  • Intertextuality in Ian Mcewan's Selected Novels
    1 Intertextuality in Ian McEwan's Selected Novels Assist. Prof. Raad Kareem Abd-Aun, PhD Dijla Gattan Shannan (M.A. Student) Abstract The term intertextuality is coined by poststructuralist Julia Kristeva, in her essay “Word, Dialogue and Novel” (1969). The underlying principle of intertextuality is relationality and lack of independence. In this paper, this technique (intertextuality) will be discussed in Ian McEwan's selected novels. The novels are Enduring Love (1997), Atonement (2001), and Sweet Tooth (2012). Key Words: intertextuality, McEwan, Enduring Love, Atonement, Sweet Tooth. التناص في أعمال روائية مختارة ﻹيان مكيون أ.م. د. رعد كريم عبد عون دجلة كطان شنان أستخدم مصطلح التناص ﻷول مرة من قبل الناقدة جوليا كرستيفا في مقالتها )الكلمة و الحوار و الرواية( عام 1969. إن المبدأ الرئيس خلف التناص هو العﻻقة وعدم وجود اﻹستقﻻلية. وفي هذا البحث، ُدرست هذه التقنية في روايات مختارة ﻹيان مكيون، والروايات هي الحب اﻷبدي )1997( و الغفران )2001( و سويت تووث )2012(. الكلمات المفتاحية: التناص؛ مكيون؛ الحب اﻷبدي؛ الغفران؛ سويت تووث. 2 Intertextuality in Ian McEwan's Selected Novels Ian McEwan (1948) is one of the most significant British writers since the 1970s, this is due his way of the link between morality and the novel for a whole generation, in ways that befit the historical pressures of their time. This makes his novels have a significant form of cultural expression McEwan’s early works are characterized by self – ambiguity in which he is tackling important social themes within the fictional scenario. His early narrative is described as “snide and bored”, or as “acutely dysfunctional or the abusive”, at other times as “inexplicaply lawless”.

  • 1 Eric Hobsbawm and the Importance of Jazz When Eric Hobsbawm
    Eric Hobsbawm and the Importance of Jazz When Eric Hobsbawm began writing his columns on jazz for the New Statesman in 1956, he took the pen name ‘Francis Newton’ appropriately after the communist trumpeter who played with Billie Holiday. He suggested that this was done with some idea of keeping his jazz life separate from his academic life.1 The subsequent The Jazz Scene appeared in 1959, the same year as Primitive Rebels, and was similarly published under the pseudonym. Many soon knew that Newton was Hobsbawm, and he would talk openly about jazz soon after the book was published, with Richard Gott, for example, recalling hearing the latter speak at Oxford in 1960 when he ‘talked as much about jazz as history.’2 Hobsbawm would later suggest that jazz had become a ‘recognised part of C20th culture’, and was more widely accepted by the public and academics, and there would no longer be a need to try and keep his academic and jazz interests separate.3 He had been influential in making jazz more popular and a subject for serious study, and aside from The Jazz Scene and the articles in the New Statesman, which continued until 1963, he also wrote for various journals and his 1998 collection Uncommon People included eight pieces of jazz writing in a separate section.4 Hobsbawm also noted that his early interest in jazz had an impact on his wider historical research, giving him insights into the ‘realities’ of the US, given the fact that jazz originated in America’s class divided and ethnically mixed cities.

  • Essay - Martin Amis and Islam - Books - Review - New York Times
    Essay - Martin Amis and Islam - Books - Review - New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/09/books/review/Donadio-t.html?_r=... March 9, 2008 ESSAY Amis and Islam By RACHEL DONADIO “I’m a passionate multiracialist and a very poor multiculturalist,” Martin Amis said a few weeks ago. He was on the phone from London, praising his hometown’s ethnic variety — “It’s exhilarating and moving to live in a city with so many races and so many colors” — and denouncing its fissures, particularly over radical Islam. “I don’t think that we can accommodate cultures and ideologies that make life very difficult for half the human race: women.” Amis was explaining his stance in a gloves-off row that’s been raging in the British press since last fall, when the literary theorist Terry Eagleton likened some of Amis’s statements on Muslims to “the ramblings of a British National Party thug.” On the one hand, it’s a classic English literary donnybrook, full of punchy insults like Eagleton’s claim that Amis was taking after his curmudgeonly father, Kingsley Amis, whom he characterized as a “racist, anti-Semitic boor, a drink-sodden, self-hating reviler of women, gays and liberals.” But the dust-up also touches on the fault lines of multiethnic Britain. In the press, Amis has been accused of lazy thinking and Muslim-bashing. The left-leaning Guardian ran a prominent feature, “Martin Amis and the New Racism,” with an unflattering illustration. Things have only heated up since January, with the British publication of “The Second Plane,” Amis’s new book of essays, subtitled “September 11: Terror and Boredom.” (The book, which received fairly tepid reviews in England, will appear in the United States in April.) It all began in August 2006, when Amis granted a wide-ranging interview to Ginny Dougary of The Times of London, published online.

COURSE DESCRIPTION The relationship between politics and the arts has always been a fraught one. At one end of the spectrum are those artists and writers who advocate a strict separation of art and politics (“art for art’s sake”); at the opposite end are those who consider it the creative artist’s duty to engage with the political issues of their time. In this course, we will look at five arenas in which politics and the arts became inextricably caught up with each other and artists found themselves obliged to enter into the political fray, sometimes even if they didn’t want to. Through the close reading of stories, novels, poems, and essays, as well as consideration of paintings and other examples of the visual arts, theater, dance, and film, we will examine how the arts have reflected, foretold, and sometimes brought about political change. Our approach will be to study these works less as discrete entities than as participatory contributions (sometimes polite, sometimes contentious, sometimes enraged) to an unending conversation about government, sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, war, and religion; in short, about what it means to be human.
