No full textIn Legal Memories and Amnesias in America's Rhetorical Culture, Marouf Hasian, Jr. critically examines the rhetoric of law--specifically, the shifting lines between the notions of liberty and license. Hasian, Jr. explores how such issues as immigration, labor, national identity, race, and genetics have caused society to change how it thinks about, and uses, laws. In Legal Memories and Amnesias in America's Rhetorical Culture, Marouf Hasian, Jr. critically examines the rhetoric of law--specifically, the shifting lines between the notions of liberty and license. Hasian, Jr. explores how issues such as immigration, labor, national identity, race, and genetics have caused society to change how it thinks about, and uses, laws. The author builds on critical race theory, feminist studies of the law, and critical legal studies, and he uses a case study framework that covers topics such as Sarah Roberts and the separate but equal doctrine, John Brown's enactment of natural law at Harper's Ferry, Typhoid Mary Mallon, the Holocaust, Susan Smith, the human genome project, and Rosewood. All of the aforementioned are tied together by an introduction that clearly delineates the basic theoretical stance of the book. Without a doubt, the subject of this book is provocative, timely, and timeless

Debates on Colonial Genocide in the 21st Century /
No full textThis book analyses the debates on colonial genocide in the 21st century and introduces cases where states are reluctant to acknowledge genocides. The author departs from traditional studies of the work of Raphael Lemkin or U.N. definitions of genocide so that readers can examine genocide recognition as a political act that is bound up in partial perceptions and political motivations. The study looks at the Tasmanian genocide, Al-Nakba, and several other tragic events. It also looks at the ways that these historical and contemporary debates about colonial genocides are related to today's conversations about apologies and other restorative justice acts. This work will be of interest to a wide range of audiences including researchers, scholars, graduate students, and policy makers in the fields of political history, genocide studies, and political science. Marouf Hasian, Jr. is Professor of Communication at the University of Utah, USA
Marouf Al-Arnaout and His Historical Novels (Technical and Thematic Review)
No full textBirinci Dünya Savaşı’na kadar Lübnan ile pek çok ortak kültür mirasından
yararlanmış olan Suriye, XIX. yüzyılda edebiyata karşı canlı bir ilginin başladığı
Arap ülkelerinden biri olmuştur. Özellikle savaştan sonraki Fransız manda yönetimi
altında yazarlar ve yayıncılar için Fransa başta olmak üzere batı ülkelerinde okumuş
bir aydın seçkinler grubu sözkonusu olsa da edebiyat alanında milli duygular taşıyan
hareketler Suriye’de azımsanmayacak derecede çoktur. Bu dönemde şiir, hikâye,
roman ve tiyatro gibi edebi türlerde bağımsızlık ruhu içeren pek çok eser ortaya
çıkmıştır.
Maʿrûf el-Arnâ’ûṭ modern Suriye edebiyatında tarihî roman alanında eserler
kaleme almış olan en önemli yazarlardandır. Yazar bu türde Seyyidu Ḳureyş, Ömer b.
el-Ḫaṭṭâb, Ṭârıḳ b. Ziyâd ve Fâṭımetu’l-Betûl isimleriyle dört adet eser telif etmiştir.
İslam tarihini anlatmak üzere kaleme aldığı romanlarıyla özgürlük adına Müslüman
Arapların nasıl bir tavır içerisinde olması gerektiği konusunda okurlarına fikir
vermeyi amaçlamıştır. Bundan dolayı romanlarında vatan sevgisi, fedakârlık, cesaret,
bağımsızlık, kahramanlık, ümit gibi temalar üzerinde durmuştur. Ayrıca teknik
açıdan değerlendirildiğinde romanlarının son derece değerli eserler olduğu
görülmektedir.Syria, which benefited from many common cultural heritage with Lebanon
until the First World War, has been one of the Arab countries where a lively interest
in literature began in the 19th century. Especially under the French mandate after the
war, there was a group of intellectuals who studied in western countries, especially in
France, for writers and publishers, but movements with national feelings in the field
of literature are not to be underestimated in Syria. During this period, many works
containing the spirit of independence emerged in literary genres such as poetry,
stories, novels and theatre.
Marouf al-Arnaout is one of the most important writers who wrote works in the
field of historical novels in modern Syrian literature. In this genre, the author wrote
four works under the names Sayyidu Quraysh, ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭab, Ṭariq b. Ziyad
and Faṭimatu'l-Batul. With his novels that he wrote to tell the history of Islam, he
aimed to give an idea to his readers about the attitude of Muslim Arabs in the name
of freedom. Therefore, in his novels, he focused on themes such as patriotism, self sacrifice, courage, independence, heroism and hope. In addition, when evaluated
from a technical point of view, it is seen that his novels are extremely valuable

The Diseased "Terror Tunnels" of Gaza: Israeli Surveillance and the Autoimmunization of an Illiberal Democracy
No full textThis essay provides an ideological critique of the media tropes that have been used by Israeli militarists, politicians, diplomats, and members of the public to characterize Gazan “terror tunnels” as existential threats. The author extends the work of Butler, Derrida, Esposito, and other scholars to illustrate the ways that autoimmunizing rhetorics are used to render precarious the lives of Israelis while erasing the non-combat status of Gazan civilians who are accused of aiding and abetting those who build smuggling tunnels. This focus on the alleged existential danger of the tunnels is used to ward off international criticism of those who accused the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of violating the international humanitarian law principles of distinction, proportionality, necessity, and humanity.This essay provides an ideological critique of the media tropes that have been used by Israeli militarists, politicians, diplomats, and members of the public to characterize Gazan “terror tunnels” as existential threats.

The Emerging Importance of Social Visibility in Defining a Particular Social Group and Its Potential Impact on Asylum Claims Related to Sexual Orientation and Gender
Get PDFAn emerging issue in U.S. asylum claims based on membership in a particular social group is the relevance of social visibility in determining whether such a group exists. Of the five protected grounds for asylum, membership in a particular social group has always generated the most debate. In 2002, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) issued guidelines that present the protected characteristic and social perception approaches as alternative ways of establishing a particular social group, instructing States Parties to the 1951 Refugee Convention (the Convention ) to determine first if there is a protected characteristic and, only if no such characteristic exists, to determine whether the group is recognized by society.
The author argues that adjudicators should reject the social visibility approach because it destroys Acosta\u27s principled framework, represents an abdication of U.S. obligations under the 1967 Protocol, cannot be applied in a consistent way, and ignores the complex relationship between visibility and power
President Trump and General Pershing [electronic resource] : Remembrances of the “Moro” Insurrection in the Age of Post-Truths /
No full textThis book provides a critical analysis of Donald Trump’s mention of General Pershing and his alleged use of bullets dipped in pig’s blood to kill 49 out of 50 captured Muslims during the suppression years in the Philippines. The author argues that most observers who heard this “fable” dismissed it as an inaccurate representation of historical realities that also maligned a great general. Using critiques of both Trump and “post-truths,” the author argues that instead of being summarily dismissive of these comments, academics, investigative journalists and others ought to follow the US president’s admonition that we study “history,” but do so in nuanced ways. The author argues that there are times when false renditions of historical events may in fact provide opportunities to revisit contentious pasts, and this book suggests that in place of sanitized military histories, we take this opportunity to provide detailed analyses of the “Moro” rebellion.1.

The use of probiotics in animal feeding for safe production and as potential alternatives to antibiotics
No full textAlthough the production of safe food for human consumption is the primary purpose for animal rearing, the environment and well-being of the animals must also be taken into consideration. Based on microbiological point of view, the production of healthy food from animals involves considering foodborne pathogens, on the one hand and on the other hand, the methods used to fight against germs during breeding. The conventional method to control or prevent bacterial infections in farming is the use antibiotics. However, the banning of these compounds as growth promoters caused many changes in animal breeding and their use has since been limited to the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. In this function, their importance no longer needs to be demonstrated, but unfortunately, their excessive and abusive use have led to a double problem which can have harmful consequences on consumer health: Resistance to antibiotics and the presence of antibiotic residues in food. The use of probiotics appears to be a suitable alternative to overcome these problems because of their ability to modulate the immune system and intestinal microflora, and further considering their antagonistic role against certain pathogenic bacteria and their ability to play the role of growth factor (sometimes associated with prebiotics) when used as feed additives. This review aims to highlight some of the negative effects of the use of antibiotics in animal rearing as well as emphasize the current knowledge on the use of probiotics as a feed additive, their influence on animal production and their potential utility as an alternative to conventional antibiotics, particularly in poultry, pig, and fish farming. © Arsène, et al.
