| Sumario: | Chahdortt Djavann is a French-Iranian writer and sociologist committed to feminist causes, mainly regarding the use of the veil by women in the Islamic religion. In her novel The Mute, the author builds a narrative that exposes the double silencing suffered by women in Iran: first due to their gender, then due to the subordinated condition of belonging to a peripheral country in relation to the West. To analyze this theme, we mobilize gender issues with Felski (2003) and Kehl (2016), and also with Spivak (2010) when dealing with subordinate women, as well as seeking to understand the function of the trope of the found manuscript in the narrative as of Angelet (1990). It can be inferred, therefore, that Djavann produces a unique work in order to make us reflect on the different silencing imposed on the women in her fiction and the silencing the West imposes to the non-western countries. |
