Fatima Mernissi's memoir Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood elaborates a process of self-narration that entails self-construction and self-re-creation. This dissertation examines the multiple strategies this autobiography delineates for the construction of a feminist subjectivity negotiated within and against the confines of a national and religious identity and shows how such an endeavor is problematized and informed by the multiple audiences at which Mernissi's work is aimed. The first chapter examines how the women of Mernissi's harem access a feminist space within the normative and patriarchal structures surrounding them, manipulating these to create fissures for escape from the ordinariness of their lives. These fissures may be found in physical or imaginary spaces. My second chapter explores how, once accessed, these confining structures or narratives are refashioned into a feminist counternarrative that subverts and rewrites the larger political, social and sexual narratives of the nation. Here, the formulation of a feminist subjectivity is strategically negotiated within the context of historical, national, cultural and religious master narratives which define women as guardians of national identity and authenticity in a postcolonial world. Chapter three examines how Mernissi, as an Arab and Muslim woman who must address not only her own nation but the West as well, also rewrites orientalist and Western narratives, primarily through elements of her work which are para- or supra-textual: packaging, photographs, footnotes, and authorial voice and tone. Chapter four explores how Mernissi's negotiation of "feminist longings" with "postcolonial conditions" is problematized by the necessity of appealing to both national and international audiences. In a comparative examination of Dreams and an Arabic translation (Women on the Wings of Dreams), we see that textual and paratextual strategies are molded to suit the demands of a particular audience and alter meanings within the narrative. The chapter finds that Dreams is significantly revised to better reach and educate its target audience, but that its more radical message is also betrayed. Ultimately, the four chapters of this dissertation demonstrate how one text and its translation employ multiple narrative and extra-narrative strategies in the (re)writing of the self, the nation, and/for the "Other."
