  • Masks Or Souls?: Halide Edib's Politics and Her Pacifism As A
    ariel: a review of international english literature ISSN 0004-1327 Vol. 43 No. 4 Pages 97–122 Copyright © 2013 Masks Or Souls?: Halide Edib’s Politics and Her Pacifism as a Playwright Özlem Ezer Abstract: In this article, I discuss Halide Edib’s play Masks or Souls? (MOS) as anti-war literature by a Turkish female intellec- tual and activist who lived between the two World Wars. The ar- ticle provides a more complete portrayal of Edib, who has often been reduced to a nationalist novelist. I also argue that MOS con- tains autobiographical insights. There is evidence in MOS, for ex- ample, that Edib became a pacifist on the eve of the Second World War. Another war Edib fought was against the ideas and ideologies within the military and intellectual circles of Turkey. Through the actions and comments of several characters in the play, Edib also criticizes the reforms and westernization processes that took place immediately after the declaration of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Finally, I counter the neglect this play has suffered by calling into question some of the nation- and region-based hierarchies preva- lent in literary studies. In 1953, Halide Edib,1 a famous Turkish novelist, wrote a play in English called Masks or Souls? (MOS henceforth), based on an earlier, Turkish version of her play.2 The play offers an extensive, cynical cri- tique of ideologies of some contemporaneous governments (those of Turkey and Europe in particular) and the affairs that had been taking place in several countries like the founding of the League of Nations (which she supported) and some extreme right-wing movements (which she did not).

  • The Last Duchess of Buffalo
    Adam Hoss The Last Duchess of Buffalo f all the residents in Shoreline Senior Center’s Alzheimer’s Wing, OGladys Rockwell was the most famous. Management tasked Ariel Ramirez with her around-the-clock care. “Because of your people skills,” Rachel said. Ariel peered over the counter, straining to glimpse next week’s sched- ule-in-progress on the screen. Julian assumed his customary pose behind the nurses’ station, folding chair propped at an angle, one foot on the closet door. The reflection of Gladys Rockwell’s Wikipedia page floated on his glasses. “She was in movies with Charlie Chaplin,” he said. “Here’s a picture of her with JFK.” Rachel slurped the remains of her Pepsi through a straw. “She’s a hellion.” “In 1949, she booked the Presidential Suite at the Paris Ritz but never checked in,” Julian said. “Later she clarified the suite was for her poodle.” Ariel understood that her assignment was no promotion. Gladys Rockwell’s arrival had transformed the nursing home staff into a hive of paparazzi. She carried with her suitcases of nostalgia and mystique, Oscar snubs, glamor shots, newspaper clippings of a storied life. The centenarian’s antics were enough to see her blacklisted from several area care centers in Buffalo, her hometown, and across upstate New York. I will endure this, Ariel told herself. “You know she’s a duchess?” Julian asked. “The Queen let her keep the title, even after her divorce.” Rachel held up her hand. “We get it.” Then, turning to Ariel, “Go see how our diva’s settling in.” * 9 red rock review Ariel had managed to find employment.

  • Ethnography and the Hybrid Boy in Rudyard Kipling S "Kim"
    Ethnography and the Hybrid Boy in Rudyard Kipling s "Kim" DON RANDALL T XHE SUGGESTION THAT Kim can be approached as an eth• nography immediately raises a question about Kipling's status as an ethnographer. As James Clifford observes in his introduction to Writing Culture: The Poetics and Politics of Ethnography, eth• nographic writing normally is governed by generic determina• tions and "is usually distinguishable from a novel or a travel account" (6). Clifford nonetheless acknowledges that eth• nography "is an emergent interdisciplinary phenomenon" that "blur[s] the boundary separating art from science" (3). The ethnographer, for Clifford, is a text-maker whose work inelucta- bly requires "expressive tropes, figures, and allegories that select and impose meaning as they translate it" (7). The textual prac• tices of ethnography and literary art thus are potentially compat• ible. If Kim is not an ethnography in the purest sense, it includes ethnography; it evidences an ethnographic project. The India of Kim is clearly not exotic back-drop or trompe l'œil conforming more to the urges of imagination than to the exigencies of cultural documentation and representation. This text provides ample evidence of what one might call the ethnographic im• pulse, the writerly drive to grasp and document cultural realities. If, as Arnold Krupat suggests, ethnographers most fundamen• tally, most crucially, are the "providers of data for the under• standing of other worlds" (80), then Kipling must be granted a certain status as an ethnographer. More specifically, one can consider Kipling an imperial eth• nographer. Invariably, as George Marcus avers, "closely observed cultural worlds are imbedded in larger, more impersonal sys• tems" ( 166), are written and must be read in integral relation to a ARIEL: A Reviexu of International English Literature, 27:3, July 1996 80 DON RANDALL determining "context of historical political economy" (167).

  • Tempest and Dr. Faustus
    Of Drowning Books and Burning Souls: Magic, Minions, Relationships, and Crisis in The Tempest and Dr. Faustus Miranda Jade Friel Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Emily Leverett Department of English and Writing The central figures of Marlowe’s The Tragedy of Doctor Faustus and Shakespeare’s The Tempest bear intriguing similarities. Their use of magic and means of acquiring it, along with their interactions with their servants, highlight their relationship to reality. Both men are faced with a similar crisis at the end of their respective play as well. After having magical powers throughout the majority of the story, each man is asked, subtly or directly, to relinquish his hold on the supernatural. Yet, despite having so many characteristics in common, the two plays reach dramatically different conclusions. While later acknowledging the melancholy nature of returning to life sans powers, Prospero gives up his books and breaks his staff (Shakespeare 5.1.54-57). He also frees Ariel and Caliban, his two companions. Although entreated several times by an Old Man and various angels to repent of his ways, Faustus is dragged to Hell (Marlowe 13.11). An in-depth examination of Prospero’s and Faustus’s powers, the ways they use them, the acquisition of and relationships to their minions, and their ultimate relationships to non-magical reality provides insight into their differing destinies. These aspects of their characters also indicate that viewing Prospero as a good magician and Faustus as a bad one is reductionist, and that such a perspective is not helpful in understanding their fates. One of the most prominent similarities between Prospero and Faustus is their possession of magical powers.

In 2003, we experienced solid earnings growth despite the difficult economic and geopolitical environment that prevailed during most of the year. Most significantly, our fourth quarter was very strong, with more than double the earnings of Q4 in 2002, underscoring our confidence in generating growth in the new year. Equally important, we delivered free cash flow for the year that was up more than 50 percent over last year and continued to bolster our balance sheet. During fiscal 2003, our stock price appreciated 36 percent, compared to the S&P 500’s growth of 25 percent.
