Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Three women narrate their lives in French, the colonist's language, instead of in Arabic, their mother tongue. They pay homage to their families in order to rid themselves of guilty and revengeful feelings. In Les saisons de passage and Le bonheur a la queue glissante, Andree Chedid and Abla Farhoud express their love for an absent mother, who represents both the rebellious and submissive arabic woman. In La prisonniere, Malika Oufkir denounces the king's injustice for having condemned Oufkir's family for life and General Oufkir to death because he attempted a military putch against Hassan II. These three stories …

Itinéraires Spatio-Temporels: Exil, Nomadisme, Diaspora Chez Nancy Hudson, Régine Robin Et Émile Ollivier, Joëlle Vitello

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In this essay, I explore various dimensions of theoretical terms such as exile, nomadism, diaspora, and border. These terms have a temporal and spatial dimension. They are not equivalent to each other and they generate different kinds of identity narratives. In fact, in their strict definitions, as John Durham Peters demonstrates, they oppose each other. Yet, in contemporary texts, fiction and non- fiction, regardless of the individual experiences portrayed, they are also often intertwined. It is the complex mobility of the terms that define the fields of research associated with migration, literary or not, that I render apparent in the …

La Poésie Comme Terre D'Asile Dans L'Œuvre De Tahar Bekri, Sonia Lee

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In this essay, I propose to examine how in Tahar Bekri's poetry, the theme of exile is gradually negated through the poetic universe of the poet, thus acting as a replacement for the loss of the motherland.

Paul (Smaïl) Et Le Loup: De La Carna Comme Un Des Beaux-Arts, Mireille Rosello

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Since the publication of Vivre me tue in 1997, Paul Smaïl's published statements about the necessity for a "Beur" writer to protect his dignity and his freedom behind a pseudonym have generated a significant layer of metafiction which this essay proposes to examine. An analysis of Smaïl's different types of narrative accounts will help us elucidate the cultural and literary effects produced by the writer's strategy.

Re-Bonjour À La Négritude: La Question De La «Race» Dans Un Roman Des Années 90, L'Impasse De Daniel Biyaoula, Lydie Moudileno

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

While it had somewhat disappeared as a central preoccupation in recent African fiction, the issue of "race" comes up in a striking way in Daniel Biyaoula's first novel, L 'impasse. Published in 1996, L'impasse sets out to expose through the eye of a rather cynical first-person narrator the neurotic nature of postcolonial subjects' relation to his/her racialized origin. Focusing on the body as a site of authenticity or alienation, the novel can be read as a contemporary and creative version of the "Black experience" as Franz Fanon theorized it almost half a century before in Black Skin White Masks. This …

Traversée De L'Angoisse Et Poétique De L'Espoir Chez Malika Mokeddem, Margot Miller

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

Psychological detachment is often presented as an exile from which there is no return. The works of Malika Mokeddem illustrate the lack of social support for psychic space of the individual who passes through anxiety and ends in psychological detachment. This article proposes to show, in L 'interdite and N'zid, how Mokeddem affirms nevertheless hope for recovery from this state. It also demonstrates the link between hope and mobility of the body, as well as of words, which must cross the spaces of anxiety in order to find community and the "inestimable freedom" (L'interdite, p. 132) that support and permit …

Voies Et Champs Du Feu Dans L'Œuvre Romanesque De Farjallah Haïk, Georges Khoriaty

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

In the fiction of Farjallah Hark, fire and heat constitute distinguished means of expression in various fields. In his conception of fire, there is an intermingling between what is natural and what is social; good and evil are both employed, and a group of complexes are formed, such as the Promethee complex, the Empedocle complex, or the Novalis complex. Fire, in the view of Ha'ik, has several forms: sexual fire which moves the body instinct; cathartic or purgatorial fire which allows the sublimation of inclinations, and the rebellious fire which destroys all that is fixed in man, and the fire …

The Re-Cognition Of Being's Infrastructure As Self-Completion, Herbert Guenther

International Journal of Transpersonal Studies

Wholeness as indivisible and the human being's connectedness with it are the abiding themes

of the Buddhist experience-rooted and process-oriented thinking that goes by the name of

rDzogs-chen. From its basically holistic point of view, the human being is a sub-whole,

similar to a variation on a musical theme. From another point of view, however, based on

the confusion of a compacted (and hence de-compactable) totality with wholeness, the human

being is seen as being a reality that is internally divided and feels uncertain about who/

what he really is. Together, the intolerable feelings of being divided and uncertain cause …

Space Time Event Motion (Stem) – A Better Metaphor And A New Concept, Joseph Naimo

Philosophy Papers and Journal Articles

The content of this paper is primarily the product of an attempt to understand consciousness by working through the Gestell - conventionalised epistemology, at least some of several foundational concepts. This paper indirectly addresses the ancient question: “How is objective reference – or intentionality, possible? How is it possible for one thing to direct its thoughts upon another thing?” (Chisholm, 1981:1) As such, I have adopted a holistic methodology; one in which I develop a framework based on a form of process philosophy and descriptive emergentism (1). Many of the problems associated within the philosophy of mind arise because of …

Ningyo: Destined For The Trash Can?, Anita Y.K. Davis

All Volumes (2001-2008)

Japanese Ningyo (dolls) are static art, individual sculptures and expressions of creativity. This paper explores the loss of these wonderful works of art. While western dolls fetch high prices and are highly sought after if even a few decades old, we explore the destination of most ningyo as they fail to be recognized or preserved. Particularly the dolls fashioned by women to decorate their homes, as their beauty fades they are set aside. What has happened to them? What is taking their place as globalization is changing the decorating desires of the Japanese?

Law Talk: Speaking, Writing, And Entering The Discourse Of Law, Susan L. Dejarnatt

Duquesne Law Review

The author suggests talking about the legal writing process with first-year legal research and writing students, as they are learning and actively writing, and advocates for students' experiencing "being the audience" of legal writing, as part of their education. This Article reviews three academic schools of thought regarding the relationship between speech and writing. This Article argues for change in the typical legal writing pedagogy, meaning more student interaction and teacher intervention, to effectively enable students to engage in discourse communities of law.

Direct Democracy And Civic Maturation, Alan Hirsch

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Should American government make greater use of "direct democracy," whereby citizens make laws through plebiscites? Roughly half the states utilize some form of direct democracy, and there is an ongoing debate over whether this form of lawmaking should be introduced in other states and even to the federal government. Many of the arguments against direct democracy are unconvincing, but advocates of direct democracy have not made a sufficiently compelling argument on its behalf. This article explores a new argument for direct democracy - that it is necessary to promote the civic maturation of America's polity. The founders considered a virtuous …

Chemical Claims Drafting After Lubrizol, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 207 (2002), Caroline Frances Barry

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In Exxon Chemical Patents, Inc. v. Lubrizol Corp. and its companion decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that a chemical composition claimed in an ingredient-based form is not infringed when there is interaction between the ingredients after they have been combined so as to later either their quantity or their chemical form. This article discusses the impact of the decisions on chemical drafting of chemical inventions. The author argues that the decisions were wrongly decided. Furthermore, the author proposes an amendment to the Patent Act to allow ingredient-based claiming to continue to be used and …
