Against common pessimistic readings of exile in postcolonial fiction, this article employs the notion of “self-actualization” that argues for people’s desire to accomplish everything they are capable of and their need to realize their potential. Within a comparative context and using identity theory and diaspora studies, the article illustrates how self-actualization keeps the immigrants from experiencing exile in two Arab American short stories by Pauline Kaldas: “Airport” (2009a) and “He Had Dreamed of Returning” (2009b). This article shows how the main characters of “Airport” and “He Had Dreamed of Returning,” Samir and Hani respectively, fulfill the American Dream and how Hoda, Samir’s wife, pictures America as the place where she can realize her ambitions. However, Nancy, Hani’s wife, achieves her potential in Egypt rather than America, where she feels needed as a teacher. Thus, Samir and Hani do not get dislocated in America, and Nancy has a sense of belonging in Egypt. Hence, the article utilizes the American Dream and a reverse side of it, and it shows how Samir’s, Hani’s, and Nancy’s self-actualization is a counter to feelings of exile. In other words, the three characters do not experience loss of identity and displacement in the countries they emigrate to. Rather, they fulfill their dreams there and find/create new identities which have been suppressed in their hometowns, which enhances a view of identity as fluid rather than fixed. Briefly put, this article presents the self-actualization of immigrants in new locales as a counter to different levels of dislocation and exile.Keywords: Pauline Kaldas, “He Had Dreamed of Returning,” “Airport,” Arab Americans, exile, self-actualization, identity, immigrant literature

The chapter places theological anthropologies that focus on the connectedness of the self in dialogue with key findings and claims advanced by attachment theorists. One of the most amply researched and pragmatically employed frameworks in contemporary neuropsychology, attachment theory contends that human subjectivity is the product of human attachments. Attachment figures provide an environment of perceived safety within which and out of which the self can pursue other activities in freedom; should attachment needs remain unmet, human actions would be inhibited. Self-actualization depends upon secure attachments that home the self. In fact, the term “home” is a key technical concept for attachment theory: secure attachments constitute a secure home for the self.

Lygia Fagundes Telles

António Feliciano de Castilho (1800-1875), reconhecido como poeta, também teve importante atuação no meio jornalístico. Como redator da Revista Universal Lisbonense entre janeiro de 1842 e junho de 1845, ele transformou o projeto editorial familiar num periódico de sucesso, vendido e assinado em todo Portugal e também no Brasil. Além de divulgação de “conhecimentos úteis” e de novas composições literárias, sua revista possuía uma seção de notícias. Nesse espaço, Castilho transformava os relatos dos casos que recebia em crônicas que deixam transparecer seu olhar sobre a sociedade que se transformava em meados do século XIX. Aqui apresentamos alguns dos principais temas e o estilo de construção de suas crônicas.********************************************************************Hora de tirar o espartilho – Women’s issues in the short storiesof Lygia Fagundes TellesAbstract: This paper considers how womens’ issues are presented in Lygia Fagundes Telles’ short stories, evaluating narrative procedures and thematic choices, such as wickedness, dependence, conservatism, emancipation, loneliness, vanity or decrepitude. This study analyses the originality and modernity of Telles’ prose, noting the cautious distance of her vision of the feminine condition from any contemporary trends or labeling. Finally, the paper also aims to study the portrayal of women by Lygia Fagundes Telles. This simplies careful examination of how women occupy the role of the self, or subject, and to what degree Telles’  omens’ characters are individualized figures, facing different conflicts, in a variety of social, familial and affective situations.Keywords: short stories; Lygia Fagundes Telles; feminine condition.
