Black Comedy in the Narratives of Ibrahim Aslan
No full text يعرض هذا البحث في صفحاته لتقنية الكوميديا السوداء في سرد (إبراهيم أصلان)، حيث يعوّل عليها في نقد واقع مجتمعه، ويفصح بها عن المسكوت عنه من سلبيات وانحرافات سلوكية متفشية ببن أفراده وجماعاته؛ فاعتمد المقال في مادته على نتاج (أصلان) السردي في رواياته وقصصه وسيره الذاتية، منطلقا من مشكلته حول فلسفة(أصلان) في توجهه نحو تقنية الكوميديا السوداء في سرده، على أن هذه المشكلة أفرزت عدة تساؤلات، هي: ما الدوافع التي حدت بـ(أصلان) إلى الاعتماد على الكوميديا السوداء في سرده؟ وكيف وظفها؟ وما مدى نجاحها في التعبير عن المسكوت عنه في النص؟ وهل نجحت في استنفار وعي القارئ لنقد الواقع وتقويمه؟ ويهدف المقال بإجابة هذه التساؤلات إلى التعرف على فلسفة(أصلان) في توظيف الكوميديا السوداء في سرده، والوقوف على آلياتها وجدواها في كشف سلبيات الواقع ومعالجتها. وقد اتخذ من المنهج الوصفي- التحليلي منهجًا لعرض الظاهرة ودراستها واستخلاص نتائجها، فجاءت مادته في شقين: نظري؛ يستعرض ظلال الكوميديا السوداء في عالم(أصلان) السردي، وآخر تطبيقي؛ يناقش تجليات الكوميديا السوداء وآلية توظيفها ودلالتها في سردياته؛ ليخلص إلى عدة نتائج تمثلت في أن توظيفه لهذه التقنية هو مظهر من مظاهر نضجه كسارد استطاع أن يعبّر عن آلامه ورفضه لسلبيات مجتمعه وانحرافات أفراده في صورة فكاهية تحمل دلالات البنية المقصودة لذاتها، وبدت جدوى هذه التقنية ناجعة في كشف اللثام عن سلبيات الحارة المصرية وانتهاك أفرادها لعاداتها وتقاليدها الموروثة من ناحية، واستنفار وعي القارئ إلى نقدها وتقويمها من ناحية أخرى. This article examines, throughout its pages, the technique of black comedy in the narratives of Ibrahim Aslan, as he relies on this technique to critique the reality of his society, revealing the unspoken negative aspects and behavioral deviations prevalent among its individuals and groups. The article draws upon Aslan\u27s narrative output in his novels, short stories, and autobiographies, starting from the issue of Aslan\u27s philosophy in his approach to the technique of black comedy in his narrative.
This issue raises several questions: What motives led Aslan to rely on black comedy in his narrative? How did he employ it? To what extent was it effective in expressing the unspoken in the text? And has it succeeded in mobilizing the reader\u27s awareness to critique and adjust reality? By answering these questions, the article aims to identify Aslan\u27s philosophy in employing black comedy in his narrative, and to examine its mechanisms and effectiveness in revealing and addressing the negative aspects of reality. Adopting the descriptive-analytical method to present, study, and draw conclusions about the phenomenon, the article is divided into two sections: a theoretical section that reviews the Implications of black comedy in Aslan\u27s narrative world, and an applied section that discusses the manifestations of black comedy, its mechanism of employment, and its significance in his narratives. The article concludes with several findings, namely that Aslan\u27s use of this technique is a manifestation of his maturity as a narrator who was able to express his pains and rejection of the negative aspects of his society and the deviations of its individuals in a humorous form that carries intentional structural significance. The effectiveness of this technique has also proven successful in lifting the veil on the negative aspects of the Egyptian neighborhood and the transgressions against inherited customs and traditions by its members on the one hand, and in mobilizing the reader\u27s awareness to critique and adjust them on the other

The Wrath of God: Reza Aslan on Faith, Islam and the Media
No full textApart from being an exceptionally intelligent writer, religious scholar Reza Aslan is quickly gaining a reputation for being one of the most patient men on television.More than once, he has painstakingly explained to TV hosts that their less-than-sophisticated stands on Islam may be founded on flimsy and dangerous assumptions. He gained international recognition for his Fox News interview that went viral, and more recently, Aslan’s nuanced response to Bill Maher’s rant.Aslan returned to Vancouver to unpack the arguments around religion and violence. Touching on a range of topics from identity to ISIS, Aslan argued that no religion exists in a vacuum. Every faith is rooted in the soil in which it is planted.“Using two or three examples to justify a generalization. That’s actually the definition of bigotry.” – Reza Aslan (response to Bill Maher)Reza Aslan, an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions, is author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth. He is the founder of AslanMedia, a social media network for news and entertainment about the Middle East and the world, and co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of BoomGen Studios, the premier entertainment brand for creative content from and about the Greater Middle East.

Statistical predictors of psychosocial impairment in body-focused repetitive behaviors
No full textObjective: skin picking disorder and trichotillomania, also characterized as body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), often lead to functional impairment. Some people with BFRBs, however, report little if any psychosocial dysfunction. There has been limited research as to which clinical aspects of BFRBs are associated with varying degrees of functional impairment.Methods: adults (n=98), ages 18-65 with a current diagnosis of trichotillomania (n=37), skin picking disorder (n=32), trichotillomania plus skin picking disorder (n=10), and controls (n=19) were enrolled. Partial least squares regression (PLS) was used to identify variables associated with impairment on the Sheehan Disability Scale. Results: PLS identified an optimal model accounting for 45.8% of variation in disability. Disability was significantly related to (in order of descending coefficient size): severity of picking, perceived stress, comorbid disorders (specifically, anxiety disorders / obsessive-compulsive disorder), trait impulsivity, family history of alcohol use disorder, atypical pulling/picking sites, and older age. Conclusions: at present mental disorders are viewed as unitary entities; however, the extent of impairment varies markedly across patients with BFRBs. These data suggest that whereas symptom nature/severity is important in determining impairment, so too are other variables commonly unmeasured in clinical practice. Outcomes for patients may thus be maximized by rigorously addressing comorbid disorders; as well as integrating components designed to enhance top-down control and stress management. Interestingly, focused picking and emotional pulling were linked to worse disability, hinting at some differences between the two types of BFRBs, in terms of determinants of impairment. <br/
Ruminations and their correlates in depressive episodes: Between-group comparison in patients with unipolar or bipolar depression and healthy controls
No full textBackground: Rumination is an important feature of affective disorders. Relationships between rumination, cognitive function, emotion regulation, and psychological resilience have been examined in unipolar depression; but few studies have determined whether unipolar and bipolar depressive episodes are distinguishable in terms of these variables. This study examined rumination in relation to clinical and cognitive variables in patients with unipolar depression or bipolar depression, and healthy controls. Methods: In total, 150 participants (50 bipolar, 50 unipolar, 50 controls) were included. Assessments comprised the Ruminative Response Scale-Short Form, Positive Beliefs about Rumination Scale, Negative Beliefs about Rumination Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Stroop Test, and Trail Making Test A and B. Results: The unipolar group had significantly higher scores in ruminative response and performed better in a neuropsychological test (Trail Making Test Part A) than the bipolar group. When duration of illness was controlled, no significant difference was found between depression groups in terms of rumination. There was a negative relationship between rumination and emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal subscale), and rumination and psychological resilience in both patient groups, but no significant relationship was found in healthy controls. Limitations: Relatively small sample size: future studies in larger clinical samples would increase knowledge of rumination in both unipolar and bipolar depression. Conclusions: Patients experiencing unipolar or bipolar depressive episodes are potentially distinguishable in terms of ruminative response levels and cognitive functions. This differentiation may help in developing targeted interventions for unipolar and bipolar depression.</p

A familial subtype of gambling disorder
No full textBackground: although family history of psychiatric disorders has often been considered potentially useful in understanding clinical presentations in patients, it is less clear what a positive gambling family history means for people with gambling disorder. We sought to understand the clinical impact of having a first-degree relative with gambling disorder in a sample of adults with gambling disorder. Methods: data from 455 participants (aged 18-65 years) who had participated in previous pharmacological and psychotherapeutic clinical trials for gambling disorder were pooled in a secondary analysis. Demographic and clinical variables were compared between those who did versus did not have one or more first-degree relative(s) with gambling disorder. Additionally, we examined whether a family history of gambling disorder was associated with treatment outcome. Results: 223 (49.0%) participants had at least one first-degree family member(s) with gambling disorder. In terms of clinical variables, family history of gambling disorder was significantly associated with being female, having an earlier age of gambling onset, longer duration of untreated gambling illness, a greater likelihood of developing legal problems secondary to gambling, and higher rates of alcohol use disorder in family members. Family history of gambling disorder was also associated with a greater gambling symptom improvement from pharmacotherapy. Conclusions: these results indicate that gamblers with a first-degree family member with a gambling disorder may have a unique clinical presentation and better response to treatment interventions
