the uncanny.” In The Secret, growing up with the uncanny leads to matrophobia, a strong dread of becoming one’s mother. This article draws on theoretical work by Adrienne Rich and Deborah D. Rogers to argue that the novel brings to “the matrophobic Gothic” specific insights into the uncanniness of second-generation experiences of kinship, particularly kinship between survivor mothers and their daughters.

Abstract (sommario):
This project consisted of a series of short stories which worked together creating a larger fictional piece in the form of a non-continuous narrative. This non-continuous narrative is in the tradition of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, and Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine. The stories in this type of fiction are connected by similar themes and settings, allowing the reader to participate directly in the creative process. The reader helps create the fiction by drawing his or her own conclusions about the characters and places from between the individual stories. By involving the reader more directly in the outcome, this type of narrative creates a more emotional response to the work. Each of the stories in this project were set in a town called Sand Beach, Michigan, and involved four generations of women in a single family. The major themes of the stories were mother/daughter relationships, healing, and redemption. Common images in the stories presented were, Lake Huron, the town of Sand Beach, and a rock in the local region bearing Native American petroglyphs Each of these images participated in the development of the common themes.

Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation examines mother-daughter relationships in six novels written by German speaking women authors in the decade after the "Year of the Woman." Three novels depict positive mother-daughter relations: Ausflug mit der Mutter (1976), by Gabriele Wohmann, Gestern war Heute (1979), by Ingeborg Drewitz, Die dreizehnte Fee (1983), by Katja Behrens. Three others portray a negative mother-daughter relationship: Die Eisheiligen (1979), by Helga Novak, Die Zuchtigung (1985), by Waltraud Anna Mitgutsch, and Die Klavierspielerin (1983), by Elfriede Jelinek. Common to all novels is a strong autobiographical tendency and the central importance of the mother in the development of the daughter's self-identity.
The complexity and problems of mother-daughter relationships are analyzed as an outcome of female socialization within a patriarchal society. Chapter I deals with historical, economic and psychological oppression of women. The resulting internalization of the role of inferiority and dependency leads to the subsequent repression of their own daughters. Chapter II discusses new contributions in the fields of psychology and sociology to the understanding of female identity formation through relationships. Chapter III provides a two-pronged analysis of each novel by describing the individual mother-daughter relationship in comparison with the outcomes of Chapters I and II, and by addressing the narrator's process of putting the experience into a unique literary form and thus contributing to women's literature.
Themes that are unique in each novel are: the emotional stress of the adult daughter trying to redefine her relationship with her widowed mother (Ausflug mit der Mutter), the dichotomy of woman in her nurturing role as mother and in her quest for self-realization (Gestern war Heute), the difficulty of breaking the repetitive cycle of the female role of dependency (Die dreizehnte Fee). All of the following novels assess the damaged self-identity of the daughter caused by a destructive mother. While the daughters survive due to fierce resistance (Die Eisheiligen) or escape into the world of art (Die Zuchtigung) there is no hope for the daughter in Die Klavierspielerin due to her identification with the oppressor.

Abstract (sommario):
Fiction: Alice. Exegesis: The Mother-Daughter Relationship in Lives of Girls and Women. This thesis consists of a creative fiction component, Alice, and an exegesis that is a literary analysis of the mother-daughter relationship in Alice Munro’s Lives of Girls and Women. Alice is a collection of nine short stories that looks at both the mother and daughter’s perspective of their relationship. The location is Crookwell, a small country town in New South Wales, set in the period following World War II until the 1970s. The exegesis examines the representation of conflictual patterns in the mother-daughter relationship – in Lives of Girls and Women – at a time and within a society that is on the cusp of change. It also examines the unconscious influence of the Second Wave feminist movement on Munro’s thinking. Like many regions of rural Australia, there appears to be no fiction set specifically in the Crookwell district. In a fashion similar to Munro, in Alice I seek to illuminate a bygone period and lifestyle. The short story cycle allows me to depict glimpses of ordinary everyday life and to capture attitudes within the community that influence the mother-daughter relationship of the central characters. Of special significance is the effect of organised religion and its influence on motherhood. Munro describes a community that enforces the ‘institute of motherhood,’ as described by Adrienne Rich (1995), the structured concepts demanded of men and women in the 1940s and 1950s, and the subsequent tensions that emerge between mother and daughter as an apparent consequence of these social expectations. The exegesis examines why Munro’s presentation of the mother-daughter relationship in Lives of Girls and Women is still relevant, and argues that, regardless of the social, cultural and contextual forces that moderate this relationship, there remains an ongoing primal tension between mother and daughter as the daughter seeks to differentiate herself and the mother struggles to be heard. By setting Alice in the Australian rural community of Crookwell, between the 1950s and 1970s, I seek to similarly explore the particular attitudes and tensions that arise for mothers and daughters away from the major cities. It is a theme that has been largely neglected in Australian literature to date.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractThe mother-daughter relationship has long been a focus in writing by women, and many female authors have sought to explore the close and sometimes complex connections between mothers and daughters. However, as Marianne Hirsch has argued, the stories of mothers are all too often presented from the point of view of their daughters, so that the maternal perspective tends to be absent from literature. This chapter compares the presentation of the mother-daughter relationship in two novels by contemporary Swiss writers, Zoë Jenny’s The Pollen Room (1997) and Ruth Schweikert’s Augen zu [Close Your Eyes] (1998). Both texts feature mothers who struggle to cope with the demands of their daily lives and the responsibility of the maternal role and daughters who can neither understand their mothers’ suffering nor accept their difference. While both novels point to the difficulty of retaining one’s subjectivity as mother, I argue that Schweikert’s novel offers a more nuanced and potentially more productive portrayal of the complexities of maternal identity. In particular, through her use of a polyphonic narrative structure that gives equal weight to maternal and filial perspectives, Schweikert answers Hirsch’s call for a “double voice” that offers a way forward for women’s writing.

Abstract (sommario):
This Introduction formulates the postcolonial-psychoanalytic feminist theory of matria, an imagined maternal space and time, through reading fictions of history written by and about Caribbean women. It reconceptualizes matria as an imagined maternal space and time that (re)unites Caribbean mothers with daughters. The tripartite introduction opens with the section, “Matri(a)lineage,” which revisits Sigmund Freud’s theory of mothers and daughters in the Oedipal complex and traces matria’s feminist psychoanalytic and (post)colonial feminist literary roots. The following section, “Mother-(Is)lands: Daughters Fictionalize the Past,” explicates matria, as a Caribbean maternal space and time, in relation to historical fiction and history. Lastly, “Volcanic Daughters: Matria Redux,” provides an overview of the book’s structure and the pre- and post-millennium novels selected for close-reading.

Huang Hui-chen’s documentary Small Talk (2016) and Lisa Zi Xiang’s fiction feature A Dog Barking at the Moon (2019) explore women’s sexuality from the points of view of adult heterosexual daughters of lesbian mothers. These films provide a glimpse beyond compulsory heterosexuality and motherhood in mainland China and Taiwan by reflecting on how daughters look at their lesbian mothers and the reciprocal quality of the gaze across the gay-straight divide. Through a comparison of these two films, the nuances of queer regimes of visualizing sexuality within the family come to the surface in the distinct geopolitical contexts of mainland China and Taiwan.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract In The 1972 Review “A Private Apprenticeship,” Gordimer focused on Carson McCullers’s obsessive concern with adolescence in her journals and novels. Gordimer’s own “private apprenticeship” shows a preoccupation as great as her subject’s; Gordimer can accurately be termed, to vary a phrase she applied to McCullers, “the high priestess of childhood.” As Gordimer told Lionel Abrahams in the late 1950s, “the ways of seeing we acquire in our youth remain with us always.”1 In her fiction those ways of seeing are determined, above all else, by unusually possessive mothers. Gordimer’s “strange childhood” provides a clear motivation for this focus, yet her novels by themselves reveal her obsessive concern with domineering mothers and the resulting resentment and sense of powerlessness of their children. Gordimer deals with such relationships most concertedly in The Lying Days, Occasion for Loving, and Burger’s Daughter, which form an extended Bildungsroman centering on the attempts of daughters to break free of their mothers’ power and establish lives of their own. But with the exception of A World of Strangers, whose protagonist can scarcely be said to have a private life, all of Gordimer’s novels show her returning, again and again, to such strange childhoods as her own.
