Employing references in feminist fiction: A theoretical approach.

Abstract

Abstract

This research is based on revealing the cultural references in the feminist novel through its representation of a specific reality based on aesthetic requirements and gender-specific characteristics that make each narrative novel differs from the others. These references, as textual components, are linked to technical requirements that crystallize the overall narrative novel through sub-structures that control its movement and development. Although there are numerous and different questions of literary criticism, this does not hinder openness to the accumulated studies, since the discourse of the novel is open to further studies, research and approaches. This is due to the expansion of the creative development in this literary genre, which strives to respond to these perspectives through progress and evolution. The references are numerous and varied according to how the novelist employs them. There are religious references, cultural references, historical references and others.
