The Fragmentation Of Self Within The Indian Novel, Michele Gibney
The Fragmentation Of Self Within The Indian Novel, Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
With the novel Midnight’s Children, Rushdie forged a new path for novel-writing. In his epic story the main character became split into two in order to show the many facets of Indian culture. Instead of gaining an understanding of just one way of life, the reader became privy to all the stories being lived in such places as the Methwold estates, the surreal Sundarbans, and the Magician’s Ghetto. The story of one, single individual was lost in the cacophony of voices that each had their own tale to tell in Rushdie’s novel. This new form of writing, which favored the …

The World Seduces Man. His Home Grounds Him., Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
Between Untouchable and The Bachelor of Arts there is a world of difference in the basic situations of the main characters. One is an uneducated street sweeper and the other is a University graduate, and both have a different conception of the British. However, there is also a common thread that unites the two novels in the main characters concluding acceptance of the “home”/India over the “world”/England. Thus, although different values are assigned to the importance of British colonialism within the texts, in the end each novel comes to a stand wherein Indian culture is favored over the British.

The Setting Sun: Japanese Post-War Sensibility, Michele Gibney
The Setting Sun: Japanese Post-War Sensibility, Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
Osamu Dazai wrote The Setting Sun in the years directly following the end of World War II. The effects of Japan’s defeat in the War were clearly still felt, as evidenced by the characters and situations being expressed in this novel. In looking at the novel through a historical lens, I plan on placing it within the greater context of the times. I view Dazai’s work as a masterpiece at evoking the feelings that were seething beneath Japan’s conquered surface. In consequence of this, I believe that by examining the words, actions, and feelings of the characters, one can extend …
Spiritual Quest In Hojoki And Hosshinshu And The Duality Of Art And Religion, Michele Gibney
Spiritual Quest In Hojoki And Hosshinshu And The Duality Of Art And Religion, Michele Gibney
Michele Gibney
The individual’s quest for enlightenment in Japan is a serious one. One such individual from the medieval Japanese period will be the subject of this paper. Kamo no Chomei, a recluse, poet, and priest who lived from 1155-1216 strove to attain a religious awakening of the mind during the latter half of his life. The question of whether he succeeded or not is a difficult one to answer, however, by examining two of his major works—Hojoki and Hosshinshu—the nature of Chomei’s quest should become clearer. Although I do not believe Chomei found the enlightenment he sought; the quest itself and …

Les 35 Heures, Tout N'Est Pas Noir, Thierry Warin

Si l’on n’y prend pas garde, la réduction du temps de travail légal entraînera des effets non anticipés par le gouvernement. L’un d’entre eux est celui de l’augmentation du « travail au noir ». Aujourd’hui, les salariés sont contraints à ne pas dépasser 39 heures. S’ils le désirent, ils peuvent travailler moins en utilisant les contrats à temps partiel, mais en aucun cas, ils ne peuvent dépasser cette durée légale. Pourtant, certains d’entre eux utilisent leur temps libre pour arrondir les fins de mois. Des métiers sont plus propices à ces activités illégales : qui n’a jamais utilisé les services …

Crop-Raiding Elephants And Conservation Implications At Way Kambas National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia, Philip J. Nyhus, Sumianto, Ronald Tilson
Philip J. Nyhus
Crop raiding by wild elephants is one of the most significant sources of park–people conflict in Sumatra, Indonesia. The distribution, impact and conservation implications of elephant crop-raiding in 13 villages that border Way Kambas National Park in southern Sumatra were studied for 18 months. The data are based on rapid village and field assessments, data logs maintained by village observers and a quantitative household survey. Elephants raided crops year-round at a mean rate of 0.53 elephants per day for the entire study area. The frequency of crop raiding was related to vegetation type along the park border, the size and …
