“I Will Stay with Him through Thick and Thin”: Factors Influencing the Incidence and Persistence of Intimate Partner Violence against Syrian Refugee Women in Jordan
No full textThe Camus investigation : intrasemiotic references in the Polish translation of "Meursault, contre-enquête" by Kamel Daoud
No full textArtykuł poświęcony jest intertekstualnym i intrasemiotycznym odwołaniom w polskim przekładzie Meursault, contre-enquête algierskiego pisarza i dziennikarza Kamela Daouda. Zaprezentowane związki między powieścią Daouda a Obcym i Upadkiem Alberta Camusa wskazują na skomplikowany splot francuskiej i algierskiej kultury w postkolonialnej rzeczywistości. Ów splot, związany z nieodłączną obecnością intertekstualności we francuskojęzycznej literaturze Maghrebu, nie jest w żadnym stopniu neutralny z punktu widzenia przekładu i powinien być brany pod uwagę przez tłumaczy i odbiorców tej literatury.The article deals with intertextual and intrasemiotic references in the Polish translation of Meursault, contre-enquête by Algerian novelist and journalist Kamel Daoud. Depicted connections between Daoud’s novel and Albert Camus’ The Stanger and The Fall demonstrate complicate interlace of French and Algerian culture in the postcolonial context. Such interlace, connected with an inherent presence of intertextuality in the francophone literature of the Maghreb, is not to any extent neutral from the point of view of translation and should be taken into consideration by translators and readers of this literature

A Literary Dialogue Between Kamel Daoud and Albert Camus: Colonial and Postcolonial Representations of the Other
No full textHow do we respond to the experience of encountering the Other, particularly in the context of colonial and postcolonial worlds? Do we see the Other, oppress the Other or care for the Other? In this dissertation I examine the nuanced exploration of responding to the presence of the Other in the remarkable literary dialogue that the contemporary Algerian author Kamel Daoud (1970-) has opened with the canonical French author, Albert Camus (1913-1960). I shall do so by focusing on Camus’s L’Étranger (1942) and La Chute (1956), alongside Daoud’s Meursault, contre-enquête (2013). In examining this literary ‘conversation’, the dissertation seeks to unveil new approaches in dealing with the Other and construct a connection between colonial and postcolonial narratives.
Albert Camus, an important figure in French literature, who was born in Algeria, explored the complexities of human relationship to the universe and others through his philosophical and literary writings. His narrative style and philosophical foundations contribute significantly to the broader exploration of the concept of the Other. In his famous novel L’Étranger, he deals with this theme within the backdrop of colonial Algeria. In contrast Daoud’s Meursault, contre-enquête is often categorized as a response to Camus’s colonial narrative in L’Étranger. It is argued that Daoud’s objective is to recover the identity of the colonized Other who is suppressed in Camus’s novel. While I argue that a close examination of this literary ‘conversation’ reveals that Daoud introduces a unique perspective within the framework of Camus’s literary works. His narrative not only engages with Camus’s text but also transcends the simplistic dichotomy between colonizer and colonized.
Consequently, this study concludes by asserting that the binary division between the colonizer and the colonized is insufficient to understand the place of the Other in Camus’s works and in a postcolonial setting like contemporary Algeria. My argument is that both Camus and Daoud transcend the binary definition of self and Other inherent in the postcolonial/colonial paradigm, offering a more profound and nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding the lived experience of the Other
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Famine falsehoods and publication ethics: rejoinder to Daoud and the Journal of International Development
No full textMy paper, ‘Falsehoods and Myths in Famine Research – The Bengal Famine and Daoud’ (2022a), refuted Daoud’s paper, ‘Synthesizing the Malthusian and Senian approaches on scarcity: a realist account’ (2018) which presented an empirical model of the Bengal famine of 1943 using his theory. I showed at length that most of his key factual statements were falsehoods, and most of these were contradicted by evidence in his sources. His analysis was wrong. In this rejoinder I show that his Response in the Journal of International Development has not attempted to challenge my criticisms. Instead, he wrote on a subject not relevant to them, diverting attention from them. He has also produced new falsehoods. There are multiple breaches of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines by the author and by the Journal. It is surprising that the Journal, knowing this, should have published this paper
EFL/ESP teacher development and classroom innovation through teacher-initiated action research
No full textThis study is an investigation of the potential of teacher-initiated action research for
EFL/ESP teacher development and classroom innovation. The Collaborative Academic
Writing Research Project (CAWRP), on which it is based, was carried out at the ESP
Centre, Damascus University, in 1996-1997. It was in two phases, Baseline and
Main. The researcher, a teacher in the context, assumed a participatory and facilitating
role. The pedagogic problem was the teaching of research paper writing to
postgraduate students. The CAWRP was proposed to ease this problem and introduce
classroom innovation through teacher-initiated action research, the long-term aim of
which was continuous professional development. The baseline research aimed at
articulating a picture of teacher and context needs and assessing project viability. The
proposal was refined in the light of the findings, and a programme of teacher
development activities was agreed with the participants. This was implemented in the
Main Phase, which had three stages: Orientation, Research and Reporting, and
Summative Evaluation and Follow-up. The role of the researcher was to facilitate the
teachers to self-direct their professional learning and introduce needed pedagogic
innovations.
The thesis is in eight chapters and 32 appendices. Chapter One sets the scene
and introduces the study. Chapter Two focuses on the baseline investigation: its
methodology, findings, and their implications for the Main Phase study. Chapter Three
is a review of the relevant literature in the fields of teacher development and classroom
innovation. Chapter Four focuses on project design and methodology and gives more
details on the principles, values, strategies, and procedures that guided project
implementation and how they worked out in action. Chapter Five reports the findings,
focusing on the contribution of the Orientation Stage activities to the development of
the teacher group as a whole (a total of 20 out of 23 Centre teachers). Its main sources
of data are recordings, feedback questionnaires, and participant observation. Chapter
Six focuses on the teachers who carried out action research and reported on it (8 out
of the 20 Orientation Stage participants). It presents two case studies of frill
participants, starting with their entry points and showing how they developed in the
Research and Reporting Stage. One case exemplifies the experienced teachers and
those who did research individually, and the other the novices and those who worked in
collaboration. Chapter Seven reports on the participants' sununative evaluation of the
project and the effect of this evaluation on project continuity. Chapter Eight
summarises the main findings and evaluates them with reference to the literature, on
the one hand, and design principles and methodology, on the other. In this chapter, I
have looked critically at the lessons learnt from the study, discussed its significance and
limitations, and put forward some recommendations. The appendices include some of
the materials and documentary evidence used in the research
