Oscillating Bodies reads together the depiction of human bodies in arabophone and francophone Tunisian novels. This produces an understanding of Tunisian society from the countrys independence in 1956 until the revolutionary upheavals of 2010/2011. It appears as a society that oscillates between the poles of tradition and modernity as well as various cultural influences. Oscillating Bodies also forms and can be read as an introduction to the Tunisian novel that is otherwise ignored by international literary studies.
Charlotte Pardey (*1986) first studied Oriental Studies (BA) and then Arabic Literature and Culture (MA) at Philipps-Universität Marburg with exchange semesters in Syria and Turkey. Afterwards she earned a second Master degree in Comparative Literature (Africa/Asia) at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. She returned to the department of Arabic Studies at the Centre for Near and Middle Eastern Studies in Marburg as a PhD student under the supervision of Professor Friederike Pannewick. Her dissertation was supported by a doctoral scholarship of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes). From March 2017 until December 2020, Charlotte Pardey was a postdoctoral researcher in Friederike Pannewick’s research group “Turning Points | Figures of Thought” (2012-2020, DFG, Leibniz-Prize) and focused on literatures of the Maghreb in her research.
