Narrating Egyptian Women’S Prison Experiences - El Saadawi And Bakr, Nour El Captan
Narrating Egyptian Women’S Prison Experiences - El Saadawi And Bakr, Nour El Captan
The Undergraduate Research Journal
The research attempts to discover what Egyptian women prisoners’ experience was like in the 1980s and 90s through studying two major texts which fall under the genre of prison literature: Twelve Women in a Cell by Nawal El Saadawi and The Golden Chariot by Salwa Bakr. Through a thorough reading and analysis of the works, similar tropes and different attitudes can be found in the texts. Both works discussed class, comradery, and the patriarchy but differences exist when it comes to their different portrayals of prison.
The Fall And Rise Of Bengali Muslim Conciousness: Conceptualising The Identity Of The Bangla Universal, Habib Khan
The Fall And Rise Of Bengali Muslim Conciousness: Conceptualising The Identity Of The Bangla Universal, Habib Khan
Theses and Dissertations
The emergence of modern-nation states saw the end of the empirical era of exploitation and exercise of inherent racist tendencies towards the 'other'. However, the effect of that colonial system is still ever-present in the creation and governance of these newly independent states. While every new state aims to be 'modern', they adopt the international legal framework of the West as their own - a system they had initially wanted to escape. The concept of Muslim universality in the form of the ummah should have freed Pakistan from the shackles of its former colonial masters. Instead, this phenomenon was replaced …
Historical Trauma: Literary And Testimonial Responses To Hiroshima, Mariam Ghonim
Historical Trauma: Literary And Testimonial Responses To Hiroshima, Mariam Ghonim
Theses and Dissertations
The concept of trauma is controversial in literature. While one may be able to come up with ways to describe trauma in fiction, representing historical trauma is a hard task for writers. Some argue that trauma can not be described through those who did not experience it, while others claim that, provided some elements are added, one can represent trauma to the reader. This thesis focuses on twentieth-century historical traumas related to a nuclear catastrophe and explores the different literary and testimonial responses to the catastrophic man-made event of Hiroshima (1945). In this thesis, Kathleen Burkinshaw’s historical fiction The Last …
Interpretatio Islamica And The Unraveling Of The Ancient Sabian Mysteries, Maurice Hines
Interpretatio Islamica And The Unraveling Of The Ancient Sabian Mysteries, Maurice Hines
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis makes some bold claims about the identity of the Qur’anic Sabians (Ṣābi’ūn) and their symbiotic relationship with various Near Eastern religions including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Thrice mentioned in the Qur’an, they clung to an ancient religion - or perhaps the most ancient – that spanned the entire Eastern hemisphere and provided not only the structural foundations of human civilizations, but also their religious, philosophical, and intellectual foundations. However, their creed had undergone a variety of changes over time including a shift in the conception of God from a personal to a transcendent deity, the worship …
A Captive’S Subjectivity, Rebeca J. Blemur
A Captive’S Subjectivity, Rebeca J. Blemur
Theses and Dissertations
The project discusses the effects of Haiti’s colonization as the space transitions from Hispaniola to Saint-Domingue and later to the free state of Haiti. This is done by studying the concept of the right to conquest and the absurdities that exist around the first appearances of international law. The project focuses on the pre-revolutionary period starting around the 1750s, the revolutionary period that began in the 1790s, the French oligarchical class’s attempt for social equality, and the war for ultimate colonial conquest between the French, Spanish, and British. The project will display how legally objectifying a human being manifests subjects …

Regulating Change In Historic Cairo, Amina Abdel-Halim
Faculty Journal Articles
Renovation and conservation projects in Historic Cairo fall within a complex legal framework, which sometimes does more to hinder development than to promote it.
The Necropolis Guard, Maya Abouelnasr
The Necropolis Guard, Maya Abouelnasr
Papers, Posters, and Presentations
A lone Necropolis guard, Hassan, decides to take a short trip to the abandoned hillside community of Qurna where his mother was from, only to find himself traveling through the ancient Egyptian underworld to make up for sins that precede his lifetime. To make it back to the land of the living, he’ll have to dodge fire-breathing serpents, survive a boiling lake, and collect offerings to present to the spirits of three nobles. But Hassan isn’t alone. A friendly, familiar face guides him as he confronts the harsh reality that his beloved grandparents possibly were not as faultless as he …
