Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Yusuf Idris Is a short story writer, novelist and playwright. On the whole, he uses each genre for different purposes. In his short stories he is the subjective writer concerned with a minute analysis of mental states and moods. In his novels he is the socially aware and politically committed writer, while in his plays he tackles social problems on an abstract level* While he has succeeded to a great extent as a short story writer and fM a playwright Yusuf Idris has {bGJed as a novelist. His novels appsear to be a string of short stories held together tenuously by a main theme or else they M * mm are overblown short stories. Yusuf Idris then is to be seen primarily as a short story writer and a playwright. In the short stories the author treats his characters as lonely Indi­ viduals who suffer by being isolated from other human beings, and the solution to their problem lies in a return to the fold of the corporate entity. Here 0m m Yusuf Idris contradicts himself, as If is precisely this corporate entity, supposedly ensuring the happiness of the individual which is the source of his unhappiness. The characters are depicted as living either in the city or the country. For Yusuf Idris if is the latter that promises harmonious human relationships while the former is the source of unhappiness. By idealising the country the author distorts the quality of urban living when contrasting town life and cily life. 3 The characters are constantly faced with defeat, mainly through poverty. Sex occupies a central position in his writing and It is treated in terms of Its Influence on behaviour. Physical and mental suffering are treated in detail and the author's training as a medical man is readily apparent. The author's major contribution, however, lies in his analysis of the obsession, which underlies many of his short stories, and influences his technique of characterisation. His plays are diametrically opposed to the rest of his work. In them the psychological element is lacking and issues are discussed on an abstract level. It is as if the short stories and the plays had been written by two different men. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am Indebted to Professor T .M .

He writes concerning modem Arabic literature: "It is not for the outsider to determine the branch of literary endeavor In which the Arab public will recognize itself most readily, nor is if for him to select within that branch the individual works that are being experienced as the most representative and to which therefore the foreigner 1 writer, critic, scholar, and public at large should be exposed." The Arab and European-Americcn positions say the same thing, but is their significance the same? To this writer, the answer is no. The topic of discussion, Arabic literature, is the same, but the speakers are different. On the one hand is an insider (Arab) giving his views to an outsider (European or American), and on the other are outsiders making statements for their own consumption. This distinction is fundamental. Before the European-American position is tackled, the Arab position should be inspected most closely, as it ultimately has a bearing on the European^American one. If is important to note who the Arabs are that speak out on the subject. Having known Arabs both inside and outside the Middle East, this writer has been struck by the difference In their thinking and attitudes. Many become defensive about their cultural heritage once they are ?n the "West", and they live It nostalgically. This is especially true of those who 1. G .E . von Grilnebaum, in Arabic Writing Today. The Short Story, p. 13, 8 actually settle in the "West". This defensive attitude is very likely reinforced by anti-Western attitudes exemplified by an author such asTawfTq ai-Hakim I who believes in the essential dichotomy between East and West* This 2 attitude is not restricted to the Arab world,but is also found further East* These attitudes are part of a given culture at a given point of history * But such ideas may undergo modification since they are part of a living culture* If, however, a member of his culture leaves his milieu the culture ceases to be a living thing but may become a rigid set of unchanging values to which the individual refers in his new environment. This is a universal phenomenon and is by no means restricted to the Arabs. This writer has seen this happen in the case of Europeans who have emigrated to the United States. Such individuals, however, have one advantage over the Arabs in that they are leaving one "Western11 culture for another, and in principle should be able to participate in the wider "Western" culture. But in reality not all are able to do so, and the migration warps them in some way or other. Thus it would be more difficult for an Arab to make the cultural adjustment in the "West", as he comes from a long tradition distinct from the European one. When we go back to the immediate topic under discussion, the understanding of Arab literature, the Arab is not at such a disadvantage as it seems. "Western" literature is now a part of his tradition, and a living 1. Tawflq al-Hakim, Fann al^Adab, at-Ta^adullyya, Tahta Shams al-Fikr and ( UsfOr min ash-Sharq. 2 , Rabindranath Tagore, Sadhana. tradition at that. Books are translated, and they have an impact on the writers. This last point is crucial to the discussion. If one turns to the Westerner who is interested in Arabic literature, such an individual is at a real disadvantage. The Arab tradition is not part of his active cultural arsenal, and he therefore has to study Arab literature from scratch.

  • Women and the Communist Party of Canada, 1932-1941, with Specific Reference to the Activism of Dorothy Livesay and Jim Watts
    Mother Russia and the Socialist Fatherland: Women and the Communist Party of Canada, 1932-1941, with specific reference to the activism of Dorothy Livesay and Jim Watts by Nancy Butler A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada November 2010 Copyright © Nancy Butler, 2010 ii Abstract This dissertation traces a shift in the Communist Party of Canada, from the 1929 to 1935 period of militant class struggle (generally known as the ‘Third Period’) to the 1935-1939 Popular Front Against Fascism, a period in which Communists argued for unity and cooperation with social democrats. The CPC’s appropriation and redeployment of bourgeois gender norms facilitated this shift by bolstering the CPC’s claims to political authority and legitimacy. ‘Woman’ and the gendered interests associated with women—such as peace and prices—became important in the CPC’s war against capitalism. What women represented symbolically, more than who and what women were themselves, became a key element of CPC politics in the Depression decade. Through a close examination of the cultural work of two prominent middle-class female members, Dorothy Livesay, poet, journalist and sometime organizer, and Eugenia (‘Jean’ or ‘Jim’) Watts, reporter, founder of the Theatre of Action, and patron of the Popular Front magazine New Frontier, this thesis utilizes the insights of queer theory, notably those of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Judith Butler, not only to reconstruct both the background and consequences of the CPC’s construction of ‘woman’ in the 1930s, but also to explore the significance of the CPC’s strategic deployment of heteronormative ideas and ideals for these two prominent members of the Party.

  • A COMPARATIVE STUDY of REFORMIST and TRADITIONALIST CONCEPTIONS of the OBJECTIVES of SHARĪ'a by OMER TASGETIREN (Under the Di
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF REFORMIST AND TRADITIONALIST CONCEPTIONS OF THE OBJECTIVES OF SHARĪ‘A by OMERTASGETIREN (Under the Direction of Alan Godlas) ABSTRACT A comparison of the ideas of the reformist Muslim thinkers Khaled Abou El Fadl and Tariq Ramadan with those of the more traditionalist scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi illustrates that, in contrast to what is generally assumed, there is substantial common ground between these reformist and traditionalist positions in four areas; human rights and democracy, women's rights, jihād and peace, and dialogue and collaboration. This consensus among these Muslim intellectuals on these important issues has arisen because they share a theory of interpretation that necessitates the utilization of and reliance upon "objectives of Sharī‘a" (maqāṣid al- sharī‘a) to adjudicate between conflicting points of view. Since these thinkers espouse this methodology of jurisprudence and do not differ substantially concerning their views of the foundational principles of Islam, it becomes possible for them to propound similar ideas regarding the four areas mentioned above.

Cline of the University of Texas, who made available to me the resources of his per- sonal collection of Meredithiana, and who provided me with specialized information on Meredith which he had gathered while preparing a new edi- tion of Meredith's letters. A similar debt of gratitude is owed to Professor Phyllis Bartlett of Queens College, who provided me with informa- tion gathered while preparing a new edition of Meredith's poems. Finally, I would like to express my very great appreciation to the faculty members of the University of Florida who are members of the com- mittee which has guided me in the present work: Professors Ants Oras, William Ruff, and Leland L. Zimmerman. To Professor Oras I am especially grateful, both for his detailed supervision of this work and for his great kindness to me during several years of study at the University of Florida.
