Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2004.

This dissertation explores how three contemporary French and Francophone writers (Marie Redonnet, Maryse Conde, and Assia Djebar) replicate or resist the worldwide dissemination of media images of the Western woman. At a time when cultures are increasingly obsessed with body image on the one hand, and with self-preservation on the other, this dissertation analyzes the deeper cultural implications at stake when female characters mimic or reject Western models. As each writer depicts a hybrid culture (respectively Franco-American in Redonnet's fiction, Franco-Caribbean in Conde's fiction, and Franco-Algerian in Djebar's fiction), this study reveals how "multicultural bodies" born out of their local and a (media) global culture offer a variety of resistances to the one model of femininity offered by the media. Because of the plurality of responses to globalization, this dissertation concludes that the homogenizing aspect of globalization might be overstated, and wrongly assumes a uniformed perspective on the phenomenon. It also seeks to explain why post-colonial female characters in Conde's Franco-Caribbean novels and Djebar's Franco-Algerian works become sites of post-colonial resistance against globalization, whereas such a female resistance is missing in the non post-colonial fiction of Redonnet.
