Stark’s decades of experience in the Middle East provided her with a unique vision for the future of the region, which she saw becoming an area containing modern, independent nations after the end of World War II. Stark’s 1943-1944 tour of the United States of America provided her with an opportunity to explain this perspective. Yet, due to the timing of the tour coinciding with the increased tension surrounding Zionism in the United States and abroad, Stark faced personal criticism that was both inappropriate and avoidant. Freya Stark is now a neglected figure in history, whose vision for the Middle East and experiences in defense of this vision merit examination. 4 Freya Stark was a British traveler, author, and propagandist who authored two dozen books on her experiences in the Middle East and along the Mediterranean coast. Stark’s decades of experience in the Middle East provided her with a unique vision for the future of the region, which she saw becoming an area containing modern, independent nations after the end of World War II. Stark’s 1943-1944 tour of the United States of America provided her with an opportunity to explain this perspective. Yet, due to the timing of the tour coinciding with the increased tension surrounding Zionism in the United States and abroad, Stark faced personal criticism that was both inappropriate and avoidant. Freya Stark is now a neglected figure in history, whose vision for the Middle East and experiences in defense of this vision merit examination. Unfortunately, Freya Stark is not taken seriously by professional historians today. None of her biographers is a professional historian, and only Malise Ruthven, possesses a terminal degree.1 Caroline Moorehead, who wrote the biography Freya Stark (Lives of Modern Women) which was published in 1986, was the daughter of Lucy Moorehead, an old friend of Freya Stark’s, also took on the project of assisting Stark edit and type all of her letters for publication.2 Jock Murray, Freya Stark’s longtime friend and publisher, commissioned and then rejected a biography of Stark by Molly Izzard, claiming that it A Subversive Imperialist: Reappraising Freya Stark,” Alif: Journal of“ ,ﺰﻴﻟﺎﻣﻦﭭﺛﺍﺭ Malise Ruthven and 1 Comparative Poetics, no. 26 (2006): 147–67; Caroline Moorehead, Freya Stark (London: Allison & Busby, 2014); Efraim Karsh and Rory Miller, “Freya Stark in America: Orientalism, Antisemitism and Political Propaganda,” Journal of Contemporary History 39, no. 3 (2004): 315–332; Molly Izzard, Freya Stark: A Biography, First Edition edition (London: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1993); Jane Fletcher Geniesse, Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark (Modern Library, 2001); Simon Albert, “The Wartime ‘Special Relationship’, 1941-1945: Isaiah Berlin, Freya Stark, and Mandate Palestine,” Jewish Historical Studies 45 (2013): 103–30; Malise Ruthven, Traveller through Time: A Photographic Journey with Freya Stark (Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England ; New York, N.Y., U.S.A: Viking Adult, 1986). 2 Freya Stark, Letters: Bridge of the Levant, 1940-1943, v. 4, ed. Lucy Moorehead (Salisbury: Michael Russell Publishing Ltd, 1978). 5 was too critical.3 The book, Freya Stark: A Biography, was published in 1993, and looks at Freya Stark’s persona as a construction.4 Jane Fletcher Geniesse also published a biography of Stark, which carefully balanced criticism of some of her choices and views with a recognition of her place in history.5 Geniesse’s work, Passionate Nomad, is probably the best biographical work on Stark to date. Malise Ruthven wrote a number of books with and about Freya Stark, but these were colored by their close relationship as godson and godmother. Interestingly, in 2006 Ruthven co-authored an article for Alif: Journal of Comparative Poetics entitled “A Subversive Imperialist: Reappraising Freya Stark.”6 This article acknowledges that Freya Stark’s place in history has been called into question, and was an attempt to protect her legacy as well as to highlight her unique position in history. The article established that both Stark’s writing and her accolades as a traveler have been criticized and called into question.7 Ruthven particularly takes issue with the comparison of Stark to Gertrude Bell, one of history’s most remembered Orientalists. Unlike Gertrude Bell, whose class and financial position enabled her to maintain an elite status even while traveling, Stark “was a little Miss Nobody who ventured into regions few Europeans- least of all an unaccompanied woman- had dared to enter before. She was often short of cash, and had nothing to sustain her beyond her native wits, her charm, resilience, and enthusiasm.”8 A Subversive Imperialist: Reappraising Freya Stark,” Alif: Journal of“ ,ﺰﻴﻟﺎﻣﻦﭭﺛﺍﺭ Malise Ruthven and 3 Comparative Poetics, no. 26 (2006): 149. 4 Molly Izzard, Freya Stark: A Biography, First Edition edition (London: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1993). 8. 5 Jane Fletcher Geniesse, Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark (Modern Library, 2001). A Subversive Imperialist: Reappraising Freya Stark,” Alif: Journal of“ ,ﺰﻴﻟﺎﻣﻦﭭﺛﺍﺭ Malise Ruthven and 6 Comparative Poetics, no. 26 (2006): 147–67. 7 Ibid., 147. 8 Ibid., 151. 6 Professional scholars have written little about Stark in the twenty-four years since her death. The most notable article about Freya Stark was published by Efraim Karsh and Rory Miller in the Journal of Contemporary History in 2004. The article, which discusses Freya Stark’s American tour, accused Stark of romanticizing the Middle East, and being an orientalist and a closet antisemite.9 Following this article, Freya Stark’s tour is the point of conjecture for Simon Albert’s 2013 article which speculates that her U.S. tour was set-up to fail by Isaiah Berlin, a political scholar who worked for the British government at the time.10 In both articles, there is a focus on condemning Stark’s actions, without an effort to understand them. There have been other articles about Stark which discuss her role as a female traveler and writer, but a surprising few about her as a propagandist.11 This was a woman who wrote twenty-four books based on her travels, published eight volumes of letters, and was living and working in the Middle East for almost half her life, yet today few acknowledge her expertise. It is true that Freya Stark studied the Middle East as an Arabist, and her earlier works, as asserted by Karsh and Miller, do include some standard orientalist phrases.12 Freya Stark was and still is often compared to Gertrude Bell and even T.E. Lawrence, and perhaps, as Malise Ruthven suggested, she is often mischaracterized through this comparison.13 Yet, all of the problems in addressing Stark’s perspective are not reason enough to dismiss her, as many professionals have done.

  • DHB Kapitel 4.2 Wahl Und Amtszeit Der Vizepräsidenten Des Deutschen 13.08.2021 Bundestages
    DHB Kapitel 4.2 Wahl und Amtszeit der Vizepräsidenten des Deutschen 13.08.2021 Bundestages 4.2 Wahl und Amtszeit der Vizepräsidenten des Deutschen Bundestages Stand: 13.8.2021 Grundlagen und Besonderheiten bei den Wahlen der Vizepräsidenten Die Stellvertreter des Präsidenten werden wie der Bundestagspräsident für die Dauer der Wahlperiode gewählt und können nicht abgewählt werden. Für die Wahl der Stellvertreter des Präsidenten sieht die Geschäftsordnung des Bundestages in § 2 Absatz 1 und 2 getrennte Wahlhandlungen mit verdeckten Stimmzetteln vor. In der 12. Wahlperiode (1990) sowie in der 17., 18. und 19. Wahlperiode (2009, 2013 und 2017) wurden die Stellvertreter mit verdeckten Stimmzetteln in einem Wahlgang (also mit einer Stimmkarte) gewählt1. In der 13. Wahlperiode (1994) wurde BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN drittstärkste Fraktion und beanspruchte einen Platz im Präsidium. Die SPD wollte andererseits auf einen ihrer bisherigen zwei Vizepräsidenten nicht verzichten. Zugleich war erkennbar, dass sich keine Mehrheit für eine Vergrößerung des Präsidiums von fünf auf sechs Mitglieder finden ließ, und die FDP war nicht bereit, als nunmehr kleinste Fraktion aus dem Präsidium auszuscheiden. Da eine interfraktionelle Einigung nicht zustande kam, musste die Wahl der Vizepräsidenten mit Hilfe einer Geschäftsordnungsänderung durchgeführt werden. Vor der eigentlichen Wahl kam es nach einer längeren Geschäftsordnungsdebatte zu folgendem Verfahren2: 1. Abstimmung über den Änderungsantrag der Fraktion BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN: Einräumung eines Grundmandats im Präsidium für jede Fraktion (Drucksache 13/8): Annahme. 2. Abstimmung über den Änderungsantrag der Fraktion der SPD: Erweiterung des Präsidiums auf sechs Mitglieder (Drucksache 13/7): Ablehnung. 3. Abstimmung über den Änderungsantrag der Gruppe der PDS: Einräumung eines Grundmandats im Präsidium für jede Fraktion und Gruppe (Drucksache 13/15 [neu]): Ablehnung.

The United Kingdom signed a treaty with Iraq in October 1922 defining the relationship between the two sovereign states. This treaty imposed limits on the sovereignty of Iraq and maintained British interests in the country. In 1925, the area around Mosul, which was rich in oil deposits, was ceded to Iraq from Turkey.

    21 avril L’affaire d’Irak Arbil – Larminat réorganise ses forces. Il a prévu de faire éclater ses forces en dispositif opérationnel. Dès le lendemain, son premier groupement tactique, le GTA (A pour Algériens), descendra vers Shaykh en longeant le Tigre. Le deuxième, le GTB (B pour British, colonel Arbuthnot), se dirigera sur Dibs et Altun Kupri. Enfin, le troisième, le GTZ (Z pour zouaves), doté des véhicules les plus rapides, sera lancé en direction de Taqtaq et de Dokan. Larminat est soucieux de coopération entre alliés, mais peu convaincu de la totale sincérité britannique depuis que certains épisodes regrettables qui se sont déroulés à Dunkerque lui ont été rapportés ; de plus, comme la majorité des coloniaux, il est traditionnellement anglophobe (non sans raisons, d’ailleurs). C’est pourquoi il encadre les unités du colonel Arbuthnot entre les siennes. Il va jusqu’à lui rattacher la compagnie mobile de fusiliers-marins de Lattaquieh, en renfort de leurs éléments de reconnaissance : « La Marine – que Dieu et Maurras me pardonnent – me servira d’Œil de Moscou » ricane le général, que personne n’accuserait pourtant de sympathies pour le communisme. La progression devrait s’accélérer, puisqu’on sera enfin en Irak “utile”, où les besoins de l’exploitation du pétrole ont conduit, depuis 1920, à la construction d’un dense réseau de routes de bonne qualité. Peut-être sera-t-il aussi possible de réquisitionner dans les parcs des compagnies pétrolières des poids lourds modernes ou des tracteurs et des remorques, pour suppléer les vieux porte-chars Berliet et Saurer qui ont mal digéré le sable des déserts.
