The Clarion of Syria
Full text linkWhen “The Clarion of Syria” was penned, between September 1860 and April 1861, its anonymous author—identified only as “a patriot”—had just witnessed his homeland undergo unprecedented violence in what many today consider Lebanon’s first civil war. Butrus al-Bustani, the author, wrote a series of pamphlets to his fellow Syrians that became a key text of the nineteenth-century literary revival movement known as the Nahda. They addressed an array of universally resonant and locally relevant themes that render the pamphlets pertinent beyond their immediate context. With a style oscillating between Paulinian sermon and Socratic dialogue, the author ponders the meaning of civil war in relation to religion, politics, morality, society, and civilization. Above all, the text was an anti-sectarian clarion call to build a cohesive and “civilized” Syrian society in place of what the author considered a community gripped by the most pernicious of conflicts, violent fanaticism and factionalism. Rereading the pamphlets in the context of today’s political violence in war-torn Syria and elsewhere in the Arab world helps us gain a critical and historical perspective on (anti-)sectarianism, conflict resolution, Western interventionism, and national reconciliation. This translation thereby makes an important historical document accessible for the first time to an English audience
The Clarion of Syria
Full text linkWhen Nafir Suriyya—“The Clarion of Syria”—was penned between September 1860 and April 1861, its author Butrus al-Bustani, a major figure in the modern Arabic Renaissance, had witnessed his homeland undergo unprecedented violence in what many today consider Lebanon’s first civil war. Written during Ottoman and European investigations into the causes and culprits of the atrocities, The Clarion of Syria is both a commentary on the politics of state intervention and social upheaval and a set of visions for the future of Syrian society in the wake of conflict. This translation makes a key historical document accessible for the first time to an English audience. Rereading this work in the context of today’s political violence in war-torn Syria and elsewhere in the Arab world helps us gain a critical and historical perspective on sectarianism, class rebellion, foreign invasions, conflict resolution, Western interventionism, and nationalist tropes of reconciliation.

A metodologia pianística de Linda Bustani
Full text linkDissertação apresentada à Escola Superior de Artes Aplicadas do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ensino de Música – Instrumento e Música de Conjunto.Neste trabalho investigou-se a relevância da metodologia pianística de Linda Bustani (1951- ). Os objetivos do estudo foram: (i) descrever a metodologia pianística de Linda Bustani, a partir do pensamento e guia pontual apresentado no livro de Campos (2017); e (ii) verificar que aspetos desta metodologia foram/são postos em prática, no caso de um grupo de professores de piano residentes em Portugal. Para isso, focou-se (i) na formação pianística que obtiveram os professores respondentes; e (ii) no ensino que estes professores ministram. Foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário, com quinze itens, a quarenta e dois professores de piano. Os cinco primeiros itens do questionário obtiveram a caracterização dos respondentes. Três itens do questionário incidiram sobre a presença de elementos semelhantes aos da metodologia da Linda Bustani na formação pianística destes e sete itens disseram respeito à utilização de elementos semelhantes aos da metodologia de Linda Bustani no ensino protagonizado por estes.
A partir do Relatório de Estágio, o trabalho apresenta, na primeira parte, a caracterização da cidade da Covilhã, da instituição EPABI, e das aulas práticas de piano individual e em grupo dadas aos alunos do 1º ao 5º grau (que se encontram na faixa etária dos doze aos dezesseis anos de idade). Na segunda parte, apresenta-se a biografia de Linda Bustani, a descrição de sua metodologia pianística, a análise e a discussão dos resultados obtidos pelo questionário e as conclusões e considerações finais. Este trabalho permitiu-nos constatar a existência de elementos da metodologia de Linda Bustani na formação anterior dos respondentes, e no ensino por eles levado a cabo.Abstract :
In this work, the relevance of Linda Bustani's (1951- ) pianistic methodology was investigated. The objectives of the study were: (i) to describe Linda Bustani's pianistic methodology, based on the thought and specific guide presented in Campos' book (2017); and (ii) verify which aspects of this methodology were/are put into practice, in the case of a group of piano teachers residing in Portugal. For this, it focused on (i) the piano training obtained by the responding teachers; and (ii) in the teaching that these professors provide. A questionnaire survey, with fifteen items, was applied to forty-two piano teachers. The first five items of the questionnaire obtained the characterization of the respondents. Three items of the questionnaire focused on the presence of elements similar to those of Linda Bustani's methodology in their piano training and seven items concerned the use of elements similar to those of Linda Bustani's methodology in their teaching.
Starting from the Internship Report, the work presents, in the first part, the characterization of the city of Covilhã, of the institution EPABI, and of practical individual and group piano lessons given to students from 1st to 5th grade (who are in the range ages twelve to sixteen). In the second part, the biography of Linda Bustani is presented, the description of her piano methodology, the analysis and discussion of the results obtained by the questionnaire and the conclusions and final considerations. This work allowed us to verify the existence of elements of Linda Bustani's methodology in the previous training of the respondents, and in the teaching carried out by them
