DENATURALIZING CULTURE: SAYED KASHUA'S NEWSPAPER COLUMNS ON THE TOPIC OF PREJUDICE
No full textAbstract Discrimination is a recurrent topic in the work of the Israeli-Arab writer Sayed Kashua. In the last couple of years, Sayed Kashua has moved away from writing about the prejudice expressed by his own Israeli Muslim community towards the Israeli Jewish population to focus his attention instead on the prejudice shown by Jews against Arabs in Israel. Self-criticism has always been a hallmark of Sayed Kashua's work so this shift indicates a significant change in the columnist's perception of his own society. Based on a survey of various issues relating to Israeli society, such as the law, the educational system and language, as well as a theoretical review of authors who observe a mutual alienation of Arabs and Jews in Israel, this article analyses several of Sayed Kashua's recent columns in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. It also investigates how the author understands prejudice and, in a singular and surprising way, expresses his concerns and solutions to this problem

Experiencing the armed struggle : the Soweto generation and after
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 354-369).This study explores the experiences of the rank-and-file soldiers of Umkhonto we Sizwe and the Azanian People's Liberation Anny. Extensive interviews by the author and other researchers reveal the voices of the soldiers themselves. The African National Congress and Pan African Congress archives at the University of the Western Cape and the University of Fort Hare supplement and verify these oral testimonies, as do some published sources. Most previously published materials about the armed struggle against apartheid have already focused on diplomacy, strategy and tactics, operations, leadership, and human rights abuses to the neglect of the soldiers' actual experiences. This study complements these with significant new oral history materials from the Soweto generation of soldiers and their successors. When dealing with MK, many authors have documented issues of the camp structure in Angola, and operations inside South Africa, so much of this detail is only addressed briefly, leaving space to explore the soldiers' experiences. In the case of APLA, very little has been written on its history, and more detail is provided on these subjects. This study therefore deals with the soldiers' politicisation and motivation for joining the armed struggle, their experiences in leaving South Africa and training in exile, the crises in exile which limited their effectiveness for a time, their return to fight in South Africa, and their difficulties in the "new" South Africa. These materials reveal that vast problems remain facing these veterans of the struggle against apartheid, and that they have the potential, if properly supported and employed, to contribute substantially to the development of present day South Africa. Conversely, if their neglect continues, they also have the potential to bring vast harm to the country. Further use of the investigative tools of oral history, especially if extended to the former soldiers' vernacular languages, is necessary to augment the history of South Africa, and these soldiers' contributions
Tão dúbio, tão coerente: forma e conteúdo nas crônicas jornalísticas de Sayed Kashua
No full textEste artigo consiste na análise de duas crônicas jornalísticas do escritor árabe-israelense Sayed Kashua publicadas no jornal israelense Haaretz. Estes textos são selecionados devido à sua riqueza de conteúdo e pelo uso de estratégias retóricas, tais como a autoironia e o sarcasmo, para expor os conflitos pelos quais passa o “eu do cronista” retratado pelo autor. Este estudo tem como base os Estudos Culturais e os Novos Paradigmas Literários, ferramentas que permitem o estudo das crônicas jornalísticas como textos literários. Nestas crônicas, de uma maneira despretensiosa, partindo de experiências subjetivas e de temas familiares, com autoironia e tom satírico, Kashua reporta as experiências de um árabe israelense que vive num embate em torno de suas duplas lealdades e ideologias conflitantes, refletindo uma negociação entre sua etnicidade e sua nacionalidade. A crônica, neste contexto, é considerada o local apropriado para a escrita de Kashua: a ambiguidade do gênero é similar à necessidade de quebras de dualidades na sociedade israelense para entendermos e convivermos com o “eu do cronista” de Sayed Kashua. So dubious, so coherent: form and content in Sayed Kashua´s journalistic chronicles - Abstract: This paper consists of the literary analysis oftwo journalistic chronicles written in Hebrew by the Muslim Arab Israeli author Sayed Kashua published in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. These texts are selected due to their richness of content and use of rhetorical strategies such as self-irony and sarcasm to expose the conflicts through which the “I of the chronicler” portrayed by the author goesthrough. This analysis will rely on theoretical assumptions of Cultural Studies and the “New literary paradigms”, tools that will enable us to study the journalistic chronicle as a literary text. In these chronicles, in a non-pretentious way, coming from the subjective experiences and family topics, with self-irony and in a satirical way, Kashua reports the experiences of an Israeli Arab who lives in a clash over his dual loyalty and conflicting ideologies, reflecting a negotiation between his ethnicity and his nationality. The chronicle, in this context, is considered the appropriate location for Kashua’s writings: the ambiguity of the literary genre is similar to the necessity of breaking dualities in Israeli society to understand and to be acquainted with the “I of the chronicler” of Sayed Kashua

Distributed chance-constrained model predictive control for condition-based maintenance planning for railway infrastructures
No full textWe develop a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach for condition-based maintenance planning under uncertainty for railway infrastructure systems composed of multiple components. Piecewise-affine models with uncertain parameters are used to capture both the nonlinearity and uncertainties in the deterioration process. To keep a balance between robustness and optimality, we formulate the MPC optimization problem as a chance-constrained problem, which ensures that the constraints, e.g., bounds on the degradation level, are satisfied with a given probabilistic guarantee. Two distributed algorithms, one based on Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and the other derived from a constraint-tightening technique, are proposed to improve the scalability of the MPC approach. Computational experiments show that the distributed method based on Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition performs the best in terms of computational time and convergence to global optimality. By comparing the chance-constrained MPC approaches with deterministic approach, and traditional time-based maintenance approach, we show that despite their high computational requirements, chance-constrained MPC approaches are cost-efficient and robust in the presence of uncertainties.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Team Bart De SchutterRailway EngineeringDelft Center for Systems and Contro
Culpa e sátira no divã: duas crônicas jornalisticas de Sayed Kashua
No full textNeste artigo, são analisadas duas crônicas jornalísticas do escritor árabe israelense Sayed Kashua publicadas no jornal Haaretz. Nelas, um embate entre uma sociedade radical e racista e a herança ética e moral dos idealizadores do Sionismo, segundo a qual os árabes receberiam direitos iguais aos da popula-ção judaica, encontram-se como pano de fundo de histórias tão satíricas quanto trágicas. O preconceito contra o árabe permeia as situações pelas quais passa o eu do cronista, mas cabe ao leitor decidir se ele é apenas uma possibilidade que poderia ser vivenciada, se ele de fato está presente nas relações do árabe na sociedade judaico israelense à sua volta ou se estas são alternativas que se complementam.In this paper, I analyze two journalistic chronicles written by the Israeli Arab author Sayed Kashua published in Israeli newspaper Haaretz. In these texts, a clash between a radical and racist society and the ethics and moral heritage of the creators of Zionism, according to which the Arabs would receive equal rights as the Jewish population, are the background of these stories which are as satirical as tragic. The prejudice against the Arab population permeates the situations in which “I of the chronicler” live, but it is up to the reader to decide if it is just a possibility that could be experienced, if they actually permeate the Arab relations in Israeli Jewish society or if these are alternatives that are complementary
Sayed Kashua’s Complaint against Philip Roth: Authorial Networking between East Jerusalem and Manhattan’s Upper West Side
No full textABSTRACT
This paper highlights what seems to the author an insufficiently examined way of relating one writer to another: a writer’s decision to textually align him- or herself with another author. Intertextuality is usually not thought of as connecting two people or two authors, but rather two texts. This paper does the former by looking at how Sayed Kashua, an Israeli Arab author and journalist, uses the image of Philip Roth in his newspaper columns. First, Kashua establishes Roth’s status as an author who was maligned by his community and presented an inspiration for Kashua, who has himself been accused of self-hatred. Second, Kashua presents Roth as a merciless satirist, especially of Jewish life, and thus presents himself as a much milder, forgiving writer. Third, Kashua stresses that Roth is Jewish but not Israeli, while Kashua is Israeli but not Jewish. Roth’s position is only partially familiar and related to the Jewish Israeli public. Kashua stresses this position to foreground the way he too, as an Israeli Arab, is only half-familiar to this same audience.</jats:p

G7 ülkelerinin ticari diplomasisi: ABD ve Japonya karşılaştırması
No full textDış Ticaret Enstitüsü, Uluslararası Ticaret Ana Bilim Dalı, Uluslararası Ticaret Bilim DalıBu çalışma, Amerika ve Japonya'nın ticari diplomasisini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu iki ülkeyi daha detaylı incelemek için öncelikle Amerika ve Japonya'nın ana üyeleri olduğu Yediler Grubu'nun ekonomileri incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma, bu gruptaki üye ülkelerin konumunu ve bunun dünya ekonomisine etkisini değerlendirdikten sonra, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ile Japonya arasındaki ekonomik ilişkilerin geleceğine dair bir perspektif sunmaktadır. Ayrıca G7 ülkelerinin ekonomik, siyasi, güvenlik ve teknolojik alanlarda yaratabileceği fırsatlara ve üyeler arasında anlaşmazlıklar, gelişmekte olan ekonomilerle iş birliği eksikliği gibi olası zorluklara da işaret edilmektedir. Aslında bu çalışmanın ana odağı Amerika ile Japonya arasındaki politik- ekonomik ilişkilerdir. Bu çalışma Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ile Japonya arasındaki ekonomik ilişkinin güçlü ve karşılıklı yarara dayalı olduğunu göstermektedir. İki ekonomi, mal ve hizmet ticareti yoluyla oldukça bütünleşmiştir; bunlar birbirlerinin ihracatı için büyük pazarlar ve önemli ithalat kaynaklarıdır. Daha da önemlisi, Japonya ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri sermaye akışı açısından birbirine yakındır, ayrıca Japonya, ABD ulusal borcunun ana dış finansman kaynağıdır ve öngörülebilir gelecekte de bu şekilde kalması muhtemeldir. Ancak ilişkileri, özellikle güvenlik ve siyasi alanlarda da zorluklarla karşı karşıya kaldı. Aynı zamanda iki ülke, ortak düşmanları olan Çin'den gelebilecek herhangi bir tehdidi en aza indirmek için birbirleriyle yakın iş birliği yapmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Yedili Grup, Ekonomik İlişkiler, Ticari Diplomasi, Amerika Ekonomisi, Japonya EkonomisiThe present study aims to compare the commercial diplomacy of America and Japan. To further examine these two countries, first of all, the economies of the Group of Seven countries, of which America and Japan are the main members, are examined. After evaluating the position of the member countries in this group and its impact on the world economy, the present study provides a perspective of the future of the economic relations between the United States and Japan. It also points to the opportunities that the G7 countries can create in the economic, political, security and technological fields and possible challenges such as disagreements between members and lack of cooperation with emerging economies. In fact, the main focus of this study is the political-economic relations between America and Japan. The present study shows that the economic relationship between the United States and Japan is strong and mutually beneficial. The two economies are highly integrated through trade in goods and services – they are large markets for each other's exports and important sources of imports. More importantly, Japan and the United States are close to each other through capital flows. In addition, Japan is the main source of foreign financing for the US national debt and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. But their relations have also faced challenges, especially in the security and political fields. At the same time, the two countries are working closely with each other to minimize any threat from their common enemy which is China.
