Nowadays, one can easily observe the narrative drive that enlivens various discourses, from the medical one to the one used in the academe or in official governmental documents. Brian McHale has even referred to the „narrative turn” in literary theory which, according to him, seems to answer to the loss of the metaphysical (McHale 4). Keywords: narrative turn, feminism, narrative dynamics, 8 Ileana BOTESCU – SIRETEANU – “Transilvania” University from Brasov, Romania, Email Address: [email protected]. -

Islamophobia.Pdf
From Radical-Right Islamophobia to ‘Cumulative Extremism’ Matthew Feldman1 An important development in radical right activism this century – albeit sharing many similarities with demonised communities in the past – is, without doubt, the turn toward anti-Muslim politics. In the aftermath of mass-casualty terrorist attacks by Islamist militants attacks in the US on 11 September 2001; Madrid on 11 March 2004; and the UK on 7 July 2005, the emergence of a potent anti-Muslim politics has offered a crucial hook for a new generation of radical right politicians to hang an extremist agenda – one palpable in some sections of the mainstream media and wider public. In focussing upon the British case, a good example to start with is from the British National Party’s (hereafter BNP) current chairman Nick Griffin. In a lecture directed to the ‘backstage’ of the movement in 2005, he urged activists to turn away from an unhelpful anti- Semitism and embrace anti-Muslim politics in an attempt at populist, electoral- friendly campaigning: […] in real politics in the real world, one’s proper choice of enemy is a group who you gain a worthwhile level of extra support by identifying, who you have a realistic chance of beating, and whose defeat will take you the furthest towards your goal. With millions of our people desperately and very reasonably worried by the spread of Islam and its adherents, and with the mass media ... playing ‘Islamophobic’ messages like a scratched CD, the proper choice of enemy needn’t be left to rocket scientists.2 Griffin was trying to distance the BNP from much of its earlier rhetoric, echoing the anti-Semitism between the wars, so closely identified with ‘classical’ fascist movements like Nazism or the Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists. -

1 F17.40 / October 28, 2004 / Stephen Van Evera the WAR on TERROR
1 F17.40 / October 28, 2004 / Stephen Van Evera THE WAR ON TERROR, 2001-PRESENT I. ORIGINS OF AL QAEDA AND THE TERROR WAR A. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in December 1979, partly to prevent it from sliding into the U.S. camp in the Cold War, partly to forestall the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. The Afghans resisted (with U.S. help, see 'B'); the Soviets responded brutally, killing one million Afghans and creating five million Afghan refugees, 1979-1989. B. The U.S. sent large covert aid to the Afghan anti-Soviet resistance, 1980-1989. At Pakistani urging U.S. aid flowed mainly to the most extreme Islamists among the seven mujahideen groups resisting the Soviets, especially to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's vicious Hisb-e-Islami group. Osama Bin Laden formed Al Qaeda in Pakistan in the mid-1980s from Arabs who volunteered to aid the Afghans. Al Qaeda combined Egyptian followers of Egyptian Islamist ideas (Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb) with Saudi followers of Wahhabism, a hateful and xenophobic Saudi Islamic sect. Bin Laden's first target: the Soviet Union. His second target: the United States. His prime objective: to achieve the overthrow of secular and/or corrupt Arab regimes in Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. He believed that the U.S. propped up these regimes; ending U.S. support for them would ease their downfall. C. The Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan in February 1989 but the U.S. continued to support violent resistance to the Najibulla communist regime it left behind. Najibullah fell in 1992. -
Global and Jihad and the Battle for the Soul of Islam
Volume 16, Number 2 125 Global and Jihad and the Battle for the Soul of Islam Mervyn F. Bendle James Cook University The violence of the present global crisis tends to obscure another battle that is presently underway within Islam, one "for the soul of the world's Muslims" (Schwartz, 2002: I 63). While the primary focus of much current research concerns the threat of the Islamist call to 'Global Jihad', these movements are also seeking to impose a purified Islam universally across the Muslim world They are targeting popular forms of Islam, Sufi mysticism, and the many diverse forms of traditional Islam that have existed for centuries across the globe. Given the significance of these religious phenomena, and especially Sufism, this is a battle with major implications for the future of Islam and the religious history of the world This paper describes and assesses this situation and identifies some implications for the contemporary study ofIslam. Introduction The warfare, terrorism and violence that characterizes the present global crisis tends to obscure another battle that is presently underway within Islam, one that may have a far greater long-term impact. At the same time that Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and other Islamist terrorist leaders were issuing their 'fatwa' calling for a "Global Jihad against Jews and Crusaders" (Rubin and Rubin, 2002: 149ff.), another battle was underway. This battle has been described as "a historic combat for the soul of the world's Muslims" (Schwartz, 2002:163; cf. Pipes, 2002: 27). Discussion of its various aspects can now be found in many recent studies of contemporary Islam, especially where the focus is on Islamism and related movements such as Wahhabism (e.g., Abuza, 2002; Ali, 2002; Benjamin and Simon, 2002; Bergin, 2001; Esposito, 2002; Gunaratna, 2002; Hiro, 2002; Kepel, 2002; Lewis, 2003; Murphy, 2002; Paz, 2002; Pipes, 2002; Rashid, 2001, 2002; Rubin and Rubin, 2002; Ruthven, 2002; Schwartz, 2002; Zeidan, 2001). -

Speech, Silence and Female Adolescence in Carson McCullers’ The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and Angela Carter’s The Magic Toyshop. By Catherine Martin1 Abstract This paper examines the relationship between adolescent female characters and silence in Carson McCullers’ The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1940) and Angela Carter’s The Magic Toyshop (1967). The established body of criticism focussing on McCullers’ and Carter’s depictions of the female grotesque provides the theoretical framework for this paper, as I explore the implications of these ideas when applied to language and speech.
