Women's Political Participation Aided By Constitutional Provisions In Post-Conflict African Nations, Roksana Gorgolewski

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

After two major continental conflicts, many African countries were forced to re-evaluate their constitutions and inherent political structures. This left a window of opportunity for greater female political participation as political leaders and members of the peacemaking process. This project will focus on selected African post-conflict states during the 1970’s to 2000’s that have re-written their constitutions. The general query asks whether those rewritten constitutions have contributed to greater gender equality in the legislature of those states and which constitutional provisions work best at promoting and maintaining gender equality. By studying Geisler’s book Women and the remaking of politics in …

Mulan: An Exploration Of Culture And Representation In Hollywood, Annie Okuhara, Bernadine Cortina, Hung Le, Ryan Nakahara, Jerry Zou

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

'Mulan: An Exploration of Culture and Representation in Hollywood' is a presentation and detailed analysis of various representational, cultural, and minority-related issues in the context of Hollywood and western media. The presentation will focalize specifically around the recent live-action remake of the 1998 film "Mulan". The remake, premiered in March 2020, received critical backlash from various audiences (mostly from the BIPOC community), bashing the film for its misrepresentation of Ancient China and Ancient Chinese culture. Through this misrepresentation, the Hollywood film ultimately reflects views of cultural appropriation, misogyny, and overall minority underrepresentation in the United States. The research presents the …

#Metoo: Why Twitter Doesn't Do Enough, Tara Mann

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

In 2017 actress Alyssa Milano sparked the #MeToo movement as most people know it today. Unbeknownst to many, however, a black woman named Tarana Burke began the Me Too movement a decade earlier after working with survivors of sexual assault. As more and more injustice through discrimination comes to light, it is important to recognize privilege where it exists and what it allows to happen. This project is an analysis of the rhetoric of the #MeToo movement that aims to prove that this privilege is the problem with the movement. I intend to demonstrate how the use of Twitter to …

هل نحن بحاجة إلى علم الأمثال ؟, Mohammad Al-Terek

Al Jinan الجنان

تعد الأمثال عبارة عن تأليف كلام بليغ موجز، معبّر ومؤثر، دقيق المعنى، فيه مشابهةووصف، والأمثال من الوسائل التربوية التوضيحية والتشويقية، يستعين بها المربون والمحاضرون، لأن فيها التصوير والتأثير، والحضور والظهور، والفهم والاعتبار.

والمضمون الإنساني للأمثال يتصل بالطبائع البشرية،فهي تصور المعاني تصويرا يتطابق والواقع الذي ورد فيه المثل، معبرا به عن تجارب الحياة، مشخّصا لأحوالها، بارعاً في تصويرها، بأقوى الألفاظ وأوجزها وأجملها.

والأمثال تبرز دقائق المعاني وترفع الأستار عن الحقائق والانتقال بالذهن من المدرك بالعقل إلى المشاهد، وهي سهلة الحفظ، تزين الكلام، وتستجمع الحكم، وتوضحها وتحببها إلى السامع، فإذا حدث الإنسان بما لم يشاهد ، ولم يستوعب، جيء له بمثال فيأنس …

Al Jinan الجنان

يعتبر الإمام الشافعي رحمه اله تعالى أحد أعلام العلماء عبر التاريخ الذين لهم تأثير في الفكر الإنساني فضلا عن العلوم الإسلامية والعربية وعلوم زمانه وقد وجدته يدعو إلى السفر والترحال في الأرض في قصيدة عصماء حملت فوائد السفر والترحال ممثلة ومعللة لمزاياه التي مارسها في سائر أطوار حياته طالباً للعلم وجامعاً لرواياته موظفاً وقاضياً مدرساً ومفتيا وفقيها وإماما فَخَبَر السفر وعالج أحواله ورأى نتائجه مما دعاني إلى تتبع رحلاته العلمية ومراحل حياته رحمه الله تعالى فرأيت تطابق أفعاله.

مع ما دعى إليه في هذه القصيدة وإذا به من أكثر الأعلام ضربا في الأرض وترحالا لطلب العلم وتعليمه إلى آخر حياته.

لغتنا الزاهرة, Abdulmoneam Bchennaty

Al Jinan الجنان

معنى لغتنا الزاهرة : النامية المشرقة والمتلألئة بالبيان والمعاني البلاغية والألفاظ الفصيحة ذات الخصائص المتميّزة. واللغة العربية ارتبطت بها إضاءة التفكير اللغوي، مع فجر الإسلام ، وأخذ العربي والعلماء يتفكرون في خلق السماوات والأرض من خلال كتاب الله عز وجل. واللغة العربية قديمةقدم الإنسان، فكان موطنها في الجزيرة العربية، وسط العالم القديم المعروف تاريخيا.

وقد تميزت اللغة العربية أنها فوق مستوى العام، فالعامةلا يصطنعونها في لغتهم، أما النص القرآني باعتباره نصا عربيا فكان أسلوبه إعجازا وتحديا لخاصة العرب،، واللغة العربية المشتركة لا تنتمي صفاتها إلى بيئة محلية بعينها، فهي ليست لغة قبيلة واحدة، بل هي مزيج من لهجات فصحاء العرب. …

الحافظ ابن حبان والانتقادات الموجهة إلى توثيقه الرواة, Ziad Ozon

Al Jinan الجنان

لما كثر الأخذ والرد في قبول توثيق الحافظ ابن حبان، حتى كان كثير من المشتغلين في هذا العلم ينعتونه بالتساهل، أردت أن أتفحّص أسباب هذا الوصف، وأحاكمها إلى المعايير العلمية؛ لنتوصل بذلك إلى كلمة سواء في هذا الموضوع، فكان أن خلصت إلى النقاط الآتية :1- تميز الحافظ ابن حبان وابداعه وابتكاره. 2- صحيح أن ابن حبان خالف الجمهور بتوثيقه المجاهيل الذين لم يُعرف فيهم جرح ولا تعديل، لكنه لم يقبل حديثهم بإطلاق، بل بضوابط وشروط. .3- أن الجمهور وإن لم يُضرّحوا بما ذهب إليه ابن حبان إلا أن عملهم موافق لقوله في التابعين واتباعهم الذين اشتهرت الرواية عنهم ( مجهول …

The Culturally Capitalised Graduate: Toward A Wider Reading Experience For Undergraduate Students, Sue Norton

Books/Book Chapters

This essay considers higher education policy in Ireland that, in limited optional ways, is diversifying the undergraduate curriculum to incorporate wider reading across disciplines. Such policies, now gaining traction, aim to foster greater graduate employability, understood as the resilience and resourcefulness to secure positions in the workplace over time, and in fluctuating periods of supply and demand; they also support graduates to live more meaningfully in society. This essay’s three sections draw upon several sources including a business consultancy website, journal articles, and academic papers and reports. It extrapolates in particular from the research of Julia Preece and Anne-Marie Houghton …

Shibboleth: Judges, Derrida, Celan [Toc], Marc Redfield

Philosophy & Theory

In the Book of Judges, the Gileadites use the word shibboleth to target and kill members of a closely related tribe, the Ephraimites, who cannot pronunce the initial shin phoneme. In modern European languages, shibboleth has come to mean a hard-to-falsify sign that winnows identities, and establishes and confirms borders; it has also acquired the ancillary meanings of slogan or cliché. The semantic field of shibboleth thus seems keyed to the waning of the logos in an era of technical reproducibility—to the proliferation of technologies and practices of encryption, decryption, exclusion and inclusion that saturate modern life. In the context …

Infrapolitical Passages: Global Turmoil, Narco-Accumulation, And The Post-Sovereign State [Toc], Gareth Williams

Literature

This book proposes to clear a way through some of the dominant political determinations and violent symptoms of contemporary globalization. It does this in in order to make a case for “infrapolitics” as an enactment of intellectual responsibility in the face of a tumultuous world of war and of technological value extraction on a planetary scale. In Infrapolitical Passages the politics of contemporary global capital is a race to the bottom of reason itself, extended in the wake of the subordination of all forms of living to the economized relation between means and ends. It is this relation which, thanks …

Jordan Journal of Islamic Studies
