Abstract:
Access to written culture, which began to be widespread among Sephardic women in the former Ottoman Empire at the end of the nineteenth century, opens a new perspective in gender studies of the Jewish minority in Muslim societies. Writing constitutes one of the main vehicles through which individuals appropriate their own identity and culture. In this sense, female Eastern Sephardic writers represent a fascinating example of how a cultural minority elaborates its consciousness and the awareness of its past. This article deals with this specific issue: the way that both the first Sephardic female writers and those who followed were able to elaborate a new identity through the act of writing and the awareness of its multiple possibilities. The first Sephardic female writers (Reina Hakohén, Rosa Gabay and Laura Papo) show us their contradictions: the identification with the traditional roles of women, the continuous justifications of their work as writers, the redefinition of what means to be a female writer in the context of Eastern Sephardic societies.

Abstract:
The topography of literary production and consumption has been transformed as writers and texts travel, ethnic literature is taught and translated in multiple national venues, and writers’ locations, audiences, and subject matter resist ready alignment. he growing internationalization of ethnic literary production has produced a heterogeneous range of texts, which challenge the established boundaries of ethnic and world literature. Because they focus on minorities, these texts have been slow to win recognition as world literature even though they depict transnational movements and identifications that diverge from those in canonical ethnic narratives. I develop the analytic of minority cosmopolitanism to examine the ways in which these literary narratives of worlding contest contemporary economic and political processes of globalization and Eurocentric accounts of globality. This essay considers how the gendered figure of the diasporic citizen serves as a vehicle for minority cosmopolitanism in Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies (1999).

Abstract:
This essay demonstrates how non-Malay language writers in Malaysia attempt to subvert the state’s promotion of a single-language (Malay) literature as national literature through the practice of authorial insularity, which is writing within one’s religio-ethnic community. In the case of sinophone literature, this practice has the added significance of refusing submission to a literary heritage (Chinese) that is fundamentally foreign to its cultural identity. The works of Malaysian anglophone writers such as Salleh ben Joned, Che Husna Azhari and K.S. Maniam, as well as Malaysian-born sinophone writer, Ng Kim Chew, will be discussed to illustrate my overarching point.

Abstract:
In this study, I analyse the interconnections between language and identity in the literatures written in minority languages in Fennoscandia (Meänkieli, Saami and Kven). I concentrate on authors who write in their native languages (as well), and who can move between minority and majority language both as ordinary people and as writers. These literatures are small bodies, because there is a small number of people who can still read and write these languages. Minority literatures often deal with the relationship between minority and majority (dominant) cultures describing them by means of power relations. In the minority literatures I am going to deal with past, reconstructed on the horizon of the present, vizualised in a narrative frame, represeting an integral part of the minority writers’ great narratives, whose aim is to write their own minority histories, as opposed to the official ones. When examining the works of Fennoscandian minority writers, we can notice many a time that they build their own life-stories into the past recalled for the sake of community. In my study, I analyse some important elements of the writers’ narrative-building. I will be looking for answers for the following questions: What kind of power relations determine the life of the given minorities? How do they relate to different borders in their everyday life? How firm the virtual borders created by minority and majority populations are and what kind of consequences crossing borders has. As the theoretical basis of the lecture is concerned, I analyise the topic from the perspective of microhistorical research and the psychological study of identity and stigma.

Abstract:
The article focuses on the writing of novels in the 20th and 21st centuries that relate to the Slovenian minority in Carinthia, and at the same time highlights the development, main thematic lines and linguistic characteristics of the minority‘s novelistic production itself. Already in the years following the 1920 plebiscite in Carinthia, the themes of war, borders, linguistic and other conflicts predominanted. After the Second World War, the focus shifted to assimilation politics, National Socialism, the oppression of the Slovene language and the Slovene minority, the Partisan movement and the consequences of this period. These themes were first written about mainly by authors from Slovenia, then by minority writers, and in recent years also by other authors writing in German. While the middle and older generation of Slovene authors in Carinthia continues to write about the war, minority and linguistic issues, most of the younger generation deals with other topics and often chooses to write in German.

Abstract:
Abstract This article considers the spatial politics of nation-building in two novels by ethnic minority women writers from Malaysia and Singapore. Preeta Samarasan’s Evening Is the Whole Day depicts the claustrophobic Rajasekharan household, showing how the perversion of the patriarchal heteronormative family is linked to the restrictive ethno-nationalism of a new Malaysian nation and its betrayal of its ethnic minority subjects. In Balli Kaur Jaswal’s Inheritance, ethnic minority subjects have a place in the fast-developing new nation of Singapore because of its official multiracialism but only if they are quiescent, conform to sexual norms, and are not hampered by disability. Both writers question the historical building of national norms, arguing for a remapping of the nation’s spaces in the name of more equitable and inclusive futures.

Abstract:
Partindo do conceito de "literatura menor" de Deleuze e Guattari, este trabalho procura mostrar como a literatura e a crítica são encaradas por autores pertencentes ao Terceiro Mundo e a grupos minoritários dentro dos grandes centros. Ao comparar as opiniões do martiniquense Edouard Glissant e do crítico negro americano Henry Louis Gates Jr. com as idéias de autores brasileiros contemporâneos, podemos perceber como, embora originários de culturas diversas, estes autores se aproximam em seus pontos de vista, principalmente na defesa do direito à diferença. Writers and critics of the Third World and of minority groups in developed countries, despite representing different cultures, share similar points of view, especially the affirmation of the right to one's difference. In the light of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of "minor literature", this paper endeavors to present the ideas of the Martiniquan writer Edouard and of the Negro critic Henry Louis Gates, Jr., as well as to compare them to the opinions of some contemporary Brazilian writers and critics.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the works of two Black female writers: Flora Nwapa(African and Nigerian) and Zora Neale Hurston (African American). Although theycome from different geographical regions, both writers use the same rchetypal patterns to create strong female protagonists. By characterizing protagonists in their novels from an African religious cultural perspective, both authors dismantle the stereotypical images of how black women are typically portrayed in fiction. Using Jung's theory of the collective unconscious and archetypal criticism the study finds that both authors create black female protagonists who are wise, resilient, decisive, courageous, independent, and risk-taking; the women who, through their self-discovery journeys, are neither defined by nor in oppositional relationships with the males in their lives. The study compares how the qualities of two archetypal goddesses, Uhamiri of the Igbo cosmology and Oya of the Yoruba cosmology, are personified through the personalities of the two female protagonists in Nwapa's Efuru and Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, respectively. Using strong mythical females as templates, this research explores the ways in which the authors have defined their female characters, thus providing an alternative strategy for defining and analyzing black female characters in fiction. The study asserts that literary interpretation of Africana women should include the cultural realities associated with the African religious framework in order to capture the full essence of their humanity. In addition, African feminist thought, unlike Western feminist theory, provides a more realistic model of discourse on Africana women's selfidentity. Examining Africana women from these perspectives, as opposed to analyzing them based on European standards, is an effective method of discrediting stereotypical images that continue to plague the portrayal of black women in fiction. When black women in fiction are explored from this vantage point, the literary work sends a message of cultural authenticity and preservation that elevates Africana women, expanding their functions and positions in society beyond traditional roles.

Abstract:
Asian American literature has continued to evolve since the emergence of first generation Asian American writers in 1975. Authors have continued to interact not only with Asian American content, but also with different forms to express that content – one of these forms is genre writing. Genre writing allows Asian American writers to interact with genre conventions, using them to inform Asian American tropes and vice versa. This thesis focuses on the genre of science fiction, specifically in the subgenre of time travel. Using three literary case studies – Ken Liu’s “The Man Who Ended History,” Charles Yu’s How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and Ted Chiang’s “Story of Your Life” – this thesis seeks to explore the ways in which different Asian American writers have interacted with the genre, using it to retell Asian American narratives in new ways. “The Man Who Ended History” explores the use of time travel in restoring lost or silenced historical narratives, and the implications of that usage; How to Live Safely is a clever rewriting of the immigrant narrative, which embeds the story within the conventions of a science fictional universe; “Story of Your Life” presents a reimagining of alterity, and investigates how we might interact with the alien in a globalized world. Ultimately, all three stories, though quite different, express Asian American concerns in new and interesting ways; they may point to ways that Asian American writers can continue to write and rewrite Asian American narratives, branching out into new genres and affecting those genres in turn.

Full text
Abstract:
Les fictions franco-vietnamiennes, qui ont relevé le défi de dépasser le carcan folklorique, offrent un point de vue original sur les concepts de femmes, d’histoire et d’exil dans des contextes de dominations politique et sociale différents. Néanmoins, ces fictions mettent en place des stratégies de résistance très proches. Parmi toutes les questions soulevées par les représentations qu’élaborent ces œuvres, celle de la résistance a été retenue car elle est particulièrement riche et révélatrice de la complexité de leur identité littéraire. Comment s’écrit la résistance dans les œuvres franco-vietnamiennes ? À quoi résistent-elles ? Quels sont les enjeux de cette résistance ? L’étude se focalise sur les fictions de quatre écrivaines franco-vietnamiennes contemporaines, Linda Lê, Kim Lefèvre, Ly Thu Ho et Anna Moï. Ces écrivaines offrent des pistes de réponses à ces questions, en mettant en évidence trois dominations qui se croisent et s’articulent entre elles : la résistance à la domination masculine, à l’histoire surplombante et à la glorification d’une identité nationale figée. Le cadre d’analyse choisi est celui des resistance studies.Cette méthode permet d’engager une description systématique des figures de résistance présentes dans les récits de fiction. Le champ d’investigation pose tout d’abord le problème des représentations de la place des Vietnamiennes, tiraillées entre la société patriarcale teintée de confucianisme et la société française moderne. Elle implique également l’examen des modalités déployées dans les œuvres du corpus pour déjouer les pièges d’une écriture de l’histoire du Vietnam qui accorderait peu de place aux voix subalternes : aux Vietnamiens et en particulier aux femmes. Finalement, à travers l’analyse de l’exil comme forme masquée d’insoumission, nous interrogerons la façon dont le sujet femme-postcoloniale s’approprie les apports exogènes sans renoncer à son éthique et son identité particulières
Having successfully taken up the challenge of going beyond the limits of folklore, French-Vietnamese fiction offers an original point of view on the ideas of women, history and exile. These elements are staged in different contexts of social and political domination, but they nevertheless set up very similar strategies of resistance. This is why, among all the issues raised by the representations framed by these works, that of resistance was chosen, since it is so rich and revealing of the complexity of their literary identity. How is resistance described in French-Vietnamese works? What is being resisted against? What is at stake in this resistance?This study is focused on the works of four French-Vietnamese contemporary writers: Linda Lê, Kim Lefèvre, Ly Thu Ho and Anna Moï. These female writers provide answers to the questions above by highlighting three correlated and intertwined dominations: resistance to male domination, to overarching history, and to the glorification of a frozen national identity. The framework of the analysis is that of resistance studies.This approach enables a systematic description of the resistance figures encountered in these fictional works. The field of investigation first reveals the issue of the representation of Vietnamese women, torn between a Confucean and patriarchal society and that of modern France. It also implies the study of the means developed in these works to avoid the traps of a writing of Vietnamese history that allows little space to subaltern voices of the Vietnamese, and of women in particular. Finally, through the analysis of exile as a hidden form of insubordination, we will question the way in which French-Vietnamese narrative gives initiative to the postcolonial woman subject and enables her to appropriate contributions from outside without denying her ethics and her identity

Ha, Nina. "Challenging the monolithic representation of the Viet Nam War: Contemporary diasporic Vietnamese writers re-presenting themselves." 2003. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI3110497.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation explores works by 1.5 (immigrant or refugee children who were born in Viet Nam but spent their childhood in the U.S.) or second-generation Vietnamese Americans or Vietnamese living in the diaspora that are written in or translated into English, between the years of 1990 to 2003. Given the heterogeneity of authors whose works I examine, my dissertation analyzes the literature of this globalized Vietnamese community, paying particular attention to members who have made the U.S. their home yet may view themselves as transnational, diasporic subjects. My research is also based upon various genres of literature. I use texts such as autobiographies and memoirs as well as fictional novels, short stories, and poetry. They also include articles and essays from the internet and in various mainstream newspapers and “alternative” presses and journals. The reason for looking at different venues of documentation is due to the scarcity of published writings by 1.5 and second-generation Vietnamese American authors. By utilizing both internet sites and materials in print media and juxtaposing these documents with published books and anthologies, I show the contradictions, reveal the fissures, and disclose the multiplicity of voices of these 1.5 and second-generation Vietnamese American writers. Especially vital to this study is how writers who are part of the 1.5 or second-generation are invested in creating new models of representation for reading, writing, and understanding their respective communities. The reason that I study the ways in which these writers interrogate, negotiate, and re-define both themselves and communities in which they live is largely due to the perception of the dominant U.S. culture and its fixed view of Viet Nam and the Vietnamese people. The dominant U.S. cultural perception sees those living in Viet Nam and in the diaspora as representatives of a twenty-year war that was fought more than 25 years ago. In my research, I argue that these 1.5 and second-generation Vietnamese diasporic writers challenge this hegemonic image.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines Volkhovskii’s life from his third arrest in 1874 through to his flight from Siberian exile in 1889. Following his third arrest, Volkhovskii was held in various prisons, before being tried and found guilty of promoting revolution before a Senate Committee at the Trial of the 193 (1877). During his time in prison, Volkhovskii continued to write revolutionary poetry, something that he started during his earlier incarceration, as well as contributing extensively to legal journals on questions of education (including numerous poems written for children). Following his exile to Siberia, at first in an isolated village and later in Tomsk, Volkhovskii faced almost constant material hardship. He was however able to publish extensively, becoming the most prolific contributor to the journal Sibirskaia gazeta (Siberian Gazette), contributing numerous theatre review and short stories. While some of these were informed by a utilitarian aestheticism, promulgated in previous years by writers like Nikolai Chernyshevskii and Dmitrii Pisarev, Volkhovskii also developed a penchant for writing fantasies that often satirised bureaucratic corruption and the materialism of the merchant class. Sibirskaia gazeta was committed to fostering the development of Siberian self-consciousness, something that Volkhovskii echoed in many of own his stories and poems, reflecting his long-standing view that building national identity among minority groups could help to challenge the centralised system of bureaucratic rule that characterised the tsarist state. By the late 1880s, the material hardships faced by Volkhovskii were worse than ever, while his meetings with the American traveller George Kennan convinced him that he should move abroad in order to win international support for all those opposing the tsarist government.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract“Necessary fictions,” a term coined by Homi K. Bhabha (The theory of reading, The Harvester Press, Brighton, 1989), refers to literature of postcolonial nations rewriting their history in such a way as to compensate for the lack of independence and agency in the colonial period. The Roma nation in East Central Europe has all the features of what in postcolonial studies is defined as the subaltern—no voice and representation of their own. This minority, due to a range of reasons, did not create such “necessary fictions” that we could compare to the postcolonial ones. The lack of such literary self-presentation in the national languages of East Central Europe has often been seen as a challenge for non-Romani or/and assimilated Roma writers. This was especially the case after World War II, when a massive action of enforced settlement of this nomadic nation took place across all communist countries, and there was a strong need to promote Roma culture as a—although not equivalent—part of local national landscapes. A need to “translate” Roma culture in the literary language was an important part of the state-planned assimilation. These translations were meant as the substitute for the authentic “necessary fictions” archive of literature. This trend continued after the political breakthrough of 1989, already in a different social context.

Abstract:
Throughout history, educators have always been interested by the question of how technology can be used to transform education and enhance student learning. One of the most recent technologies that have captured the attention of many educators around the world is Web 2.0, which is also known as the read-write web. We have to face it there is very little off-line writing or reading any more. A small minority still actually "read" or "write" in a traditional way. Under such circumstances the teachers have to adapt and to use the same learning support or creative tools as the largest number of young generation. Youth with writing talent display distinguishing characteristics and those characteristics can be supported and enhanced using Web 2.0 tools. Online writing communities can help students connect with other writers and can offer motivational challenges such as contests and publication opportunities. Resources are available for writers of varying ages and interests; features include moderated discussions and commenting, online and hard-copy publication options, peer models, multimedia integration, as well as collaboration. Using Web 2.0 tools, teachers can promote a writing education that not only meets 21st-century standards but also effectively meets the needs of talented writers. When all students - not just those who are gifted - feel that they have ownership in their writings or publications and have a sense of belonging to a literacy community, talent development occurs naturally, making the teacher's job easier. When used wisely, Web 2.0 tools can provide authentic learning experiences for the young writers in their own classroom. This paper working hypothesis is that primary school students` writing competence and creativity can be increased by using the largest number of sources offered by the digital world.

Abstract:
The article reviews the situation in Swedish-language Finnish literature, its trends and prospects of development. Starting from the Bakhtin’s complex of ideas, and from us vs. them and center vs. periphery concepts the article analyses the connections of the national minority literature with Finnish literature, and with neighboring Swedish literature that is kindred by language. Further, considering trends of Swedish-language Finnish literature development in the 20th century it infers that the Swedish-language cultural legacy reduced its influence on the Finnish society and literature, in particular, and diminished roles of contemporary writers in the all-Finnish literature process, thereby predetermining their peripheral position. In the conclusion the article discusses the prospects of Swedish-language Finnish literature development that directly depend on preservation of the official status of Swedish language in Finland.

Abstract:
The Hlučín Region, which today forms part of the Czech Republic, is a region whose name was used in modern times and for the first time in connection with its annexation to the Czechoslovak Republic in 1920. The course of its eventful history, which was determined by various power interests, was significantly influenced over the centuries by the coexistence of the Czech/Moravian population with the German minority. The influence of the German language, culture, customs and manners is reflected in political and social coexistence as well as, among other things. in the regional folk songs. The folk songs in the Hultčín region were collected by a number of collectors of oral tradition. The German-written folk song collection Dreiunddreißig Lieder aus Hultschin. Mährische Volkslieder were compiled by the writer August Scholtis.

Abstract:
This paper asks: when and under what conditions does religion become a source of coopera- tion rather than conflict? The Gülen movement is an Islamic social movement that bases its philosophy on increasing religious consciousness at the individual level and making Islam an important social force in the public sphere. It is this intellectual and social activism that has made the movement a global phenomenon and the focus of socio-political analysis. The Gülen community brings different sectors of society together to facilitate ‘collective intellectual effort’ and offer ‘civil responses’ to social issues, seeing this as a more subtle and legitimate way of influencing public debate and policy. To this end, the movement initiated a series of symposiums, known as Abant Workshops in Turkey. The scope of these meetings was later expanded to include a wider audience in Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East. This paper looks specifically at the Abant Workshops and the movement’s strategy of bridge building and problem-solving. It uses the press releases, transcripts and audio-visual records of the past 14 meetings to discuss their objectives and outcomes. This material is supplement- ed by interviews with key organisers from the Journalists and Writer Foundation and other participants. The discussion aims to understand how far religiously inspired social groups can contribute to the empowerment of civil society vis-à-vis the state and its officially secular ideology. Beyond that, it aims to explain the role of civil society organisations in democratic governance, and the possibility of creating social capital in societies lacking a clear ‘overlap- ping consensus’ on issues of citizenship, morality and national identity. The hesitancy at the beginning turns into friendship, the distance into understanding, stiff looks and tensions into humorous jokes, and differences into richness. Abant is boldly moving towards an institutionalization. The objective is evident: Talking about some of the problems the country is facing, debating them and offering solutions; on a civil ground, within the framework of knowledge and deliberation. Some labelled the ideas in the concluding declarations as “revolutionary,” “renaissance,” and “first indications of a religious reform.” Some others (in minority) saw them “dangerous” and “non-sense.” In fact, the result is neither a “revolution” nor “non-sense” It is an indication of a quest for opening new horizons or creating a novel vision. When and under what conditions does religion become a source of cooperation rather than conflict in the civil society? The Gülen movement is an Islamic social movement that bases its philosophy on increasing religious consciousness at the individual level and making Islam an important social force in the public sphere. It is this intellectual and social activism that raises the Gülen movement of Turkey as a global phenomenon to the focus of socio-political analysis. The Gülen community brings different sectors of the society together to create and facilitate a ‘common intellect’ to brainstorm and offer ‘civil responses’ to social issues. The move- ment sees this as a more subtle, but more effective, and legitimate way of influencing public debate and policy. Hence, the movement initiated a series of symposiums, known as Abant Workshops in Turkey. The scope of the meetings was later expanded to include a wider audi- ence in Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East. In early 1990s the Gülen Movement launched a silent but persistent public relations cam- paign. Fethullah Gülen openly met with the prominent figures of government and politics, and gave interviews to some popular newspapers and magazines. With a thriving media net- work, private schools, and business associations the movement seemed to have entered a new stage in its relations with the outside world. This new stage was not a simple outreach effort; it was rather a confident step to carve a niche in the increasingly diversified Turkish public sphere. The instigation of a series of workshops known as Abant Platforms was one of the biggest steps in this process. The workshops brought academics, politicians, and intellectu- als together to discuss some of the thorniest issues of, first, Turkey, such as secularism and pluralism, and then the Muslim World, such as war, globalization and modernization. This paper seeks to explain the motives behind this kind of an ambitious project and its possible implications for the movement itself, for Turkey and for the Muslim World in transition.
