Abstract

The article analyzes the representation of écriture féminine in Ken Bugul's De L’Autre Côté du Regard (DLCR) and its connection to feminist ideology and the narrator’s hybrid cultural identity. This research applies a close reading technique, utilizing the framework of feminist narratology by Lanser (1986) and écriture féminine by Cixous (1976) and Brahimi (2000). Through data analysis, it is found that the narrative structure of DLCR, which represents the concept of écriture féminine, appears very fluid and non-linear, similar to writing pattern of memoirs. Repetitive phrases are found that represent the narrator’s deepest emotions regarding her maternal relationship and her in-between identity within postcolonial context. The results indicate that the structure of écriture féminine in DLCR appears to represent the narrator’s process of reconciliation, not only related to the maternal relationship with her biological mother but also to her motherland, Senegal. By incorporating the voice of other women, the text opens up a collective space of solidarity emblematic of African feminism. DLCR's narrative is argued to offer a distinctly African reinterpretation of feminism where bodily experience, ancestral tradition, and political resistance converge, ultimately presenting writing as an aesthetic and emancipatory act of postcolonial female self-definition.

Abstract

In popular media, women are often portrayed in antagonistic rivalries, reinforcing the narrative that female relationships are inherently competitive. This research explores how Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE, a docu-series documenting the journey of female contestants vying for a spot in a global K-pop girl group, challenges and complicates that narrative by presenting a more nuanced interplay of rivalry and solidarity. While existing scholarship on the Korean Wave (Hallyu) and K-pop has addressed gendered representations and the structural dynamics of the entertainment industry, limited attention has been given to how documentary storytelling mediates these gendered tensions. To address this gap, this study investigates how documentary film can shape, reflect, and potentially disrupt dominant gender ideologies. Employing feminist film analysis, documentary narratology, and close analysis of cinematic techniques, the study demonstrates how Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE constructs a cinematic language of sisterhood that both navigates and subverts the masculine logic of survival shows. Importantly, the study also engages with the cultural and linguistic dimensions of K-pop’s transnational reach, emphasizing how language, performance, and cross-cultural communication inform representations of identity and gender. This intersection of media, language, and culture offers critical insights into the global resonance of female solidarity in contemporary popular culture.
