Le Temps Dans Le Marat/Sade (1) De P. Weiss, Zohra Makach

Dirassat

The Time in Marat/ Sade by P. Weiss

Time is an essential element of the dramatic work. The play is part of the duration, there are events that last a certain time, during intermissions, and behind the scenes at the same time as on stage. Of course, we must recognize that the notion of time in the theater is very complex. It isdifficult to grasp in a single concept. In general, in the theatrical genre, we find two or even three temporalities. The scenic present which represents the dramatic time, the continuous time, of the representation, then the time of …

Temps Et Fonctionnement Textuel Chez Rachid Mimouni, Najib Redouane

Dirassat

Time and Textual Functioning at Rachid Mimouni

The temporal dimension is a variable as important as space, and it is far from lacking in interest in the work of Rachid Mimouni. In fact, the issue of time considered as a structuring factor of the event representations which punctuate the story (1) is at the very heart of his romantic enterprise. To show how temporality exercises a locating and regulating function in the Mimounian text, we distinguish four temporal aspects to which the author focuses in his writing universe: romantic time, lived time, historical time and social time.

Légendes Khair-Eddiniennes Entre Errance Et Paraboles D'Une Mémoire Mythique, Rachida Saigh Bousta

Dirassat

Khair-eddin Legends between Wandering and Parables of a Mythical Memory

The story that one apprehends through the canvases of the Khair-Eddin in routes, the south, the wandering and the buried place remain the matrix entities of all his reflection and the preferred space of the myths and legends which torment and subjugate the thought of the author. Agoun'chich's itinerary, in Legendeet Vie by Agounchich (1), carries at its extremity this tension towards the Southern wandering which mobilizes the fictional journey as much as the charge and discursive determinations. The story, as a whole, seems underpinned and substantially exalted by the …

«Le Blanc Poétique Ou Le Blanc De Ia Mémoire Dans Harrouda De Tahar Ben Jelloun», Jamal El Qasri

Dirassat

The Poetic White or the White of MemoryinHarrouda byTabarBen Jelloun

Harrouda seems to exploit the double status of white, by its incorporation and linear prose and versified poem. However, the essential is elsewhere: it consists in the use of an unusual white, rarely adopted in poetry and even less in prose, which at times enters the space of the text,until finally monopolizing it. How does this white appear? And at what gold- Does the organization of signification respond?

Looking Back, Or Re-Visioning: Contemporary American Jewish Poets On “Lot’S Wife”, Anat Koplowitz-Breier

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Although mentioned only twice in Genesis (19:17, 26), Lot’s wife has been a topic of much discussion amongst both traditional and modern commentators and exegetes. The traditional midrashim seek to explain why she chose to disregard the instructions she was given and the nature of her punishment. In doing so, they follow two principal directions, representing her a) negatively as a wicked sinner, a Sodomite who acted as such even before disobeying the divine decree not to look backwards—thus linking her disobedience with her intrinsic character (e.g., curious, greedy, inhospitable, faithless); or b) positively as a loving mother and daughter. …

The Postcolonial Condition In Tayeb Salih's Season Of Migration To The North, Rachida Yassine

Dirassat

Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North Disacounter-narrative written in 1969 at the early phase of African 'Decolonization'. This narrative re-writes Conrad's Heart of Darkness –and other ethnocentric representations of Europe's Other such as Shakespeare's Cali ban and Othello-from an Arab/African perspective. In his Culture and Imperialism, Said considers Salih's novel an example of the postcolonial native writers' reclamation of the fictive to poi of colonial culture "on the very same territory once ruled by a consciousness that assumed the subordination of a designated inferior. Saree Makdisee makes a similar point in his essay," The Empire Renarrated: Season of …

Desde El Fuego Que En Mí Arde: Performance, Literatura Y Cine Afro-Latinoamericano Producidos Por Mujeres Afrodescendientes En Perú, Cuba Y Brasil (1960–2000), Elena Ekatherina Chavez Goycochea

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation examines different films, literary, and performance art pieces created by contemporary afro-descendant women from Peru, Cuba, and Brazil after the sixties with emphasis on the most relevant works of Conceição Evaristo, Sara Gómez, Victoria Santa Cruz, and Lucía Charún-Illescas. I focus my research on the crucial role these artists played in the cultural identity formation of Latin America when inserting ‘race’ as a category of socio-political analysis and cultural production. How did their films, performances, and texts challenge national narratives and imaginaries after 1960? Although in the sixties, women improved their civil rights in different countries, the ‘mujer …

Le Portrait Du Poète En Barbare Dans L’Œuvre D’Henri Michaux, Taoufiq Moueddene

Dirassat

The article highlights the imprint and poetic requirement of Henri Michaux in his work on the portrait of the poet in barbarian. The author returns, from a complex game, to the question of the plural being. Michaux diverts from the recognition and republic of letters, to make of it to be, not only the barbarian and the pariah of French literature but also his «Mlecha». Michaux’s work and life are part of a reflection on literature in its relation to being as a machine to be and to think.

Often called experimental thinking, Michaux is a discreet poet, painter painterand …

This article preaches the authenticity of Rifaine society in harmony with its physical and symbolic environment. While reflecting on Rifaine oral poetry, the author evokes the roots of the ancient poem as an element of socio-territorial identification in the test of time. Through the song rallabuya, it is the local heritage that forces admiration and forge the perpetual adaptation of young people. Following the orientation of Jean Cohen and Roman Jakobson, the author reinvests the concept of poeticity while resorting to the theses of the orality of Paul Zumthor in order to extract the poetic forms and thorny aspects accompanying …

Akbar, My Heart: Caregiving For A Dog During Covid-19, Alexandra Isfahani-Hammond

Animal Studies Journal

Covid-19 originates with humans’ instrumentalization of other animals, an “inconvenient truth” elided by scientists procuring a vaccine while refusing to contend with the captivity, slaughter and encroachment on wild animals’ habitats that brought the fatal disease upon us. The interlocking of homo sapiens’ and other species’ suffering is, of course, glaringly evidenced by disproportionate Black and brown death due to Covid-19 worldwide, itself intensifying the foundational pandemic of anti-Black violence.

“Akbar, My Heart” contemplates transpecies loss in a relational frame, attending to the entanglement of white supremacy with anthropocentrism at the same time that I reflect on caregiving for my …

Poems And Translations, Rome Hernández Morgan

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This document is separated into two parts, a collection of original poems and a collection of translations of the crônicas of Rubem Braga.

The Joy Of Listening: Three Voices In The Poetry Of Wisława Szymborska, Mimi Thompson

CMC Senior Theses

One of the greatest feats that a poet may achieve in his or her lifetime is to develop a voice so characteristic of themself, it would be impossible to confuse it with that of any other poet. Polish-speaking and non-Polish-speaking scholars alike have agreed that the voice of 1996 Nobel Laureate Wisława Szymborska is utterly distinct, despite the fact that her poems explore a wide range of topics and are told from multiple narrative perspectives, rarely featuring herself through any personal details. How, then, is it possible for hundreds of poems, each with their own narrator, to still be “heard” …
