Rewriting Personal Stories in Brick Lane by Monica Ali and Half a Life by V. S. Naipaul

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie procesu kształtowania się tożsamości bohaterów Brick Lane i Pół życia w wyniku przemieszczenia kulturowego i interakcji z nowym otoczeniem. Prezentowany artykuł to także próba analizy sposobów kształtowania własnego losu, będącego wynikiem zmieniającego się postrzegania własnej osoby i ucieczki od tożsamości narzuconej. Elementem kluczowym w analizie literackiej powieści jest zastosowanie teorii postkolonialnych, ukazujących jednostkę jako złożoną, dynamiczną i interakcyjną strukturę. Sposób, w jaki bohaterowie tworzą swoje życie na nowym miejscu, odzwierciedla ich relacje z otoczeniem. Bohaterowie przepisują swoje losy dosłownie i w przenośni: albo dostosowując je do wymogów własnej kultury i tradycji, albo ukazując się innym takimi, jakimi chcą ich widzieć. Żyjąc na granicy dwóch światów – Zachodniego i Wschodniego bohaterowie muszą odnaleźć własne miejsce, które pozwoli im na zachowanie autonomii, przejęcie kontroli nad swoim losem i stworzenie własnej wyjątkowej tożsamości.

Keywords: trans-cultural cities; multiculturalism; integration; the European Union

The purpose of this paper is to emphasize that nowadays, perhaps more than ever before, Europe can be perceived as a rich mosaic of cultures. Given the large diversity of people living in contemporary Europe, the success of the EU depends, among others, on its efforts to become as inclusive as possible, encouraging cooperation across states while preserving and respecting individual rights and freedoms, collective identities and cultures. During the last decades, many large cities and metropolises of the “Old Continent” have turned into rich cultural mosaics, where people belonging to different nations, regions and cultures encounter and interact; the European urban space may be considered a mirror, reflecting processes that are currently at work in the entire European Union. This paper makes reference to the way several novelists, writing in English during the last decades, perceive London and the problems it confronts, arguing in favor of tolerance that, in their opinion, might be the best, if not the only solution to peaceful co-habitation in present-day Europe.

Restituirea operelor care fac organic parte dintr-o cultură naţională este îndatorirea cercetătorilor. Rezultatul acestui demers poate fi încadrat în categoria instrumentelor de lucru, dar şi în cea a lecturii agreabile şi instructive pentru cititorii contemporani, mai ales dacă avem în vedere dificultăţile create de utilizarea alfabetului chirilic, des întâlnit până spre sfârşitul secolului al XIX-lea, ceea ce este şi situaţia lucrării pe care o avem în faţă, adică Predicile lui Petru Maior. Privite din unghiuri diferite: istoric, literar, bibliologic - să rămâ- nem numai la cele trei segmente - aceste cărţi româneşti vechi, devenite astfel contemporane cu noi prin contribuţia autorilor din zilele noastre reprezintă un incontestabil câştig pentru public.

“She Isn’t Going to Give Up”: Women’s Resilience in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane – A Feminist Reading

“She Isn’t Going to Give Up”: Women’s Resilience in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane – A Feminist Reading

Author(s): Ana-Blanca Ciocoi-Pop / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: Monica Ali; Brick Lane; feminism; postcolonialism; culture clash; emancipation; immigrants; feminine resilience;

While Monica Ali’s novel Brick Lane is most often analyzed from the vantage points of postcolonialism as a text dealing primarily with the plight of the Bangladeshi immigrant community in London, it is difficult, if not downright impossible, to overlook the crucial role women and feminine resilience (in the face of not only patriarchy, but also racism, religion and social unrest) play in the novel. In actual fact, the story can much easier be read as the plight of women in their quest for self-determination and identity than as a novel about cultural clashes in the multicultural metropolis. The present essay sets out to prove that feminism is actually at the forefront of Ali’s novel, and that the feminine characters in Brick Lane stand for a post-feminist reflection on the (still) gasping abyss between theoretical gender equality and real-life sexism.

Immigration, Integration, Dislocation: the Herculean Labours of the Self in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane

Immigration, integration, dislocation : les travaux hérculéens du Moi dans Brick Lane par Monica Ali

Author(s): Laura Monica Toma / Language(s): English / Issue: 37/2020

Keywords: multicultural conflict; immigrants; disembedded self; cultural heritage; forms of femininity ;

Brick Lane offers the reader a fascinating insight into the universe of the British Bengali community in London, foregrounding a panoply of human experiences, from the trials and tribulation of the immigrants to the emancipation of the female protagonist. This paper investigates the nature of the multicultural conflict that the novel foregrounds, revealing the fact that the immigrant is a disembedded self, torn between the desire to preserve his cultural heritage and the need to adapt in order to survive in the great metropolis of London. As the novel chronicles the protagonist’s transformation from a shy girl into an independent woman who takes charge of her life, I shall also explore the fashioning of the feminine self and look into matters such as dependence, social roles, forms of femininity.

Author(s): Anișoara Pop / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2021

Keywords: second language acquisition; bilingualism; English as a foreign language; cultural identity;

By studying the variables of age, bilingualism, identity, and emotions on second language learning/teaching, the author identifies methods likely to optimize both students’ second language acquisition (SLA) and the teachers’ approaches. The pertinent conclusion is that both teaching and acquisition of English as a second or third foreign language are shaped by multiple concomitant factors including the students’ age, their cultural identity, emotions, as well as their being bilingual or multi- lingual. Especially novel and illustrative for the author’s contribution to the field is the survey of monolingual versus bilingual students in higher education institutions from Transylvania, the latter coming from mixed Romanian-Hungarian families. Given these students’ cognitive development and experience with a wider range of sounds, i.e. metalinguistic awareness and communicative skills, they tend to outperform their monolingual peers in terms of cognitive flexibility, phonetic sensitivity, metalinguistic awareness and field independence - they generate larger structures which also include incorrect sentences, but which allows them to progress faster than monolinguals.

A taste of home: Immigrant food spaces in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane and In the Kitchen

A taste of home: Immigrant food spaces in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane and In the Kitchen

Author(s): Silvia Baučeková / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: immigration; globalization; food spaces; Monica Ali; contemporary British novel;

In his book Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (1995), Marc Augé notes that places inhabited by indigenous people “have at least three characteristics in common. They want to be—people want them to be—places of identity, of relations and of history” (52). However, in a global world, access to these ancestral places is often lost. Immigrants frequently find themselves in what Augé calls non-places: in transit, in temporary spaces, in generic, hostile, or alien environments. In this paper, I look at how everyday spaces are occupied by immigrant characters in two novels by the Bangladeshi-British author Monica Ali, Brick Lane (2003) and In the Kitchen (2009). Taking as a starting point Michel de Certeau’s understanding of everyday activities as possible vehicles of empowerment and resistance, I examine how domestic food spaces, and the activities performed in them, help foster a sense of belonging and community. I also explore the paradoxical nature of public food spaces, which, while providing the immigrant characters with jobs and serving as sites of community building, also contribute to their social exclusion and isolation. Finally, I explore how Ali uses (immigrant) food spaces in her novels to add a sense of locality to the global metropolis that is contemporary London.
