| Popis: | Published in 1999, Cassandra is a remarquable novel through which Violet Barungi pinpoints various questions related to feminism and femalism. To delve into the issue of feminism and glass the idea on femocracy, the perspective of femism and kink has been developed and elaborated. Indeed, in a critical perspective, the paper has spotlighted the degree of the Ugandan women’s failure in the struggle against patriarchy in their society. An analysis of probate pertinency has shown up the resolution of the female character to overthrow the social and cultural female status cushioned by so much domesticated vagrancies. However, confronted with pugnant realities, the female actant steps back to fall into the trap of sex and sexuality. A path to freedom is then cut short, a dream shattered on the erotic wall of venial pleasures. Emancipation is then wedged apart into the glooming splinters of masculinity and patriarchy. |
