“‘And Númenor Went Down Into The Sea’: Tolkien, Beowulf, And The Masochistic Jouissance Of Westernesse”, Christopher Vaccaro

Journal of Tolkien Research

In Tolkien, Enchantment and Loss, John Rosegrant avers that Tolkien wrote of the downfall and destruction of Númenor in order to release a personal emotional complex (John Rosegrant, Tolkien, Enchantment, and Loss, 118-20). In this essay, I examine in greater detail the emotional power of this story and relate it to the psychological notion of primary masochism (Freud, Deleuze, Bersani) and the pleasures connected to the dissolution of the self. The Beowulf poem renders conspicuous the dependency of heroic Anglo-Saxon male subjectivity on experiences of masochistic desire and the Death Drive, the desire to be unburdened of great …

Shan Song Xiao: English Edition, Xifu, Jane Li, Paul Royster

Zea E-Books Collection

This book describes the family story of three generations of daughters over the past century, starting from the grandmother to the mother, and then to the daughter. They lived overlapping lives, but each follows a different life path in different eras with different main themes. As time flies and life rushes by, they look back on the past and document their lives.

The story travels from a rural village in Northeast China to an overcrowded modernized metropolis. It unfolds against a backdrop of invasion and occupation, liberation, collectivization and famine, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and the emergence …

Elmar, Aerin, And Aredhel: Female Enslavement In Tolkien’S Legendarium, Clare Moore

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Argues that Elmar, Aerin, and Aredhel’s narratives convey experiences of female enslavement. Understanding these characters as enslaved reveals the violent nature of their experiences, necessitating an interpretation of their relationships with their husbands/enslavers as sexual assault. Their narratives reveal patterns within the legendarium connecting beauty and violence. However, these three stories also demonstrate Tolkien’s interest in portraying this kind of story and its value to the legendarium. These narratives offer a unique female perspective on loss and lived experience within the legendarium.

Al- Iddah Between Shari’A And Medical Sciences, Mohamad Kilani, Bashar Ejel

Al Jinan الجنان

This study addresses a significant issue in Sharia: the concept of Iddah (the waiting period for a Muslim woman). There are numerous questions regarding its legality, necessity, and the wisdom behind it. Scholars often explain that its primary purpose is to establish the lineage of a newborn and prevent lineage confusion. This study aims at determining whether the rulings of Iddah are based on logical reasoning or if they are purely devotional without apparent rationale. Additionally, it examines the argument for disregarding Iddah provisions when lineage can be confirmed through DNA testing and based on a man's marital imprint. The …

Cloaking The Front National: Marine Le Pen, Femininity, And The Evolution Of A ‘New’ European Far-Right, Taryn M. Blecher

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

From the Front National to the Rassemblement National, Marine Le Pen has done what was once inconceivable in bringing France’s far-right into mainstream politics. The daughter of Le Diable (the devil), Marine Le Pen has ushered in a ‘new’ European rightwing populism—far from the Männerparteien of the past—with her femonationalism and media politics. This paper aims to increase our understanding of Marine Le Pen’s iteration of French nationalism and illusions of femininity. Through a series of illustrative case studies and supporting research, I reveal how Le Pen manipulates her sexuality and womanhood in an attempt to soften the crude image …
