Immigration as a double prison Inch’Allah Dimanche Session 5

The plot The story of an immigrant woman struggling against old world traditions. Zouina leaves her homeland with her three children to join her husband in France, where he's been living for the past ten years. In a land and culture foreign to her, Zouina struggles against her mother-in-law's tyrannical hand and her husband's distrustful bitterness in an attempt to adjust to her life in exile.

The Split/Rupture The film illustrates the effect of immigration: in the case of this film it is the split/rupture between two cultural systems: traditional Algerian culture That of traditional Algerian culture AND modernization of France Rapid feminization and modernization of France

Historical context 1974 – Family Reunion Act The French Government decided to allow the families of Algerian men working in France to legally emigrate to join them. Spouses who have not seen each other for many years are officially joined and realize that they have nothing in common

Entrapment Zouina is entrapped by the new situation She is cut off from her culture; isolated from her friends She is in prison of her culture and her customs The clash between Muslim custom and French tradition

The maternal subject The film can be seen as representing the point of view of a mother and a woman first, and an immigrant, second The director is interstitially (term - Naficy) positioned to present this story She inscribes Algerian history into the film Clip from Battle of Algiers by Gillo Pontecorvo rDw rDw

Acculturation Absorbing the culture of “the other” Zouina slowly does this by relinquishing contact with her abusive mother in law, opposing her husband and escaping with her children into open air on Sundays Her diasporic female subjectivity requires reterritorialization of spatial relations: new claims in public spaces often occupied only by men

New spaces in new places Algeria: Public space belongs to men Private space belongs to women France: Public space belongs to both men and women Private space is gender neutral Zouina reappropriates both spaces and wins her place in the new country
