| dc.description | This study focuses on the work of Sanaa Shalan, a contemporary Jordanian novelist who has produced numerous novels and more than 28 anthologies of short stories. In her selected novels, Shalan sheds light on the phenomenon of violence against women, alongside women's lack of human rights and social justice in a patriarchal society. The objectives of this research are to identify the crisis of violence against women in Jordan and to elucidate that violence against women is socially embedded and fueled by the misunderstanding of Islam's teachings as represented by Shalan's depictions of three prevalent forms of violence against Jordanian women in a malecontrolled society. The three selected literary works, Falling in the Sun, I Love Myself and I Narrate for You, represent her portrayals of Jordanian women's sufferings due to physical and psychological violence. These forms of violence demonstrate the nature of the relationship between men and women which forms the constructs of the study's conceptual framework. It is based on applicable and pertinent concepts from both Western theories such as feminism that includes victim-blaming and learned helplessness, and Arab conceptions namely Maksora, Muhana, and Muathaba that are factored in to show the magnitude of violence against women in the selected works which is a reflection of the reality of the problem in Jordan. These Arabic terms were coined by the Women against Violence Association in Jordan to elucidate the phenomenon of domestic violence in the context of oppression, victimization, and women's marginalization. By emphasizing on the female protagonists in the three novels, the adopted framework offers insights into issues of disempowerment and humiliation in a male-controlled society. The methodology of analysis is constructed to reveal the degree of Maksora, Muhana, and Muathaba in each novel. The findings show that the crisis of violence against women is culturally embedded and socially empowered in a male-controlled society together with the misunderstanding of Islamic teachings concerning the treatment of women. Notably, these findings confirm that although Jordan is governed by Islamic principles, there is a disparity in the application of Islamic teachings in the lifestyles of men and women.,Ph.D. | - |
