Analytical Study of Time and Place in Jafar Modares Sadeghi's Novel Gavakhuni and Lotfia Al-Dulimi's Man Yareth alFardous

Novel is actually an art genre related to time-space. Talking about place inevitably evokes time. This is because these two elements complement each other. Time and place constitute the space of the story. Because the action of the characters in the story takes place in a certain space and in the context of time. This research aims to investigate the two elements of time and place in the novel Gavkhuni by Jafar Modares Sadeghi and the novel Man Yareth al-Fardous by Lotfia Al-Dulimi. The method that the research has adopted is an analytical-descriptive-comparative method that analyzes the two elements of time and place in two works. The author of the research tries to show the importance of these two elements in the aforementioned two works. The events of the two works take place in the present and the past in terms of time, which shows the connection of these two works in terms of time. Although the novel "Gawkhuni" contains a pessimistic view that is the result of the author's life of suffering and hardship; But he uses open and spacious places to express his lost freedom in real life. However, the author of the novel " Man yareth al-Fardous " has found remarkable mastery and excellence in moving between the places of the novel and describing the places, characters, and cities.

Spinsterization of Women or Spinster Women in the Arab Women’s Literature: An Imposed Reality or a Rejected Choice? Hayfā’ Bayṭār’s Novel, Nisā’ bi Aqfāl/Women in Locks1, as a Sample

In my opinion, the art of the novel is an invented female art. It is a product of the hidden depths and interiors of the woman’s suffering. “Every woman is pregnant of her ‘novel’ as one critic argued and therefore, she does not see it necessary to write it on paper as long as she lives sit. The woman is a creator and an artist in her nature and it is sufficient for us to say the mistress of narrators is a woman called Scheherazade, who is the mistress of the tales the Arab nights, namely, Alf Laila wa Laila. What proves my view strongly is the historical error that literary historians and critics committed when they argued that the author of Alf Laila wa Laila is an ‘anonymous author’ instead of analyzing it stylistically in order to understand that its author is an ‘anonymous woman’ who could not put her name on the tales under a religious oppressive culture that is full of taboos. In my opinion, Hayfā’ Bayṭār is the mistress of female narration in her search of ‘lost freedom’. Nothing was left for the woman through which she could achieve her existence except talking and writing, after she had been raped physically and spiritually. In my opinion, the novel of this study, Nisā’ bi Aqfāl/Women in Locks is a novel of yearning for freedom for the women who live under norms and traditions that escalate with the escalation of extremism and fanatism, and suppression of the prohibited trilogy of religion, sex and politics. The man managed to imprison the woman and captivate her with his taboos behind invisible bars that made her live in an exile, and alienation within her homeland. Like Scheherazade, she can either talk or die, and ‘death’ here is in a memory that rapes one’s soul as the body is raped. By the written ‘word’, she exposes ‘rape’ and protests against injustice, and by self-revelation, the woman’s presence overcomes her absence. Writing is a medical instrumentality that grants the woman liberation, emancipation, and purification with which, she reveals the psychological accumulations and piled bitter memories, and denude a reality which resembles a play that is repeated on the ears of history and its thresholds.

The Arts Of The Performance – Beyond The Limits

Abstract Drama writings and theatre performances have always been, in my opinion, the mirror in which our society reflects itself. If in the decades before the 90s our society witnessed a total or quasi-total lack of freedom and a lack of voices to be heard in theatres, in the 90s we have all been witnesses to an absolute freedom that has been constantly managed chaotically. Immediately after The Revolution, the long lost freedom has soon become confusing and has turned into a heavy tormenting issue. The new drama writing and theatre performance have needed more than 10 years to change into something new. The independent theatres and the new drama have arisen as a reaction to the crisis that our theatres underwent in the 90s. The new artist of the new millennium is often self-taught, he has to improve his organizational abilities, to think big when it comes to new projects, to see the bigger picture and not to remain stranded into his own piece of art.

Wealth Implications of Slavery and Racial Discrimination for African American Descendants of the Enslaved

We compare the 2018 per capita Black–White wealth gap of about US$352,250 with portions of the estimated total cost of slavery and discrimination to African American descendants of the enslaved. For the period of slavery in the United States, we arrive at estimates of about US$12 to US$13 trillion in 2018 dollars using Darity’s land-based and Marketti’s price-based estimation methods, respectively. Estimates using Craemer’s wage-based method tend to be higher ranging from US$18.6 trillion at 3% interest to US$6.2 quadrillion at 6% interest. The value of lost freedom (LF) based on Japanese American World War II internment reparations is estimated at 3% interest to amount to US$35 trillion and at 6% to US$16 quadrillion. Further research is required to estimate the cost of lost opportunities (LC) and pain and suffering (PS). Further research is also required to estimate the costs of colonial slavery, as well as racial discrimination following the abolition of slavery in the United States to African American descendants of the enslaved. Whether the full cost of slavery and discrimination should be compensated, or only a portion, and at what interest rate remain to be determined by negotiations between the federal government and the descendant community.

The Necropolitics of Liberty

This article approaches the speculative fiction of the survivalist right as an archive that can illuminate the continuities between the fantasies of necropolitical power that animate the radical right and undergird the sovereignty of the United States. Focusing on Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupier LaVoy Finicum’s 2015 novel <i>Only by Blood and Suffering: Regaining Lost Freedom,</i> this essay argues that such survivalist fiction, in imagining a future civil conflict that enables the reinstatement of Lockean property rights, should be understood as settler colonial rather than anti-statist. In representing the dystopian future in which "public lands" are reopened as a frontier, survivalist novels like Finicum’s reaffirm, rather than challenge, the fantasy that produces the constituted power of the United States.

Benito Perez Galdos and the “Female Problem”: The Lost Freedom in the Novel “Tristana”

This article analyses the main (anti)feminist ideas by Benito Perez Galdos (1843–1920), one of the major writers of Spanish realism and naturalism and the author of the novel Tristana (1892), published in the crucial moment of Spanish social history, when the “female problem” had a growing influence on the Spanish society of that time. In the analysis, the reference is the literary text as a social and symbolic act, the identity owner and the network of textual “cracks” used by the writer to communicate with the readers in the process of textual actualisation. The subject of the analysis is the group of ideological postulates of the writer, who uses the literary text to represent and spread the concrete ideological concept, actualised in the acting of the main characters, relations between genders and the manifestation of power and control in the rigid, traditional and androcentric bourgeois society. The main thematic problems presented by this research are: the detection of the elements of social subversion that prepare the ideological ground for the possible conquest of female freedom, the right to choose and form the concept of the “new woman”; pointing to the process where the female body could be the element of identity and the perception of oneself; and, finally, the critic of this significant novel as a literary work which represents the perfect analysis of the (im)possibilities which a woman of that period has at her disposal if she wants to change the existing order and/or gain personal freedom.

Mathew Thomson, Lost Freedom: The Landscape of the Child and the British Post-war Settlement

This is a narrative of childhood and its construction and an elegy for a lost, romanticised world of child freedom in the context of a wide-ranging account of England after the Second World War. It is charmingly illustrated with photographs from Roger Mayne and others representing urban childhood in a new way in the years of austerity and affluence alike. Thomson follows up his earlier account of psychology by here investigating and, to some extent, challenging the chronology and the emphasis of historians of childhood. He uses three main sites of symbolic space: the institution, the home and the outside world. He acknowledges that he owes much to predecessors who have written about these institutions in particular but could say more about one of the main imaginative landscape of childhood studies in the twentieth century—the primary school—where some of his questions have already been raised by historians of education. He covers evacuation, war, cars, attachment, play, streets and paedophilia as well as children's rights.

Lost freedom: the landscape of the child and the British post-war settlement

Lost Freedom addresses the widespread feeling that there has been a fundamental change in the social life of children in recent decades: the loss of childhood freedom, and in particular, the loss of freedom to roam beyond the safety of home. Mathew Thomson explores this phenomenon, concentrating on the period from the Second World War until the 1970s, and considering the roles of psychological theory, traffic, safety consciousness, anxiety about sexual danger, and television in the erosion of freedom. Thomson argues that the Second World War has an important place in this story, with war-borne anxieties encouraging an emphasis on the central importance of a landscape of home. War also encouraged the development of specially designed spaces for the cultivation of the child, including the adventure playground, and the virtual landscape of children's television. However, before the 1970s, British children still had much more physical freedom than they do today. Lost Freedom explores why this situation has changed. The volume pays particular attention to the 1970s as a period of transition, and one which saw radical visions of child liberation, but with anxieties about child protection also escalating in response. This is strikingly demonstrated in the story of how the paedophile emerged as a figure of major public concern. Thomson argues that this crisis of concern over child freedom is indicative of some of the broader problems of the social settlements that had been forged out of the Second World War.
