BRINING-DISSERTATION-2016.Pdf Copyright by Holly Renee Brining 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Holly Renee Brining Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Spouses, Lovers, and Other Strangers: Men, Women, and Relationships in the Works of Rafik Schami Committee: Kirsten Belgum, Supervisor Kirkland Fulk Barbara Harlow Peter Hess Sandra Straubhaar Spouses, Lovers, and Other Strangers: Men, Women, and Relationships in the Works of Rafik Schami by Holly Renee Brining, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2016 Dedication For my parents, Robert and M. Judith Brining, my grandparents, Arthur and Doris Hancock, and my husband, Scott Stuhlmann. Spouses, Lovers, and Other Strangers: Men, Women, and Relationships in the Works of Rafik Schami Holly Renee Brining, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2016 Supervisor: Kirsten Belgum Syrian-German author Rafik Schami has a literary career spanning approximately thirty years. Although his native Syria often forms the backdrop for his stories, Schami’s intended audience is clearly German-speaking because he composes his works in German. As most of the discourse on minority literature in Germany focuses on Turkish- German literature, an examination of Schami’s texts would offer another perspective on this phenomenon. This dissertation project focuses on several novels from Rafik Schami, including Reise zwischen Nacht und Morgen, Die dunkle Seite der Liebe, Die Sehnsucht der Schwalbe, and Das Geheimnis des Kalligraphen, all of which thematize various types of interpersonal relationships, including familial and romantic. With few exceptions, men and women inhabit different worlds, and this complicates their ability to maintain a connection to one another. The world of women is frequently depicted as exotic or secretive, whereas the world of men is one of brutality. This separation of men and women is imposed by political and cultural means. In his characterization of the v relationships between men and women, the author draws attention to their respective situations and criticizes the forces that draw them apart. Most of the scholarship on Rafik Schami’s texts has focused upon intercultural communication, migration, and exoticism. Very little attention has been paid to issues of gender, although relationships and differences between men and women inhabit a significant portion of his novels. This project employs a close reading of thematic as well as structural elements in order to examine the respective worlds of men and women and the author’s critique of the factors which led to this division. The project will also examine the reception of the author’s works in order to characterize their position within contemporary German literature. vi Table of Contents Introduction

........................................................................................................308 ix Introduction Minority literature produced in Germany raises two interesting issues. First, it poses problems in terms of classification. How should these works be categorized? Do they belong in the canon? Should the idea of a national canon be completely discarded in light of such literary productions? The heritage of the author, the subject matter, and language of the texts problematize categorization efforts. The second issue has to do with Western understanding of the East.1 Much of the minority literature is produced by authors from a non-Western cultural system for a readership that may or may not share that same background. In other words,

    Alternative Politics, Vol.3, No.3, 256-419, November 2011 256 TIMELINE OF THE ARAB REVOLT: DECEMBER 2010 – JUNE 2011 Bogdan SZAJKOWSKI* December 17, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old unemployed, sets fire to himself in the central Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid, protesting at the confiscation by police of his fruit and vegetable cart. He suffers third-degree burns across his entire body and is subsequently treated in the Traumatology Centre for Severe Burns in the town of Ben Arous. His self-immolation sparks demonstrations in which protesters burned tyres and chanted slogans demanding jobs. Protests soon spread to other parts of the country including the towns of al-Ragab and Maknasi in central Tunisia, and later the capital, Tunis. Videos of the Sidi Bouzid demonstrations are online soon after the protest began and the Twitter website carries extensive commentary of the protests. December 19, 2010 Tunisia - Protests spread to Kairouan (holy city located in north-central Tunisia), Sfax (city 270 km southeast of Tunis), and Ben Guerdane (town in south-eastern Tunisia, close to the border with Libya). December 20, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Al Nouri Al Juwayni, the Tunisian development minister, travels to Sidi Bouzid to announce a new $10m employment programme. But protests continue unabated. December 21, 2010 Tunisia - President Ben Ali carries out limited cabinet reshuffle and warns that protesters would be punished if rioting continued in the country. December 22, 2010 Tunisia - Lahseen Naji, a 22-year-old commits suicide in the midst of another demonstration over unemployment in Sidi Bouzid by climbing an electricity pylon and electrocuting himself on the cables, after shouting out ―No to misery, no to unemployment!‖ 257 Bogdan Szajkowski Ramzi Al-Abboudi, under the burden of business debt, ironically made possible by the country‘s micro-credit solidarity programme, commits suicide.

    2 Transnational mobilities during the Syrian war An ethnography of rural refugees and Evangelical humanitarians in Mafraq, Jordan Ann-Christin Wagner PhD in International Development University of Edinburgh January 2019 3 4 Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgment, the work presented is entirely my own. Some ethnographic vignettes and sub-sections appear in modified form in three publications which were released at about the same time as this thesis (Wagner 2017; Wagner 2018a; Wagner 2018b). Signature: Date: 3 January 2019 5 6 Abstract This thesis explores how conflict and closed borders have reshaped transnational mobilities in the Levant since 2011. It draws on fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Mafraq, a provincial town in northern Jordan, in 2016/17. At the time of my research, Mafraq was home to ca. 100,000 locals and similar numbers of Syrians. The timeframe of the study coincides with a specific moment of the humanitarian response in Jordan when stricter encampment policies had exacerbated legal insecurity for urban refugees and the dwindling of international aid had heightened the importance of grassroots and faith-based organisations to Syrians’ daily survival. The thesis speaks to recent debates on “mobility” in the Anthropology of Humanitarianism, Forced Migration and Middle Eastern Studies. It captures intersecting transnational networks of two populations that often remain invisible to policymakers and academics: marginalized rural Syrians that come from, migrate and flee to remote borderlands in the Levant, and Evangelical humanitarians who operate mostly under the radar of the mainstream aid industry and host states.

  • Reviews of EEFF
    Reviews of EEFF Reviews of EEFF appeared from 2010 on in various journals, in print and online. Some of the direct links quoted here are still active online, others not. Fortunately, I copied and saved all the reviews that I found till mid 2015, as well as the online controversy and rebuttal that one of them elicited. That accounts for the variety of fonts in this file, as well as for misspellings and misquotes. At a certain point, in 2011, I circulated a response to the first two reviews among my interlocutors. That response is included here. Highlighted portions of reviews are those I answered in that response, or in the Conclusion to VS1. Also included is a review by an Amazon reviewer, Remus, of a book on Varius by the first of my reviewers, Icks, comparing his to mine. In 2015 the latest volume of PIR2 appeared, mentioning EEFF and ‘PECE’. Those mentions are cited, and the relevant articles are pictured in full. Review 1: Martijn Icks, in Sehepunkte, 10/18/2010 http://www.sehepunkte.de/2010/10/18108.html Few Roman emperors have left a reputation in which fact and fiction have become so entangled as the third ruler bearing the name Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, better known to posterity as Elagabalus. In this study, Leonardo de Arrizabalaga y Prado attempts to disentangle the knot and reconstruct the historical emperor, boldly stating that "history is about facts... no facts, no history." (6) Although many studies of Elagabalus have been published in the past hundred years, most of these have failed to make a clear distinction between fact and fiction, lending too much credence to the numerous stories of wasteful luxury and sexual scandal which characterize the ancient accounts of the emperor's reign.
