“If documents are lost, history is lost”. This premise emphasizes the importance of the adoption of historical documents and manuscripts in this research, relevant to the historical period under study, while focusing on the following: - Diplomatic and consular documents, including French, British, American, German, Italian and other documents; - The documents of the Islamic courts in the Ottoman period, which constitute the transactions and documents of each court in an Ottoman city; and - The documents and records of municipalities, including the Municipality of Beirut, which include various important documents that the historian can rely on and benefit from. …

« Mais Pourquoi Donc Willy Protagoras S’Est-Il Enferme Dans Les Toilettes ?Ou Comment Recreer La Realite Au Theatre De Wajdi Mouawad », Christelle Stephan - Hayek
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
When he wrote his very first play, Willy Protagoras enfermé dans les toilettes, Wajdi Mouawad was only 23 years old. In this tragedy, he talks about freedom’s right, and wonders about the limits that society builds around that liberty. In this play, the nicest apartment of the building is divided between two families that have complicated relations between love and hate. One day, Nelly decides to leave this masquerade, while her brother, Protagoras, locks himself into the toilets and forbids anyone to enter. He refuses to listen to his parents, to negotiate with the squatters or to deal with the …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
The theme of sustainable development today is a growing concern of society. It aims to reconcile objectives of respect for the environment, economic efficiency and social equity. Transposing and applying this new approach to economic development, which is more systemic and more transparent, requires innovation and creation. These two requirements will bring about new ideas being capable of arousing the interest of the inhabitants of the planet, involving them and pushing them to adopt new ideas, to demonstrate eco-responsible behavior, and be to be more ethical in this regard. Humor in advertising for sustainable development is increasingly seen as a …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Pascal Quignard's novel All the World's Mornings is the fictional biography of a seventeenth-century musician, Jean de Sainte Colombe. The famous violist lives a life of recluse and devotion to music. A young violinist, Marin Marais, asks him to help him perfect his art, but the teacher and the disciple share opposite views about music. Marin Marais discovers the glory in Versailles while Sainte Colombe sinks more and more into solitude. However, the two men end up being reunited when the disciple finally discovers the true meaning of the music. Through his writings, Quignard represents two Baroque arts; music and …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
The historical evolution of the African continent was not smooth; the region experienced many upheavals including two powerful traumas that are slavery and colonialism. It is therefore not surprising that African writers, who are mainly inspired by the world around them, revisit History to write their novels. Among them, the Guinean writer Tierno Monénembo. The writer sheds the light on the history that has painfully shaken his continent, West Africa more precisely. His novels translate the almost obsessive concern to narrate the story of the African continent. We propose to study two of his novels: The king of Kahel (2008) …

Profession Du Pere, Un Reel Deraisonnable, Soumaya Al Jarrah
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
The current French literature is experiencing a tremendous renewal in all areas. At the beginning of the 21st century we are witnessing a great tendency of writing about oneself. This has created novel forms such as autofiction. The term is invented by Serge Doubrovsky in 1977. It is presented as a new version of the autobiography which takes as its subject the individual story of the subject of writing. There is a certain permeability between autobiography and autofiction. It is the fictional side of narrated events that differentiates between the two genres. Sorj Chalandon's novel 'Profession of the Father' (winner …
Creation Et Procreation Dans Le Roman Lait Noir D’Elif Shafak, Nadia Naboulsi Iskandarani
Creation Et Procreation Dans Le Roman Lait Noir D’Elif Shafak, Nadia Naboulsi Iskandarani
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Black Milk, is the title of a book by Elif Shafak, the Turkish writer, and it deals with the complexity of female identity and the difficulty encountered in reconciling different aspects of this identity. The writer expresses these identities in an allegorical way, manifested in the chorus of inner voices of midget women representing the different aspects of this identity. They introduce themselves alternately into the life of the narrator, assailing her in order to orientate her towards the determined role of Woman. The theme mainly focuses on the “incompatibility” between motherhood and literary creation. The problematic of the topic …

Auto-Bio-Fiction La Litterature A La Poursuite Du Reel Dans Lambeaux, De Charles Juliet, Carole Auroy
Auto-Bio-Fiction La Litterature A La Poursuite Du Reel Dans Lambeaux, De Charles Juliet, Carole Auroy
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Separated at the age of three months from his sick mother following a depression and attempted suicide, Charles Juliet only discovered her existence at her funerals seven years later. It took him many more years to relate the tragedy experienced by this woman to the policy of extermination which, under the occupation, caused the death by starvation in psychiatric institutions. Between 1983 and 1995, the novel was accompanied by a hard biographical investigation; the writer attempted to uncover the mystery of his own depths and the origins of his own story: he came out enlightened on the feeling of guilt …

Corps De Femme, Reflet D'Une Ville Detruite Dans La Malediction De Hyam Yared / 2012, Nisrine Hajj Chehade
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
La malédiction a novel by hyam Yared, tells the story of Hala, a Lebanese catholic, who will fight until the last moment in a male society under the Syrian tutelage for her freedom and the recognition of her femininity. Hala, with her suffering resembles Lebanon, which in turn demands its freedom; each of them is convicted to pain, violence and humiliation. Hala, in this novel, is the reflection of image of Beirut the victim of the usurpation, and the only solution is the self-destruction. As a result of the similarity between Hala and Beirut which was destroyed by the civil …

La Coupe Du Monde Dans La Litterature : La Revolte Interieure Dans « Whatever It Takes » (A Tout Prix !) De Bonita Mersiades, Hasna Bouharfouche
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
One of the most important examples of the connection between fiction and the real world is the writings about office and work, a subject of increasing interest to writers who wish to shed light on the conditions of work in the modern century. This is why we chose to study Bonita Mersiades’s "office novel" Whatever it takes, published in January 2018, and that we translated recently to French. The book reveals the secrets of one of the most important institutions in the world, FIFA, and perfectly combines reality with fiction in literature by projecting the "real" story of the writer …

La Créativité Linguistique Des Ados Entre Évolution Et/Ou Régression De La Langue, Abdelfettah Nasser Idrissi
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Today's young people use a language that we sometimes find strange. It is about a language which, for them, has a meaning, since they understand it and are themselves understood. It is a language that is both forged and coded, borrowed, using neologism and abbreviation, etc. This linguistic creativity reflects the interest of young people in language practices. Or what impact is there on the language? are we in the presence of a degradation of the language and its regression, or we are rather witnessing its evolution and /or revolution since some words, by the frequency of use, become attested …

Ideologie Et Metamorphose De La Langue, Mohammed Al Khatib
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Language, like any object in this world, is susceptible to various changes. These changes, visible or invisible, can be due to a natural development, or to unexpected external reasons. The language is also exposed to a natural and continuous mutation, and to a mutation due in general to external reasons. The metamorphosis that the language undergoes can be studied from three points of view: the close relationship between language and identity; the ideological side in the historical evolution of the language; graphic and phonic mutation in the language. Who says "language" says "identity" because these two elements constitute an important …
The Historical Novel: Re-Creating Past Realities Through Fiction “A Book A Day Keeps Reality Away”, Sarah Hodeib
The Historical Novel: Re-Creating Past Realities Through Fiction “A Book A Day Keeps Reality Away”, Sarah Hodeib
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Fiction and reality are two terms that seem to be in continuous opposition. Although the two worlds appear disparate, fiction and reality are linked together in more ways than thought. A literary text opens up a means to access reality; often it is a reflection of a reality we claim to exist. This paper, thus, explores how selected contemporary historical novels creatively (re-) construct alternative realities of WWII events as opposed to an assumed fixed reality presented in the grand narratives of history. The novels seek to retrieve the mini-narratives of long lost, subdued and/or marginalized stories of minor participants …
Language Creativity: A Sociolinguistic Reading Of Linguistic Change In Lebanon, Sawsan Tohme
Language Creativity: A Sociolinguistic Reading Of Linguistic Change In Lebanon, Sawsan Tohme
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
Language creativity in incorporated in everyday conversations and language behaviour. It is present in everyday expression although it might sometimes be invisible, looked down on or disdained. Regardless of whether we are in favour of or against this creativity, it is worth being recognised. As far as Lebanon is concerned, Arabic (i.e. Standard Arabic) is the official language, while Lebanese Arabic, along with English and French, are the main languages used by the Lebanese. This language diversity can be explained in the light of a number of factors and sociolinguistic functions. The language use in Lebanon has many creative aspects …

Creativity In Language: Reflections On Polysemy, Metaphors, Idioms, Collocations…And The Like, Adel Sakakini, Diana Hadi
BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior
According to Ronald Carter (2011), Creativity is such a complex and protean term to define. It involves inventiveness, imagination, novelty, originality and a myriad of other aspects. In language, in particular, creativity manifests itself in humans’ ability to produce an infinite number of sentences never spoken before and understand sentences never heard before or what Chomsky calls “creative aspect” of language use (Fromkin and Rodman, 1993.) It is of two types: rule-bound creativity and rule-breaking creativity. The researchers explore creativity employed in different language discourse such as slips of the pen, slips of the tongue, oxymoron, paradox, collocation, blends, anomaly, …

Student And Teacher Attitudes Towards Overtraining And Recovery In Vocational Dance Training, Peta Blevins, Shona Erskine, Gene Moyle, Luke Hopper
Student And Teacher Attitudes Towards Overtraining And Recovery In Vocational Dance Training, Peta Blevins, Shona Erskine, Gene Moyle, Luke Hopper
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Elite performance in dance is the result of many years of training, during which dancers face high physical and emotional demands. There is little empirical evidence addressing dancer training behaviours in the context of overtraining and in response to training demands; however, underlying dancer attitudes that affect training behaviours must first be understood to truly determine the drivers of dance training behaviour. This study explored the attitudes held by vocational dance students and their teachers in relation to stress and recovery during vocational dance training. Using Q methodology with a sample of 86 students and teachers, six viewpoints were identified …

Pearls, People, And Power : Pearling And Indian Ocean Worlds, Pedro Machado, Steve Mullins, Joseph Christensen
Pearls, People, And Power : Pearling And Indian Ocean Worlds, Pedro Machado, Steve Mullins, Joseph Christensen
Ohio University Press Open Access Books
Pearls, People, and Power is the first book to examine the trade, distribution, production, and consumption of pearls and mother-of-pearl in the global Indian Ocean over more than five centuries. While scholars have long recognized the importance of pearling to the social, cultural, and economic practices of both coastal and inland areas, the overwhelming majority have confined themselves to highly localized or at best regional studies of the pearl trade. By contrast, this book stresses how pearling and the exchange in pearl shell were interconnected processes that brought the ports, islands, and coasts into close relation with one another, creating …

Background: Low-resource rural communities face significant challenges regarding availability and adequacy of evidence-based services.
Purposes: With respect to accessing evidence-based services for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), this brief report summarizes needs of rural citizens in the South-Central Appalachian region, an area notable for persistent health disparities.
Methods: A mixed-methods approach was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data during focus groups with 33 service providers and 15 caregivers of children with ASD in rural southwest Virginia.
Results: Results supported the barriers of availability and affordability of ASD services in this region, especially relating to the need for more ASD-trained providers, …

A meta-analysis of oncology papers from around the world revealed that cancer patients who lived more than 50 miles away from hospital centers routinely presented with more advanced stages of disease at diagnosis, exhibited lower adherence to prescribed treatments, presented with poorer diagnoses, and reported a lower quality of life than patients who lived nearer to care facilities. Connected health approaches—or the use of broadband and telecommunications technologies to evaluate, diagnose, and monitor patients beyond the clinic—are becoming an indispensable tool in medicine to overcome the obstacle of distance.
