My Response To Ramseyer’S Effort To Deny The History Of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery, Pyong Gap Min

Journal of International Women's Studies

The main objective of this paper is to critically evaluate as many of Ramseyer’s arguments as possible included in his 2022 paper. It consists of three sections in addition to the introduction and concluding remarks. The first section summarizes the expanded literature that interpreted the “comfort women” system as sexual slavery, judgments, and recommendations to the Japanese government given by scholars, international human rights organizations and the legislative branches of four Western countries. Since Ramseyer published his article denying the “comfort women” system as sexual slavery without introducing this literature, we cannot consider his article as an academic work. The …

A growing body of work has addressed human adaptations to diverse environments using genomic data, but few studies have connected putatively selected alleles to phenotypes, much less among underrepresented populations such as Amerindians. Studies of natural selection and genotype–phenotype relationships in underrepresented populations hold potential to uncover previously undescribed loci underlying evolutionarily and biomedically relevant traits. Here, we worked with the Tsimane and the Moseten, two Amerindian populations inhabiting the Bolivian lowlands. We focused most intensively on the Tsimane, because long-term anthropological work with this group has shown that they have a high burden of both macro and microparasites, as …

Curiosities Of Street Literature, A Critical Edition, Lauren Maynes, Sydnie Poulsen, Drew Rigby, Sarah Schulzke, Zerin Wetzel, Emi Yamazaki

Student Works

Curiosities of Street Literature, compiled and edited by Charles Hindley, Sr. and published by Reeves and Turner in 1871, is a curiosity in every sense of the word. The volume contains over 200 Victorian broadsides (primarily ballads) reprinted from the cheap Seven Dials versions that flooded the streets of Great Britain before the advent of steam printing. Sold for a penny (or less) by “patterers” who sang the ballads to popular tunes to attract their typically working-class customers, these pieces of ephemera were never meant to be saved or remediated in book format. Street ballads appeared quickly and disappeared …

The Syntax Of Answers To Positive Polar Questions In Jordanian Arabic, Osama Omari, Hadeel Mohammad, Aziz Jaber, Mujdey Abudalbuh

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

Responses to a polar question have recently received much attention in the syntactic literature (e.g., Yaisomanag, 2012 on Thi; Wu, 2016 on Taiwanese, Servidio et al., 2018 on Italian; among others). However, the syntax of yes-no questions in Arabic has been undermined in the literature. The present study provides a syntactic analysis of answers to positive/neutral polar questions in Jordanian Arabic. Jordanian Arabic is particularly relevant here because its system allows for a variety of answer expressions. For example, an answer to a polar question could be in the form of a particle (a: ‘yes’ and laʔ ‘no’) or a …

Types Of Grotesque Character In Ahmad Alsaadawi’S Frankstein In Baghdad, Ahlam Masad

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

Grotesque is a term that describes everything that seems unfamiliar. It includes the anomaly, the distorted, the ugly, the strange, and the mad, all of which have a philosophical dimension that rejects the monistic and absolute view and is based on the contradictory duality that expresses the individual’s reality in its two parts: the bright and the dark, the complete and the imperfect. The events in Frankenstein in Baghdad take place in the years of 2005 and 2006 when Iraq witnessed a severe state of chaos, destruction and killing.

The Concept Of Text From The Perspective Of Heritage And Modernity: Its Impact On Formulating The Theory Of A Literary Text, Noureldeen Saddar, Khaled Bani Domy

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

This research aims to discuss the problem of the textual concept in the Arab critical heritage and the Western critical thought and to show its impact on formulating the contemporary literary textual theory. It is the problem that stems from the assumption that Arab critical thought has originated in the components of this theory, which we find have roots and references in our critical, literary, rhetorical and philosophical heritage. Hence, the textual theory in the contemporary critical thought is an extension of this legacy, benefiting from the achievements of philosophers, linguists and critics, and the achievements of contemporary critical approaches. …

The Problem Of Mimicry And Presence In Ahmad Shawqi's Siniyah, Sami Ababneh, Yousef Hamdn

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

This paper examines Ahmad Shawqi's Siniyah and Al-Buhturi's Siniyah from a critical perspective that views the relationship between these two works as a case of both mimicry and presence. Mimicry is an essential component of poetic practice that cannot be overlooked and is evident of one’s self-awareness in its present time and circumstances. This paper seeks to reevaluate and criticize this relationship in ways that might rejuvenate interest in poetic influence as the means of the latter poet to prove himself and his presence when compared to predecessor poets. This perception is based on the imitating poet’s fit as seen …

Acquisition Of The Liaison In French As A Foreign Language: Difficulty And Remedy, Saad Haddad

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

“Liaison is a phenomenon that aroused and continues to arouse a large number of researchers' interest because of its complexity and diversity. The studies on this subject often concern when and how different native and non-native speakers perform or do not perform the liaison in French. The difficulty posed by the phenomenon of liaison is even more evident among non-native speakers for whom such correspondence does not exist in the mother tongue”. (Mårtensson, 2013 : p 3).

Cesaire's Tempest Writes Back To The Empire, Sawsan Ahmad Daraiseh, Nancy Habis Al-Doghmi, Banan Ahmad Daraiseh

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

Aimé Césaire, who lived the experience of colonialism, wrote back to Shakespeare’s play The Tempest in a play of his own, which he called A Tempest.

This research performs a deep analysis of A Tempest, revealing the voice of the Other as enabled; arguing with and disabling The Tempest’s deep …

The Phenomenon Of Arabic Poetry Embellishments Among Poets & Narrators Up To The 4th Century Ah, Mohammad Alzoubi

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

Many single narrations of one and the same line of old Arabic poetry, especially the Pre-Islamic, are not different because of lapses of memory as commonly thought. In fact, they are often due to intentional attempts on part of the narrators in question to introduce some improvements, starting from Pre-Islamic poetry up to the age of documentation of such earlier poems. Based on recurrent news of such attempts or even, sometimes, documented confessions of these attempts, the present research adopts a comparative analytical approach, along with the citation of other new examples of the abovementioned attempts. Indeed, these improvements or …

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

Being conscious about the places of concealment and asking for concealing the meaning away from publicity and disclosure is an aim, ambition, and endeavor that the writer or artist relies on to achieve uniqueness and exceptionality in expression. This may ensure that the reader will not escape the grip of the text, seeking for an implicit, hidden meaning which has nothing to do with the obvious meaning whether this implicit meaning relates to a word, signal, and symbol or through writing, space, or punctuation and this ensures a special literary achievement which is based on terse style and aesthetic meaning …

Testimonios Of Civic Pedagogy: Developing Critical Literacy Skills Using Civics And Holocaust Studies, Tameka Parenti

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Civics using Holocaust Studies offer a variety of pedagogical advantages. Regardless of the topic, Holocaust events can be used to build critical analytical skills and cultivate essential literacy skills about the social world. Further, the Holocaust can be used to introduce and grapple with the complex/abstract ideas of the civics content. Given the relationship that social studies has to critical literacy development, civics used in conjunction with Holocaust resources present teacher(s) (educators) with the opportunity to explore (theoretical) concepts foregrounding manifold relationships making up the social world.
