  • The Language of Astonishment: a French-Australian Author's
    THE LANGUAGE OF ASTONISHMENT: A FRENCH-AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR’S REFLECTIONS ON HER IDENTITY SOPHIE MASSON Towards the end of Russian-French writer Andreï Makine’s hauntingly beautiful novel of childhood, memory and divided loyalties, Le Testament français (1995), the narrator Alyosha, who all his young life has been shuttling between the visceral reality of his Russian Siberian childhood and his French grandmother’s poetic evocations of her past and her old country, has a sudden slip of the tongue which for a moment puts him in a disorienting position: that of being literally between two languages, between French and Russian, and understood in neither. But it is that very moment which transforms his life and his understanding of himself and his literary ambitions. The gap between the two languages, which as a dreamy child he simply accepted and as a rebellious teenager he reacted against, is not what he once thought it was—a frustrating barrier to understanding or a comforting bulwark against reality, depending on his mood at the time. No, it is something far stranger and much more exhilarating: a prism through which everything can be seen and felt even more clearly, sensually and intensely and not only because with two languages at your disposal you have even more opportunity to ‘nail’ the world, as it were. It is also because this between-two-languages phenomenon, common to all bilingual people, is actually a striking metaphor for the gap that exists between language per se and language lived—the sensual reality for all human beings. And it is in that gap that literature itself is born: literature which, in Makine’s beautiful words, is un étonnement permanent devant cette coulée verbale dans laquelle fondait le monde (Makine, 244).1 And it is that very ‘in-between’, that universal ‘language of astonishment’, which will turn Alyosha into a writer and by extension Makine himself, who included many autobiographical elements in the novel.

The campaigning officially kicked off midnight on March 25, with two candidates in the race to become the new SA president, David Lyman and Daniel Kreutzer. "As president, you're not speak- ing as one person," says Lyman, who is currently the vice-presi- dent of finance and administra- tion, "you're speaking on behalf of 5,500 people." Lyman is running against Kreutzer, a second-year Business Administration student. "May the best man win," Kreutzer says, the atmosphere rife with the formality and prudence of politick as both men consider every word spoken in front of a Projector reporter. Three hopefuls are vying for the position of Vice-President of Student Affairs: Shubert Beaubrun, Ethan Stock and Jonathan Menec. The final posi- tion of Vice-President of Financial and Support Services has only one nominee, Lars Vik. Daniel Kreutzer (left) and David Lyman are vying for your vote in the Students' Association presidential race. Candidates were given a list of important RRC issues, including being subject to penalty points, or about the vandalism.

  • Dog As Deity, Ancestor and Royal Animal
    Dog as Deity, Ancestor and Royal Animal http://asiapacificuniverse.com/pkm/dogstory.htm by Paul Kekai Manansala Share article: Facebook MySpace Send by Email The Dog Story: "When old dogs bark, it's time to watch out." Although maligned in some cultures as "unclean," a thorough historical review will reveal that few if any animals have been as revered as the dog. This is even more true when one considers the dog along with its wild ancestor the wolf. Since many biologists now classify the two as the same species -- Canis lupus -- it is valid to examine the history of the two together. Indeed, from the genetic standpoint the dog does not even qualify as a subspecies of the wolf. A subspecies would normally require a 20-25 percent genetic divergence. The divergence between human "races" is about 6 percent and within "races" about 8 percent. However, dogs and wolves diverge genetically by only 1 percent. And as with human races, the divergence within each group is greater than that between the two groups. "By the Dog of Egypt" When looking at the dog in historical records, few are older than those of the ancient Egyptians. According to the testimony of the ancient Greeks, the Egyptians loved dogs and treated them with great respect. Dogs received burial in family tombs and family members would shave their heads in mourning at the death of a family dog. Even in the predynastic period, we see that the Egyptians were already burying dogs in the same way they buried humans with plenty of goods for the afterlife.
