Les Transferts De La Littérature Occidentale. Alibis Culturels Ou Réception D’Archétypes ?, Michel Serceau

Regards

During the entire 20th century, dozens of Western literary works and plays were adapted to the Egyptian screen in hundreds of films.
The Western works adapted by Egyptian filmmakers were chosen because of the universal aspect of the archetypes and social issues at the heart of these, and because of their dramatic – even melodramatic – appeal in the eyes of the viewers.
Film directors preferred to adapt novels that were not deeply committed to a social and realist ideology, while still drawing the high esteem enjoyed by literature towards cinema, which, in its infancy, was a practice in search …

Du Roman « Zeth » Au Feuilleton « Bint Ismaha Zeth » Ou Le Traitement De L’Histoire Dans Une Adaptation Télévisuelle Égyptienne, Ramla Ayari Charif

Regards

The issue of adapting literary works for television has only recently begun to arouse researchers’ interest. Egypt, the leading country in television production and the imagining of literary works on television across the Arab world, witnessed a new lease of life from 2011 to 2014.
The TV series Bint ʾismaha Zeth, produced in 2013 by Kamla Abouzekri and Khairy Beshara, is a striking illustration of the phenomenon.
Adapted from the novel Zeth written by Sonallah Ibrahim, the TV fiction retraces, through the story of its heroine, the history of Egypt from 1952 to 2011.

Symbolique Et Oblicité Politique Dans Deux Adaptations Égyptiennes Du Comte De Monte-Crist, Randa Sabry

Regards

After exploring the diversity of the elements borrowed from The Count of Monte Cristo by the two adaptations of Henri Barakat – Amir al-intiqam and Amir al-dahaa – this article analyzes the way they work towards their own coherence through a cultural acclimatization on different levels and by the grafting of a subplot with political implications in line with the social context of 1950s and 1960s Egypt.
Far from accomplishing only his own revenge, the hero is led, in the wake of a political prisoner, to join the sphere of rebellion against the representative of tyranny and to prepare for …

Une Femme D’Égypte Du Papier À L’Écran : Adapter « Les Années De Zeth » Après La Révolution, Thomas Richard

Regards

By adapting Sonallah Ibrahim’s Zaat, the eponymous TV show deeply transforms the original novel, unfolding new meanings for the viewer in the context of post-revolutionary Egypt.
Through a comparative analysis of the novel and the TV show, this study intends to understand how the show offers a portrait of Egyptian society and a portrait of a woman that are inscribed within the renewal of the political gaze Egyptian society develops on herself.
Simultaneously, this gaze questions how gender relations are brought to the screen, and how they are linked to social and national issues.

Stylistics is said to be dead in the year sixty-nine nine hundred despite the attempts keep it alive.

Landscapes: the Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language

This article recounts the history to date of the Dancing Between Two Worlds (DBTW) project, which was initiated by a team of artist-scholars at Deakin University in 2018. DBTW’s brief was to engage the Indian community living in the western fringes of Melbourne in a project on civic belonging, cross-cultural artistic identity, and the performance of outer-suburban Indian diaspora. Working with the creative and community energies that are activated at the intersection of the creative arts and demographically inflected place, the Deakin researchers collaborated with local artists with an Indian background on a major performance in late 2019: …

672 Years Of Plague: Reconquest, The Last Dream Of King Alfonso Xi Of Castile: Hermeneutics Of A Play, Jose Sarzi Amade

Theses and Dissertations

The proposed work here is a literary creation: a play accompanied by a critical study on it. The work (second part) introduces us to characters that thanks to the contest of the dream dimension - the invention of the last dream of the King of Castile, Alfonso XI - make a trip in the future. They flee from the medieval plague of 1348, sail to the unknown and meet, after crossing the Atlantic Ocean, in 2020, in dystopia. Things are deteriorating and navigators end up being expelled from this place. The framework of the play was built around stories of …

Emmie And The Enchanted Orchid: Portraying Positive Disability Representation In Children's Media, Adrianna Waters

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

Disability representation in media and storytelling is often negative or inaccurate, with disability narratives equating disability to evil or lesser than abled bodies. The harmful representation is especially prevalent and dangerous in children’s media as the depiction of characters with disabilities may be children’s first introduction to disability, and thus the portrayal is likely to stay with them, especially as stories for adults continue to perpetuate the inaccurate representation of disabilities. “Emmie and the Enchanted Orchid”: Portraying Positive Disability Representation in Children’s Media seeks to examine the harmful portrayal of disabilities in children’s media while also recognizing how disability can …

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Beholding a comic is ideally, a pleasure. The work informs, entertains and stimulates the mind in some way. There is no gainsaying which works will affect which beholders howsoever it does, yet the expecta­tion of pleasure from a work of comics makes behold­ers seek it. Making the comic is also a pleasure, even if the process can be long-winded, winding and dif­ficult. The maker wants to give others the same plea­sure they drew from beholding comics, but in their way, making their vision of Batman, Lieutenant Blue­berry or, their own story worlds. What this research seeks to explain are many …

Rainbow Writes: Peer-Led Creative Writing Groups’ Potential For Promoting 2slgbtq+ Youth Wellbeing, Ceilidh Harrison

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Though mainstream acceptance for the 2SLGBTQ+ community is on the rise, elevated risks of mental health challenges still pervade this community, particularly for youth growing up in this changing environment. Based on previous literature citing the benefits of creative interventions and youth autonomy, the current study sought to explore the implementation of an online, peer-led creative writing program as a possible means to increase emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing in 2SLGBTQ+ youth. Twenty self-identifying 2SLGBTQ+ youth from across Canada were recruited to form two 10-week, online peer-led creative writing groups titled “Rainbow Writes”. Based on Lerner et al.’s (2003) “Five …

New Poetry And Old Cathay : Translational Sinography In The Early Twentieth-Century English Literary World, Qingyang Lin

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

This thesis looks into the culture of reading, translating, and publishing classical Chinese poetry in the English literary world between the 1890s and the 1920s. It explores the mediating and constructive roles of translation (broadly construed) in the formation of knowledge about Chinese literature by focusing on an unconventional segment of the field – poet-translators who integrate Chinese poetry with the pursuit of literary modernism, whose avid experimentalism and lack of sinological credentials run counter to the fidelity principle of translation. I try to foreground the dynamism of this literary contact zone by correlating three dimensions of networks: the transtextual …

Le « Cinéma D’Auteur » De Palestine : Expérimentations, Circulations, Émancipations, Marion Slitine, Charlotte Schwarzinger

Regards

This article explores the stakes of the “cinema d’auteur” in Palestine and intends to analyze the constraints and opportunities that this cinema allows, through two case studies that question the cinematographic creation of Palestinian directors in exile. The first is a feature-length film, Recollection by Kamal Aljafari, a filmmaker from “Palestine of 48” who self-produced his film; the second, Dégradé by Arab and Tarzan Nasser, two directors from Gaza, benefited from an Arab-European co-production. While these two examples have very distinct characteristics, their comparative trajectories make it possible to raise more general questions related to the interactions between creation, production …
