Abstract

Travel writing has traditionally been studied through non-fictional texts, leaving a significant gap in understanding how fictional narratives can also function as a medium of travel representation. This study responds to that gap by examining the Arabic short fiction Nīqūsiyā as a work of travel writing, applying Carl Thompson's travel-writing framework, which emphasizes reporting the world, revealing the self, and representing the other. The study addresses how fictional narratives construct travel experiences and represent foreign space, exilic identity, and alterity within the framework of travel writing. Using a qualitative interpretive method and textual analysis, this research analyzes narrative strategies, empirical details, and comparative representation. The data in this study consist of words, phrases, and sentences from the short story. At the same time, data were collected through repeated close readings of the text, followed by systematic documentation of segments representing the travel narrative. The findings show that the world is reported through administrative, geographical, and sensory details that create a sense of factuality while reflecting the narrator's subjective framing of reality. By revealing the self, the journey serves as a medium for emotional and existential transformation, in which memory and exile reshape the narrator's self-awareness and identity. Meanwhile, the other is represented through contrasts between the foreign space and the narrator's space of origin, showing that alterity is relationally constructed through cultural memory and personal experience. This study implies that in fictional travel writing, exilic identity and alterity are relationally constructed through the interplay of memory, space, and subjective experience.

Abstract

Although Nawal El Sa’dawi's novels have been extensively studied, the bodily and affective mechanisms of her short fiction remain largely unexamined. This gap matters because bodily shame, fear, and obedience often naturalize patriarchal authority more effectively than explicit coercion. This study closes that gap by analyzing how patriarchal morality, religious anxiety, class hierarchy, and racialized exclusion make women's bodies experience shame, sin, fear, obedience, and alienation in three short stories from Sa’dawi's Adab am Qillat Al-Adab, read through Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection. The study employs a qualitative, psychoanalytic, literary-critical design, with data drawn from close reading and cross-story comparison of bodily signs. The findings show three connected patterns. First, women's speech about the body, money, sex, and the womb is treated as a threat to propriety in Adab am Qillat Al-Adab. Second, Hālat Fatāh min Daftar Aḥwāl 'Iyādatī turns piety, fatherly authority, and public gaze into bodily fear. Third, Laysa Lahā Makān fī al-Jannah presents the poor black female body as obedient, hungry, overworked, and excluded even from imagined paradise. Across the three stories, power becomes lived through bodily affect. These findings indicate that abjection in Sa’dawi's short fiction is not only a private feeling of disgust or guilt but a social process that converts women's bodies into morally suspect, economically valued, racially marked, and symbolically expelled bodies. The study contributes to Arab feminist literary criticism by showing how Sa’dawi transforms bodily shame into a critique of power, extending her literary legacy well beyond the novel form itself.
