Editors’ Abstract
Because the subject of the previous contribution, Chrysovalantis Kyriacou’s “The Cypriot Peasant Revolt of 1426. Mentalities and Resistance in the Eastern Mediterranean,” is complex, controversial, and current in Cypriot politics and society, the author, the journal editors, and the three external readers agreed to reveal their identities and to establish a dialogue in the following manner: once Dr Kyriacou had revised his paper on the basis of the comments of the referees, they would write a companion article from their perspective. In this response, Grivaud, Nicolaou-Konnari, and Trélat argue that, given that the absence of revolts led by the Greek population of Cyprus during the island’s Lusignan rule (1192-1474/89) has fuelled many debates amongst scholars, it is not surprising that the so-called “Cypriot Peasant Revolt” of 1426-1427, an unicum, acquires the characteristics of mythology if interpreted to represent the emergence of the Greek peasantry as a political actor, inspired by the intention to overturn the equilibrium established on the island since Richard the Lionheart’s conquest. They thus offer what they term a detached assessment of the meagre historical evidence.
Résumé
La parution posthume des Inséparables invite à distinguer les deux modalités d’ écriture par lesquelles Beauvoir a fait revivre la figure majeure pour elle de Zaza (1907-1929), son amie d’ enfance et de jeunesse : la fiction puis l’ autobiographie ; et cela à la lumière des appréciations de l’ autrice et du pacte de lecture propre à chaque modalité d’ écriture. Ces approches successives sur plusieurs décennies témoignent de la fascination constante de Beauvoir pour Zaza et incitent le lecteur à prolonger l’ exploration beauvoirienne par les écrits mêmes de Zaza.
Abstract
Two crises of our age, refugee statelessness and sexual violence, converge in the lives of refugee women. This article examines this convergence by analyzing the meanings of refugee-camp sexual aggression and refugee women’s responses to it. Aligning Giorgio Agamben’s and Hannah Arendt’s ideas of refugee desubjectification with Simone de Beauvoir’s concept of gendered subjectivity, the author argues that refugee-camp men use sexual violence to reinstate their gendered subjectivity. In rejecting men’s demand that women accept their prerefugee, compromised subjectivity, refugee-camp women are rewriting the gendered subjectivity contract.
