The Voice

Alongside the rapid political and social change post Arab Spring, Libyan writers were constantly producing volumes of literary work, whether in print or online, to reflect on the socio-political issues in the society. Among these writers is Libyan lawyer and writer Azza Al-Maghour; Al-Maghour has published a great many short stories during and after the revolution. What makes her work distinctive is that she not only narrates fictional events, but that she simultaneously reflects on the Libyan reality post revolution; and her voice, she is the voice of the people. Her narrative style is structured as a cultural and intellectual revolution. Using a critical discourse analysis, this paper will examine how Al-Maghour contributes to the socio-political construction of Libyan society, and argues that Al-Maghour`s narrative structure, story frame, language style, and word connotations are used as tools to channel her political views. This paper will pay special attention to Al-Maghour`s discussions of women rights, social justice, and Libyan nationalism through her story settings and her characters. This paper begins by giving a brief overview of the context of Libyan women in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution, followed by Azza Al-Maghour`s biography. The paper will then present an analysis of her stories through language, style, story structure, socio-political discussions, and her contribution as a Libyan female writer to the context of the post Arab Spring.

The Arab Spring

<p><strong>This article aims to describe the Arab Spring phenomenon through critical discourse analysis of the Qatar Debate. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with the note-taking method. The results of the study show that the structure of the discourse contained in the Qatar debate consists of several structures. First, the macrostructure that contains thematic elements or general themes, namely about ‘Arab Spring has failed’. Second, is the superstructure which contains schematic elements referring to the system and the rules of the game in the turn of speech. Third, the microstructure contains elements of semantics, syntax, stylistics, rhetoric, and metaphors. The semantic element of the Qatar debate shows the uses of language that aims to rever to connotative meanings. Syntactically, the Qatari debaters are dominant using active sentence patterns and noun sentences (jumlah ismiyah). From the stylistic aspect, both teams have their own style of language, as the pro team uses a lot of declarative styles while the counter team tends to use an interrogative style. The rhetorical and metaphorical elements are used a few times but not in large portions. This study also shows the different views of the two teams from two countries that represent the social views of the people in their respective countries towards the Arab Spring phenomenon.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong> – <em>Arab Spring, Critical Discourse Analyst, Qatar Debate</em></p>

José Sobral de Almada Negreiros was a Portuguese artist (mainly writer and painter) and a most dynamic and multifaceted figure in early 20th-century Portuguese culture. Moving constantly between literature and the visual arts, he produced a multidisciplinary oeuvre. Both in his literary work, which includes poetry, short stories, drama, and essays, and in his painting and graphic work, Almada Negreiros took a rebellious and combative stance towards traditional academism and aesthetic conservatism. One of the main advocates of avant-garde in Portugal, he also championed the modernization of the country, motivated by the ideal of "educating the people through scandal." Born in the then Portuguese African colony of São Tomé e Príncipe, Almada Negreiros lost his mother at the age of three. Because his father was organizing the Pavilion of Portuguese Colonies for the 1900 World Fair in Paris, he spent his childhood and adolescence in a boarding school in Lisbon. Later on he attended a secondary school in Coimbra and the International School in Lisbon. Almada Negreiros would never obtain a university degree; he was a self-taught artist and a fervent reader and drawer from a very young age. In 1911 he started his career as a collaborator of the newspaper A Sátira; a year later, he participated in the I Salão dos Humoristas (first Salon of Humorists), an exhibition of caricatures and graphic humor in Lisbon.

Abstract: this article explores how the concepts of ideology, identity, and power contribute to the construction of the voice of the Other in immigration short fiction. For this purpose, a twofold linguistic analysis using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)and stylistics is carried out. The innovative nature of the study can be perceived in its theoretical background as well as in its analytic process given that it combines CDA and stylistics andit proposes a corpus of immigration literature. The two short stories analyzed are “Negocios” by Junot Díaz and “The Arrangers of Marriage” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.The results show that the voice of the Other as immigrant is destructed and through processes of discursive power there is an attempt to shape his/her identity to conform to a new ideology.  Resumen: este artículo explora cómo los conceptos de ideología, identidad y poder contribuyen a la construcción de la voz del Otro en historias cortas de temática de inmigración. Para ello, se elabora un doble análisis lingüístico a través del Análisis Crítico del Discurso y de la pragmaestilística. El carácter innovador del trabajo se percibe en materia teórica y metodológica ya que utiliza un marco teórico combinado de ACD y estilística para analizar un corpus literario de relatos de inmigración. Los relatos analizados son “Negocios” (Junot Díaz) y “The Arrangers of Marriage” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie). Los resultados indican que la voz del Otro como inmigrante es destruida y que a través de procesos de poder discursivo existe un intento de moldear su identidad a fin de acomodarle a una nueva ideología.

Pada September 2014, Gramedia memperkenalkan karya Benny Arnas yang berjudul Cinta Tak Pernah Tua ke publik sebagai kumpulan cerita pendek. Meskipun kedua belas judul cerita yang ada di dalam karya ini ditulis dan telah dimuat sebelumnya dalam berbagai media massa nasional pada rentang tahun 2010-2014, pembaca akan menemukan keterjalinan kisah antarjudul cerita di dalamnya. Hal ini menyiratkan adanya problematik naratif sekaligus genre yang menyertai kelahiran karya ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjawab pertanyaan apakah Cinta Tak Pernah Tua merupakan sebuah karya sastra bergenre kumpulan cerita pendek, seperti yang dilabelkan oleh penerbitnya, atau sebuah novel? Mengapa karya ini menjadi problematik jika dilihat berdasarkan genrenya? Dengan melakukan pembacaan dekat dengan perspektif naratologi Gerard Genette, penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa Cinta Tak Pernah Tua bukanlah kumpulan cerita pendek, tetapi novel meskipun secara genealogis kelahiran kedua belas kisah sebagai satuan cerita yang terpisah. Pemahaman terhadap dimensi genre sebuah karya sastra tidak dapat disandarkan pada faktor-faktor yang berasal dari luar dimensi naratif karya.[Poblematic Genre of Benny Arnas Cinta Tak Pernah Tua] In September 2014, Gramedia introduced Cinta Tak Pernah Tua written by Benny Arnas to the public as a collection of short stories. Although the twelve story-titles in this work have been written and previously published in various national mass media in the range of 2010-2014, readers will find that the stories intertwine. This implies "problematic" narrative as well as a genre that accompanied the creation of this work. This article aims to answer the question of whether Cinta Tak Pernah Tua is a literary work collection of short stories, as labeled by the publisher, or a novel? Moreover, considering its genre, why is this work so problematic? By doing a close reading with Gerard Genette's narratology perspective, this research argues that Cinta Tak Pernah Tua is not a collection of short stories, but was actually a novel although genealogically the twelve stories were produced asseparate storiess. The understanding of a literary works genre dimension cannot rely on factors external to the narrative dimension of the work.Keywords: Cinta Tak Pernah Tua; genre problems; narratology; narrative structure

Philosophical Nature

The question of the Russian man – his past, present and future – is the central one in the philosophy of history. Unfortunately, at present this area of philosophy is not suffciently developed in Russia. Partly the reason for this situation is the lack of understanding by researchers of the role played by Russian classical literature and its philosophizing writers in historiosophy. The Hunting Sketches, a collection of short stories by I.S. Turgenev, is a work still undervalued, not fully considered not only in details but also in general meanings. And this is understandable because it is the frst systematic encyclopedia of Russian worldview, which is not envisaged by the literary genre. To a certain extent, Turgenev’s line is continued by I. Goncharov (the theme of the mind and heart), L. Tolstoy (the theme of the living and the dead, nature and society, the people and the lords), F. Dostoevsky (natural and rational rights), A. Chekhov (worthy and vulgar life). This article examines the philosophical nature of The Hunting Sketches, its structure and content. According to author’s opinion, stories can be divided into ten groups according to their dominant meanings. Thus, in The Hunting Sketches the main Russian types are depicted: “natural man,” rational, submissive, cunning, honest, sensitive, passionate, poetic, homeless, suffering, calmly accepting death, imbued with the immensity of the world. In the image and the comments of the wandering protagonist, Ivan Turgenev reveals his own philosophical credo, which he defnes as a moderate liberalism – freedom of thought and action, without prejudice to others.

Dialogue de la littérature et la peinture dans Femmes d’Alger dans leur appartement d’Assia Djebar

The paper presents the phenomenon of hybridity present in Assia Djebar’s writings based on the example of the collection of short stories entitled Femmes d’Alger dans leur appartement (Women of Algiers in Their Apartment). The title of the collection makes reference to famous paintings by Delacroix and Picasso but in doing so the author also supplements the Europocentric discourse with her own voice, the voice of a Francophone Algerian writer who, holding a dialogue with the painters, breaks with exoticism and the orientalising European approach. The dialogue with painting is accomplished on two levels; the first, diegetic and second, essayistic; in ‘The Overture’, and especially in ‘The Afterword’, which is not only a commentary to the painting works by Delacroix and Picasso, but also a complementation of the literary plot. The permanent link of Djebar’s writings to the dramatic present and the remembrance of the women deprived of their voice and subjected to reification is voiced powerfully in the work, which cannot be easily evaluated as it is very diverse in its references to other fields of art.
