1. The Voice of Nature : Ecological Personification in Abulhawa’s Mornings in Jenin and Abdel-Fattah’s Where the Streets Had a Name: An Ecolinguistic Analysis
Master-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för språk (SPR)Sammanfattning : This study delves into the ways in which the displaced Palestinian characters in Susan Abulhawa’s Mornings in Jenin (2010) and Randa Abdel-Fattah’s Where the Streets Had a Name (2008) connect to their homeland through embodied metaphors, particularly through the personification of their native lands, which will be read with recourse to Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). By utilizing ecolinguistics as an analytical lens and applying CMT, this study illuminates how both literary works significantly underscore the urgency and cruciality of the human-nature interconnection and interdependence amid tragedy and dispossession.
