    BRISMES ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2016 NETWORKS CONNECTING THE MIDDLE EAST THROUGH TIME, SPACE AND CYBERSPACE www.brismes.ac.uk/conference 13 – 15 July 2016 University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Lampeter Campus 13 – 15 July, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Lampeter Campus 1 New titles from I.B.Tauris www.ibtauris.com WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS Welcome from BRISMES It is a great pleasure to welcome you to this year’s Annual Conference of the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BRISMES). This is the first time that BRISMES has convened its Annual Conference in Wales, and we are delighted to hold it in collaboration with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David at their Lampeter Campus. I would like to thank our Conference Convenor, Gary Bunt, Reader in Islamic Studies here in Lampeter for making this possible and allowing so many of us to come and enjoy this beautiful setting. This year’s theme has encouraged a diverse mix of papers. With presentations exploring political mobilisation networks, religious networks, cultural networks, smuggling networks, trade networks, social networks online, and those connecting the Middle East through time and space, there is a fascinatingly diverse range of panels to attend. We are delighted that the keynote address will be given by the Welsh author, poet and lyricist Grahame Davies, and that he will celebrate this conference’s particular setting by exploring the centuries-long historical connection between Wales and Islam. As a former Ambassador to Yemen I am familiar with the long trading connections between Yemen and Cardiff and am looking forward to learning more about the even deeper historical links with Islam.

  • Dylan Thomas' Poetry – a Critical Study (1914 – 1953)
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 10, Ver. VIII (Oct. 2014), PP 26-31 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Dylan Thomas’ Poetry – A Critical Study (1914 – 1953) George Dodda Abstract: The present study comprises FIVE chapters. The opening chapter is entitles “The Peot and the Milieu, in which his early friends like Daniel Jones, E.W.Ted Lock, Pamela Hangfold Johnson, George Baker, G.S. Prasad, Edith Sitwell, Henry Gibson, Elder Olson who were to find a place and their impact on his writings. The second chapter entitled “The Creative Genius of the Poet” attempts to examine Thomas’ achievement as a poet. The third chapter is entitled “Dylan Thomas’ Imagery and Symbolism”. His writings are interspersed with myths and allusions from classical as well as Renaissance Literature through the present day. The fourth chapter of Dylan Thomas is ”The craftsmanship and the Poet”, attempts to examine the influence of the Bardic tradition. The concluding chapter sums up the observations made in the preceding chapters. The chapter deals with my assessment of the poet’s work besides certain evaluations made by significant writers. I. The Poet And The Milieu Dylan Thomas expresses not only his poignant ideas but also displays the milieu and spirit of Welsh region through his verse. The long shadows of two World Wars of 1914-18 and 1939-45 left an indelible impression on the minds of sensitive readers. Science and Technology have transformed our lives. The Second World War split the world into two blocks, the East dominated by Russia and the West by America.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

Pfaff Disputation: Berlin, den 27.06.2008 2 Appropriating New Technology for Minority Language Revitalization Acknowledgments This dissertation would not have been written without the continuous support as well as great help of my dear Professor Gerhard Leitner. His expertise, understanding, and patience added considerably to my research experience. I would like to express my deep gratitude for him because it was his persistence and direction that encouraged me to complete my Ph.D. My special thanks goes out to Professor Carol W. Pfaff for giving me the opportunity to do a seminar on endangered languages at the John F. Kennedy Institute, which has been very useful for my thesis and professional experience. Thanks to Professor Peter Kunsmann, PD Dr.Volker Gast, and Dr. Florian Haas for kindly accepting to serve on my defense committee. I would also like to thank the Freie University of Berlin for the financial support that it provided me with to finish my research. The Welsh Language Board has also been very supportive in offering me recent literature on the development of Information Technology during my visit to Wales. Thanks to Grahame Davies from BBC Wales who provided me with many insights at different points in time with regard to Welsh new media and related matters.
