They could not understand this continual challenge, this nomad machismo, or the sharp, impatient bloody-mindedness of the Somali. The Somali had to control himself, even when learning how to handle weapons, which he loved and cherished. What will happen in the wider limits of Somaliland, north of the Juba, it is hard to predict, but the area to the south is sufficiently small to offer an easy field for the extension of European influence when it is commercially and financially worth while.

  • The Novel and the Short Story in Ireland
    The Novel and the Short Story in Ireland: Readership, Society and Fiction, 1922-1965. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Anthony Halpen April 2016 Anthony Halpen Institute of Irish Studies The University of Liverpool 27.03.2016 i ABSTRACT The Novel and the Short Story in Ireland: Readership, Society and Fiction, 1922-1965. Anthony Halpen, The Institute of Irish Studies, The University of Liverpool. This thesis considers the novel and the short story in the decades following the achievement of Irish independence from Britain in 1922. During these years, many Irish practitioners of the short story achieved both national and international acclaim, such that 'the Irish Short Story' was recognised as virtually a discrete genre. Writers and critics debated why Irish fiction-writers could have such success in the short story, but not similar success with their novels. Henry James had noticed a similar situation in the United States of America in the early nineteenth century. James decided the problem was that America's society was still forming - that the society was too 'thin' to support successful novel-writing. Irish writers and critics applied his arguments to the newly-independent Ireland, concluding that Irish society was indeed the explanation. Irish society was depicted as so unstructured and fragmented that it was inimical to the novel but nurtured the short story. Ireland was described variously: "broken and insecure" (Colm Tóibín), "often bigoted, cowardly, philistine and spiritually crippled" (John McGahern) and marked by "inward-looking stagnation" (Dermot Bolger).

    TRAVEL BOOKS ‘Freedom is only the insistence of a soul to be left in peace to enjoy the sunrise’ Julian Sayarer’s latest book sees revelations and revolutions in Israel and Palestine, says Michael Kerr t the 2017 Edinburgh Festival, Julian Sayarer told an Israeli writer that travelling by bike allowed you to cut through to something deeper in places, to tell A the truth about them. In that case, she said, he should go to Israel and Palestine. The result is Fifty Miles Wide, in which he weaves from the ancient hills of Galilee, along the walled-in Gaza Strip and down to the Bedouin villages of the Naqab desert. He talks to Palestinian cyclists and hip-hop artists; to Israeli soldiers training for war and to a lawyer who took a leading role in peace talks. His book took courage on the road and is adventurous on the page. It conveys powerfully what life is like for people on both sides of “the world’s most entrenched impasse”. At the same time, it’s full of free spirits and the joys of freewheeling. In the extract below, Sayarer heads for the first time into the hills of Palestine. ‘SENTENCES FORM AS THE WHEELS TURN...’ Julian Sayarer finds philosophy NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF TRAVEL WRITING in the hills of Palestine GETTY IMAGES; ALAMY IMAGES; GETTY Jini Reddy, a London The £10,000 Where does journalist with Ondaatje Prize of Suffolk he goats watch me packed into a sand-coloured jeep, shouts “hello!” and each old man calls multicultural roots, has the Royal heathland meet watching them.

  • The Eland Catalogue, No. 14
    Welcome to the Eland Catalogue, No. 14 In 1982, John Hatt set up Eland. His office was his attic, perched at the top of his house on a grid of 19th-century terraced streets. Thus was Eland born, earning its identity from a South London street named after a large African antelope, which had been nicknamed by a Dutch-African back in the 17th-century, half-remembering the German slang for an elk. Only later did we find out that there had been an old Devonian family of bookseller-publishers called Eland, who worked in the close of Exeter Cathedral, a football stadium in Leeds and an Anglo-Saxon manor in Yorkshire that survived the Norman conquest. But it is to the large, docile, spiral-horned antelope that we owe our brand name. They sound fine animals these African Elands. A bull can stand six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh over two thousand pounds, so can pretty much barge his way through anything in his path, especially when backed up by the rest of the herd. Unlike publishers they tend to avoid lunch, preferring to eat at dawn and dusk and digest with a siesta in the middle of the day. When the herd moves in the night, they create a distinctive castanet-like chorus from the clack of their hooves. For tens of thousands of years the Bushmen have honoured the Eland as a trickster god, who assists in trance, dance and spirit travel. The Eland has now and then been domesticated (their milk keeps well) but they are essentially nomadic, which is true for those who work at Eland, who have spent as much of their time as journalists, writers, editors, dog-whisperers and dragoman-guides as behind a desk.

  • Tibetan Women's Life Writing and the En-Gendering of National History in Exile
    Complex Conformities: Tibetan women’s life writing and the en-gendering of national history in Exile Isabella Heidi Ofner ORCID: 0000-0001-6472-4487 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Abstract This thesis examines the ways in which the life writing of Tibetan women in exile negotiates the place of gender in the (re)writing of Tibetan history, within the larger project of ideological nation building. Located at the intersection of literary, cultural and historical studies, this study is concerned with the alternative histories contained within women’s life stories and their relation to ‘official’ Tibetan national history and the structures of power that maintain the gendered nature of the historical archive in the Tibetan exile community. Engaging questions of gender, nationalism and life writing through the lens of postcolonial feminism, I use a historically contextualized close- textual analysis to show how five selected exile Tibetan women’s life narratives present previously neglected national histories that both challenge and uphold the dominant exile political history of Tibet during the first half of the twentieth century. This research project is thus also an inquiry into our understanding of what constitutes Tibetan national history and the possibility of transforming the Tibetan historical archive, within which women and their histories have mostly remained hidden from view. 1 Table

  • ̱ Ͳ͵Ͻ ̱ the Balkans in Contemporary Anglo-American
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 13 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy June 2014 The Balkans in Contemporary Anglo-American Travel Writing Marija Krivokapiý University of Montenegro Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n13p139 Abstract This paper addresses travel writing as a genre pregnant with signifying practices of the culture that has produced it and, thus, significantly reflective of the relation between the two sides of the encounter, which is of a pronounced concern now, when the difference between the ideology of European history/ies and the exclusive Balkan heritage has to be reconciled. The travel writing about the Balkans produced since the 1990s – during the turbulent decades that witnessed war, political, and financial crises, but also the region’s efforts to stabilize, harmonize, and achieve an access to the European union – likewise reflect a variety of frequently contradictory responses by the travellers. Therefore, we believe that it is a high time to revisit it. This paper will deal with some renowned travellers, Paul Theroux, Robert D. Kaplan, Bill Bryson, Dervla Murphy, but also with texts less familiar to the academic audience. Keywords: travel writing, the 1990s, postcolonial theory, globalization, salvage writing, cosmopolitanism. 1. Introduction Because books of travel are not only about the travelled world but also about travelling and, therefore, about the travelling subject, the material assessed here is as much about the West as it is about the Balkans. Apart from the orthodox knowledge that human mind is always intentional and, thus, the “other” is necessarily the mirror and the product of the culture through which eyes see, travel writer Pico Iyer explains that “real travel” is not about discovery but about the travelling subject’s awareness of their own “position in relation to an exterior world,” it is “an activity tied up exclusively with our personal definitions of what makes up self and home” (cf.

  • The History of Somali Piracy: from Classical Piracy to Contemporary Piracy, C
    The History of Somali Piracy: From Classical Piracy to Contemporary Piracy, c. 1801-2011 Mohamed Haji Ingiriis Sur la côte nord-est de la Somalie, la piraterie est un péril contemporain tant sur mer que sur terre. Le but de ce papier est de traiter la dimension historique de la piraterie somalienne, en particulier dans le Puntland, en employant des limites théoriques qui dépassent le champ de l’historiographie somalien actuel. Cette étude montre que la piraterie contemporaine garde un lien historique avec la piraterie classique, fait qui n’a pas été noté à ce jour, en partie à cause d’une focalisation sur la récente famine qui a dévasté la Corne de l’Afrique et qui semble fournir une explication immédiate. L’intention ici est d’ajouter un nouveau point de vue historique et dimension culturelle au discours actuel sur la piraterie en Somalie afin de la mettre en contexte. Utilisant la tradition orale et la documentation de voyages somaliens coloniales, cet article examine la piraterie somalienne dans un contexte global et somalien, en faisant valoir que les causes profondes de la piraterie dans cette partie de la Corne de l’Afrique ont été cultivés—non comme les chercheurs « nationalistes » ont soutenu—mais par la culture somalienne de vol de chameau, exacerbée par l’environnement hostile. Il est impossible, on fera également valoir, de comprendre la piraterie somalienne contemporaine sans plonger dans l’histoire maritime de la Somalie et la piraterie classique à terre. Ce document conclut que les pirates somaliens contemporains sont les descendants des pirates classiques qui étaient connus pour leurs déprédations dans la région du Cap Guardafui au cours du XIXe siècle.

Word count: 7670 (including references, excluding abstract) 1 What Am I Still Doing Here? Travel, Travel Writing, and Old Age Wanderlust, unlike other lusts, does not diminish with age. (Murphy 2015: vii) What Am I Doing Here (1989) was the last book that Bruce Chatwin, widely credited with breathing new life into the moribund genre of travel writing with his 1977 book on Patagonia, completed in his lifetime. It is a miscellaneous collection of stories, essays, and reviews which includes only one genuine travelogue (on trekking in Nepal). Its title, in which the interrogative form is curiously subverted by the lack of punctuation, nonetheless articulates a question that many travel writers put to themselves at some point in their lives or careers. It is a question that, it might be supposed, would occur more frequently the older a travel writer gets, whether because of declining physical health, waning interest in a genre that makes serious demands on body, time, and relationships, or a growing sense that one has seen as much of the world as one wants to – that one has lost that capacity to be “bored by nothing” that, Alain de Botton suggests, has fueled some of the best travel narratives (de Botton 2002: 117).
