  • Generalization of Suppression in Norma Khouri's "Forbidden Love"
    Advances in Language and Literary Studies ISSN: 2203-4714 Vol. 5 No. 6; December 2014 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Generalization of Suppression in Norma Khouri’s Forbidden Love Olya Mariam (corresponding author) Department of English Language and Literature, Punjab University, Pakistan 6B/I Education Town, Wahdat Road, Lahore, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] Sidra Rana Department of English Literature, Kinnaird University Model Town, Lahore, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.5n.6p.75 Received: 15/08/2014 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.5n.6p.75 Accepted: 02/10/2014 Abstract The aim of this research is to critique the repercussions of over-generalization of a social issue as depicted in Norma Khouri’s Forbidden Love. The novel/memoir has been written against the 9/11 backdrop and as such serves as means of sensationalizing and exploiting a cultural event which unfortunately echoes in the East. The objective of this research is to highlight the responsibility of the writer in raising or negating awareness. Investigative journalism such as Anna Broinowski and Malcolm Knox’s helps to highlight the repercussions of such canonship. Michel Foucault’s theory of Discourse Analysis and E Ann Kaplan’s Imperial Gaze have been employed to exploit the core text. The research proves that writers can fictionalize and fabricate events to sensationalize a social practice/ cultural dimension to over generalize and market a given perception. Thereby, helping to develop a condescending attitude amongst (Western) audience and reader. Keywords: sensationalism, post 9/11 Arab world, honor killing, memoir, imperial gaze This paper will focus on the way that culture, especially Eastern culture is being depicted by some diasporic Western writers such as Norma Khouri.

  • THE FUTURE of DEMOCRACY in LEBANON Riad Al-Khouri1
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 12 (Octubre / October 2006) ISSN 1696-2206 THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY IN LEBANON Riad al-Khouri 1 Abstract: Along with other developing states, various Arab countries are democratizing as they integrate into the global economy. However, the more liberal Lebanese system has paradoxically failed to keep pace. After the killing of former Prime Minister Hariri in 2005, and the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel war, sectarian tension again threatens stability and democracy in the country. With Lebanon’s Shiite plurality stronger, a new formula for the country’s democracy is needed. As a stopgap, confessional remedies could be taken to buttress democratization. In the longer term, however, other solutions are required, including municipal political development, which may help grass roots democracy to flourish. Keywords: Lebanon, decentralization, democratization, globalization, governance, municipal development. Resumen: Junto con otros países en desarrollo, varios países árabes se están democratizando al tiempo que se integran en la economía global. Sin embargo, el sistema libanés, más liberal, no ha conseguido paradójicamente continuar avanzando en esta dirección. Tras el asesinato del ex primer ministro Hariri en 2005, y la guerra de 2006 entre Hezbolá e Israel, la tensión interreligiosa amenaza una vez más la estabilidad y la democracia en este país. Con el reforzamiento de la pluralidad de los chiíes libaneses, se necesita una nueva formula para la democracia en el país. Como medida de emergencia, se pueden adoptar soluciones confesionales para fomentar la democratización. Sin embargo, a largo plazo serán necesarias otras soluciones, incluyendo el desarrollo político municipal, que puede ayudar a surgir la democracia desde la base.

Few scholars studied his work in recent years and highlighted some aspects of his Summa, which is considered the first systematic theology work in the history of Christianity. This paper will have three sections: the first section shall discuss the life and the educational background of John. The second section shall discuss and evaluate John’s theological methodology. The third section shall discuss his methodology in answering the Saracen. This paper aims to highlight John’s theological work and methodology, and evaluate his answers to the Islamic objections.

GARRETT DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington August, 2016 Supervising Committee: Kenyon Zimmer, Supervising Professor Sarah Rose Robert B. Fairbanks Copyright © by Bryan A. Garrett 2016 All Rights Reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS August 8, 2016 Though writing can be a lonely process, this dissertation represents a collaborative effort. There are many I would like to thank for their contribution to this work. I am grateful to my dissertation advisor, Kenyon Zimmer, who tirelessly scoured my work in its most disjointed state and provided fresh eyes when mine faltered. He has helped to make the dissertation worth writing, and despite my best efforts, hopefully easier to read. Students of all levels, but especially doctoral candidates at the University of Texas at Arlington, should count themselves fortunate to have Kenyon as their advocate and advisor. I would also like to thank the other members of the dissertation committee, Sarah Rose and Robert Fairbanks, for their advice in providing me new avenues for exploration and their suggestions for improving the document as a whole. I am indebted to Mustaq Ahmad and the Festival of Ideas Global Research Institute for providing the support necessary to undertake research at numerous archives on multiple continents. Any researcher knows the tremendous expense in time and money required for just one trip, but undertaking a number of them can only be done with the support of generous sponsors who share in the pursuit to understand and appreciate the past more fully.
