Abstract Shawna Vesco "THE (DIS)UNITY OF THE WESTERN MODERN PROJECT" In this dissertation I explore the crumbling foundations of the Modern Project in order to assert that not only has “modernity” itself collapsed, but that many of its attendant institutions have as well: the State, the Individual, the Nation, and even Literature. Literature has always been bound up and complicit in these now defunct formations through an alliance forged around the concept of “unity.” The Modern Project and Literature in its wake each posit unity as a constitutive principal of the Individual, the Work of Art, sociality and order in general. The thought of unity dangerously implies that disunited things must be violently subsumed into unification, and I endeavor to trace the fault lines of modernity in order to reckon with the remainders, the “what” or “who,” that have been discarded and erased in the exchange of disunity for unity. I pit against Literature (understood as a homogenizing or institutional force) what Maurice Blanchot terms “écriture” (writing). Écriture is a mode of witnessing that, rather than making the unseen visible, intimates an irrecoverable silencing and erasure. I then assemble a counter-tradition to the Modern Project through a reading of texts by Maurice Blanchot, Assia Djebar, Tom McCarthy, Franz Rosenzweig, William Gibson and Bilge Karasu. ! !!"#! ! Acknowledgements I would like to thank my committee: Tyrus Miller, whose thoughtful feedback and timely interventions helped shape this project and the next; Chris Connery, who encouraged me to pursue an experience of time beyond the reach of capital's long arm by not uttering the word "busy"; Kitty Millet, who has tirelessly and enthusiastically shepherded me through all of my degrees; and above all Wlad Godzich, who taught me how to read. I am extremely grateful for the Qualifying Exam and Dissertation Fellowships, Teaching Fellowships, and Travel Grants offered to me by the Literature Department. I also would like to express my gratitude to Heather Shearer for inviting me to be a Teaching Fellow in the Writing Program. Many thanks to Carla Freccero for her attention and advice, to Peter Kenez for upbeat early morning conversations about death, and to Murray Baumgarten, a dreamer. I would also like to thank my colleagues for their support even if it usually came in the form of funny cat pictures or Bildwirkerey von Bayeux (I'm looking at you, Fritzie de Mata and Christine Turk!). Jackie Sloderbeck and Andrew Sivak have been endless sources of amusement and encouragement. Jimi Wallen, too. Thank you also to my family and friends: Aimée Crook, who *throws book and who helps me remember The Dark Room days of San Francisco; Marilet Martinez, for tikka masala; Liz Carr, for walks; Andrew Carr, for beard; @thejonahkit, for courage; Anne Wheeler, for bright ideas; Simon Critchley, for tobacco-analog; Pumpkin, for keeping it real when I refuse to; David Hernandez, for everything; and Peanut and Miko, for being fluffy. !"##! !

Introduction Our Modern Disorientation "'False' unity, the simulacrum of unity, compromises unity better than any direct challenge, which, in any case, is impossible." -Maurice Blanchot, The Writing of the Disaster "I think therefore I am not." -Maurice Blanchot, Thomas the Obscure "Gestell. Disaster. 'Disaster' does not mean catastrophe but disorientation--stars guide." -Bernard Stiegler, Technics and Time, 1: The Fault of Epimetheus "Don't get me wrong: the Project was important. It will have had direct effects on you; in fact, there's probably not a single area of your daily life that it hasn't, in some way or other, touched on, penetrated, changed; although you probably don't know this. Not that it was secret. Things like that don't need to be. They creep under the radar by being boring. And complex." -Tom McCarthy, Satin Island "Into Life." -Franz Rosenzweig, The Star of Redemption I. Break with the Star: Literature, Community, Technology "The disaster: break with the star, break with every form of totality," writes Maurice Blanchot in his 1980 text The Writing of the Disaster (hereafter referred to as Disaster). Blanchot's disaster, because it breaks with "the star," provokes a loss of 1 ! guidance (fixed stars are used for navigation after all) and therefore it marks the experience of modernity as one of disorientation. But what is "the star" and why is Blanchot so invested in this disaster that brings about our modern disorientation? Of course there is the natural starry firmament above us which helps determine our position on the globe, but there's also another

  • The Historical Roots of Amazigh and Its Arabization Factors in Algeria
    THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF AMAZIGH AND ITS ARABIZATION FACTORS IN ALGERIA Ahfir Abdellah Resumen La cuestión amazigh se está actualmente erigiendo en el norte de África como proble- mática espinosa y altamente ideologizada vinculada a sensibles conflictos de identidad. Consecuentemente, en este trabajo planteamos un acercamiento histórico y científico integral que permita el reconocimiento cultural que la región merece. Palabras claves: Amazigh, arabización, lenguas en extinción, transformación étnica, UNESCO. Abstract The question of the North African Amazighs is slowly emerging as a highly difficult and ideological issue because it is related to the sensitive problem of identity. All historical and scientific aspects need to be studied so that the region gains the recognition it deserves. Keywords: Amazigh, Arabization, Algeria, languages in danger, ethnical alteration, UN- ESCO. Introduction Ancient Egyptian writings revealed the true history of the Amazighs, which dates back to about three thousand years BC. In ancient European languages, the Amazigh people were referred to with different names including the Moors (Mauri). The Greeks called them the Mazyes, while the Greek historian Herodotus used the Amazigh word Maxis. The an- cient Egyptians called their Amazigh neighbours “the muddled”. The Ro- mans called them Numidians, or Libo. The Arabs often called them the Berbers. Berber in Arabic comes from the Graeco-Latin word Barbar, a Latin word used to describe all people who did not speak Latin or Greek believing Greek and Roman civilization superior to all others. The Berber or barbarian denomination was used by the Romans not only against the Amazighs but also against Germanic and English rebellious tribes.

  • A Correlation Analysis of Low-Level Conflict in North African Berber Groups, 1990-2011
    A CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF LOW-LEVEL CONFLICT IN NORTH AFRICAN BERBER GROUPS, 1990-2011 A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Suzanne Hollands, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 10, 2014 Copyright 2014 by Suzanne Hollands-Sibley All Rights Reserved. ii A CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF LOW-LEVEL CONFLICT IN NORTH AFRICAN BERBER GROUPS, 1990-2011 Suzanne Hollands-Sibley, B.A. MALS Mentors: John O. Voll, Ph.D., Andy Vogt, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Berber regions of North Africa have long resisted incursion from the outside world. Regional conquests from the Punics, Greeks and Romans were repeatedly met with persistent and at times violent resistance, particularly under Greek and Roman rule. With the Arab conquest in the seventh century AD, the depth of penetration into Berber culture was fundamentally altered, particularly in the area of religion and language. Though still committed to Islam as a religion, recent Berber movements have shown a marked resistance to Arab cultural identity, seeking instead to re-establish a purely Berber cultural ethos through the revival of their indigenous Amazigh language and customs. Because their former identity precedes the advent of Islam, the Berber have recently sought to reconcile their ancient cultural heritage, particularly their language, with a religion they adopted in the seventh century but whose very language they conceive of as that of a former oppressor. Rather than rejecting Islam, they choose instead to reinvent it, replacing the sacred Arabic language of the QUrán with their lingua franca – Tamazight – in their practice of Islam, thereby uniting both culture and religion and reinforcing a cultural identity.

  • 2-2-4 Population and Households (1) Population in the Wilaya of Algiers
    Chapter 2 : Data Collection and GIS Database Development 2-2-4 Population and Households (1) Population in the Wilaya of Algiers The population of Algiers decreased significantly when nearly 400,000 French citizens left at the time of independence (1962). This led to a major exodus of people from rural areas to the rich coastal plains and cities in the north as shown in Figure 2-231 . Following independence, the Algerian population grew at a rate of 3.48% per year, which can justifiably be referred to as a “population explosion”. Population growth rates started to fall back to previous levels in 1997. The results of the censuses (RGPH2) undertaken in 1987 and 1998 confirmed this tendency, with annual growth rates declining from 3.1% to 2.15%, respectively. Source: RGPH Figure 2-23 Population of the Wilaya of Algiers over the Past 50 Years The total population of the Wilaya of Algiers was 2,562,424 when the General Population and Housing Census was undertaken in 1998. By 31 December 2002, the population was estimated to have increased to 2,700,449 3 with a density of 3,337 people per square kilometer. During the period between the previous two censuses (1987-1998) the population increased at an average annual rate of 1.6%, which is lower than the national rate of 2.5%. The high population density mentioned above is seen particularly in the center of Algiers, and this has resulted in overloading of various sectors such as education, transportation, housing, potable water supply, etc. The estimated figures for the population of communes in the Wilaya of Algiers, as of the end of 2002, are shown in Table 2-3.

In addition to the phonological level -interdentals/dentals, namely- on which several contemporary studies have previously focused, this work attempts an analysis of other linguistic level features: morpho-syntactic and semantic features.
