Trefor Stockwell Submission for the degree of PhD 2012 Bangor University 5 Abstract This study seeks to show the process of development by which my writing of this series of short stories has responded to my relationship to a welcoming, albeit alien, culture; namely: a small mountain village in south west Bulgaria. It also explores my responses to living and working within that culture, and the ways in which my studies of the folk culture, history and the impact of western culture on existing cultural beliefs and values have also affected both my writing and my own rather ambiguous cultural background (see introduction p. 1). The core of the thesis is a collection of eighteen short stories, written to be performed, and consequently written in storyteller’s style. All of the stories, excluding the first and the eighteenth, were written during my two year stay in Bulgaria, and linked using the conceit of the fictional storyteller, Ivan Levsky, and all were written in response either to historical events, cultural events or local incidents or characters. It also seeks to illustrate the way in which my work became increasingly reliant on the freedom that Magical Realism allows. It was this freedom that led me to write this collection in the style in which it is written, and led me to the final conclusion that I had no other option of saying what I wished to say in the way in which it was said; hence the rather ambiguous title: Magical Realism; Master or Servant? The literary background is explored through critical reflections in the final chapters. Where appropriate I have explained the genesis of each work and, where appropriate, the influences of the work of other writers upon my writing; in particular the works of Salman Rushdie and Angela Carter. I have also included short critical explorations of the major works of both of these writers. As the stories contain Bulgarian and Turkish words which may not be familiar to some readers I have also included a glossary. For the same reason I have included a brief historical time line relevant to each story. 6 Contents Introduction 1 Part 1: The Tales of Ivan Levsky Farewell to Ivan Levsky 3 The Martenitsa 8 Khristo’s Truck 14 The Next Emperor of Bulgaria 22 The Small Miracle at Dolno Draglishte 29 The Cats of Thassos 39 Brussels, Jambo the Gypsy and Vera the Horse 47 Samodiva 54 Shipka 64 Progress 72 The Man with One Head Too Many 79 Letters Home 88 Fate and the Life and Death of Chudomir Daev 95 Khan Isperih’s Gift 97 Reflection 108 Stefan Popovitch and the Great ‘What If?’ 118 The Experiment 129 The Downfall and Subsequent Salvation of Todor Yenkov 139 Part 2: Magical Realism: Master or Servant? 155 Part 3: Critical Reflections: Angela Carter and Salman Rushdie 176 7 Part 4: Commentaries: Genesis, Inspiration and Influences Critique: Farewell Ivan Levsky 189 Critique: The Martenitsa 190 Critique: Khristo’s Truck 192 Critique: The Next Emperor of Bulgaria 195 Critique: The Small Miracle at Dolno Draglishte 198 Critique: The Cats of Thassos 200 Critique: Brussels, Jambo the Gypsy and Vera the Horse 202 Critique: Samodiva 204 Critique: Shipka 206 Critique: Progress 208 Critique: The Man with One Head Too Many 211 Critique: Letters Home 213 Critique: Fate and the Life and Death of Chudomir Daev 215 Critique: Khan Isperih’s Gift 216 Critique: Reflection 218 Critique: Stefan Popovitch and the Great ‘What If?’ 220 Critique: The Experiment 222 Critique: The Downfall and Subsequent Salvation of Todor Yenkov 225 Appendices Glossary of Bulgarian, Turkish and Roma words and phrases 227 Bulgarian Historical Time-Line With Reference to the Collection 230 Bibliography 232 1 Introduction I was born in England to Welsh parents, both of whom, though in particular my father, raised myself and my siblings to think of ourselves as Welsh, and to take particular pride in our own unique culture. As a consequence of this I grew up in England, through school and into maturity in the belief that I was living in an alien culture, surrounded by people who were unaware of my ethnic roots. Four years living in North Africa, in my mid-twenties, did little to make me doubt my Welsh heritage. However, on moving to Wales I found that people’s perception of me was that I was English; I spoke with an English accent: ergo I was English. This led me to thinking about the importance of cultural background, and then onto thinking what would happen to artistic output if the artist were removed completely from his or her social, cultural and ethnic milieu to a completely alien environment. I decided to try this as an exercise, and in 2005 moved to the south west corner of Bulgaria. I realised that moving to one of the major cities or towns would not be taxing enough: life in the larger conurbations was more sophisticated with many of the residents having at least a basic understanding of the rudiments of the English language. I did not want this, what I wanted was to immerse myself completely in the culture in an area that had, as yet, avoided the worst excesses of Western European culture. I chose a small village named Dolno Draglishte. This village of less than a thousand souls was situated in the foothills between the Pirin and Rhodope mountain ranges. The residents were mostly middle aged or elderly, the majority of the young having left in order to find work in the larger cities or in foreign climes. I had no means of conversing with the populace. I did not speak Bulgarian and they did not speak English, I had nothing apart from sign language and a phrase book. It was perfect, and at first slightly disconcerting. Chapter one of this thesis contains the sixteen short stories written during my twenty month stay in the village, and related by the fictional oral storyteller, Ivan Levsky; plus a further two, the first and the eighteenth, written after my return to Britain. These final two will be discussed more fully in chapter four. As will my reasons for including them both in the collection. 2 The sixteen stories composed in Bulgaria are an eclectic mix inspired by my experiences in the village, and by my study and growing interest in Bulgarian history, culture and folk traditions, including the strong oral convention still prevalent in remote villages. They also reflect a change in my attitude toward faith and belief: as a convinced atheist I found myself facing what can only be described as a crisis of lack of faith, and was drawn to the possibility of my believing, like Hamlet, that ‘there are more things in heaven and earth -- than are dreamt of in our philosophy.’1 Several of the stories therefore reflect that concern. Chapter Two explores my understanding of the term Magic Realism, its influence on my own writing and posits the question: do writers choose to write in that particular style, or does, because of circumstance, be they political, cultural or gender based, mean that the style chooses them? Chapter three discusses the influence of two writers, Salman Rushdie and Angela Carter, on the writing of this collection. It also takes a critical overview of their major works. Chapter four contains critical reflections on the nineteen works, and discusses their inspirational genesis; it also suggests possible influences. The remaining sections contain a bibliography of all works cited or consulted; a glossary of all Bulgarian, Turkish or Roma words or phrases used within the text, a short historical time line relevant to each of the short stories and disc copies of the interviews conducted with Michael Petrov, history graduate, and the folklorists Yane Kamenarov and Elena Georgiava Kamenarova. 1. William Shakespeare, Hamlet,ed. by T. J. B. Spencer (London: Penguin,1980), p.96. L. 166-167 3 PART ONE The Tales of Ivan Levsky 4 Farewell Ivan Levsky (An Introduction) I first met Ivan Levsky one evening in February 2007. A Bulgarian friend, knowing of my interest in the oral tradition still prevalent in the Balkans, suggested I accompany him through the snow to an evening of storytelling. ‘This man,’ my friend told me ‘is very special; in my opinion the finest storyteller in the whole of the region.’ I was intrigued as my friend, unlike the average Bulgarian, did not suffer from hyperbole, and so that evening I agreed to join him in the local Mehana where the event was to be hosted. I had been to several of these events during my sojourn in the country, and this one started off in much the same vein as the others; if you have ever attended an open mike poetry evening in Britain you’ll pretty much get the picture: some good, some not so good and some downright bloody dire.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • El Llegat Dels Germans Grimm En El Segle Xxi: Del Paper a La Pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira I Virgili [email protected]
    El llegat dels germans Grimm en el segle xxi: del paper a la pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira i Virgili [email protected] Resum Les rondalles que els germans Grimm van recollir als Kinder- und Hausmärchen han traspassat la frontera del paper amb nombroses adaptacions literàries, cinema- togràfiques o televisives. La pel·lícula The brothers Grimm (2005), de Terry Gilli- am, i la primera temporada de la sèrie Grimm (2011-2012), de la cadena NBC, són dos mostres recents d’obres audiovisuals que han agafat les rondalles dels Grimm com a base per elaborar la seva ficció. En aquest article s’analitza el tractament de les rondalles que apareixen en totes dues obres (tenint en compte un precedent de 1962, The wonderful world of the Brothers Grimm), així com el rol que adopten els mateixos germans Grimm, que passen de creadors a convertir-se ells mateixos en personatges de ficció. Es recorre, d’aquesta manera, el camí invers al que han realitzat els responsables d’aquestes adaptacions: de la pantalla (gran o petita) es torna al paper, mostrant quines són les rondalles dels Grimm que s’han adaptat i de quina manera s’ha dut a terme aquesta adaptació. Paraules clau Grimm, Kinder- und Hausmärchen, The brothers Grimm, Terry Gilliam, rondalla Summary The tales that the Grimm brothers collected in their Kinder- und Hausmärchen have gone beyond the confines of paper with numerous literary, cinematographic and TV adaptations. The film The Brothers Grimm (2005), by Terry Gilliam, and the first season of the series Grimm (2011–2012), produced by the NBC network, are two recent examples of audiovisual productions that have taken the Grimm brothers’ tales as a base on which to create their fiction.

The Engesa EE-T1 Osorio was a surprising development for Brazil – a tank that, while not in the class of the latest tanks of the time, one that was far above the league of the typical third-world offerings. In design, it was similar to many tanks of the time; this was not surprising, since Engesa had a lot of help from West German, British and French armor experts. The EE-T1 was very promising – an excellent design that several countries were very interested in. The Saudis in particular went as far as to place a pre- order of 318 for the Osorio. That deal, however, was essentially killed when the Saudis saw the incredible performance of the M-1 Abrams and the British Challenger, and they literally cancelled the Osorio order at the last moment. This resulted in the cancellation of demonstrations to other countries, the demise of Engesa, and with it a promising medium tank.

  • UNRIVALED TURKISH SWORD with a UNIQUE DESIGN: “YATAGHAN” Prof
    International Journal of Cultural Heritage Tarık Baykara http://iaras.org/iaras/journals/ijch UNRIVALED TURKISH SWORD WITH A UNIQUE DESIGN: “YATAGHAN” Prof. Dr. Tarık Baykara Dogus University Faculty of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Department Istanbul-Türkiye [email protected] Abstract: “Yataghan”, a unique and unparalleled sword design with its inverse curved or concave shape blade could be traced through the history back to the kurgan culture of the Central Asian steppes dating to 2000-3000 BCE. Widely used during the Ottoman period in the Anatolian penninsula and in the Balkans, it was a traditional weapon used by janissaries-Ottoman infantry soldiers, levents-Ottoman marines and zeibecks-chivalrous gangs of the Aegean Region. The typical inverse curved shape was found in the Northern Ordos bronze blades of the Hunnic-Turkic heritage and evolution of the form can be traced through the ages into the final destination into the town of Yatagan located in southwest Turkey, greater city of Denizli and the town is still very famous for its blacksmithing. Therefore, the 5000 years old tradition could be followed for yataghans based on archeological excavations in the Northern Ordos Region, the Syberian steppes and the Inner Mongolia. A detailed investigation on the geometrical shapes and forms of both “yataghan” and “kinglu” blades (The Northern Ordos bronze blades) could reveal the evolutionary progress of these swords during the ages. Key Words: Yataghan, swords, yataghan blade, inverse blade, 1. Introduction yataghan sword as “Kulaklı (in Turkish)– Yatagan or Yataghan… “Yataghan” is Eared” (Figure 2). a widely known traditional Turkish sword with a unique and unparalleled design which is one Historically, curved shape swords are typical handed with an edge on concave/incurved blade Turkic invention dated back to years 400-500 and a short hilt without a guard.

  • Bushwhacking Through Narcissism: the Making of a Jungian Analyst
    Bushwhacking Through Narcissism: The Making of a Jungian Analyst by John Ryan Haule Copyright © 1993 All Rights Reserved http://www.jrhaule.net/bushwhack.html One Mara Probably every analyst can cite a small number of analysands whose work has taught him or her what analysis is all about. For regardless of the books we have read and the number of years spent in training, it is only when we face another psyche entirely on our own that the realities of our profession begin to dawn on us. The dialogue between two souls is a dissolving experience. The extent to which we allow ourselves into it corresponds to our ability to tolerate fragmentation and confusion. Jung often referred to this experience as "the soup," where onions, potatoes, carrots, herbs, and meat, mingle their flavors to produce a delectable and nourishing broth. In an analysis of this sort, both psyches are softened and give up some of their essence to the process. It is widely known that this can be a terrifying experience for an analysand with a weak sense of self. But the analyst is supposed to have been analyzed and to have developed thereby a real confidence in the ego-self axis and furthermore to be "contained" by a flexible and coherent familiarity with the models and theory of analysis. Ideally this conception suffices. The analysand meets our expectations, and we can rely on the customary maps of soulscape we have learned from our training and general life experience. If we have to depart from familiar paths, the compass we forged in our own analysis keeps us oriented.

APHRA BEHN IN PENGUIN CLASSICS Oroonoko, The Rover and Other Works Oroonoko The Epistle Dedicatory To the Right Honourable the Lord Maitland. My Lord, Since the world is grown so nice and critical upon dedications, and will needs be judging the book by the wit of the patron, we ought, with a great deal of circumspection, to choose a person against whom there can be no exception; and whose wit and worth truly merits all that one is capable of saying upon that occasion. The most part of dedications are charged with flattery; and if the world knows a man has some vices, they will not allow one to speak of his virtues. This, my Lord, is for want of thinking rightly; if men would consider with reason, they would have another sort of opinion and esteem of dedications, and would believe almost every great man has enough to make him worthy of all that can be said of him there. My Lord, a picture-drawer, when he intends to make a good picture, essays the face many ways and in many lights before he begins; that he may choose, from the several turns of it, which is most agreeable, and gives it the best grace; and if there be a scar, an ungrateful mole, or any little defect, they leave it out, and yet make the picture extremely like.
