Starting from the idea formulated by Edward Said that the experience of being homeless generates a distanced reading of historical facts, we propose the present study, which consists of analyzing how exile intervenes in the narrative strategies of the Palestinian British artist Mona Hatoum. Our purpose is to create a theoretical framework that helps us understand the reason for her formal and aesthetic choices, where the use of fiction and the duality between attraction and repulsion stand out. The strategy used consists of delving into the paradoxical relationships of Hatoum's experience as an Arab artist of the diaspora through symmetries and parallels with historical references who experienced similar situations. This strategy is used as an introduction and contextualization of the work of our artist under study in order to understand her discursive development, her role as speaker of the Arab sociopolitical reality in the heart of the Western world and the value of the vision that it provides us about said reality.

Acoustic Space

Nau dos Insensatos is an electroacoustic composition by Conrado Silva commissioned for the XXth São Paulo Art Biennial of 1989. The analysis of the piece reveals that an intrinsic narrative content can be deduced from the sequence of materials, topics, and formal organization used in the composition. The theoretical framework used to reach these conclusions considered the music narrative theory of Byron Almén, besides the classical semiotic interpretation of C. S. Peirce. Brief accounts of the principles of these theories were provided to subsidy the interpretation. As the creation of the piece had a direct relation with the space where it should be performed, the paper also reports the problems generated by the building’s acoustics, besides some contextual information about the exhibition. Theoretical information about the relation between acoustic space and music, applied to music of three other Brazilian composers enhances the approach to Conrado Silva’s music.

Resumo: Na minha intervenção procurarei focar aspectos vários da poética visual e narrativa da artista palestiniana Mona Hatoum, há longos anos exilada em Londres e Berlim, à luz do conceito de “contraponto”, de Edward Said, e da sua interrogação das fronteiras do público e do privado. A desfamiliarização do espaço doméstico e dos objectos “banais” do quotidiano propostos pela artista na sua obra, as suas narrativas de des-figuração e des-emolduramento performativo, serão aqui debatidas enquanto metáfora de estranhamento emocional e despaisamento social e político, em tempos de exílio e migrações. Através da minha discussão e dos meus estudos de caso procurarei igualmente reflectir sobre os novos desafios que o Feminismo como movimento emancipatório e pensamento crítico resiliente enfrenta hoje, num contexto transnacional.

Islamic Faith

The role of women in Islamic countries is very different from the notion of women in Europe, because the religious worldview has been dominant for centuries so much that it has subdued all other spheres of society. The struggle for equality, which has been going on for decades in the so-called Western world, in Islamic countries is just getting started. Consequently, it is not surprising that the portrayal of women and everything related to them in the art and literature of Islamic countries is limited in relation to the West. Islam is a very strict religion and forbids the display of objects that lead to fetishism, such as human figures and cult images, because it represents a threat to the creative power of Allah. In the past, Islamic women did not have the opportunity to affirm themselves in the arts, because despite the fact that Islam does not support "discrimination" between men and women, at the same time it does not defend the idea of "equality". However, the postmodern era brings a revival, and today they are finally enjoying their rights and are greatly represented on the world art scene. By presenting historical themes, the artists in a special way convey emotional messages about the suffering of individual members of the Islamic faith, and in addition define and reexamine patriarchy, feminism and fundamentalism through their works. The themes of suffering are best depicted in the work of two Islamic women, Shirin Neshat and Mona Hatoum, so this paper will talk about their opus and the way in which Muslim women are affirmed in the modern age through historical-artistic and sociological approach.

This paradigm shift occurred from philological approach, criticism of the text of the Al-Qur’an to approach literature; study the Al-Qur’an in the Western world in recent years is very widespread and growing. In contrast to previous studies in the past were very much influenced by the spirit of colonialism, and orientalism misionarisme, study the Al-Qur’an in recent years shows an understanding and appreciation of intellectual property

On a theoretical level, the article investigates sexually orientated discourses as a means to censure and demonise other religious communities than one’s own whilst staging one’s own religious community as the most “natural” and “liberal” example. With reference to the works of Michel Foucault and Edward Said it is thus argued that seemingly liberal and lenient attitudes towards sexuality can be exploited in an intolerant and hegemonic fashion. On an empirical level, this paradoxical dynamic is investigated in relation to Islam, Judaism and the so-called Western world. In terms of historical periods, late antiquity and (late) modernity are adduced. It is demonstrated that early and classical Islam styled itself as sexually liberal and easy-going over and against an alleged puritanical and rigid Judaism. In late modernity, in a Muslim European diaspora setting, it is demonstrated that Islam has fallen prey to the very same sexual “liberal” tactics as was perpetrated in late antiquity; that is, being castigated for being puritanical and rigid. However, contemporary Muslims are caught in a double bind since the charges against their alleged puritanism and bigotry runs parallel with charges against an alleged excessive and transgressive patriarchal sexuality.

The Creation

The article considers narrative strategies of the creation of the effect of the reader’s involvement in the protagonist’s life experience in Tamara Horiha Zernia’s novel Dotsya, which is devoted to the important problem of today — the war on the east of Ukraine. The theoretical framework of the study is based on Monika Fludernik’s cognitive-narratological conception of experientiality referring to the idea of the reader’s familiarization with a character’s experience by narrative means. Three strategies of creating the experientiality in this novel are seen as the most important: mimetism while reflecting the region realities, manipulation by the category of local identity, and vivid emotionality of the novel’s narrative. The protagonist’s depersonalization, the display of corporal reactions and the inclusion of invective digressions into the fictional discourse are considered as prevailing patterns of emotional expression.

The early poetry of Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) is characterised by its overt resistance and confrontational tone against the Israeli forces. This research paper explores the themes of homeland and exile in Darwish’s poetry during the 1960s, tracing how the 1967 defeat has changed his poetic tone from the highly confrontational to the articulate conversational. It, therefore, contributes to the fields of literary criticism and Arab literary studies focusing on modern poetry of resistance. Although Darwish was still living on Palestinian lands during this period, he never felt at home, expressing his feelings of strangeness and suffering in a usurped land by force. The theoretical framework of Edward Said (1935-2003) is employed in this paper to question whether the themes of exile and homeland shape and reshape the Darwish’s understanding of resistance. Based on the analyses of this paper, Darwish’s poetry of resistance has dramatically changed due to his severe disappointment by the 1967 defeat, marking the collapse of Arab nationalism and its propaganda of the Arab homeland. Still, this shift does not affect Darwish’s rejection of the Israeli existence in Palestine. Instead, his poetry by the end of this decade still questions the violent and aggressive nature of the Israeli soldier despite Darwish’s intimate and human conversational style of his poems, thereby adding to the controversial analyses of Darwish’s poetics.

The Novel

This article proposes the novel TransAtlantic, from the IrishAmerican writer Colum McCann, as an example of what Edward Said called a “countermemory.” Such a countermemory facilitates the taking of critical positions against what the British intellectual Tony Judt called the “Washington Consensus:” the ideological ‘pensée unique’ which has dominated the Western world in recent decades, resulting in the substitution of an ethically-informed public conversation by a powerful discourse which prioritises, above all, the values of the so-called marketplace. This article explores how, via his historical novel, his participation as a public intellectual and through his concept of identity as art, McCann gives us a world of different values, values of trans-national and universal solidarity which implicate figures from Frederick Douglass to Barack Obama or the Hollywood actor Gabriel Byrne, and are expressed perhaps most radically in the language of what we may call an IrishAmerican “patriotism.”

In 2010, the Eurozone became the epicentre of the world crisis. The vulnerability of Europe appears to be linked to the specific institutional arrangement which organises monetary, financial and budgetary policies within the Eurozone. This article tries to understand the evolution of theeuduring a short but decisive historical sequence (2007–12) in a theoretical framework that puts elements of Gramsci’s reflections on the theme of crisis, and especially his notion of ‘Caesarism’, at its centre. It addresses the current debate concerning the relationships between democratic politics and neoliberalism, while focusing on how the radicalisation of the crisis put at stake the co-construction of capitalism and representative democracy in the Western world sincewwii.
