“…(Guo 2020, 10) Another peculiar element of Guo's (2020) A Lover's Discourse is the absence of references to names: the two characters are nameless. Doloughan (2021) has described this practice, typical of Xiaolu Guo's fiction, as a way of focusing on the dialogic interaction between characters whose positions are representative, rather than unique, and may reflect more generalizable philosophical and existential concerns. (Doloughan 2021, 36) e-ISSN 2385-3042 59, 2023, 455-474…”

Zaynab al-Ghazālī (1917 was an activist of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the founder of the Muslim Women's Association, a religious preacher and a prolific writer. The article seeks to trace the evolution of al-Ghazālī's activism and her political ideas, starting from the formative years (1917-48) until her imprisonment under the regime of ʿAbd al-Nāṣir (1964). The article is expected to make an original contribution to the existing literature by presenting al-Ghazālī's thinking beyond her conception of women and by relying on the analysis of a group of articles written on the Magazine of the Muslim Women (Maǧallat al-Sayyidāt al-Muslimāt) between 1951 and 1957, which has remained so far unexplored.

This paper aims to analyse A Lover’s Discourse (2020), a novel by Chinese writer Xiaolu Guo, comparing it to A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments (1978) by Roland Barthe and examining to what degree the French linguist and semiotician has influenced the author’s work. The discourse between lovers developed by Guo resembles that of Barthes on a structural, linguistic, and thematic level, but is set in an intercultural and multilingual context. By reframing the discourse as such, Xiaolu Guo contemplates themes of love, wordlessness, and home, connected to the migrant’s experience.
