Las críticas marroquíes en el <em>yermo</em>: ¿nuevas herramientas para la teoría literaria?

Abstract

Since the end of the 20^th century a new critical project led by women has been underway in Morocco, focused on the literary production of women writers from Morocco and other parts of the Arab world. It is a true gynocritical project that establishes an intellectual dialogue with the North American researcher Elaine Showalter, who coined the term gynocritics in 1981 in reference to a new framework for studying literature produced by women. This paper looks at the extent to which Moroccan gynocriticism has provided new tools for criticism and literary studies, as the emergence of this phenomenon has altered the terms of debate regarding women‟s writing in Morocco. In their analyses, female Moroccan critics address women‟s writing from new perspectives, defending the recognition of women writers and their acceptance within the Moroccan literary canon.
