This article deals with Rupert Goold’s film version of Macbeth (2010). Based on a stage production, this film is set in an unspecified Soviet country. I will analyze Goold’s creation of a stage-to-screen hybrid recording framed as a surveillance film. Relying on Michel Foucault’s and Gilles Deleuze’s works as well as various contributions made by Cultural Materialist and New Historicist critics, I intend to explore the power relations in this surveillance film. I will also examine how the surveillance film conventions deployed by Goold turn the narrative into a meta-filmic event. This allows the viewer to perceive surveillance as part of the subject matter of the story and as inseparable from its narrative structure. Eventually, this will serve to explore how surveillance entirely transforms the filmscape. What begins as a film set in a surveillance society ends up as an environment dominated by a society of control.

This paper introduces a formal procedure for analyzing narratives that was developed by the French/Lithuanian structuralist, A. J. Greimas. The focus is on demonstrating the utility of Greimas's ideas for analyzing one aspect of personal narratives: identity-construction. Reconstructing the basic actantial structure from self-narratives is shown to provide cues to power differentials among actants as perceived by the narrator. Distinguishing narrated events along conflict versus communication axes helps the analyst determine whether an experiential or a discursive domain is of primacy for the narrator. Moreover, investigation of communicative outcomes can be used to validate (or invalidate) findings on power relations. Analyses of narrative plots may afford insights into how people engage objects with cultural valuations within the various social contexts recounted in narrative data. Finally, Greimas's theory of modalities can be used to differentiate among these plots within narrative trajectories. This approach to narrative analysis differs from more traditional “denarrativization” and “renarrativization” approaches in that it affords the researcher a language (or discursive structure) according to which the narrator's, not the analyst's, understandings of character relations and reality conditions become the subject matter of one's research.

Artikel ini bertujuan menguraikan pokok pemikiran konseptual teori naratologi Gérard Genette. Pokok pemikiran teori naratologi Gérard Genette dituangkan dalam bukunya yang berjudul Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Method. Genette mengusulkan untuk menggunakan tiga istilah yang berbeda. Pertama, kata story ‘cerita’ yang menjadi signified ‘petanda’ atau konten narasi. Istilah story ini sepadan dengan kata histoire (Prancis) dan geschichte (Jerman). Kedua, kata narrative ‘naratif atau penceritaan’ sebagai signifier atau penanda, pernyataan, wacana atau sebagai teks naratif itu sendiri. Istilah narrative sejajar dengan kata récit (Prancis) dan discourse (Inggris). Ketiga, istilah narrating ‘menceritakan‘sebagai aksi atau tindakan memproduksi naratif, atau dalam pengertian yang lebih luas, sebagai keseluruhan situasi nyata atau fiksi di mana aksi terjadi. Genette mengemukakan tiga kategori struktur naratif sebagai dasar pemikirannya, yaitu tense, mood, dan voice. Dalam pembahasan bukunya, selanjutnya Genette membagi unsur tense menjadi tiga bagian, yaitu order, duration, dan frequency. Dengan demikian, pokok bahasan struktur naratif/penceritaan Gérard Genette terdiri atas lima kategori utama, yaitu (1) urutan naratif (order), (2) durasi naratif (duration), (3) frekuensi naratif (frequency), (4) modus naratif (mood), dan (5) suara naratif (voice).Kata kunci: naratologi, Gérard Genette, urutan, durasi, frekuensi, modus, suara naratif                         Gérard Genette Narratology Theory (Conceptual Review)                                                                                      Abstract This article aims to describe the main conceptual thinking of the narratology theory of Gerard Genette. The main idea of the Gérard Genette narratology theory is outlined in his book entitled Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Method. Genette proposed to use three different terms. First, said the 'story' which became signified or narrative content. The term story is commensurate with the words histoire (French) and geschichte (Germany). Second, the narrative word as a signifier, statement, discourse or narrative text itself. The term narrative is parallel to the word récit (French) and discourse (English). Third, the term narrating as an action or action to produce a narrative, or in a broader sense, as a whole real situation or fiction where the action takes place. Genette presents three categories of narrative structure as the basis for thinking, namely tense, mood, and voice. In the discussion of his book, Genette then divides tense elements into three parts, namely order, duration, and frequency. Thus, the subject matter of the Gérard Genette narrative structure consists of five main categories, namely (1) order, (2) duration, (3) frequency, (4) mood, and (5) voice. Keywords: narratology, Gérard Genette, order, duration, frequency, mood, voice

The purpose of this work is an attempt to argue that South Africa as a society cannot be lost in transformation, but that the process of transformation can be misguided or ineffective is, in my opinion, irrefutable. Because of our particular history, equality jurisprudence will be used as the subject matter to indicate whether our society can be lost in transformation. In the first instance, I discuss the condictiones sine quo non of post-apartheid South African equality jurisprudence in the second part. Thereafter, in the third part, the aspirational end — the achievement of equality — serves to identify, through our constitutional values and section 9 of the Constitution, three power relations which require addressing for our society to transform. With reference to Legal feminism, Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory, patriarchy, white supremacy and heteronormativity are identified as power relations that are the, current, object of transformation in our society.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bn Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bn Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.
