  • Title: Women of Agency: the Penned Thoughts of Bengali Muslim
    Title: Women of Agency: The Penned Thoughts of Bengali Muslim Women Writers of 9th 20th the Late 1 and Early Century Submitted by: Irteza Binte-Farid In Fulfillment of the Feminist Studies Honors Program Date: June 3, 2013 introduction: With the prolusion of postcolornal literature and theory arising since the 1 9$Os. unearthing subaltern voices has become an admirable task that many respected scholars have undertaken. Especially in regards to South Asia, there has been a series of meticulouslyresearched and nuanced arguments about the role of the subaltern in contributing to the major annals of history that had previously been unrecorded, greatly enriching the study of the history of colonialism and imperialism in South Asia. 20th The case of Bengali Muslim women in India in the late l91 and early century has also proven to be a topic that has produced a great deal of recent literature. With a history of scholarly 19th texts, unearthing the voices of Hindu Bengali middle-class women of late and early 2O’ century, scholars felt that there was a lack of representation of the voices of Muslim Bengali middle-class women of the same time period. In order to counter the overwhelming invisibility of Muslim Bengali women in academic scholarship, scholars, such as Sonia Nishat Amin, tackled the difficult task of presenting the view of Muslim Bengali women. Not only do these new works fill the void of representing an entire community. they also break the persistent representation of Muslim women as ‘backward,’ within normative historical accounts by giving voice to their own views about education, religion, and society) However, any attempt to make ‘invisible’ histories ‘visible’ falls into a few difficulties.

  • Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein1 to Taslima Nasrin
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 10, NUMBER 1, JUNE 2016 From Islamic Feminism to Radical Feminism: Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein1 to Taslima Nasrin Niaz Zaman2 Independent University, Bangladesh Abstract This paper examines four women writers who have contributed through their writings and actions to the awakening of women in Bangladesh: Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein, Sufia Kamal, Jahanara Imam and Taslima Nasrin. The first three succeeded in making a space for themselves in the Bangladesh tradition and carved a special niche in Bangladesh. All three of them were writers in different genres – poetry, prose, fiction – with the last best known for her diary about 1971. While these iconic figures contributed towards women’s empowerment or people’s rights in general, Taslima Nasrin is the most radically feminist of the group. However, while her voice largely echoes in the voices of young Bangladeshi women today – often unacknowledged – she has been shunned by her own country. The paper attempts to explain why, while other women writers have also said what Taslima Nasrin has, she alone is ostracised. Keywords Islamic feminism, radical feminism, gynocritics, purdah, 1971, Shahbagh protests In this paper, I wish to examine four women writers who have contributed through their writings and actions to the awakening of women in Bangladesh. Beginning with Roquiah Sakhawat Hossein (1880-1932), I will also discuss the roles played by Sufia Kamal (1911-99), Jahanara Imam (1929-94) and Taslima Nasrin (1962-). The first three succeeded in making a space for themselves in the Bangladesh tradition and carved a special niche in Bangladesh. All three of them were writers: Roquiah wrote poems, short stories, a novel, as well as prose pieces; Sufia Kamal was primarily a poet but also wrote a number of short 1 There is some confusion over the spelling of her name.

  • Recounting Resistance, Envisioning Justice
    Confronting Violence: Recounting Resistance, Envisioning Justice INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE NEW DELHI MARCH 17-19, 2004 Organised by Jagori, Sangat and VDAY PDF processed with CutePDF evaluation edition www.CutePDF.com Preface The conference was a confluence of the energies of the womens movement in South Asia and the world. The womens movement started three decades ago, and now includes three generations of women. This is a movement, for justice, peace and democracy. As over 300 women shared their experiences over three days as women, activists and agents of change for a more humane society the womens movement itself unfolded before the participants. The movement, the struggle thus far and the challenges ahead be they in the form of institutionalised violence, continuing wars or resurgence of sectarian/racial/ caste/communal violence all came under a close examination in the course of the conference. Strategies that have been used and implemented in the past were evaluated and futures strategies were spoken about. The issues examined at the three day conference, held in the sprawling campus of Hamdard University in New Delhi, included patriarchy, sexuality, masculinity and militarism; womans body and body politic, stereotyped projection of women in media and collective response of the movement to counter the subtle and not so subtle trends of violence against women. The responses sometimes structured in the form of presentations, sometimes flowing freely in the form of animated discussions and sometimes coming alive in the form of plays, musical expression and theatre also wove for the participants the shape of things that ought to be. The participants came from near and far.

  • ANALYSING the REPRESENTATION of GENDER in a BENGALI TEXTBOOK for CLASSES IX-X from a POST-COLONIAL PERSPECTIVE Pratiti Shirin*
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 61(2), 2016, pp. 243-257 ANALYSING THE REPRESENTATION OF GENDER IN A BENGALI TEXTBOOK FOR CLASSES IX-X FROM A POST-COLONIAL PERSPECTIVE * Pratiti Shirin Abstract This paper analyses the representation of gender in the Bengali textbook used for teaching classes 9 and 10. It takes a post-colonial perspective to explore the following questions: a) Who are the authors, users, and publishers of the book? b) Who is being given a voice and who is being marginalised or silenced in the book and why? c) How do the perception of this textbook differ from the young schoolchildren to an adult researcher who finds herself in a post-colonial situation? And d) what kind of gender portrayal do the authors want the nation to adopt, as is evidenced from this textbook? What are its implications? The article concludes that there is an adequate representation of both genders with an emphasis on gender equality although the non-Bengali population has been marginalised in its representation with regards to both genders due to the writers’ emphasis on or willingness to produce homogeneity by representing Bengali nationalism as the dominant discourse of Bangladeshh. Introduction There is an old Bengali saying: the Mullah can only go up to the mosque. It means that each of us is capable of perceiving the world as such and not go beyond it and that each of us has certain limitations regarding perceptions we often are unable to overcome. Gender and textbook is a topic that has been widely worked on.

  • GLOBAL-LOCAL INTERACTIONS: FIRST THREE DECADES of the WOMEN's MOVEMENT in BANGLADESH* Ayesha Banu
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 60(2), 2015, pp. 203-230 GLOBAL-LOCAL INTERACTIONS: FIRST THREE DECADES OF THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IN BANGLADESH* ** Ayesha Banu Abstract The main focus of this paper is to look into the feminist formulations with particular emphasis on global–local interactions and its impact in shaping the contours of the women’s movement in Bangladesh. The time frame of this study covers the first three decades of Bangladesh i.e. 1971-2000. The paper reveals that the feminist formulations are not the sole prerogative of the women’s organisations or the feminists alone. There are several sites and platforms where feminist articulations are made. The women’s movement, while making its own articulations, is also engaged in a dialogue with other actors in the wider domain of feminism. Among other actors and sites of feminist formulations, the state and global feminism have come out as two major sites, with which the women’s movement is constantly interacting, shaping and being shaped in its journey of feminist developments. This study made use of qualitative research methodology, conducting in-depth interviews and collecting life stories of key protagonists of the women’s movement, and blending such primary data with secondary source materials. Introduction This paper attempts to look at the interface taking place at a macro level, highlighting the nature of interaction from a broader perspective in relation to the state, global feminism and development of autonomous feminist voices at the local level. The purpose here is to look into feminist formulations around the world to understand what impact these global scenarios have had on local level feminist formulations.

Remember language comes from this. Remember the dance that language is, that life is. Remember to remember. —Joy Harjo, “Remember” I would like to thank my committee for their encouragement and guidance throughout my stay at Washington State University, and through the chaos of living in five states and two countries while working on my dissertation. They have all helped me grow so much—not just as a scholar, but also as a human being. Victor Villanueva has been not only a real friend to me through many of life’s challenges, but has also been instrumental in shaping my understanding of political economy on a global—rather world-systems—scale and how it speaks to ideology and the rhetorics of racism and imperialism. Victor’s course on contemporary rhetoric was exceptional not only because of the rigorous theoretical lens through which he taught the course, but because he also managed to get a bunch of grumpy, sleep-deprived graduate students excited about learning and laughing (and even dancing!) at 9:00 in the morning.
