Monénembo Or Self-Representation Through The Conative Function, Kouadio Yao Dit Ouattara Adaman Jun 2026

Monénembo Or Self-Representation Through The Conative Function, Kouadio Yao Dit Ouattara Adaman

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Winner of several literary distinctions, Tierno Monénembo has not ceased to seduce with the quality of his texts. The author adopts an iconoclastic self-representation style. The romantic nature his texts gives them a fictional background. While his fellow writers favor the first and third person pronouns to fit into their works, he prefers the second person pronoun. The lives of the individuals to whom this pronoun relates resemble, not to be mistaken, to the life of Monénembo himself. That issue makes us think that the Guinean writer uses the “you” to speak of his own being.

Fictionalization Of Louise Bourgeois, Marie Claude Hubert Jun 2026

Fictionalization Of Louise Bourgeois, Marie Claude Hubert

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

The artist Louise Bourgeois is best known for her large-scale sculptures and installations. Throughout her career, she has accompanied her works with numerous autobiographical texts. The aim of this article is to analyse the fictionalisation that Louise Bourgeois has produced, even though her work already contains a significant part of her autobiography. What can an autobiographical book say about the artist’s life when it seems that she has told everything? An examination of these fictions will reveal the richness and hybridity of this literary genre.

Pierre Michon’S Corps Du Roi: Pagan Hagiographies, Michelle Vázquez Soriano Jun 2026

Pierre Michon’S Corps Du Roi: Pagan Hagiographies, Michelle Vázquez Soriano

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Literary criticism in France experienced a new boom with the publication of Sur Racine (1963) by Roland Barthes. This author was recognized as the initiator of a new form of criticism, transforming the literary essay into a unique genre. We read in Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes (1975): “the essay is almost a novel: a novel without proper names”. In 2002, Pierre Michon published Corps du roi, a set of five essays in which he wrote the biography of writers such as Samuel Beckett, Gustave Flaubert and William Faulkner, among others. The path had been traced by Roland Barthes, it …

Roger Laporte’S Biographical Effort, Domenico Cambria Jun 2026

Roger Laporte’S Biographical Effort, Domenico Cambria

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article aims to present the work of Roger Laporte, a writer who has dedicated his life to describing the experience of writing. According to him, writing is making a link between life and the act of writing in a type of literature that he calls biography. This is not an autobiography in the traditional sense of the word where the writer mixes the daily facts of his life with their narration; on the contrary, the biography, according to Laporte, represents the writing that takes place during the life of the writer, the only fact that deserves to be told. …

George Sand, Writing About The Self While Travelling, Ana Fernandes Jun 2026

George Sand, Writing About The Self While Travelling, Ana Fernandes

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

George Sand’s travelogue published in 1841 under the title Un hiver à Majorque is now a classic of travel literature. The reader’s interest is often focused on the use of the report as a source of biographical information - not so much about the trip to Majorca as about the author’s love affair with Chopin. The present article focuses on Un hiver à Majorque as a structure of literary works, which is to be analysed with regard to the author’s treatment of the literary conventions of the French travelogue in the nineteenth century. We begin by summarising the status and …

The Translator’S Biography And The Politics Of Representation The Case Of Soviet Russia, Brian James Baer Jun 2026

The Translator’S Biography And The Politics Of Representation The Case Of Soviet Russia, Brian James Baer

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This study discusses the various and limitless potentials of representing the self. Poststructuralist approaches to the study of culture have problematized the opposition of fiction and nonfiction by emphasizing the literariness of those modes of writing that pretend to offer unmediated access to reality, that is, to present their subjects “in all the totality, there-ness, and authenticity of their being”. The seeds for that deconstructive move were sewn within literary studies by Roland Barthes, who argued that realist fiction did not present reality as it is but rather employed a variety of devices to create “l’effet de réel” (Barthes 1968). …

Life Writing Knowledge And Narrative Medicine : Creating The Transnational Self, Alfred Hornung Jun 2026

Life Writing Knowledge And Narrative Medicine : Creating The Transnational Self, Alfred Hornung

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Poetry and narration are among the most distinctive expressions of lifewriting. Poetic and narrative representations of the self, often associated with discrimination and disease, have got a psychotherapeutic effect. Ideally, collaborating agents in life- writing and narrative would produce a kind of societal knowledge with a global dimension, transcending the individual selfawareness, creating thus a framework for a would-be social integration. This paper is concerned with Audre Lorde’s poetic and narrative report on breast cancer, preceding her years in Berlin as a visiting professor in the 1980s, when her own experience as a “black lesbian poet or feminist lover” testified …

Assia Djebar’S L’Amour, La Fantasia: The Autobiographical Instance Between History And Language, Fatima Zahra El Jamri Jun 2026

Assia Djebar’S L’Amour, La Fantasia: The Autobiographical Instance Between History And Language, Fatima Zahra El Jamri

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

In 1985, Assia DJEBAR published the first part of her autobiographical quartet L’amour, la Fantasia. A polyphonic narrative wherein the author tries to capture the echoes of these voices coming from afar, from her native Algeria, from those scattered villages in the Algerian mountains. It is a story claiming to rewrite the history of Algeria intertwined with the story of the young girl and her particular relationship to the French language. This paper questions the autobiographical element in its relation to History and the French language, which the author considers a means of emancipation from the auctorial faculty of the …

Autobiographical Characteristics In Khatibi’S ‘Tattooed Memory’, Mourad El Khatibi Jun 2026

Autobiographical Characteristics In Khatibi’S ‘Tattooed Memory’, Mourad El Khatibi

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

The study discusses the main autobiographical characteristics of Abdelkébir Khatibi’s “Tattooed Memory” (1971). This novel is Khatibi’s first literary work and it is regarded by the critics as a postcolonial novel because it tackles issues such as identity, culture and language from a postcolonial perspective. Therefore, this literary work aims at proposing some answers to some questions such as the meanings of the Self and the Other within postcolonial theory and the different manifestations of both the Self and the Other. This article did not deal with this literary work as a postcolonial novel but as an autobiographical narrative. So, …

The Writing Of E. A. El Maleh; A Text At The Confluence Of Genres, Abdelkhaleq Draoui Jun 2026

The Writing Of E. A. El Maleh; A Text At The Confluence Of Genres, Abdelkhaleq Draoui

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

To achieve a full awareness of the self, and to overcome ‘writing stagnation’ in terms of form and content in post-colonial Morocco, the issue of writing has become questionable. There has been a break with the previous writings and the introduction of a new ‘’literary genre’’ with the Moroccan Francophone Edmond Amran El Maleh. This kind of writing vacillates between the writer’s rejection to limit himself to any given literary genre and the obvious presence of aspects of a group of literary genres that are similar and present at the same time in one text. This has made Edmond Amran …

Imagination, Identity And The Poetics Of Explosion In The Work Of Khair-Eddine, Mohammed Benaziz Jun 2026

Imagination, Identity And The Poetics Of Explosion In The Work Of Khair-Eddine, Mohammed Benaziz

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Abstract: In this article, we consider the question of the imaginary in literature from a poetic and anthropological perspective by trying to show the relationships between the two dimensions in the French-speaking Maghrebian text of Mohammed Khair Eddine. The notion of the imaginary sometimes intrigues, but we aim here to limit its meanings in order to channel its significance. According to Jean-Paul Sartre, the imaginary is “the projection of a mental image onto an object”. In this sense, we can understand that imagination is not reality but the relationship of an imaging consciousness to an imagined object. In the context …

Some Palestinian Autobiographies Or ‘Only Palestine Is Real, Jacqueline Jondot Jun 2026

Some Palestinian Autobiographies Or ‘Only Palestine Is Real, Jacqueline Jondot

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This paper addresses the issue of writing reality and history in the autobiographies of some Palestinian writers. These autobiographies well directly from memories which become in the hands of their writers the only viable sources to document the Palestinian history. The position of the exile allows for the making of that history. The argument here goes to make these auto/biographies/ testimonials the raison-d’etre and the embodiment of a real Palestine.

Fictionality Of Historical Narrative, Said Ghanmi Jun 2026

Fictionality Of Historical Narrative, Said Ghanmi

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

The article traces the classical characteristics of historical narrative, informing the biography, autobiography and historical writing in terms of recording external facts. Biography is the writing of the life experience of another person, while autobiography is writing one’s own experience. The article delineates the context of the historical narrative in Arabic literature, from the writing of the prophet’s biography, to its maturity. This marks the beginning of the history of the autobiography in Arabic literature history. Autobiography is writing the Self, and not as the Orientalist would claim.

The Impact Of Psychosocial Factors On The Recovery Of Upper Extremity Injuries And Trauma: A Systematic Review, Meghan Hall, Abigail Morgan, Annie Knight, Tanner Fletcher, Allison G. Freeman, Sharon M. Cosper Jun 2026

The Impact Of Psychosocial Factors On The Recovery Of Upper Extremity Injuries And Trauma: A Systematic Review, Meghan Hall, Abigail Morgan, Annie Knight, Tanner Fletcher, Allison G. Freeman, Sharon M. Cosper

Journal of Applied Disciplines

This systematic review specifically addresses the question of identifying what psychosocial factors for individuals with upper extremity conditions impact recovery. Twenty two studies were examined with four themes arising: coping limitations, anxiety/stress, depression, and kinesophobia/pain. While extensive research exists to support the presence of an impact of psychosocial factors in upper extremity rehabilitation, further research should be done to expand on these findings to include how psychosocial factors effect rehabilitation of individuals with upper extremity conditions, and application of how these relate to the field of occupational therapy and quality of life.

Exploring Psychological Traits And Feedback Strategies In Physical Therapy Providers Learning Acceptance And Commitment Therapy, Dustin Cox Jun 2026

Exploring Psychological Traits And Feedback Strategies In Physical Therapy Providers Learning Acceptance And Commitment Therapy, Dustin Cox

Journal of Applied Disciplines

Providing treatment interventions to clients with chronic pain is a complex task for any professional. Research suggests that clients with chronic pain experience declines in physical, emotional, and psychological quality of life. Client’s that have chronic pain have complex effects from dealing with this condition in their lives. Clients with chronic pain (i.e., pain lasting > three months) process pain through the emotional and reward circuitry in the brain which is different than client with acute pain. The literature base provides evidence that clients with chronic pain who receive psychologically based interventions along with physical rehabilitation have better outcomes than individuals …

Value-Chain Factors Influencing Production Volume And Gross Margin: Evidence From A Thai Dairy Processing Firm, Jiranij Jareonsawat, Aqeel Raza, Kittisak Ajariyakhajorn, Davids Makararpong, Henk Hogeveen, Chainarong Paoin, Nampueng Mesprasat, Chaidate Inchaisri Jun 2026

Value-Chain Factors Influencing Production Volume And Gross Margin: Evidence From A Thai Dairy Processing Firm, Jiranij Jareonsawat, Aqeel Raza, Kittisak Ajariyakhajorn, Davids Makararpong, Henk Hogeveen, Chainarong Paoin, Nampueng Mesprasat, Chaidate Inchaisri

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The dairy industry is vital for food security and economic stability, particularly in developing markets such as Thailand. Understanding factors related to production volume and gross margin in dairy processing firms can help inform performance and profitability considerations. Based on Porter’s value chain framework and a perception-based survey approach, this study used document reviews, in-depth interviews with 14 key informants, and an employee perception survey (n = 21) covering 74 relevant factors. Results indicated significant differences across ten activity categories for both production volume (Χ2 = 53.59, df = 9, P < 0.001) and gross margin (Χ2 = 26.89, df = 9, P < 0.001). For production volume, research and development (3.96 ± 0.66), human resources management (3.93 ± 0.63), and external factors (3.82 ± 0.82) had the highest mean perceived importance scores. For gross margin, external factors recorded the highest mean score (3.96 ± 0.81). At the factor level, the Thai government-regulated raw milk price was classified as the most important factor associated with production volume, while fuel prices were the most important factor related to gross margin. Both factors had the highest proportion of “High” and “Very High” responses (90.5%). These findings highlight the importance of aligning internal activities with external conditions within an institutional and policy context. This study provides insights into how institutional and policy constraints shape the way firm-level activities and external conditions are perceived and prioritized, and how these perceptions relate to performance in dairy processing firms in Thailand.

A Comparative Study Of Green And Cool Roof Strategies In Energy Saving And Thermal Performance In The Hot-Arid Climate Of Uae, Asma Saqer Al Blooshi Jun 2026

A Comparative Study Of Green And Cool Roof Strategies In Energy Saving And Thermal Performance In The Hot-Arid Climate Of Uae, Asma Saqer Al Blooshi

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

The climate of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is characterized by extreme hot-arid conditions, with prolonged summers, intense solar radiation, and elevated temperatures. This significantly increases the building's cooling demand. Due to the UAE's reliance on fossil fuels for electricity generation, reducing energy consumption in buildings is recognized as a strategic objective aligned with the UAE Vision for Sustainability. Roofs represent an essential element of a building's envelope, significantly influencing thermal absorption, particularly in low-rise villas featuring exposed flat concrete slabs. Consequently, roofing strategies such as cool and green roofs serve as a viable passive method to reduce cooling loads …

Civil Society Associations And The Environment, Mohamed Ali Mekouar Jun 2026

Civil Society Associations And The Environment, Mohamed Ali Mekouar

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Presented in February 1987 and written in August of the same year, this paper examines the growing role of the associative movement in environmental protection, drawing on comparative law perspectives and situating the Moroccan case within the broader context of the global rise of environmental civil society. The author analyses the growth of environmental protection associations as a manifestation of a 'daily syndicalism' and a silent participatory revolution, reflecting the crisis of representative democracy and citizens' growing need for collective engagement in defence of their living environment, as attested by the emergence of global organisations such as IUCN, WWF, and …

The Institutional Means Of Environmental Protection In Morocco, Rachida Meziane Jun 2026

The Institutional Means Of Environmental Protection In Morocco, Rachida Meziane

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This article analyses the institutional apparatus established in Morocco for environmental protection, in a context where the framework law on environmental protection and enhancement exists only in draft form, making the role of existing administrative structures all the more decisive. The author systematically inventories the environmental competences distributed among the various ministries (Interior, Agriculture, Public Health, Urban Planning, Maritime Fisheries) and specialised bodies, highlighting the institutional fragmentation characteristic of the Moroccan administrative landscape in environmental matters and the absence of a coordinating authority with real intersectoral arbitration capacity. The analysis focuses on the concrete environmental attributions of the Ministry of …

The Hunting Charge, Omar Mounir Jun 2026

The Hunting Charge, Omar Mounir

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Written in the form of a deliberately polemical essay, this text challenges the very concept of the 'hunting permit' and proposes to replace it with that of the 'hunting charge', effecting a conceptual revolution with profound legal implications regarding the status of game and the rights and duties of hunters. The author denounces the dominant mentality of hunters who, armed with their paid permit, believe themselves authorised to harvest without limits or responsibilities, ignoring the biological cycles of game, the issues of species balance, and the fragility of the environment, and assimilating hunting to a simple 'purchased right' rather than …

Environmental Aspects Of The Fixed Link Project Across The Strait Of Gibraltar, Mohamed Ali Mekouar Jun 2026

Environmental Aspects Of The Fixed Link Project Across The Strait Of Gibraltar, Mohamed Ali Mekouar

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Presented at the Seminar on Legal Aspects of the Europe-Africa Fixed Link Project across the Strait of Gibraltar (Madrid, December 1986), this report examines the environmental dimension of a project of unprecedented geopolitical, technical, and legal magnitude, whose impacts on the marine environment of the Strait remain largely understudied. The author notes that while feasibility studies have engaged significant scientific and technical resources, the ecological dimension has received only marginal attention, despite potentially considerable and irreversible impacts on the Strait's hydrodynamics, sedimentary flows, benthic and pelagic ecosystems, and marine species migration routes. The legal analysis examines Spain's and Morocco's international …

Law, Agriculture, And The Environment: Stimulating Production While Respecting Nature, Mohamed Ali Mekouar Jun 2026

Law, Agriculture, And The Environment: Stimulating Production While Respecting Nature, Mohamed Ali Mekouar

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Presented at the seminar on 'Environmental Protection and Rational Management of Natural Resources' in Meknes in June 1987, this paper interrogates the capacity of law to reconcile the imperative of stimulating agricultural production with the requirements of environmental protection, from a comparative law perspective. The author starts from the historically ambivalent relationship between agriculture and nature: while agriculture long benefited from natural generosity, it has in recent decades — under the effect of misdirected economic incentives and demographic pressure — become one of the principal sources of natural equilibrium degradation, soil and water pollution, and biodiversity destruction. The legal analysis …

Solar Energy In The Shadow Of Moroccan Law, Mohamed Ali Mekouar Jun 2026

Solar Energy In The Shadow Of Moroccan Law, Mohamed Ali Mekouar

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Presented at the round table organised in Marrakech for World Environment Day in June 1987 on 'Renewable Energies and the Environment', this paper analyses the legal treatment of solar energy in Moroccan law, in a global context marked by successive energy crises and growing awareness of the dead-end of fossil fuels. The author examines the paradox whereby the sun — a potentially unlimited energy source capable of satisfying 99% of humanity's energy needs — remains 'in the shadow' of the law, largely ignored by legal systems and maintained in a 'zone of non-law', even as its exploitation develops in various …

The Legal Protection Of Inland Waters In Morocco, Rahal Maarouf Jun 2026

The Legal Protection Of Inland Waters In Morocco, Rahal Maarouf

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This article addresses a significant gap in Moroccan legal scholarship by examining the legal protection of inland water resources — both quantitative and qualitative — in a semi-arid country facing growing pressure on naturally limited resources subject to climatic variability. The author traces the evolution of the applicable normative framework from the foundational texts of the Protectorate to more recent legislation, and analyses the legal mechanisms for allocating water among competing users (irrigated agriculture, industry, drinking water supply), the inadequacies of the concession and use authorisation system, and the failures of the groundwater and watercourse pollution prevention and repression regime, …

Wetlands In Moroccan Law, Mohamed Ali Mekouar Jun 2026

Wetlands In Moroccan Law, Mohamed Ali Mekouar

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Presented at the International Conference on Legal Aspects of Wetland Protection held in Lyon in September 1987, this paper systematically evaluates the status of wetlands in Moroccan law, highlighting both the richness and singular fragility of these natural environments and the inadequacy of the legal framework designed to protect them. The author defines wetlands rigorously in their morphological diversity (marshes, swamps, peatlands, floodplains, artificial water bodies) and exposes their fundamental ecological functions: synthesis between terrestrial and aquatic environments, wildlife refuge, natural water purification, hydrological regulation, and scientific, economic, recreational, and cultural values. The legal analysis inventories all Moroccan legislative and …

Legal Problems Of Hazardous Waste In Developing Countries: The Case Of Morocco, Mohamed Ali Mekouar Jun 2026

Legal Problems Of Hazardous Waste In Developing Countries: The Case Of Morocco, Mohamed Ali Mekouar

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Presented at the World Conference on Hazardous Wastes in Budapest in October 1987, this study subjects the problem of hazardous waste in developing countries to critical legal examination, with Morocco as an emblematic case study. The author first draws an alarming picture of the global phenomenon: industrialised countries produce some 300 million tonnes of toxic and hazardous waste annually, a growing proportion of which is routed to developing countries through often irregular or fraudulent transboundary movements due to the prohibitive cost of treatment in the North. The legal analysis covers existing international instruments — OECD conventions, UNEP guidelines, Stockholm Conference …

Hazardous Waste In The Medinas (Historic Centres) Of Morocco, Mohamed Naciri Jun 2026

Hazardous Waste In The Medinas (Historic Centres) Of Morocco, Mohamed Naciri

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Presented at the World Conference on Hazardous Wastes in Budapest in October 1987, this contribution analyses the specific and often overlooked problem of hazardous waste generated in Moroccan medinas — historic urban cores housing a dense artisanal and residential fabric whose narrow lanes (derbs) are unsuited to conventional collection systems. The author explains how the colonial dual urbanism policy neglected the environmental dimension of the medinas in favour of architectural heritage preservation, leaving growing waste collection and evacuation problems unaddressed. The analysis demonstrates that traditional artisanal activities (tanneries, dyeworks, metal workshops, bread ovens) generate hazardous liquid, solid, and gaseous effluents …
