Abstract Violence and its devastating effects challenge writers more than ever. Based on the novel L’Attentat [The Attack] (Julliard, 2005), by the Algerian writer Yasmina Khadra, this paper aims to demonstrate that the writing of violence is both the consequence and the mirror of today’s world convulsions. The analytical approach is focused on the functions of this type of writing, the various forms of violence and their problematic aspects, as well as on the relation of a discourse explaining terrorism with a humanist pacifist discourse, as it appears in the novel.

The Revolution

This paper, Understanding Violence in Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, deals with violence in its various forms in Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities. The novel recounts the French Revolution of 1789. In the novel, Dickens portrays a terrifying scene of blood and brutality. Violence appears in different forms. Critics have paid attention to Charles Dickens’ own fear of a similar revolution in England. The paper attempts to find the substance of that fear. The paper will discuss the three forms of violence in Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities; namely, violence as an inherent part of the French Revolution; violence committed by the crowds or mobs, and the evil that rises and grows as the Revolution continues. It will be argued that Dickens’ depiction of the crowd and mob behavior in A Tale of Two Cities captures the potential which is in the mentality of any crowd to grow violent. That is, a seemingly innocent start could lead to evil. A socio-psychological approach will also be consulted to analyze violence in the novel; violence as part of the revolution; violence committed by the mobs, and finally how the revolutionary masses turn evil.

Forms Of Violence

Violence against women is a heinous act committed against a woman, a wife, a mother, a sister, or even a daughter deliberately or not deliberately causing her psychological, emotional, and physical harm. The rise of this unhealthy phenomenon mainly in less-developed countries such as Jordan necessitates more academic attention not only because of its detrimental effect on the Jordanian women’s lives, but also because it is intentionally ignored and dismissed as taboo. With that, there has been a growing interest among Jordanian writers and sociologists in exploring the extent of this social ill through creative literary genres such as novels. This paper for one primarily examines the manifestations of violence against women in the Jordanian context through a textual analysis of Falling in the Sun by Sanaa Shalan, an author hailing from the contemporary Jordanian generation. Originally written in Arabic, this well-known novel gives prominence to the severe reality of the distress habitually suffered by many Jordanian women, notably the various forms of violence that they have to tolerate living in a multicultural male-controlled nation. With a feminist reading of Falling in the Sun (2014), we shall examine Shalan’s representations of violence against women in the novel as a dire social illness resulting from mistaken social beliefs, absence of laws, and misunderstanding of religion and gender inequality in the Jordanian society. Additionally, the current paper’s outline is constructed on three main forms of violence against women, i.e. physical, psychological and economic abuse as depicted in Falling in the Sun through the novel’s female characters, primarily the main protagonists.

Post Colonialism

 This study aims to disclose the cultural reflection of post-colonialism in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. This research uses analytical approach of post-colonial literature in the form of colonial behavior passed down to the weak, namely the colonized who consciously or unconsciously becomes the object of ideological oppression and power hegemony. The data collection techniques were reading, identifying, classifying, interpreting, inferring. The results of the analysis of  events in the novel suggest that the descriptions of the colonized  ideology are in the forms of hybrid ideology, mimicry, ethnicism, racism, sexism, and classism. The author describes that Gatsby has reflected ideology of hybrid, mimicry, racism, and ethnicism in his struggle to change his social status to be a rich man designated as the Jazz to attract Desy, his former girlfriend who has left him to marry Tom who has reflected ideology of classism and sexism to the colonialized native inhabitant.

Horizon Of Expectations

From the perspective of the reader-response criticism, this article underlines the ethical and esthetical tension between the duty of memory and the unspeakable in the context of the project « Rwanda : écrire par devoir de mémoire » and specificly in the novel L’aîné des orphelins by Tierno Monénembo. Although the « horizon » of expectations typical to the commitment toward the duty of memory is reinforced by the peritext (Genette, 1987), Monembo’s novel challenges the reader’s expectations by silencing and delaying the personnal story of young narrator-survivor Faustin.This stepback from direct violence allows the novel to focus on structual forms of violence (Galtung 2010) and urges the public to question his responsability in the testimonial reception.

Through the portrayal of never-ending march of a caravan of internally displaced persons (IDPs), the novel Tierra quemada (2013) by the Colombian author Óscar Collazos explores the interrelation between different forms of violence and their devastating impact on the peripheric outposts of Colombia. This article proposes an allegorical reading of the novel by examining how it represents the difficulty to break the cycle of violence and the impact of a low-intensity conflict on the IDPs, without presenting a voyeuristic perspective of the violence nor a Manichean vision of the armed conflict.

This essay approaches gender violence from a systemic violence study in Fernanda Melchor’s novel Temporada de huracanes (2017). It analyses the violence exerted towards three female characters form their point of view. The purpose is to identify the elements of Systematic violence that allow physical, psychological, and sexual abuse in the three main stories that represent gender violence within the novel. The method employed was a critical comparison between the different types of violence and its’ perpetrator’s’ motivations, framed in the systemic violence approach. Finally, it was concluded that these forms of violence are allowed within the setting of a patriarchal-colonial structure that reproduces dominance from the male gender towards the female gender. Which, ultimately, allows a normalized reproduction of violence towards women in various degrees: from psychologicalverbal aggressions, to systematic rape and femicide.

The gap as long as several decades between I. Bunin’s different opinions of Gogol’s personality and writings — from youthful admiration and feeling of emotional and spiritual proximity to the confession of ‘hatred’ in a diary note of emigrant times — has been considered both as historical-literary fact and psychological mysterious phenomenon. The key problem determining the angle of an analytical approach to the topic is the role and significance of the ‘Ukrainian factor’ in Bunin’s biography and literary art, his interest and affection towards Ukraine, its people, nature, history, traditions, and culture, which was testified by the writer’s confessions and became the subject of research in the Ukrainian scholarly discourse and journalism (E. Malaniuk). In that light, the stories by Bunin based on his traveling around Ukraine, the parts of the novel “Аrseniev’s life”, memoir and epistolary materials have been analyzed in the paper. Special attention has been paid to Bunin’s tender attitude towards T. Shevchenko, his creative works and his personality. It was Shevchenko’s poetry as well as “A Terrible Revenge” and “The Old-World Landowners” by Gogol that revealed Ukraine to young Bunin, entering his conscience and creative imagination. As to the later Bunin’s negative attitude towards Gogol, the decisive factors were dissimilarity of both writers’ personal and psychological features and difference of their creative methods and poetics, connected with the change of historical and literary paradigm. In particular, Gogol was the forerunner to modernism from which Bunin stayed away.

This research sought to read the spatial patterns in the novel of Bibi Fatima and the sons of the king, where I began the research by defining my theory of the term space, as a general concept that includes several spatial patterns that form its general structure. Thereafter I reviewed the features of the general space in the novel, to clarify the particles that constitute it, and I was able to monitor seven spatial patterns that define the features of this space, namely: (1) voluntary places of residence- (2) places of forced residence – (3) public places of movement- (4) private places of movement- (5) movable places (6) religious place and (7) the symbolism of the place. The aim of the study is to reveal the aesthetics of geographical space in the novel, as a narrative element that contributed with other narrative elements in construction of the novel. In this study, I adhered to the technical- analytical approach, which enabled me to monitor the small particles that resemble the space of the novel, and then classify and display these spatial particles according to the importance of its contribution to the formation and progress of the events of the novel. Perhaps the most important findings I have reached was the clear susceptibility shown by the text on technical analysis; Due to the diversity of spatial forms that resemble its geographical space. I recommend more research that deals with other elements of narration in the novel, such as separation of research about the structure of time, or about the status of the narrator and the nature of his correlations.

Forms Of Violence

In 1980, after decades of violent war, the apartheid regime came to an end, Zimbabwe was declared an independent state, and Robert Mugabe’s party the Zimbabwean African Union–Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) ascended to power. While black leaders concentrated on the struggle against the tyranny of racial segregation, independence did not challenge gender hierarchies or minimize patriarchal privilege. Women soldiers who participated in the guerrillas were excluded from the spheres of power and relegated to poverty and invisibility. Here, I analyze how Dangaremba’s novel Nervous Conditions unveils women’s response to multiple forms of violence that target their bodies and minds. Although Dangaremba does not refer explicitly to the Chimurenga, also known as the bush war, in the novel, the sadness, bitterness, and sentiment of betrayal subsume women’s feeling about their absence in the construction of a new nation. For women writers, the representation of violence, through a feminine and postcolonial perspective, opens up creative ways to pursue textual liberation, thus defying literary genre and literary forms often very connected to systems of power. In this sense, her narrative instills in the reader the sentiment which evolves from women’s condition in the novel.
