Employment of the Question as a Transition Mechanism from the Existing to the Desired in Rawiya Jarjoura Burbara's Collection of Short Stories: L? ?Ur?d? ?an ?A?t?da A?laika/ I Don't Want to Get Used to You*

This study introduces a critical analytical reading of Rawiya Jarjoura Burbara's collection of short stories, L? ?Ur?d? ?an ?A?t?da A?laika / I Don't Want to Get Used to You, published in 2020, a year after the outbreak of the Coronavirus in November 2020. The collection consists of 23 narrative texts that are classified into three chapters. The first chapter is called, A?la -al- ?ar?q– M?a al-N?s/ On the Road-With People, which is the largest chapter and includes 10 short stories; the second chapter is called, A?n al-N?s – Habl al-Kadib/ With People-the Rope of Lies, which consists of 7 short stories, and the third chapter, which is called Ma?ahu-Tuffa?at Adam/ With Him – Adam's Apple, which consists of 6 short stories. The study attempts to highlight the theme of the 'Question' in the collection, as the texts, in general, fall in the genre of 'Literature of Question'. Throughout the collection, the writer raises daily life human questions that express her refusal acceptance of matters as they are and getting used to for granted matters as if the possibility of changing them does not exist anymore. The writer introduces questions that are likely to awaken the reader from his hibernation and wake the human beings, in general, to start thinking, questioning, changing, and getting out of the circle of accepting things as for granted and getting used to them. The writer, represented by the Narrators of her stories, refuses to get used to several social, psychological, political, and human life matters.

Afroperipheral indigeneity in Wayde Compton’s The Outer Harbour

Black Canadian writer Wayde Compton’s short story collection The Outer Harbour (2015) is located in the Afroperiphery of British Columbia which stands as a ‘contact zone’ that enables the alliances between Black and Indigenous peoples and also establishes a fecund ground of possibilities to emphasize the way in which cross-ethnic coalitions and representations reconsider imperial encounters previously ignored. The stories participate in the recent turn in Indigenous studies towards kinship and cross-ethnicity to map out the connected and shared itineraries of Black and Indigenous peoples and re-read Indigeneity in interaction. At the same time, the stories offer a fresh way to revisit Indigeneity in Canada through the collaborative lens and perspective of the Afroperipheral reality. In doing so, they contribute to calling attention to current cross-ethnic struggles for Indigenous rights and sovereignty in Canada that rely on kinship and ethnic alliances to keep on interrogating the shortcomings of the nation’s multiculturalism.

Ted van Lieshout’s Daring Approach to Fairytale Illustrations and Texts

The Dutch author and illustrator Ted van Lieshout is famous and perhaps even infamous for his taboo-breaking children’s books. Van Lieshout has also found an original angle for fairy-tale illustrations, which he develops in particular in his short-story collections Driedelig paard (Tripartite Horse) from 2011 and Onder mijn matras de erwt (Under my mattress the pea) from 2017. While in the former, he illustrates the stories with sonnets compiled of images (“beeldsonnetten”), in the latter he uses dressed up wooden puppets to give new meaning to the texts. Both intriguing and mundane, uncanny and humorous, these images lend themselves to various interpretations. Moreover, Van Lieshout re-frames the fairy tales by placing them in a broader context: the short stories in Driedelig paard explore the tension between realism and fantasy, while in Onder mijn matras de erwt, Van Lieshout uses the tales for an exploration of divorce, loneliness and death. All these efforts combined give Grimm’s fairy tales new meaning and relevance for a contemporary, double-addressed audience.

Det syge USA

Acknowledging the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic as an exacerbating factor for precarious US communities, this article reads Tony Kushner’s critically acclaimed play Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes (1992-95) and Michael Henson’s collection of short stories Maggie Boylan (2015) alongside Susan Sontag (Illness as Metaphor), Jasbir Puar (The Right to Maim) and Lauren Berlant (“Slow Death”). The play and the short story collection represent examples of critiques of a deep-rooted disorder that characterizes the precaritizing American social and political system. From the severely mishandled AIDS crisis in Reagan’s conservative United States to the equally disastrous management of the opioid and meth epidemics in the 21st century, American society and politicians are failing their citizens, a failure reflected in and critiqued by literary texts. Whereas Angels in America is an overtly political drama, in which marginalized people come together to respond to political erasure and violence with imaginative countercultural utopianism, Maggie Boylan traces the gradual decay and corruption of a contemporary American community, functioning as a microcosm of the Unites States as a whole. This society is plagued by several crippling “epidemics” and “crises” that leave bodies broken and communities in tatters. Despite glimmers of hope, Kushner and Henson paint a grim picture of a sickness at the core of American society.

A Farewell to Anthropocentrism in American Postbellum Prose: A Reconsideration of Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried

This article is driven by the urgency of the current ecological situation and humanity’s role in its development. It explores the ways in which nature, humanity, and the relationship between the two are negotiated in Tim O’Brien’s collection of short stories The Things They Carried (1990). Close readings of key passages show that through use of anthropomorphisms nature is portrayed as active rather than passive, and that the soldiers are, on the one hand, alienated and removed from US society and, on the other, embedded within nature. As a result, the human-nature dualism is exposed as a reductive, hierarchical, and separatist approach to a multifaceted, complex relation between interacting, equally valuable entities. The analysis of prevalent themes and devices—including anthropomorphisms, temporal non-linearity, decentering and fragmentation of the individual, and the omnipresence of death as well as the narrator’s preoccupation with mortality—provides a blueprint for an ecocritical reading of postwar literature. This approach values nature in itself and generates an understanding of the ways in which the anthropocentric worldview prevalent in the Western world encourages a misinformed and harmful attitude towards nature.

Necib Mahfuz’un Kısa Öykülerinde Türk Figürü

In this article, the Turkish figure has been investigated in the three stories of Naguib Mahfouz. These stories are Yaqaza al-mūmyā, al-Zayf and the ˁAbeth aristocracy. Naguib Mahfouz published his first collection of short stories, Hams al-Junūn, in 1938. The three stories that are the subject of this study are included in this book. Presumably, he wrote these stories at a time when the civilization of the pharaohs was influential on the intelligentsia in society. During this period, the interest and deep appreciation of many intellectuals for the period of the Pharaohs increased due to the influence of nationalist movements. In these stories, Turkish characters are presented as people having villainous tendencies. According to Naguib Mahfouz, aristocracy is the leading factor that causes the deterioration of society. The aristocracy that exploits society and despises them is narrated through the Turkish family. Turks are shown as foreign admirers who live in isolation from their own culture and religion. There were no stories in which the Turkish figure was seen as a dominant character in the later story books. This situation is probably due to the fact that the Turks did not hold important state positions in Egypt after the first quarter of the 20th century. As a result, their influence in the society has decreased.

The Concept of Death in Katherine Anne Porter's The Jilting of Granny Weatherall

This article is concerned with the study of the concept of death in general and the major causes of death in particular. Death can be explained as an action or fact of dying or ending the life of a human being or a living organism. It focuses on the concept of death in some religions. Also, it highlights the theme of death in The Jilting of Granny Weatherall. The story is one of Katherine Anne Porter's short story collections titled Flowering Judas, which is published in 1930. Katherine Anne Porter was a celebrated American reporter; she is a person who was writing for newspapers and magazines. She wrote dissertations and long short stories. The writer describes the most recent dreams such as emotions and memories of an aged woman whose name is Granny Weatherall, the main character, and the descriptive personality in the tale is mostly standing on Porter’s grandmother's life. The author uses her grandmother's surname Granny Weatherall for the title of the story. Granny was eighty years old, being around all of her relatives. Granny dies on her deathbed. Throughout her sickness, she remembers periods from her childhood to death. She suffers from a dangerous illness. Thus, Granny realizes that everything ends up, even the long-lasting relationship with her husband. She has been jilted first by her married man and the second husband by death. The story also deals with spiritual confidence and risky sickness. Finally, the story is semi-autobiographical, including events for Porter's own life and the main character Granny Weatherall because both had several unsuccessful marriages and they had intensely annoyed with bad health. The present research aims at reducing the impact of death in the community, especially among elders and adults who would be affected by the terror of one of their relative's death. The paper compares three religious thoughts about death which are Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism.

Invisible or inaudible? The representation of working-class immigrants in the short fiction of Junot Díaz

In Junot Díaz’s short story collections, Drown (1996) and This Is How You Lose Her (2012), sound plays a crucial role in the representation of the experiences of the Dominican migrants in the United States who populate their pages. The collections show the liminal situations which the stories’ characters face, emphasizing their shifting acoustic environments and the pressure to shape one’s own sonic identity to meet the demands of the new language and culture. The experiences of these Dominican migrants – particularly how they are targeted by the Americans they encounter because of their accents – reflect the politics of a cultural neo-racism which differs from the discourse of colonial Otherness but which bears the same monocultural logic. As such, the stories’ migrants become silenced rather than invisible. At the same time, a belief in the power of the Other’s personal and culturally specific voice as a transformative element is emphasized in these collections with Díaz’s use of Spanish and the narrator’s persistent presence throughout all of the stories.

You can write entire stories just following a peculiar phrase synchronically and diachronically. Like this prayer called the Bosnian prayer, which another friendthrough -words sent me. It is not Bosnian in origin, of course. It started, they say, as poetry in the mind of the great Tagore, probably as fragments, and traveled all the way from Calcutta for a century, over many borders and open landscapes, transformed through different languages, to the pen of a Bosnian translator, and became one of the most cited prayers in all kinds of official and private contexts. The Bosnian prayer jumped into English, and from there it bounced back into the world and impressed people so much they called it by our name. And it is ours. And it is Tagore’s. And it is yours, like all words. At least that’s what the legend says. And so, in the end, if I may think of, or hope for, the future, my idea of an eternal afterlife is not, as in some people’s opinions , a life in a place where everyone speaks one and the same language, some dialect of the protofather Adam, which encompasses all words that capture the essences of all things; instead, it’s an eternity spent learning millions of languages, getting to know each other, trivas for all eternity.

Zavičajni prostor u „Hronici moje varoši“ Momčila Nastasijevića i romanu „Nišči“ Vidosava Stevanovića

The paper deals with the imagination of the homeland, based on the modernistic recontextualization of the mythical-folklore pattern, in Momcilo Nastasijević’s short stories collection Hronika moje varoši and in Vidosav Stevanović’s novel Nišči. The aim of the paper is to point out the mythopoetic meanings of toponyms and microtoponyms, which form a fictional map of “impure” localities of the homeland, onto- logically autonomous in relation to the real world and imbued with special semantic layers. Considering that the space is inextricably permeated with faces and events in the analyzed literary works, the paper also deals with the relationship between spatial charac- teristics and mental, moral, biological weaknesses of the locals, due to which an aura of “evil fate” is created over the homeland.

Sounding displaced memories: Narrative soundscapes in Edwidge Danticat’s Krik? Krak!

In her short story collection Krik? Krak!, the Haitian American writer Edwidge Danticat realizes new formal strategies that integrate vernacular orality into her writings. She does so to construct evocative narrative soundscapes through which difficult memories can be processed. This article examines Danticat’s approach to otherness, migration, and displacement in an attempt to disentangle the function of language, sound, and memory in the development of authentic Caribbean identities and literatures. It aims to trace the workings of sound and mobility in the literary spaces Danticat creates to revisit colonial and patriarchal history and, in so doing, reroot and reroute cultural memories previously lost to violence and organized forgetting. In crossing and replicating the oceanic routes in which past and present intersect, Krik? Krak! opens critical sites of (d)enunciation that rework personal and collective memories of displacement by means of language and sound.

Colonial Racial Ethnocentrism Towards Indigenous People in a Short Story Collection “Semua untuk Hindia” by Iksaka Banu (A Postcolonial Study)

Dutch colonialism in Indonesia brought about physical oppression and conquest of territory and instilled racism. Understanding racism positions the indigenous people as a third class whose rank has never been higher than the Dutch. Racial ethnocentrism leads people to concepts and views of life that consider their culture to be far superior to the culture owned by others. This study aimed to reveal and describe the forms of racial ethnocentrism brought by the Dutch towards Indonesian society. The data were obtained from excerpts or quotes that contain elements of racism from a short story collection “Semua untuk Hindia (All for Hindia)” by Iksaka Banu. The analysis results revealed that racial ethnocentrism or racism emerged in racial prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination in the short story collection. The cultivation of these ethnocentric behaviors was based on the Western cultural concept and view of ideal human beings and the human position passed down from generation to generation. It impacted the Dutch’s social construction and use of authority in oppressing the indigenous people in Indonesia. Indigenous figures were oppressed, marginalized, and their human rights were ignored. Research on the short story collection can strengthen the disclosure of colonialism history in Indonesia.

“Cops, the harbingers of the enemy”

Frantz Fanon’s rebound book Wretched of the Earth discusses his theories and understandings of decolonization, specifically the role of art and culture and how it is affected by a colonizer. In this essay, I analyze whether his theories can be applied to N.K. Jemisin’s short story “The City Born Great,” from her collection of short stories How Long ’Til Black Future Month?, which considers the diaspora, not the colonized nations that Fanon considers in his own writings. Through her reflection of the realities of a people, and her portrayal of an “awakener” of the people, I conclude that although Jemisin does write literature of combat, a term coined by Fanon to include anti-colonial writing and art, she does so in a way that uniquely reflects the African-American diaspora that “The City Born Great” considers and reflects.

Having the meaning of the words in their own language helps the reader to understand the story.

THE IMAGE OF THE CIVIL WAR IN “TALES OF SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS” BY AMBROSE BIERCE

The article deals with the image of the Civil War in war stories by Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). The specifics of the war's representation in writer's literary works are analyzed, the features of man at war are revealed. The particularity of the artistic world of stories by A.

The scientific novelty of the work is a complex analysis of early creativity of A. Bierce in the context of American military fiction.

Queer Bandits and Partisans: Reimagining Male Homosexuality in Early Post-War Italy

ABSTRACT Despite state-sanctioned antipathy towards homosexuality, queer content began to proliferate in Italian art during the mid-to-late 1940s. It is now a commonplace that representations of homosexual characters in this period fell into a paradigm of fascists-criminals-paedophiles, but this essay challenges that notion. Tracing cultural representations of male homosexuality in Italy demonstrates that vilification was only one strategy employed by Italian artists of the early post-war years. Indeed, writers and filmmakers alike utilised increasingly realistic depictions based on actual cultural practices of homosexual men. In particular, Alberto Lattuada’s film Il bandito (1946) and Angelo Del Boca’s short story collection Dentro mi è nato l’uomo (1948) exemplify this trend. Analysing and contextualising these efforts, this essay contributes to a cultural history of homosexuality in Italy by elaborating on two tropes – cruising and egalitarian relationship structures – which make it possible to reconceive both how homosexual men were represented and how they may have lived.

MEMBACA DUNIA SUREALIS IBW. WIDIASA KENITEN DALAM KUMPULAN CERPEN BUDUH NGELAWANG

Buduh Ngelawang's short story collection is one of the literary works that was born from the hands of a teacher named IBW. Widiasa Keniten. Apart from being a teacher, he is also active in writing literary works in both Balinese and Indonesian. His works should be appreciated and given comments in order to add to the repertoire of literary criticism in the field of modern Balinese literature itself. In Buduh Ngelawang's short story collection, the author builds a new world in modern Balinese literature that has never been done before. The author offers a new model in structuring the modern Balinese literary form, namely the surreal form. On this occasion, Buduh Ngelawang's short story collection will be analyzed based on Tzevetan Todorov's narratological structure theory. In the narratological analysis, the semantics (in absensia) aspect will be discussed. The semantic aspect relates to the involvement of denotative meaning and connotative meaning as a way to express meaning.
