My dreams are forgotten:
Scattered thoughts running through my mind, touching what's inside me,
I narrate it for you and for him, write it in simple words so that it reaches your heart, in a sunset hour when feelings are silent...
“My Forgotten Dreams” began at the age of fifteen. The little girl began to express her feelings and dreams in letters until she matured and changed into a dream, and her literary texts began to touch human concerns.
Al-Dafina talks about human topics such as love, hope, betrayal, alienation, and neglect. For the sake of this dreamy girl and this mature woman, I present to you a summary of my feelings and dreams.
آدم تحت مجهر الأنثى السمراء (كتاب). لم يكن يعي مدى حبي له فيما سبق إلى أن خطفني منه القدر .كان شرقياً عنيف الطباع ، مغرور الحضور ، عنيد المزاج ،مشتت التفكير
The term “women’s empowerment” has invaded the research literature and reports issued by civil society organizations in the Arab region, without sufficient introduction to this term, its dimensions, indicators, and methods for measuring it, especially in view of the geographical and cultural specificities, and the different historical circumstances of women from one country to another: the empowerment of women in... Belgium, or Ecuador is not the same as empowering them in Syria.
This is precisely what justifies the interest in publishing the “Methodological Guide to Women’s Empowerment,” prepared by the work team in the “Gender and its Indicators” project, managed by the Women and Development Committee of the General Department of Cooperative Development (DGCD) in Belgium.
Instead of adopting a fixed template that applies to all women, this guide takes into account the cultural specificities of each society and proposes a flexible methodology that allows for the formulation of empowerment indicators.
Empowerment, according to the words of the authors of this guide: “is not based on a process of horizontal development, or fixed values in society, but rather a cumulative process built on the activities of women’s movements, as well as mixed movements.”
Thus, this guide explores the relationship of the concept of empowerment to other related terms, such as: power, distribution of responsibilities, and building identity.
أدركت (نفرتيتي) أثناء صلاتها أن أمامها وأمام زوجها قرارات مصيرية وأن مستقبلها كملكة ومستقبل البلاد سيأخذ منعطفا اخر,منعطفا خيراً جداً,قد يجازف الزوجان المليكان بشعبيهما,قد يخسران حب الناس وكل شيء,قد ينقلب الناس عليهما فيكونان من الخاسرين !
Cristina Fernandez Cubas does not introduce her heroines to us easily. She takes us on straight paths at first glance, and at one moment, she turns everything upside down. We discover that her characters are torn between two realities, the separation between which is very precise: the fixed reality, and the imagined or delusional reality. . One of them overpowers the other at times, and at other times a reconciliation occurs between them, without us knowing which of them truly exists, and which of them does not exist.
“Nona’s Room,” which won the Critics’ Prize in Spain (2015) and the National Narrative Award (2016), is a magnifying glass through which we see the complexities of the human soul and the mystery that surrounds our lives without us always succeeding in observing and understanding it. In it, “Cubas” reconsiders childhood and maturity. And loneliness and family, revealing to us that nothing is really as it seems, writing all of this in transparent language and in a unique style that gives it a detective touch, with skill and lightness.
رجلُ يستمتع بكُلِ ما يُصاحب تلك الفترةِ المُرهقة من أرقِ وألمِ وتضارب في المشاعر , لكنني وما أن يرى كتابي النور حتى أُصاب باكتئابِ مابعد " الكتابة " , فأكره كتابي
