Abstract

Abū Zayd’s broader intellectual contributions are widely recognized, his extensive work on women’s issues remains underexplored. He authored several studies on the topic, including dedicated articles and two volumes that collect his studies on women’s issues: Al-Mar’a fī khiṭāb al-azma (Women in the Discourse of Crisis, 1994) and Dawā’ir al-khawf: Qirā’a fī khiṭāb al-mar’a (Circles of Fear: A Reading of the Discourse on Women, 2004). This critical reflection provides a critical reflection on his paper Qaḍiyya(t) al-mar’a bayn sindān al-ḥadātha wa miṭraqa(t) al-taqālīd: dirāsa fī tarīkh al-nuṣūṣ (1999) on the occasion of its translation into English and Turkish by the Kadem Journal of Women’s Studies into Turkish and English.

Abstract

Ebû Zeyd’in geniş kapsamlı entelektüel katkıları yaygın olarak tanınmakla birlikte, kadın meseleleri üzerine yaptığı kapsamlı çalışmalar yeterince incelenmemiştir. Bu konu üzerine çeşitli makaleler yazmış ve kadın meseleleri üzerine çalışmalarını bir araya getiren iki cilt hazırlamıştır: El-Mer’a fî ḫıṭâb el-ezme (Kriz Söyleminde Kadın, 1994) ve Devâ’ir el-ḫavf: Ḳırâ’a fî ḫıṭâb el-mer’a (Korku Çemberleri: Kadın Söylemine Bir Okuma, 2004). Bu eleştirel inceleme, makalesi Ḳażıyya(t) el-mer’a beyne sindân el-ḥadâse ve miṭraḳa(t) et-taḳâlîd: dirâse fî târîḫ en-nuṣûṣ (Kadın Meselesi: Modernite ve Gelenek Arasında Bir Metin Tarihi Çalışması, 1999) üzerine, bu makalenin KADEM Kadın Araştırmaları Dergisi tarafından Türkçe ve İngilizceye çevrilmesi vesilesiyle yapılan eleştirel bir değerlendirme sunmaktadır.
