Asylum On The Prairie, Christain Smith

History Hawks: A North Dakota History Zine

Asylum on the Prairie is a short history zine that examines the rise, abuse, and eventual reform of the Jamestown State Hospital, revealing the contradictions at the heart of early American asylums--institutions founded on care but shaped by neglect and stigma. Tracing the hospital from its 1885 opening through the 1937 scandal and later deinstitutionalization, it highlights how systemic failures persisted until public outrage forced change. Ultimately, the zine reflects on Jamestown as a cautionary example of how vulnerable populations can be failed without accountability and humane oversight.

Psychology Faculty Publication Series

What is happening in the world today and why? Humanity is evolving its consciousness at individual and collective levels. Given these seemingly tumultuous times, as of this writing (January 2026), to make such a statement may sound like a strange thing to say. However, I suggest that if you are alive today and if you are reading these words, these are the very times for which you were born--to assist Humanity as it evolves its consciousness with your unique gifts, whatever they may be. That is, this period of our individual and collective human being-ness may be characterized as an …

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya

Within this context, the present study investigates how NBC News represents Law Enforcement Authorities in reporting the Debanhi Escobar case and how such representations construct moral and institutional evaluations. This study applies Fairclough’s Dialectical Relational Approach (DRA) to examine the relationship between textual strategies, social practices, and power relations embedded in media discourse. …

Using a descriptive qualitative case-study approach, the research draws on in depth interviews with musicians (pengrawit), scholars, distributors, and listeners, supported by observations of recording environments, patterns of online circulation, archival sources, and indicators of platform based distribution. The findings indicate that …

Time And Its Variations, Massira Serhir

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Numerous expressions relating to time underline the intentional character of man for grasping and controlling this phenomenon. However, despite the multiplicity and heterogeneity of these attempts, this notion remains as complex, diverse and often insufficiently defined. Moroccan Arabic offers two types of words of time: those characterized by their semantic uniqueness and others, on the other hand, which enjoy a semantic extension that goes from the most precise, from the most determined to the least determined. The purpose of this analysis is to highlight the impact of the human dimension in the semantic interpretation of linguistic expressions of time in …

Visual Arts In Morocco: Field, Production, Reception, Ratib Soujaa

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Adopting a sociology-of-art perspective, this article examines the formation of the visual arts field in Morocco by linking historical, social, cultural, political, and economic dimensions. It traces the emergence of modern painting during the Protectorate, the institutionalization of training (the Tetouan and Casablanca art schools), successive generations of artists and aesthetic ruptures, and then focuses on mediation (galleries, education, collecting, criticism, the state, and cultural policies). Using the concepts of ‘field’ and ‘mediation,’ the paper highlights relations among producers, specialists, audiences, and holders of cultural/economic capital, as well as structural deficits (museums, professional collectors, sustained programs) that shape visibility and …

Women's Novels In Morocco: A Struggle For Identity And Voice, Rachid El Kourri

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

In Morocco, the word « hchouma » which summarizes the stifling mechanisms of a misogynist society explains, in part, the great delay that the writers made before speaking and appropriating the theme of the woman who has remained a long time « Grabbed » by the novelists-men. In the name of the marginalized, submissive and servile woman, the feminine novel often becomes feminist to question the traditions, the conveniences and the customs which make the misery of the woman in « the land of Islam ».
