Their encounter with present (2018) new immigrants raises the following research question: How are patterns of integration into society reflected in the conceptions of veteran immigrant teachers in their work with immigrant students? The theoretical literature on which this study is based includes Berry’s transnationalism model and the concept of hybrid identity. The results displayed affinity between the teachers’ own migration stories and their educational conceptions regarding immigrant students. Patterns included both assimilation and integration. The conclusions declare that it is indeed appropriate to process the experiences and stories of veteran immigrant teachers because they transmit their conceptions to immigrant students and can serve as bridge builders within the educational system as former immigrants themselves. Keywords: Transnationalism, hybrid identity, immigrant teachers, narrative paradigm, melting pot, multiculturalism Received:May 29, 2019; accepted: September 3, 2019 Future Human Image, Volume 12, 2019: 5-21. https://doi.org/10.29202/fhi/12/1 Introduction In an era of globalization and migration, more and more people are moving from place to place around the world. Theories of migration present the various stages involved and describe the integration of immigrants into the host society [Berry, 1992]. Today, global migration is not only a physical change of residence, but also a measure affected by political, economic, cultural and family factors. Transnational theory expresses the various characteristics and components of identity that people take from place to place and how they cope with it. It effectively enables people to preserve their previous culture © Binhas, Adi, 2019 Acknowledgments: Thanks and appreciation to Dr. Gabriela Spector-Marzel for the professional support in the process of preparation the article. Thank you for your creative ideas that help me to improve the article. Future Human Image, Volume 12, 2019 5 Long Term Immigrants as Teachers of New Immigrant Students by Adi Binhas while adopting a new one, to be both, as it were, by maintaining a hybrid culture. Literature on migration in the modern era refers to this phenomenon as well [Glick et al., 2004]. The educational system and teachers are major players in the process of integration into a new society. Teachers who are themselves former immigrants can exert a more significant influence as role models for immigrant students, especially because they understand the process of migration and all its implications from personal experience. Research on migration aspires towards having the teachers’ room reflect the changing makeup of the population of teachers and students. Nevertheless, it lacks attention to the encounter between the former immigrant teacher and the immigrant student and the effects of this encounter on education itself, on the conceptions and actions of the teachers that originate in the experience and insights they accumulated over the years. This study analyzes teachers of immigrant students who are themselves veteran immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU), applying narrative analysis to identify the significance they ascribe to their own stories of immigration. It seeks to acquire information about the actual conceptions and actions of veteran immigrant teachers (VITs) when working with their immigrant students. The article was written according to the findings of interviews with VITs who came to Israel over 20 years ago − a feature that was brought up during interviews (none of the participating teachers were hired specifically as “immigrant teachers” by their respective schools). Work with immigrant students apparently reawakened their own immigrant experiences, leading them to think and act according to the significance they

Their patience, expertise and generosity helped me accomplish things I didn’t think I was capable of. Their guidance was invaluable not only in the writing of this thesis but also in learning to think, read and write in new and exciting ways. I could not imagine two better advisers or mentors for this project. Besides my supervisors, I’d like to thank the many people who provided their feedback on various drafts of the novel and the dissertation. Tanya Thaweeskulchai influenced my work in ways that extend far beyond the parameters of this dissertation, and her friendship is one of the most precious things I take away from this doctoral experience. Prue Gibson and Jayne Chapman offered much-needed comments on the novel and the dissertation respectively. I would also like to thank Anne Brewster for the rigorous feedback she gave on the third chapter on indigenous science fiction, along with Emily Maguire and Margo Lanagan for their formative feedback on early drafts of the novel. Thank you also to Roanna Gonsalves, Jessica Ford, Melanie Robson, Sameera Karam, Shaun Bell and Phoebe Macrossan for all the writing workshops.

  • Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization
    Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization Bogdan Trocha1 Doctor of Science (Philology), Professor, University of Zielona Góra (Zielona Góra, Poland) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2348-4813 The main thesis of the article is the comparison of speculative fiction with the challenges facing modern man. Introductory questions are two issues. How can fantasy become the subject of cultural reflection on the future of human civilization? Can contemporary speculative fistion act as an instructional story about the unknown? The author indicates several basic models of using speculative fiction. However, it limits itself to creating an introductory canon, which is associated with literary speculations regarding the impact of man and technology on the future of civilization. Keywords: myth, speculative fiction, political fiction, space opera, postapocalyptic fiction, ecological science fiction Received: September 11, 2019; accepted: October 5, 2019 Future Human Image, Volume 12, 2019: 104-114. https://doi.org/10.29202/fhi/12/9 In the face of the unknown — in search of model stories: myth, fantasy, speculative fiction The notion of speculative fiction has been firmly established in popular culture for many years. However, while it is very easy to point to the essential features of the poetics of this type of novel, it is much more difficult to point to the cultural paradigm from which both speculative fiction and the need to use this type of poetics stems. The foundations of this type of cognitive and creative procedures should be found in two aspects of the human condition. The first one is certainly the aspiration to discover the sense of everything that man experiences in various ways in the world around him.

  • Inscriptions of the Body and Embodiment in the Novels of Lauren Beukes
    University of KwaZulu-Natal Bodylands: Inscriptions of the Body and Embodiment in the Novels of Lauren Beukes. Key terms: South African literature, inscriptions of the body and space, gender, abjection, the disciplined body, the grotesque and classical body. By Natasha King 209512897 A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Studies at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Howard College Campus, Durban Supervised by Professor Ileana Dimitriu Co-supervised by Professor Corinne Sandwith (UP) 2015 1 Declaration The Registrar (Academic) UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL I hereby declare that this dissertation is the result of my own investigation and research and that it has not been submitted in part or in full for any other degree or to any other university. All citations references and borrowed ideas have been duly acknowledged. ………………… Natasha King November 2015 2 Abstract This dissertation takes up the question of the body and embodiment(s) in contemporary South African fiction, paying particular attention to the novels of award- wining author, Lauren Beukes. In the first three fictional works published to date, namely Moxyland (2008), Zoo City (2010) and The Shining Girls (2013), the body emerges as a persistent focus of narrative interest and attention. My aim in this dissertation is to explore how these fictional bodies are imagined and constructed; to ask what kinds of bodies predominate in Beukes’s texts and to consider their thematic, narrative, aesthetic and political significance. Taking my cue from contemporary cultural theory (the work of Foucault, Bakhtin and Scarry), and various studies in feminist theory (such as Gatens, Grosz and Butler), I hope to bring renewed attention to the body and its inscriptions within discourse by offering a reading of the body in Beukes’s first three fictional works: Moxyland (2008), Zoo City (2010) and The Shining Girls (2013).

(Signature) T.L.

The characteristics and signifiers of a uniquely South African dystopian society are established and investigated through a posthuman lens. The theoretical framework of this study is principally concerned with the critical posthuman writings of Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway and, to a lesser extent, Cary Wolfe. Feminism and post-colonialism, and their influences on posthuman theory, are applied as the secondary theoretical framework, in this study.
