  • 'A Grave for New York' and 'New York
    A Grave for New York and New York 80: Formulating an Arab Identity through the Lens of New York Michelle Hartman From the skyscrapers of mid-town Manhattan to the Brooklyn Bridge, from the Statue of Liberty to the prostitutes of Time Square, from Harlem to Wall Street, images of New York City are some of the most potent representations of the United States around the world. This paper explores how two Arab authors use New York City as a lens through which they for- mulate an Arab identity in and for their literary texts and I am concerned in particular with the way in which gender and race are used in these formulations. The two works I discuss are Adonis’s Qabr min ajl new york (A Grave for New York)1 and Yusuf Idris’s New York 802, published in Arabic in 1971 and 1980 respectively, and both written in Arabic, for an Arab audience. There is no doubt that either work is anything but a scathing critique of New York, used as a metonym for the United States, and in particular its claim to technology and ‘advancement.’ Both pieces clearly advocate resistance to American hegemony in the world and harshly condemn the capitalist greed with which the United States has become syn- onymous throughout the world thus manifesting the political commitment of their authors and conveying a message of Third World solidarity. Michelle Hartman, Assistant Professor Institute of Islamic Studies McGill University, Montreal, Canada 223 Works that deal with relationships between Arabs and Europeans or Arabs and Americans (assumed of course to be distinct categories) are discussed by scholars of Arabic litera- ture as part of the large body of literature dealing with what is usually referred to as the ‘east-west encounter.’ A Grave for New York and New York 80 both certainly fall into this cate- gory and both can also be read more specifically as works that deal with the United States.

    EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. Special Collections Handlist of Manuscripts, H 29 JOHN WAIN ARCHIVE MSS 2851-2875; MSS 3124-3137 E97.67 Literary manuscripts of John Barrington Wain (1925-1994) were deposited in Edinburgh University Library in 1974, and subsequently added to by the author until 1986, when the whole deposit was purchased by the Library with the help of the Local Museums Purchase Fund. These manuscripts constitute MSS 2851-2874. Some items were deposited after 1985 and these, along with the manuscripts in the possession of the author at his death were purchased in 1996, with the aid of the National Fund for Acquisitions. These manuscripts constitute MSS 3124-3137. Further manuscripts were found by his family subsequently and were gifted in December 1997: these manuscripts constitute E97.67. This group is not sorted or listed and needs to integrated with MSS 3124-3137 as the material is closely linked with the material in this group, e.g. further mss and tss of his Oxford trilogy. Wain’s incoming correspondence and outgoing letters to Philip Larkin were purchased with the help of the National Fund for Acquisitions in 1999 (E99.01). These are included in MS 2875. The manuscript of his first novel, Hurry on Down (1953), has not survived, but notebooks, mss and typescripts of most of his later novels, short stories, poetry, plays and criticism are present. The list below was compiled at different times, and conventions regarding italicization, etc. are not consistent. (Note: See the 1985 Edinburgh University Library exhibition catalogue 'Hurry Back Down: John Wain at Sixty' for further information.

H. Mohammed Koya KMEA Engineering College, Kerala- 683561, India Malayalam Braille Typewriter K A Anzya 1, Syam Prasad N Pearson 2 P.G. Student, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, KMEA Engineering College, Edathala, Kerala, India1 Embedded Software Engineer, Gadgeon Smart Systems Pvt.Ltd., Kerala, India 2 ABSTRACT: Writing is a very effective means of communicating our thoughts to people. We use scripts provided by the language to convey our thoughts through paper. Braille is a system that enables blind and visually impaired people to read and write through touch. This paper tries to implement a new system where the blind people can read as well as practice writing in Braille language. The important point is that here we use Braille in Malayalam language. The printed paper provides Malayalam letters punched as Braille characters. This is a cost effective and compact system which will serve an important role in this modern era. The letters to be punched are pressed in the keypad and correspondingly the six solenoids get excited and it is punched on a paper. The system consists of a hardware session which mainly consists of a PIC microcontroller, keyboard for giving inputs, a printing module to hold the paper to be printed, DC motors and its drivers for controlling the vertical and horizontal motion of the paper and a solenoid box with six solenoids arranged as a 3*2 matrix for making imprints on the paper KEYWORDS: Braille, Tactile writing system, Perkins Brailler.

  • What Is Braille
    Search Braille was first developed about 1820 by a young Frenchman named Louis Braille. He created Braille by modifying a system of night writing which was intended for use on board ships. He did this work as a very young man and had it complete by the time he was about 18. He and his friends at the school for the blind he attended found that reading and writing dots was much faster than reading raised print letters which could not be written by hand at all. The development of this system by young Louis Braille is now recognized as the most important single development in making it possible for the blind to get a good education. It took more than a century, however, before people would accept Braille as an excellent way for the blind to read and write. Even today many people underestimate the effectiveness of Braille. While tapes and records are enjoyable, Braille is essential for note taking and helpful for studying such things as math, spelling, and foreign languages. Experienced Braille readers, however, read Braille at speeds comparable to print readers--200 to 400 words a minute. Such Braille readers say that the only limitation of Braille is that there isn't enough material available. Braille consists of arrangements of dots which make up letters of the alphabet, numbers and punctuation marks. The basic Braille symbol is called the Braille cell and consists of six dots arranged in the formation of a rectangle, three dots high and two across. Other symbols consist of only some of these six dots.

  • My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod the Word
    XIV Passions: My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod The word passion has most often been associated with strong sexual desire or lust. I have felt a good deal of that kind of passion in my life but I prefer not to speak of it at this moment. Instead, it is the appetite for life in a broader sense that seems to have driven most of my actions. Moreover, the former craving is focused on an individual (unless the sexual drive is indiscriminant) and depends upon that individual for a response in order to intensify or even maintain. Fixating on my first husband—sticking to him no matter what his response, not being able to say goodbye to him —almost killed me. I had to shift the focus of my sexual passion to another and another and another in order to receive the spark that would rekindle and sustain me. That could have been dangerous; I was lucky. But with the urge to create, the intense passion to “make something,” there was always another outlet, another fulfillment just within reach. My children, teaching, and Nimrod, the journal I edited for so many years, eased my hunger, provided a way to participate and delight in something always changing and growing. from The passion to give birth to and grow with my children has, I believe, been expressed in previous chapters. I loved every aspect of having children conception, to the four births, three of which I watched in a carefully placed mirror at the foot of the hospital delivery room bed: May 6, 1957, birth of Leslie Ringold; November 8, 1959, birth of John Ringold; August 2, 1961: birth of Jim Ringold; July 27, 1964: birth of Suzanne Ringold (Harman).

It was our first board book and my first time reading to my first-born child. I hadn’t yet heard of books for infants with Braille in them so it was just a regular touch-and-feel type book I had picked up in the bookstore the day before. We got to the smooth dolphin skin and she started moving about excitedly, as if she had made a great discovery. She moved her face to the book to smell the surface she was touching. I just sat there and let her explore the book however she wanted. When I turned the page to the bumpy lizard skin, I thought she was going to fall off the chair with excitement.

  • Assistive Computing Technology for Learning to Write Braille Extended Abstract
    Undergrad Senior Thesis (2007- 2008) Student: Noura El-Moughny Advisor: Dr. M. Bernardine Dias Assistive Computing Technology for Learning to Write Braille Extended Abstract If they are to play a meaningful role in modern society, people who are visually impaired need to obtain information in an effective and timely manner. Accessing information requires the ability to read and write fluently. The Braille language provides a mechanism for the visually impaired to be fully literate participants in modern-day society. However, learning to write Braille is a non-trivial process that often takes long hours of tedious work. This research project enhances the Adaptive Braille Writing Tutor system, developed by TechBridgeWorld program [1] at Carnegie Mellon University. Specifically, we enhance the Adaptive Braille Writing Tutor software to write Arabic Braille and re-design the Tutor based on the core methodologies used in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) [2]. In addition to that, we are designing and implementing an educational computer game for learning to write Braille that involves the enhanced Adaptive Braille Writing Tutor system and a computer. Both outcomes of this research project are indirect use by children at Al-Noor Institute for the Blind in Qatar as well as for the visually impaired students in developing communities. Thus, this research project combines between the assistive technology, ITSs, and the educational games field. I organize the remainder of this report as follows. I describe the problem and the motivation of this research project. Then, I give an introduction to the Adaptive Braille Writing Tutor System developed by TechBridegeWorld program [1] at Carnegie Mellon University.

  • A Comparative Study of Modernism in the Poems of Forough Farrokhzad and Adunis
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 6, No. 7, pp. 1377-1382, July 2016 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/tpls.0607.07 A Comparative Study of Modernism in the Poems of Forough Farrokhzad and Adunis Ahmad Lamei Giv Department of Persian Language and Literature, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, University of Birjand, Birjand, Iran Majid Shahbazi Department of Persian Language and Literature, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, University of Birjand, Birjand, Iran Abstract—Clash of the West with East countries (Iran, Lebanon and Syria) was a factor in changing the structure of Eastern societies, resulting in the emergence of political and social developments like constitutional movements. There are undeniable similarities between Arabic and Persian poetry because of the long historical ties, similar political and social contexts, close cultural backgrounds and the influence of European culture on their literatures. After the literary revolution occurred under the influence of European culture and literature, attention to modernism is a common approach used by Persian and Arabic poets. In both Arabic and Persian literature, Modern poet expresses his surrounding issues according to the needs of the community. Attention to the culture of the West is a common point closing Forough Farrokhzad and Adunis as two contemporary poets. Due to the different cultural and intellectual situations as well as the degree of their familiarity with the West, they have differences and similarities in the methods and the effects of modernization in the West. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this article will show that Forough and Adunis have used modern manifestations such as secularism, feminism, nihilism, freedom, deconstruction, city and nationalism in their poems due to their relations with the West under the influence of cultural-political developments in their own societies.

    Journal of Arabic Language & Literature, Vol. 11, No.2 Serial Number. 21 5 Archive of SID An Inquiry into the “Compensation” Mechanism and its Processes in the Literature of Adunis and Shamlou Mehdi Nowdehi PhD Candidate in Arabic Language and Literature, Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzevar, Iran Abbas Ganjali2 Associate Professor in Arabic Language and Literature Hakim Sabzevari University,Sabzevar, Iran Seyyed Mahdi Nouri Keyzeghani Assistant Professor, in Arabic Language and Literature,Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzevar, Iran Received:6 May2017 Accepted:7 February2018 Extended abstract 1 Introduction Aside from style and imagination, literature constitutes two other important elements, i.e. thought and sense; the former relates to philosophy while the latter is relevant to psychology. It means that the nature of literature is philosophical and the gist of its influence is a psychological matter. Accordingly, psychological examination of literature is based on psychological theories, particularly that of Adler’s approach; and Adler deems the sense of humiliation as effective in the formation of arts and literature which is relatively overlooked by analysts and it is of substantial importance. To this aim, the present study has selected two well-known contemporary poets, Adunis and Shamlou, in order to explore common psychological themes in their poetry. 2 Review of Literature and Theoretical Framework Psychologists such as Adler, Jung, Freud, Eric Fromm, Lacan, etc. carried out psychological analyses on arts and literature. However, Adler’s psychological approach to both subjects has been more comprehensive by referring to the significance regarding the effect of “sense of flaw” in the formation of the literary works of a poet.
