Britishness, Identity and Belonging in Education:Social Justice in Troubling Times
No full textThis book seeks to address the ways in which changing discourses of Britishness and British Values both impact upon young people in their education and are expressed by them growing up in multicultural Britain, a nation battling the consequences of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. The author considers the intersectional relationship between identity, citizenship and belonging, as well as the ways that politicisation of culture and faith affect young people’s sense of Britishness and belonging, particularly through policies such as the Prevent duty. It will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of race and education, social justice and diversity, equity and inclusion.</p
Écrire ‹ l’oral › dans Texaco de Patrick Chamoiseau
No full textAbstractIn this analysis, I investigate the coexistence of the oral and writing in Texaco of Patrick Chamoiseau. I try first to explain how Chamoiseau arrived to a certain synthesis between the two registers. Then I examine the objective of the author to develop such a synthesis between oral and writing in the universe of a text. In the case of Texaco, it is not only a matter of two ways of expression but also of two languages and two states of civilization. This expressive and linguistic lining does not depend only on the exile of many intellectuals and some other historical factors, but on a certain cultural alienation. Indeed, the Martinican identity oscillates between two spaces and hesitates between two languages. By this coexistence of the creole oral mode and the French writing, Chamoiseau tried to create a new style in the world of literary texts. On the other hand, this meeting of the different languages and registers creates a certain composition of elements that do not stand in a relation of opposition to each other, but of a tangle in order to communicate a world vision and to assert the original identity.</jats:p
الاستقبال الصحفي لخطاب ليلى بعلبكي الأدبي / Journalistic Reception of Layla Baʻalbakki\u27s Literary Discourse
No full text[This article explores the relationship between the literary field and journalistic reception that is governed by specific ideological trends. The complexity of this relationship turns the text into a social document liable to condemnation or praise. To illustrate this relationship, the article rereads the confiscation of the 1964 short story collection Safinat Hanan ila al-qamar (A Spaceship of Tenderness to the Moon) and its author Layla Baʻalbakki\u27s trial instigated by a brief condemnatory comment in the Egyptian magazine Sabah al-khayr. The article offers a discourse analysis of subsequent reviews with a focus on gender and the ramifications on the cultural milieu to reveal the play of power relations. تسعى هذه المقالة إلى سبر أغوار العلاقة بين النص الأدبي والاستقبال الصحفي المتأثر بسيادة تيارات إيديولوجية بعينها بما يشكل مركزاً يؤثر في كافة المجالات ، كما أنه يُخرج النص من مجاله الجمالي ويُحوله إلى وثيقة اجتماعية تستدعي الإدانة أو الإشادة . ولتحليل هذه العلاقة الشائكة وتبعاتها ، تقوم المقالة بإعادة قراءة وقائع محاكمة المجموعة القصصية سفينة حنان إلى القمر (١٩٦٤) للكاتبة اللبنانية ليلى ﺑﻌﻠﺒﻜﻲ ، وذلك بناء على إدانة صحفية ﻣﺑﺘﺴﺮﺓ صدرت في مجلة صباح الخير المصرية . تهدف المقالة إلى تحليل الخطاب الذي بُنيت عليه المراجعات المناهضة أو المؤيدة ، في الصحافة العربية والأجنبية ، مع النظر إلى الرؤية المتعلقة بالكتابة النسوية التي يطرحها هذا الخطاب ، وتأثير ذلك في ﺍﻟﻤﺠﺎﻝ الأدبي .

Gender identification for Egyptian Arabic dialect in twitter using deep learning models
No full textAlthough the number of Arabic language writers in social media is increasing, the research work targeting Author Profiling (AP) is at the initial development phase. This paper investigates Gender Identification (GI) (male or female) of authors posting Egyptian dialect tweets using Neural Networks (NN) models. Various architectures of NN are explored with extensive parameters’ selection such as simple Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long–Short Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory (C-Bi-LSTM) and Convolutional Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units (C-Bi-GRU) NN which is tuned for the GI problem at hand. The best acquired GI accuracy using C-Bi-GRU multichannel model is 91.37%. It is worth noting that the presence of the bidirectional layer as well as the convolutional layer in the NN models has significantly enhanced the GI accuracy
Gender identification of egyptian dialect in twitter
No full textDespite the widespread of social media among all age groups in Arabic countries, the research directed towards Author Profiling (AP) is still in its early stages. This paper provides an Egyptian Dialect Gender Annotated Dataset (EDGAD) obtained from Twitter as well as a proposed text classification solution for the Gender Identification (GI) problem. The dataset consists of 70,000 tweets per gender. In text classification, a Mixed Feature Vector (MFV) with different stylometric and Egyptian Arabic Dialect (EAD) language-specific features is proposed, in addition to N-Gram Feature Vector (NFV). Ensemble weighted average is applied to the Random Forest (RF) with MFV and Logistic Regression (LR) with NFV. The achieved gender identification accuracy is 87.6%. Keywords: Text classification, Egyptian Arabic, Gender identification, Author profiling, Gender annotated datase
A study of Tawfiq al-Hakim’s Equilibrium doctrine and philosophical narratives
No full textTawfiq al-Hakim is known across the Arab world as a pioneer dramatist. He is one of many misunderstood writers and philosophers. My aim is to introduce him to the English-speaking public in order to shed some light on a specific period known to be one of the best in Egypt intellectually and culturally. Former President Nasser’s ideologies, and those of former President Sadat such as his “open-door” policy to the West, have contributed positively to the forming of an intellectual renaissance in Egypt. This rich period in Egyptian history is one that can directly shed light on the literary and philosophical contributions of al-Hakim, and on the social and cultural issues that should be revisited in order to gain an understanding of the problems that face Egyptians today. With this said, it is my hope that by reviving al-Hakim’s philosophical doctrines and by examining the major issues he addresses in his texts, I will be able to explain and clarify some misconceptions about this author, his philosophy and his work. I would also like to show ways in which his distinctive doctrine of equilibrium can be of use to us both in the East and the West. The objectives, accordingly, are twofold: (1) To introduce and critically examine al-Hakim’s equilibrium doctrine; and, (2) To identify the philosophical traits and Western influences that had an impact on his character and philosophy. The core problem that this work will indirectly address is the problem of how philosophy in the Arab world, according to Sari Nusseibeh’s article “The Arab World: What role for philosophy?” has been blatantly used as a tool in order to defend one version or another of the religious beliefs of those who pursued it. I ask what specific role a philosopher or intellectual can play in his or her society and how his philosophy can be put to use. This question is one that has been long forgotten in the Arab world. Freeing the Arab world from the colonizer, back in the 1930s, was clearly a goal for many intellectuals. Today, freeing the Arab mind by introducing a philosophy or an ideology that can be of use to the Muslim world as well as to the West would be a great task to accomplish
Makdisi\u27s War Memoir: Fragments of Self and Place /ﻣﺬﻛﺮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺤﺮﺏ ﻋﻨﺪ ﻣﻘﺪﺳﻲ: ﺷﺬﺭﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺬﺍﺕ ﻭﺍﻟﻤﻜﺎﻥ
No full text[This article aims at analyzing the fissures of female discontinuity in Beirut Fragments (1990) through examining three aspects: the position of the female \u27I\u27 in relation to the narrative, which includes the form of the narrative, and thus, the author calls it \u27narrative and its discontents\u27; the centrality of the place (Beirut in this case) that works as a substitute for the fragmented \u27I\u27 and turns the book into a topography rather than autobiography; then the language as a vehicle of conveying the gaps and seals of the self. /تناقش هذه المقالة التصدع الذي يميز الذات الأنثوية في كتاب شذرات بيروت: مذكرات حرب (١٩٩۰) للكاتبة الفلسطينية جين سعيد مقدسي٠ وتقوم الباحثة ﺑﺘﺤﻠﻴﻞ عدة جوانب في هذا السياق٠ أولاﹰ: علاقة الأنا الأنثوية بالحكي، ﺛﺎﻧﻴﺎﹰ: مركزية المكان (أي بيروت) التي تعمل كبديل للذات المتشرذمة، وتحول الكتاب من سيرة ذاتية إلى سيرة مكانية، ﺛﺎﻟﺜﺎﹰ: اللغة ﻛﻮﺳﻴﻠﺔ تعبير عن الفجوات التي تصدع استمرارية الذات، وأخيراﹰ: عنصر الجنوسة أي ما يجعل هذا الكتاب متميزاﹰ على مستوى الوعي النسوي٠
