A Reading Of “Ladies Of The East: Great Travelers Across Arab Countries” By Cristina Morató, Salma Moutaouakkil

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article discusses the image presented by Spanish journalist and writer Morato Cristina about British women who have embarked on bold adventures across Mesopotamia, Persia, and the Arabian Peninsula through her fascinating book “Women Travelers Across the Middle East” (2015), which falls under travel literature. The author portrays the lives of some English travelers and what they observed and recorded of events and facts during their journeys. Some of them interacted with Arab Bedouin women in past centuries and resembled them to the extent that they preferred to live and die in the Middle East desert over their aristocratic lives …

Letters From Istanbul By Lady Mary Wortley Montagu:The Orient From A Woman's Point Of View, Latifa Laamarti

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

As it is well known, travel literature is any coherent and well-structured narrative that records what travelers had seen, experienced and lived. However, we always referred to this literature from the male point of view, since travel itself is considered something proper to men, who generally travelled to discover and explore new lands, to conquer other peoples, for espionage missions, diplomatic posts, religious motives, etc. We should know that women also contributed a great deal to this genre of literature. This was the case of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a woman traveler who went on with her husband for his …

Road Notes: "An Aesthetic Of Existence", Mustapha Charfaoui

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Travel as an act of displacement is a human activity that borders on need. This cultural constant forms the backdrop of works from antiquity, through the journey of Ulysses, the journeys of knights, explorers, missionaries, romantics, etc. For the human soul, travel is an irrevocable necessity as it is a meritorious source of learning as H. Miller asserts: “A destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things”. This is what we see again in the journey undertaken by Isabelle Eberhardt that we will discover through her work Notes de route: Maroc, Algérie, Tunisie, a kind of …

Zeynep Hanım: The First Female Ottoman Traveller Between Travelogue And Autobiography, Nesrin Karavar

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article analyzes the letters of Zeynep Hanım, one of the first modern women Turkish travelers written from various European cities. The rich experience of this traveler and feminist pioneer is collected in her letters, offering us her vision to the realities of the situation of Turkish and European women. The search for a Muslim and independent female identity in Europe is reflected in her letters. Like all the traveling women of her time, she reflected her observations in her correspondence comparing Turkish and European women, but exercising perhaps a more perceptive analysis than many other female travelers.

Orientalism And Anticolonialism In The Writings From The Sand «By Isabelle Eberhardt», Miloud El Bohdidi

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

European explorers in the East captured their experiences and memories in important travel accounts. Although some travelers have written their memories down upon their return to their home countries, the decision made by other adventurers to stay permanently in the lands they set out to explore is remarkable. In this sense, the Swiss Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) stands out, whose taste for the Orient led her, still young, to undertake her travels through Algeria, a country where she remained until her died following the uprising of a river in Ain-Sefra. His brother's enlistment in the French Legion and his posting to …

Alice Morrison’S My 1001 Nights: Tales And Adventures From Morocco Seeing From Within Not From Above And Preaching Cross-Cultural Appreciation, Youssef El Kaidi

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Thanks to its geographical location at the intersection between continents and cultures, Morocco has always been a stage for cross-cultural encounters. Despite its geographical proximity to Europe, Morocco, however, is culturally distant to the Western subject and its exotic allure has always been irresistible. While many 19th and early 20th century travel accounts on Morocco were highly orientalist in their (mis)representation of space and race in Morocco, Alice Morrison’s My 1001 Nights: Tales and Adventures from Morocco seem to introduce a new pattern of cultural representation in which the Western traveler witnesses from within not from above. This paper demonstrates …

The Rhetoric Of Wandering And Travel Narratives In Isabelle Eberhardt's «Écrits Sur Le Sable», Amira Souames

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

The eminently intimate call from the outside makes it possible to densify the relationship to the world on condition that it is in accordance with the affinities of the traveler. Thus, With Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904), her attachment to the place stems in particular from the fact that she will never return there. Sahara, chosen land of the wanderer, is a chosen landscape that she tries to live and describe in its endless variations. Although the departure is an act of postage, the meaning of the journey is acquired over the course of the journey, and we will question ourselves in …

Fascination By «The Other» And The Mirror We Look At Ourselves Lady Mary Montagu's Journey To The Ottoman Empire, María Jesús Horta

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu traveled to the Ottoman Empire accompanying her husband, the English ambassador, and lived there between January 1717 and July 1718. She maintained a copious correspondence with her family and friends during her stay in Istanbul as well as during her journey, letters she later compiled and edited, and which were published under the title Embassy to Constantinople a year after her death. These letters constitute a truly important milestone for the travel literature of Europeans in the East because in them she left aside the stereotypes used until then, and tried to convey an objective and …

Catherine De Bourboulon's Diary In China (1858-1862) Fracture Between East And West, Qingya Meng

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article is dedicated to the journey of Catherine de Bourboulon (1827-1865) with her husband, a French diplomat, through northern China, Mongolia, and Russia, during which she wrote a journal that was published upon her return to France in 1866. This journal reflects both her compassion for the Chinese and Mongols living in miserable conditions and her admiration for the landscape of the Gobi Desert. However, her perspective also establishes a hierarchical relationship with the Other. In this regard, our approach aims to show how the concept of civilization justifies Catherine de Bourboulon’s stance, convinced of the superiority of Europeans …

Women Travelers, Cristina Morató

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article is a tribute to the female travelers who have been forgotten in history. Through their stories, it aims to highlight the significant contributions of these women to geographical exploration and world knowledge. From Egeria in the 4th century to the British explorers of the 19th century, these women defied conventions and ventured into the unknown. Despite the challenges and dangers, these brave women left an indelible mark on the history of exploration.

The Harem In Orientalist Art And Literature Between Fantasy And Authenticity, Fatima Zahra Ajjoul

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

European travel to the Orient dates back to thousands of years, but fascination with the region flourished by the nineteenth century, the century of "harem literature" and Orientalist art par excellence. A number of developments made the trip to the Orient easier, safer and cheaper at the time. However, harem doors remained closed to male travellers who were left to imagine their own desirable details that mostly projected fantasies of exoticism, eroticism and despotism. Women travellers, on the other hand, took advantage of their gender-privileged access to the Oriental women's segregated spaces to shed light upon several obscured aspects of …

Multi-Agent Orchestration For Commercially Grounded Image Generation, Kirti Gurnaney

Defensive Publications Series

Generative artificial intelligence for image synthesis can face challenges in commercial applications, such as generating images with structural artifacts or recommending products that are not commercially available. The disclosed technology describes a multi-agent orchestration framework that may address these issues. The framework can coordinate a stylist agent, which handles aesthetic composition based on user intent, and a merchant agent, which can apply real-world constraints by validating product data, such as live inventory, against enterprise datastores. The system may also employ a hierarchical sequential compositing protocol to render images in a layer-by-layer sequence. This approach may produce an output that is …

Calculation Of Lra Force Factor Using Electrical Impedance Parameters, David Yu, Jianxun Wang, Vander Fang, Ozan Anac

Defensive Publications Series

Calibrating the force factor (BL) of linear resonant actuators (LRAs) in some production environments may present challenges, as certain laboratory instruments can be slow or costly for high-throughput quality control. A method is described to calculate BL by extracting key parameters from an LRA's electrical impedance curve. This approach can identify points such as resonant frequency, maximum impedance, and direct current resistance to determine the motional impedance (ΔZ) and mechanical Q factor (Q_ms), which can avoid some complex curve-fitting procedures. These values, along with a known moving mass (m), can then be used in a formula, for example …
