2024, Han el-Halili, Necîb Mahfûz (Çev. Bedrettin Aytaç) İstanbul Hit Kitap Yayıncılık, 2011

Necîb Mahfûz'un "Han el-Halili" romanı, Mısır'ın tarihî ve kültürel dokusunu derinlemesine işleyen etkileyici bir eserdir. Romanın ana konusu, 1940'lı yılların ortasında, İkinci Dünya Savaşı'nın gölgesinde Kahire'de geçen bir ailenin hayat mücadelesidir. Eserin genel atmosferi, dönemin sosyal ve politik çalkantılarını yansıtırken, günlük yaşamın sokağa yansıyan sıcaklığını da içermektedir. Ana karakter olan Ahmed Akif, ailesiyle birlikte maddi sıkıntılar içinde yaşamını sürdüren, içsel çatışmalar ve hayal kırıklıklarıyla dolu bir gençtir. Romanın geçtiği mekân olan Han el-Halili bölgesi, yalnızca bir arka plan değil, aynı zamanda karakterlerin etkileşim kurduğu, toplumsal normların ve değerlerin şekillendiği bir sahnedir. Eserin ana teması, bireysel mücadeleler ve toplumsal baskılar altında var olma mücadelesi olarak öne çıkar. Konu ve olay örgüsü, Ahmed Akif'in yaşadığı duygusal dalgalanmalar, ailesinin geçim sıkıntıları ve çevresel faktörlerin etkisi altında sürdürdüğü yaşamını çevreler. Roman, aynı zamanda Mısır'ın sosyal ve kültürel bağlamını da ustalıkla işler; geleneksel değerler ve modernleşme arasındaki gerilimi, bireyin bu iki dünya arasında nasıl sıkıştığını gözler önüne serer. Bu bağlamda "Han el-Halili", sadece bir dönem romanı değil, aynı zamanda insani duyguların ve toplumsal gerçeklerin çarpıcı bir anlatımıdır. Ahmed Akif'in en büyük hayali, yalnızca ailesini borç batağından kurtarmak değil, aynı zamanda kendi kimliğini bulmak ve kendisiyle barışık bir şekilde yaşayabilmektir. Ancak, içinde bulunduğu toplumsal şartlar ve dönemin ekonomik zorlukları bu hayalini sürekli erteler. Hayal kırıklıkları ve umut arasındaki bu gelgit, Ahmed'in karakter gelişimini belirleyen temel unsurlardandır. Romanın diğer dikkat çekici karakterleri arasında Ahmed'in babası, annesi ve kız kardeşi de yer alır. Babası, eski bir devlet memuru olup emekli maaşıyla ailesini geçindirmeye çalışırken, annesi geleneksel değerlere sıkı sıkıya bağlı bir ev hanımıdır. Kız kardeşi ise, dönemin genç kızlarının karşılaştığı evlenme baskıları ve toplumsal beklentilerle mücadele etmektedir. Her bir karakter, dönemin ve toplumun farklı yüzlerini yansıtan derinlemesine işlenmiş profillere sahiptir. Han el-Halili çarşısında Ahmed'in karşılaştığı farklı karakterler de romanın zenginliğini arttırır. Bakkal Kasım Efendi, çarşının en eski esnaflarından olup herkesin saygı duyduğu bilge bir figürdür. Ahmed'in sık sık Kasım Efendi ile yaptığı sohbetler, ona hayatın zorlukları ve mücadeleyle başa çıkma yolları hakkında önemli dersler verir. Bir diğer karakter ise genç ve idealist gazeteci Salih'tir. Salih, modernleşme ve gelenekler arasındaki gerilimi gözler önüne sererken, Ahmed'in dünyasında yeni bir bakış açısının şekillenmesine öncülük eder. Romanın derinlemesine karakter analizi ve dönemsel anlatımı, okuyucuyu o dönemin Mısır'ına götürürken, aynı zamanda evrensel insani duygulara ve mücadelelere dair düşünmeye sevk eder. Necîb Mahfûz'un "Han el-Halili" romanı, Kahire'nin kadim ve hareketli Han el-Halili çarşısında geçen etkileyici bir hikâye sunar. Bu tarihi ve büyüleyici mekân, canlı atmosferi ve zengin kültürel dokusuyla romanın sadece bir sahnesi değil, aynı zamanda başlı başına bir karakter gibi işlem görür. Romanın ana karakterleri Ahmed, Salih ve Zeynep, bu mistik ve renkli dünyada kendilerine has kişilikleri ve ilişkileriyle öne çıkarlar Ahmed Akif; içe dönük, düşünceli ve entelektüel bir karakter olarak, hayatta anlam arayışı içinde olan biri olarak karşımıza çıkar. Onun derin düşünceleri ve bilimsel merakları, çarşının tarih kokan sokaklarında daha da yoğunlaşır. Ahmed, Han el-Halili'nin dar ve dolambaçlı sokaklarında, tarihle ve kültürle yoğrulmuş bir içsel yolculuğa çıkarak kendini keşfetmeye çalışır. Salih ise; enerjik, tutkulu ve birçok farklı işe el atan, ailesinin umudu olarak görülen bir gençtir. Hayal gücü geniş ve girişimci ruhu ile Ahmed'in tam zıttı olan Salih, çarşının ticaretle dolu hareketli ortamında sürekli bir faaliyet içindedir. Onun bu dinamik yaşamı, çarşının enerjisiyle uyumludur ve Salih'in çarşının insan çeşitliliği içinde kendi yerini bulmasına olanak sağlar. Zeynep; duygusal, narin ve aşk dolu bir karakter olarak hem Ahmed hem de Salih üzerinde derin etkiler bırakır. Zarif yapısı ve içtenliğiyle, çarşının sert ve hızlı ritmi içinde bir nefes gibi hissedilir. Zeynep'in varlığı, iki erkek karakter için de bir dönüm noktası olur; onunla olan ilişkileri, onların kendi içsel dünyalarına dair sorgulamalarına ve değişimlerine yol açar Karakterlerin kişisel gelişimleri ve karşılaştıkları zorluklar, Han el-Halili'nin karmaşık ve canlı atmosferi içinde yankı bulur. Bu mekân, sadece bir arka plan olarak kalmaz, hikâyenin dokusuna işleyerek kahramanların kaderinde belirleyici bir rol oynar; Mahfuz, Han el-Halili'nin dar sokakları, çarşısı ve insanları ile karakterlerin iç dünyalarını ustalıkla harmanlamıştır.

توثق هذه الدراسة من خلال نقوش المسكوكات لنشأة الدولة الإخشيدية؛ وذلك في فترتها الأولى، التي ازدهرت فيها، واستقلت على يد مؤسسها محمد بن طغج (الإخشيد)، ذلك من خلال رصد ودراسة المسكوكات التي ضربها الإخشيد منذ توليه ولاية مصر سنة 323هـ، ثم إعلان استقلاله من خلال ما نقشه على المسكوكات بداية من سنة 328هـ، وأخيراً توسعه وسيطرته على بلاد الشام، وإعلان نفوذه من خلال المسكوكات التي ضربها في: مصر، ودمشق، وفلسطين، وطبرية، ومكة، وقد تتبعت الدراسة تسجيل الإخشيد لاسمه، ونسبه، ولقبه على مسكوكاته، واختياره للأجزاء المهمة في القطع النقدية لتسجيل ذلك عليها في محاولة لأبرزاه ولفت انتباه المتعاملين بهذه المسكوكات؛ حيث سجّل ذلك بأكثر من طريقة، مثل: (محمد بن طغج)، (بالله / محمد / بن طغج)، (لله / الأمير / الإخشيد)، (بالله / الإخشيد / ينتصر)، (الإخشيد)، وقد مثلت هذه المسكوكات المراحل التي سار عليها الإخشيد، ومثلت سياسته التي تطورت إلى أن استطاع إنشاء دولة قوية اشتهرت بلقبه (الدولة الإخشيدية).
The paper utilizes coins Inscriptions to document the establishment of the Ikhshidid Dynasty in the early period of establishment and prosperity when it gained independence thanks to the efforts of Muḥammad ibn Ṭughj (al-Ikhshīd). It tracks and studies coins minted by al-Ikhshīd from assuming the rule of Egypt in 323 AH., declaring independence via coins in 328 AH., and expanding the rule to the Levant, as demonstrated by the coins he minted in Egypt, Damascus, Palestine, Tiberias, and Mecca. The paper tracked al-Ikhshīd’s registration of his name and title on coins, especially on the important parts, to draw the attention of their users. Al-Ikhshīd registered his name and title in various forms, e.g., (Muḥammad ibn Ṭughj), (Bi'llah/ Muḥammad/ ibn Ṭughj), (Llāh/ al-'Amīr/ al-Ikhshīd), (Bi'llah/ al-Ikhshīd/ yantaṣir), and (al-Ikhshīd). These coins represented the stages of political development until al-Ikhshīd established a state named after him (i.e., the Ikhshidid Dynasty).

The article analyses multiple meanings of silence in the novel Chronicle of a Last Summer written by the contemporary Egyptian writer Yasmine El Rashidi. The paper moves beyond the understanding of silence as a mere absence of speech and considers its semantic ambiguity whose interpretation is circumstantially dependent. The silences depicted in the novel are not uniform; instead, they originate from various contexts. The article aims to identify these silences, explore their origins, and analyse their potential meanings and functions; some serve as a form of communication, others result from intentional silencing or even collective trauma. The paper focuses mostly on silences produced by people around the protagonist, either intentional or imposed, which have shaped her personality and her own take on silence, specifically her lack of coverage of the revolutionary period. Even though the protagonist's silence with regard to the 25 January Revolution can be interpreted in multiple ways including but not restricted to her profound disappointment and reluctance to revisit painful memories the article argues that it can also be viewed as an expression of dissent and resistance against the official revolutionary narrative.

2024, Desert Chronotope in Isam Rasem's Novel African Dance

This research is dedicated to an analysis of the desert chronotype in Issam Rassem’s novel African Dance. The aim of the article is to determine the role and functions of the desert space-time in the artistic structure of the work, its influence on plot development and character formation. The object of the study is the novel African Dance, while the subject is the peculiarities of the desert chronotope’s realisation in the text and its interrelation with other elements of the work’s artistic system. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing interest in Arabic literature and postcolonial studies, as well as the insufficient exploration of Issam Rassem’s works in literary studies. The analysis of the desert chronotope allows for a deeper understanding of the novel’s artistic world and its philosophical issues, revealing the author’s style peculiarities and his place in the context of contemporary Arabic prose.
The article employs a comprehensive approach using methods of structural-semiotic, narratological and hermeneutic analysis. The theoretical foundation of the research is based on the works of M. Bakhtin, Y. Lotman, G. Genette and other scholars. Particular attention is paid to examining the symbolic meaning of the desert as a liminal space between the real and mythological worlds. The study analyses the influence of the desert chronotope on the transformation of the main character and other personages, particularly Abu Janzir, Marwan Bey and Arif al-Bishari. It explores the desert’s role in revealing the novel’s main themes: loneliness, search for identity, guilt and atonement. The research traces how the author creates a multi-layered reality through the desert chronotope, where historical time, mythological cycle and individual experiences of characters intertwine.

2024, The Image of Abu Janzir as the Embodiment of Colonial Guilt in the novel African Dance

This study examines the character of Abu Janzir in Issam Rassem’s novel African Dance as an artistic embodiment of colonial guilt. The aim of the article is to reveal the symbolic significance of this character within the postcolonial discourse and to identify its role in shaping the ideological and artistic structure of the work. The object of the research is the novel African Dance, whilst the subject is the image of Abu Janzir and the related narrative, symbolic, and ideological aspects of the work. The relevance of the research is determined by the growing interest in post-colonial studies in world literature and the need for a deeper understanding of modern Arabic literature in this vein. The analysis of the image of Abu Janzir allows for revealing the complex mechanisms of the artistic reception of the colonial past and its influence on modernity in literature. The paper employs an approach combining methods of postcolonial criticism, psychoanalytic literary studies, and narratology.

This article discusses the archaeological and textual evidence of Luxor Temple, and its early rituals, before Amenhotep III. These shreds of evidence confirm that the temple passed through several historical and archaeological phases; the oldest is often dated back to the Middle Kingdom, which witnessed the flourishing of Amun-Re, and his temple in Karnak. This was followed by the time of Ahmose I, who tried to build and renovate the buildings that were damaged by the hurricane that hit
Thebes. Shreds of evidencealso confirmthat the temple was present during the reigns of Amenhotep I, Thutmose I and II, when it was actively working. The temple reached its great development during the reign of Hatshepsut, when she linked it to her buildings in Karnak, Deir Al–Bahri, her tomb in Valley of the Kings and Medinet Habu.. It also seemed that the temple achieveda specific preferencein Thutmose III, Amenhotep II, and Thutmose IV reigns until Amenhotep III decided to renovate it. On the other hand, the evidence confirms that the old temple was first established in the sacred place that was associated with the birth of ogdoad. The temple was also associated with Opet and decade festivals. Thus, the temple acquired a historical depth, about six hundred years ago, before the reign of Amenhotep III.

Kultura już za panowania władców arabskich, potem zaś berberskich znalazła sie w głębokim zastoju, a Turcy nie byli oczywiście w stanie jej ożywić 6. 1(13)/2014 LITTERARIA COPERNICANA Porównajmy ten fragment z kilkoma, najsłynniejszymi chyba bajtami niezwykle popularnego wśród muzułmanów panegiryku pt. Al-Burda Abu Abd Allaha al-Busiriego (XIII w.) 71 : Muhammad, Pan Obu Światów, ludzi i dżinnów, wszystkich Arabów i nie Arabów. Nasz Prorok, który nakazuje dobro, a zakazuje zła, nie ma nikogo bardziej prawdomównego, kiedy mówi "nie" lub "tak". Jest Ukochanym Boga, tym, którego wstawiennictwo jest pożądane. Chroni przed każdym złem, jakie spotkać nas może w dniu śmierci. Wzywał ku Bogu tych, którzy postępowali jego drogą, trzymając się wyznaczonej przez Boga drogi. 72 Al-Akika kończy się wezwaniem do Boga: (301) O, Panie mój, który zawsze pozostajesz Litościwy! Nie pozwól, aby ci, którzy rządzą strzałami byli naszymi władcami! (302) Ześlij na nas, o Panie, szaty bezpieczeństwa! O, Dostojny, daj wodę korzeniom, aby ożył zmarły! (303) Pokój Prowadzącemu, którego kochamy gorąco, który pozwala rosnąć trawom w piaskach gorącej pustyni! Al-Akika pozostaje więc panegirykiem, opisem i modlitwą, a także świadectwem erudycji jej autora, jednoznaczną wskazówką, że choć pisze w języku zbliżonym do języka ludu, to jednak nie jest typowym poetą ludowym. Sa'id al-Mindasi jako twórca malhunu po dziś dzień jest poetą żywym, szczególnie wśród wykonawców i słuchaczy muzyki ludowej hauzi. Już w XIX wieku był legendą, o czym świadczy przypadek jednego z ówczesnych wybitnych przedstawicieli poezji malhun, Balbaja Chalida. Żeby mu to przyniosło szczęście-i pewnie podobną sławę-nadano mu przydomek Al-Mindasi 73 .

2024, Educational Administraton: Theory and Practice

This research article explores the themes of diasporic identity and the unfixed
self in Olga Tokarczuk's novels Flights and The Books of Jacob. Drawing upon
concepts of liminality, hybridity, and deterritorialization, the article examines
how Tokarczuk's characters navigate the complexities of displacement, cultural
negotiation, and the ever-shifting nature of selfhood. Through close textual
analysis, the article argues that Tokarczuk's characters embody the fluidity and
dynamism of diasporic identities, constantly challenging fixed notions of
belonging and embracing a sense of selfhood that is unmoored from singular
locations or narratives.
Keywords: Diasporic Identity, Fluid Self, Liminality, Hybridity,
Deterritorialization, Multilingualism.

The world initiated a new era with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. Education all around the globe, including Turkey, was impacted to a great extent. Both teachers and learners were required to adapt to online education within a short period of time. Although previous studies had focused on the impacts of teaching English in general for teachers and learners, studies focusing on teaching of the speaking skills online particularly in the Turkish context was absent in the literature. Therefore, the gap which was to be considered appropriate for this research is related to comprehending the perceptions and challenges EFL teachers confronted while attempting to teach the speaking skills online within the Turkish context. This article aims to have a theoretical contribution to the current research, in order to see the significance of the Turkish context, as online teaching of English speaking was to be considered beneficial for learners, as it increased confidence for the interaction.

The Arabic language is a complex, diglossic language, with varying written (fuṣḥá) and spoken ('āmmīyah) forms. While the study of mixing between fuṣḥá and 'āmmīyah in spoken Arabic has received some scholarly attention, far less attention has been paid to mixing in writing, which this study seeks to address. Badawi's (1973) landmark study of Egyptian Arabic use identified five language levels, assuming naturally that written Arabic exists as either Classical or Modern Standard Arabic, while mixing between written and spoken forms is reserved as a feature of Educated Spoken Arabic (ESA), despite the proliferation of mixed literary works by renowned writers such as Tawfiq al-Hakim, Yusuf Idris and Yusuf Sibai at the time. Since Badawi's (1973) study, studies of mixed Arabic have centred around ESA (Eid, 1988; Bassiouney, 2006), uncovering to some extent the type and degree of, and motivations for, mixing, which have been used as a backdrop for the examination of mixed writing in this study. More recently, Høigilt & Mejdell (2017), Mejdell (2014), Ibrahim (2010), and Rosenbaum (2000) have identified occurrences of mixing in written Arabic. The aim of this study therefore, is to take a holistic view of Arabic writing, across different times and media, towards establishing a theoretical framework for Egyptian Arabic writing, including fuṣḥá, 'āmmīyah and socalled 'mixed' forms. The catalyst for this study, as well as for the proliferation of mixed and 'āmmīyah writing, has been the expansion of the internet and the rapid increase in online writing. For Arabic at least, the Arab Spring and social media within it, have played an important role in the widespread use of 'āmmīyah in writing, which this study aims to place within the wider context of Arabic writing.- !-v Table of Contents Acknowledgements iii ..

Modern Mısır edebiyatında anlatı türünün hem batılı forma kavuşması hem de içerik olarak yerel renklerine bürünmesi için gösterilen çaba hikâye sanatında olduğu gibi romanın doğuşunda da etkili olmuştur. Hikâye sanatının ana çizgilerine kavuşmasında önemli bir isim olan Mahmûd Teymûr (1894-1973) 1930'lu yıllardan itibaren yazdığı analitik gerçekçi hikâyelerle Mısır halkının sadece fotoğrafını çekmekle kalmamış modernitenin toplumsal yapıda meydana getirdiği değişimin aile ve birey üzerindeki etkisine de işaret etmiştir. Az sayıda roman kaleme alan Teymûr'un Selvâ fî Mehebi'r-Rîh (Rüzgârda Savrulan Selvâ, 1944) adlı romanı bireyin kişilik gelişiminde etkili olan genetik özelliklerle aile ve çevrenin etkisine odaklanan, böylelikle toplumsal yapının değişimindeki temel faktörleri irdeleyen önemli bir yapıttır. Sanayi devrimi sonrası yeni bir disiplin olarak karşımıza çıkan sosyolojinin Batı toplum yapısına odaklanmasına benzer şekilde Mısır'da değişimin yaşandığı süreçte bireyi kuşatan faktörleri etüt eden bu eser değişime doğru bir rota çizmenin ip uçlarını da içermektedir. Roman bu çerçevede değerlendirilecek ve söz konusu dönemde toplumsal yapıdaki sorunsallara işaret edilecektir.

During the past decade, the Egyptian literary scene witnessed the rise of dystopian novels. Even though the emergence of this genre stems mainly from the overall socio-political conditions and the general atmosphere of oppression in the country, this phenomenon has often been interpreted in terms of the disappointing results of the 25th January revolution in 2011. Since dystopias generally paint a bleak picture of society, they are often believed to reflect a rather pessimistic view of their authors. However, according to R. Baccolini and T. Moylan's theory of critical dystopia, a utopian impulse and hope for better tomorrows can be preserved in dystopias through an open ending. While knowledge of history together with access to personal and collective memories and gaining control over means of language all play a crucial role in dystopian resistance against the hegemonic order and its narratives, it is the absence of closure that opens up the possibility for the opposition to succeed. The aim of this paper is to analyse two contemporary critical dystopias from Egypt, namely Aḥmad Nājī's Istikhdām al-ḥayāt and Basma ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz's al-Ṭābūr, with regard to Baccolini and Moylan's theory and to show how the absence of closure in these literary works can help defy the oppressive system. Since an open ending invites readers to finish the story on their own, it can even call them to action. That being the case, the paper argues that these critical dystopias are at their very heart not as pessimistic and defeatist as first impressions might suggest.

This article aims to explore how Bharati Gautam's collection of memoirs Vigata ra Baduli [Past and Hiccups] exhibits the formation of a diasporic self. The text connects the Nepali American writer with both of her homeland (Nepal) and hostland (the USA). Dean Smyer Yu's theorization of diasporic selfhood and identity guides the analysis. Yu argues that the people who consciously choose to make their new home in the diaspora work for their self-making and place making that ultimately manifests their transnational and trans local mode of being. Their identity develops as a hybrid one because of the admixture of the culture, emotion, thought pattern and practicality from both the lands. Gautam's memoirs present the same tendency of her growth in the America for about four decades. Her identity is constantly in the making and so she goes on modifying her life and thoughts to adapt in the new land. She gradually develops a diasporic consciousness that helps her accept the differences between the homeland and hostland life as a transnational individual. Finally, her family evolves a cosmopolitan consciousness. This article will contribute to the study of the making of the diasporic self the Nepali people have been undergoing for long.

Arab Bedouin communities have long been a subject of analysis by Oriental scholars. There has been a great tendency to exoticize the Bedouin man, and particularly the Bedouin woman. A custom often overlooked and misunderstood is the significance of the ideology of "asil" or "pure blood." It was as important to keep the family's blood line "pure" as it was to maintain the horse's, or mare's, breeding. When Bedouin women occupy the same space as the mare, is this utter objectification of their bodies, or perhaps, is there a huge value placed on the woman? The mare's significance has also been present in some works of literature. The Tent, by Miral al-Tahawy, presents us with a protagonist, Fatima, who loses her mare to a foreign Orientalist in exchange for her education. With the mare's loss comes Fatima's loss of self, identity, and eventual descent into madness. The mare is significant to Bedouin culture, and it is this contact with the colonizer that threatens the culture and the psyche. This paper will combine both cultural ideologies, as well as attempt a literary examination of the above mentioned work. It aims to present a new approach at looking at the significance of the mare in Bedouin culture and literature, as well as the invasion of colonialism, which does not "save" Bedouin women, but rather steals the culture.

In the title quote, Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) expresses his desire for a space that preserves Palestinian identity within a wider culture. Rather than leaving ties to Palestine behind, Darwish, like writers included in this article-Susan Abulhawa, Hala Alyan, Randa Jarrar, and Naomi Shihab Nye, to name a fewputs his homeland within a framework of diasporic space. Similarly, Rana Barakat views exile as both an individual "shipwreck" and a communal journey, a stance that reflects intersectional feminist values. Negotiating "the isolation of the individual within our shared collective condition," Barakat offers what Anna Ball terms a "transnational feminist approach". She joins a larger body of post 1948 writers who construct what the "poet of witness" Caroline Forché calls "assembled communities", groups of friends who, she says, are "varied in the universe" but come together via various kinds of communication in order to discuss common issues. This article seeks to explore a variety of transformative dialogues which transcend difference by standing together for justice, equality, and peace. How might feminist writers and activists negotiate a balance between connecting to their homeland but also recognize the potential that arises from the transnationalism of Avtar Brah's concept of "diasporic space?" As a place marked by hybridity, where tradition is continually transformed, this theoretical concept addresses the confluence of migrating populations, capital, commodities and culture. This article also builds on Steven Salaita's Inter/Nationalism: Decolonizing Native America and Palestine (2016), a work that explores how such dialogues across borders offer a viable means of resistance. As Cynthia Franklin, editor of Biography's special issue "Life in Occupied Palestine" (2014), notes, while sumoud (steadfastness) is a Palestinian tradition, it gains strength when Palestinians ally with social groups who are interconnected via various means of oppression. 1 In the title quote, Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) expresses his desire for a space that preserves Palestinian identity within a wider context (Almond Blossoms and Beyond 56).

Zeyneb Fevvâz, Arap edebiyatının modern olarak adlandırılan dönemine katkıları çok fazla olan bir yazardır. Lübnan doğumlu olan Fevvâz, ilmî ve edebî ürünlerini Mısır ve Suriye 'de vermiştir. Fevvâz'ın matbu olan eserleri; biri tiyatro olmak üzere, iki roman, bir divan, bir biyografi çalışması ve bir de çeşitli gazetelerde kaleme aldığı makalelerinin bir araya getirilmiş olduğu risaleler şeklinde sıralanmaktadır. Onun en meşhûr eseri tarihte ön plana çıkan kadınların hayat hikâyelerine yer verdiği biyografi türündeki "ed-Durr'ul-Mensûr fî Tabakâti Rabbâti'l-Hudûr" adlı çalışmasıdır. Yazarın modern Arap edebiyatının teşekkülünde kaleme almış olduğu çalışmaların çoğu, modern Arap edebiyatında bilinen ilkleri değiştirecek cinstendir. Zeyneb Fevvâz Arap edebiyatında ilk piyes kaleme alan kadın yazar olmasının yanında modern Arap edebiyatının ilk roman örneğini veren kişi ve kadının eğitimi bağlamında kalemiyle mücadele veren ilk aktivisttir. Yazarın kadının eğitimi meselesini ele alış biçimi onunla çağdaş olan yazarların pek çoğundan farklılık göstermektedir. Yazar bu meseleye tamamen batılı bir bakış açısıyla değil de İslâmî çizgide olması gereken ilkeler doğrultusunda bakmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı meçhûl ön cü yazarlar arasında zikredilen Zeyneb Fevvâz'ın hayatı ve çalışmalarını edebiyat sahasına tanıtmak ve teşekkkül aşamasında modern Arap edebiyatına yaptığı katkılara hak ettiği itibarı kazandırmaktır.

Our view towards Covid-19 is not far from being scary and scary. This causes our physical and psychological conditions to be disrupted so that it hampers all the activities we used to do before this pandemic emerged.

The theorists vary in their conceptualizations of diaspora and cultural identity of immigrants. Broadly speaking, the theorizations of diaspora can be categorized into four different groups with their focus on diverse aspects of immigrants' lives. The first classical phase describes the forced migration of immigrants including victimhood diaspora of Jewish, Africans and Armenians. The second conceptualization incorporates historical, cultural and social diversities of people living in the diaspora. Critiquing the second phase, the third group of theorists deconstructs bipolar notions of the home and host country, and celebrates the inconsistencies, and fluidities of immigrants' identities in diasporic third space. In contrast, the fourth conceptualizations emphasizes on relevance of the origin and historical exploitation of people of poor countries. Both the historical experiences and present negotiations play decisive roles in the formation of cultural identity of immigrants. The present article briefly reviews different conceptualizations of the diaspora and cultural identity of immigrants.

The collection of seven short stories Qamīṣ al-ṣūf (The Woollen Shirt) by the Lebanese writer Tawfīq Yūsuf ʿAwwād (1911-1989), published in 1938, testifies to the modernization of Arabic literature immediately after the period of Nahḍah. Writing about the period after the First World War, as Lebanon went through a time of severe crisis, ʿAwwād offers his reader seven stories embodying various contemporary contexts and from different points of view: the Lebanese village, city and rural society, the difficult role of women in work and family, and finally the tragedies of the poorest families. This volume is the first full translation of a collection of Awwād's short stories into a Western language.

Kendisini, Türk edebiyatı içinde konumlamış, ‘roman’ sanı ile sunan ve Hz. Peygamber (S.A.V.)’in hayatını konu edinen, 2000-2015 arasında yayımlanmış romanlarla sınırlayan bu çalışmada; 12 roman incelenerek, siyer konularının roman türünde yazılışından kaynaklanan problematiklerden hareketle, Hazreti Peygamber’in tasavvur ediliş biçimleri tasnif edilmiş, fişlenmiş ve bu tasavvurlarda günümüz bakış açılarının tesiri, eleştirel bakış açısıyla okunmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonunda, romanlarda yer alan peygamber tasavvurlarının, geleneğin kaynaklık ettiği anlayışların dışına çıkamadığı fakat, romanın zorunlu gördüğü kurgusal düzen içinde gerek Hazreti Peygamber (S.A.V.)’e gerekse onun arkadaşlarına dair yeni, modernist...

Felsefedeki pozitivizmin edebiyattaki karşılığı olan realizm, 19. yüzyıl ortalarında Fransa'da romantizme tepki olarak doğar. Realizm, en geniş anlamıyla çevreyi, toplumu ve insanı olduğu gibi esere yansıtmaktır. Öncelikle Batı romanında kendini gösteren bu anlayış, Tanzimat dönemi ile birlikte Türk edebiyatını da etkisi altına alarak roman türünde gelişim gösterir. Recaizade Mahmud Ekrem'in Araba Sevdası romanı ilk realist roman olarak kabul edilir. Yükselişini sürdüren realizm, Cumhuriyetin ilânından sonra da Türk edebiyatında Millî Mücadele'nin akabinde meydana gelen yeni cemiyeti ve buna dair dinamikleri okuyucuya aktarabilmek için yazarlar tarafından tercih edilir. Bu dönemin sanatkârlarından biri de Reşat Nuri Güntekin olup yazarın 1946 yılında yayımladığı Miskinler Tekkesi romanı, realizmin dramatik bir örneğidir. Bu çalışma söz konusu romanı realizmin edebiyattaki ilke ve nitelikleri bakımından incelemeyi amaçlar.

For the purpose of this thesis, I feel it important to be forthcoming with my own subject position, and my connection to the research. Raised as a Coptic Orthodox Christian, I unfortunately always knew that my sexuality would never be reconciled with my cultural background and with my religious upbringing. Born in Toronto, my parents immigrated to Canada from Egypt, and I identify as a first-generation Egyptian-Canadian. While I tried hiding my sexuality from my family and the community for a number of years, it became clear that the articulation of both my Arabness and my sexuality was non-normative and non-conforming. Almost two years ago before writing this thesis I was outed by social media (Twitter), the one place I felt that I had the liberty to be open and follow queer organizations and human rights campaigns from around the world. This is where my father found out my association with queerness, and confirmed what had been unspoken and ignored for many years. I was kicked out and disowned by my family unit and abandoned by my cultural community, losing the friends I once had. The common theme that reoccurred was that I was disgracing the family, and that my parents had immigrated to Canada for a better life for their children, one they did not see in queer identity.

The objective of this study is to show that by deterritorializing this national subsistence, the exiles encounter inescapable enigmas of deterritorialization which are difficult to comprehend. Fixed origins come into question, homes become provisional and identities fluid. The deterritorialized flux which they encounter in the resettlement phase leaves the people in limbo. The spatial dislocation alters the platitudinous concept of home into a mere imaginary construct. Tarar's Lenin for Sale probes deep into the lives of Pakistani characters whose confrontation with the consumerist dystopia goads them to reconfigure their lives by submitting to the capital. After the dismantling of their ideological leanings, they feel increasingly nostalgic for their native land. They return for the love of their land but it refuses to recognize them due to their exposure to the foreign land. The present study is supported by theoretical confluence of Edward Said and Avtar Brah who critique the fixed origins and study home and exile both materially and metaphorically. The findings of this study show that the exiles suffer from the baffling aftermaths of deterritorialization when various notions of home are questioned.

Scythians nomadic tribes penetrated the integrity and simplicity of the Greek presence along the northern coast of the Black Sea from the seventh century BC. For there were no obstacles, hindrances, or borders limiting the movement of the Scythians in the lands of the Greeks by peaceful or non-peaceful means for tens of years, which is what gave birth to the formation of the Greek Kingdom of the Bosporus in the fifth century to include all the Greeks in one entity. This is to rely on organization and economy in the face of the danger of scattering and frenzy of the Scythian nomads on their rural entities. This led to the effectiveness and vitality of the Scythian and Greek levels to a large extent. This study seeks, through the analytical inductive method, to reveal the phases and the extent of the relationship of the Scythian threat to the Bosporan Greeks until the second century BC in the northern Black Sea square.
