Travel And Writing, Michel Butor

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

In this study, Butor reconstructs the relationship between two dimensions: thinking about all the questions they expose and the concepts they use. All this is done within a science he invented, it is Iterology. A new science that will study the concept of travel in its four dimensions, and in a relational perspective that links it to reading and writing. These two dimensions are concretized in the following relationships: reading as travel, travel as reading, travel as writing and writing as travel. It also challenges many concepts that are immanent to the concept of “travel”, which extends it to include …

Two Algerians In Morocco: Two Laudatory Visions, Ahmed Makkaoui

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article deals with few contemporary situations in the history of Morocco, based on two Algerian travel accounts: The first by Hamza Bokousha in the late 1940s and the second by Abu Qasim Saadullah in the early 1970s. This contribution puts us in the context of travel, highlighting its motivations, its journey, the major issues addressed, and revealing the cultural, political, social and economic aspects in Morocco under the French Protectorate and after Independence.

From Writing The Journey To The Journey Into Writing, Alkhamissa Allaoui

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Through this article, we seek to emphasize that travel stimulates and enriches imagination. The travel writer tries to transcend the banal aspect of travel and observation to question the obvious and capture the incredible. Indeed, he is convinced that his movement in space and time allows him to observe with circumspective eyes, drawing on imagination, to escape, through his text, into the charms of the mysterious.

Ethnography And Narration In “Women’S Life In Yemen”, Ibrahim Abotalib

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

The travel text (written text that describes the author’s journey to a distant and foreign place) is varied, as are its modes of presentation of ethnographic subjects and observations of a community in a given period. This study deals with topics related to the question of “gender” in the lives of women in Yemen in the 1950s, 60s and 70s of the 20th century, in travel narratives. The narrative by the French doctor “Claudie Fain”, who was in Yemen as an anthropologist as well, tells, according to her friend “France Hoss”, many women’s stories about their suffering. Life and history …

Literature Of The Pilgrimage Trip: The Late Moresque Journey, Abdelhadi Saadoune

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This study aims to introduce a rather little knownliterary text: a manuscript of poems composed by one of the last Spanish Muslimsat the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century. This text is part of an important literary genre that recovers the connections between Moorish Muslim pilgrimages to Mecca, which are an extension of the journeys of Andalusians and Maghrebians of earlier times. This researchendeavor attempts to excavate the journey of a Morisco, a unique historical document on the life, thought and beliefs of an important Muslim community, as well as on the countries, cities, …

Between Dream And Travel, Lina Jammal

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

Dreams were motives for travel (Riḥla) during medieval Islam in literary and historical contexts. This article addresses this common motive in the opposite direction, and focuses on travel as a stimulus for dreams. It shows how dreams are actually journeys, but in two different spatial/temporal dimensions. To this end, this article uses contradictory examples to prove that the dream can achieve certain travel objectives such as pilgrimage, knowledge, trade, therapy and the construction of a new identity.

Ibnu Fadlâne And The Creation Of The Literary Travel Text, Abdelrahim Elkurdy

SOROUD: The journal of Literacy Criticism

This article attempts to highlight Ibn Fadlan’s founding role in the establishment of the Rihlagenre, through making a transition from pure scientific reporting to literary description that sees the facts of the journey from the perspective of the narrator/hero, as found in the modern novel. The hero faces real risky adventures. The narrator uses the process of manipulating the temporalities of history and discourse, and the processes of moving through space, as used by novelists. The pleasure of the text is aroused by the textures of expectation and anticipation, and also by the astonishment caused by the strange and wonderful …

Look Out For Our Kind, Christof Koch

Animal Sentience

Strongly supportive overall of Birch’s broad tent Sentience Project, I offer an alternative dyadic, single-class, two-stage process based on estimating the probability for sentience, and the associated confidence, for any individual or taxonomic group. I criticize Birch’s narrow computational framework when addressing the question of algorithmic sentience; there are alternative approaches.

Ai Is Not The Kind Of Thing That Can Ever Be Sentient, Lori Marino

Animal Sentience

Sentience evolved to allow organisms to move through their environment avoiding harms and achieving benefits. Sentience did not evolve from computation. It evolved from valenced feelings. AI (even robots) are not embodied and are not the kind of thing that needs to be sentient. There is no way to get from computations to feelings. They are qualitatively different things. We should avoid being lulled into thinking that an inanimate object designed to engage our propensity for anthropomorphism, like AI, is actually a mind.

Jerusalem, City Of David Visitor Center: The Early Islamic, Medieval And Late Ottoman Pottery, Benjamin J. Dolinka

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The excavation at the entrance to the Visitor Center in the City of David uncovered a small but significant assemblage of ceramics, all from stratified contexts, including bowls, basins, storage jars, jugs, a cooking pot and a clay tobacco pipe. The pottery dates from the Abbasid period (ninth–tenth centuries CE), the medieval period (mid-twelfth–late fourteenth centuries CE) and the late Ottoman period (mid- to late nineteenth century CE). The ceramic evidence from the excavation provides important insights into the occupational history of the site during these periods.

Jerusalem, City Of David Visitor Center: The Late Roman And Byzantine Pottery, Debora Sandhaus

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

This article analyzes two pottery assemblages excavated at the entrance of the City of David Visitor Center in Jerusalem, providing important evidence for the occupation and development of the city during the Late Roman and Byzantine periods. The first assemblage, recovered from above the floors of the Stratum VI building, is a homogeneous domestic collection dominated by serving and food-preparation vessels, including arched-rim basins, bowls/lids and a complete Bet Naṭṭif lamp. These finds date the structure to the third–fourth centuries CE and suggest activities associated with food preparation and communal use rather than storage. The second assemblage, recovered from a …

Jerusalem, City Of David Visitor Center: Remains From The Late Roman–Late Ottoman Periods, Joe Uziel

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The following report presents the results of an excavation conducted on the summit of the City of David, Jerusalem, which exposed remains of six strata, spanning the Late Roman to the Medieval–late Ottoman period. Although the excavation area was quite narrow, important remains were exposed, contributing to our knowledge of the settlement and character of this portion of the city. Several surfaces interpreted as roads were exposed, beginning with an Abbasid road and continuing until the Medieval–late Ottoman period. Beneath these surfaces, a layer of garden soil, similar in character to the layer exposed in the Giv‘ati Parking Lot, was …

Aesthetic Relationship Of The Female Character Design And Peacocks In Art Nouveau And Art Deco, A.L Rawan Reda Atef Elzeky, Prof. Dr. Manal Abdel Rahim, Prof. Asmaa Abu Bakr El-Nawawy

Journal of Art, Design and Music

The Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements (1890–1940) produced a rich visual vocabulary in which the female figure and the peacock emerged as recurring and symbolically charged motifs. Despite extensive scholarship on both movements, the specific aesthetic and symbolic relationship between these two elements, and their collective contribution to the development of character design principles, has received limited scholarly attention.

The aim is to enhance understanding of the visual diversity presented in the selected works, despite the shared fundamental elements represented by the woman and peacock. The complementary relationship between them, whether it is a spatially intertwined and harmonious relationship …

Documentary Review: The Devil Is Busy, Margaret A. Murray

Feminist Pedagogy

The Devils is Busy is an Oscar-nominated documentary short that goes behind the scenes at the Feminist Center for Reproductive Liberation in Atlanta, GA. The viewer accompanies the clinic’s head of security, Tracii, as she spends a day protecting the clinic. The film is a thoughtful, restrained look at an important topic. This review will provide some context for the film, summarize it and suggest how it could be used in class.

Access Intimacy In The Feminist Classroom: Co-Creating Course Policies, Expectations, And Access Measures As Feminist Disability Praxis, Krystal Cleary

Feminist Pedagogy

In this essay, I outline an activity to foster access intimacy (Mingus, 2011) in the feminist classroom through students’ co-creation of course policies, expectations, and additional access measures. This activity transforms the classroom into a praxis laboratory wherein students analyze the normative structures that shape their hyperlocal classroom context and practice building environments characterized by interdependent solidarity rather than atomized competition. As feminist disability praxis, this activity centers the knowledge of disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent scholars and students; in doing so, it customizes the classroom to a diversity of learners and builds adaptability for responding to unforeseen challenges into …
