Empowering Muslims in Leila Aboulela’s Minaret and Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf
Authors: Walid Awajan Nosaybah , Flayeh Al-Shetawi Mahmoud
Published: January 2021

Diasporic Arab writers substantially differ in how they represent aspects of contemporary Arabic culture(s) in their literary works and diasporic Arab women writers have represented Islam even more differently in their works. The study investigates how Islam is portrayed in the fiction of two diasporic Arab women writers, Leila Aboulela (b. 1964- ) and Mohja Kahf. (1967- ). General literary research has been conducted on these two writers and how they represent Islam in their writing; however, firstly, most of the conducted literature is about the veil and what it adds to Muslim women living in the West. Secondly, most of the previous research tackles each writer alone. Nevertheless, the current study is predominantly different as it shows how Islam is represented in both Aboulela’s Minaret (2004) and Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006) as a religion that provides an ethical pathway and empowers its adherents socially, politically and psychologically, thus lending purpose to one’s life. It also fills the gap in discussing the works of two writers from different backgrounds and in different settings and contexts in one study..
Revisiting the Concept of Freedom in George Orwell’s A Hanging and Shooting an Elephant: A Postcolonial Perspective
Authors: Zeidanin Hussein
Published: January 2021

George Orwell's Shooting an Elephant and A Hanging are representative of an essentialist colonial discourse that widens gaps and nourishes conflicts between the west and other civilizations and cultures. The research paper argues that the image of the white man as an independent, free, self-determining and self-initiated subject is shattered by an uncritical acquiescence to the authority of the empire and the native crowds. Recognizing ironic freedom as grasped from the standpoints of first person narrators is essential for determining who is really free: the Burmese or their colonizer. Edward Said’s metaphors of the potentate and traveller, which respectively signify domination and acculturation, lay the ground upon which the narrator in each of Orwell's stories is characterized. The narrators' physical and emotional detachment from Burma parallels their unbreakable ideological attachment to the empire. This parallelism unveils a desire for dominion and control and a suppressed fear of humility or servility. Yet, their authority and command as potentates are disrupted by the restrictions the empire, as well as the natives, place on their freedom..
Art and Cultural Participation and Life Satisfaction in Adults: The Role of Physical Health, Mental Health, and Interpersonal Relationships
Authors: Lee Chia-Wen , Lin Li-Ching , Hung Huang-Chia
Published: January 2021

Many different forms of art and cultural participation, for example, visiting museums and galleries, have received increasing attention as an important new focus for public health. While a growing body of evidence suggests that art and cultural participation enhance human health and well-being in the West, the research is just in the infancy in the East. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of art and cultural participation of museums and galleries on life satisfaction intervened and controlled by physical and mental health and interpersonal relationships and individual's background. This study adopted large-sample data from the seventh period of the Taiwan Social Change Survey. The sample population comprised 2,034 adult participants, involving 1,042 males and 992 females. The average age of the respondents was 47.67 ± 17.48 years. The results showed that individuals aged 30–64 years with an average monthly income between NT$20,000–NT$40,000 had a higher frequency of art and cultural participation of museums and galleries. Women under 29 years reported better life satisfaction. Individuals with a higher frequency of art and cultural participation of museums and galleries affected life satisfaction not only directly but also indirectly through interpersonal relationships, particularly among women and the elderly. Individuals who visited museums and galleries more frequently had greater life satisfaction and higher frequency of interpersonal contact. This was particularly evident in older females. Art and cultural participation of museums and galleries directly affected individual's life satisfaction and indirectly affected it via interpersonal relationships after controlling for gender, age, and monthly income. These findings indicate that visiting museums and galleries can enhance the frequency of interpersonal interactions and life satisfaction.

In the end the Christian family in the Gereja Toraja Klasis Makale tengah Jemaat Imanuel Tampo can through the suffering of the death of a child by surrending to God and accepting it.
Dominasi Oligarki dan Ketidakhadiran Partai Politik Hijau di Indonesia
Authors: Hasanal Bolqiah Luthfi , Raffiudin Riaty
Published: January 2021

Kerusakan lingkungan dan dampaknya merupakan persoalan yang masih terus berlanjut di Indonesia serta belum cukup mampu untuk mendorong transformasi narasi politik hijau menjadi platform partai politik sebagaimana yang terjadi di negara lain. Literatur sebelumnya seringkali menggunakan kerangka liberalis dan menuntut kesadaran kolektif serta partisipasi masyarakat dalam mengawasi persoalan lingkungan, bukan urgensi keterwakilan politik hijau. Selain itu, perspektif konstitusional dan institusional juga terlampau idealis dan kurang memperhatikan kepentingan individu yang selalu mencari keuntungan. Tulisan ini berupaya untuk menganalisa penyebab dari persoalan lingkungan serta absennya keterwakilan narasi politik hijau dalam bentuk formal dengan menggunakan teori oligarki dan keterwakilan politik. Melalui analisa kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode wawancara dan studi literatur ditemukan: (1) narasi politik Hijau di Indonesia tersebar di berbagai janji kandidat dan partai politik menjelang pemilu, (2) konsentrasi pengelolaan dan penguasaan sumber daya alam merupakan sumber pendapatan oligark yang terus dipertahankan, (3) keterlibatan oligark dalam politik menghambat pertimbangan narasi politik hijau dalam proses pembuatan kebijakan, (4) ketidakhadiran platform partai politik hijau memberi keleluasaan terhadap dominasi oligark, sedangkan (4) konsolidasi platform politik hijau juga terkendala faktor internal berupa pro dan kontra pendirian partai serta faktor eksternal seperti sistem kepartaian dan aturan-aturan pemilihan umum.
Design and Simulation of Near-Terahertz GaN Photoconductive Switches--Operation in the Negative Differential Mobility Regime and Pulse Compression
Authors: Rakheja Shaloo , Li Kexin , Dowling Karen M. , Conway Adam , Voss Lars
Published: January 2021

The wide bandgap material, Gallium Nitride
(GaN), has emerged as the dominant semiconductor
material to implement high-electron mobility transistors
(HEMTs) that form the basis of RF electronics. GaN is also
an excellent material to realize photoconductive switches
(PCSS) whose high-frequency performance could exceed
that of RF HEMTs. In this paper, we numerically model
the output characteristics of a GaN PCSS as a function of
the input electrical and optical bias and the device dimensions. Importantly, we show that operating the GaN PCSS
in the regime of negative differential mobility significantly
benefits its high-frequency performance by compressing
the temporal width of the output current pulse, while also
enhancing its peak value. We find that when the optically
excited carriers are generated in the middle of the active
region, the bandwidth of the device is approximately 600
GHz, while delivering an output power exceeding 800 mW
with a power gain greater than 35 dB. The output power
increases to 1.5 W, and the power gain exceeds 40 dB
with a near-terahertz bandwidth ( ≈ 800 GHz), as the laser
source is moved closer to the anode. Finally, we elucidate
that under high optical bias with significant electrostatic
screening effects, the DC electric field across the device
can be boosted to further enhance the performance of the
GaN PCSS.

Modalités d’évaluation des dépassements de la valeur limite en CVM dans l’eau potable par l’ARS des Pays de la Loire et mise en œuvre des prescriptions du ministère de la Santé
Authors: BOULIOU R. , BOURLOT F. , PEIGNER P. , POLATO T.
Published: January 2021

En application de l’instruction du ministère de la Santé du 18 octobre 2012 visant à repérer les canalisations d’eau en polychlorure de vinyle (PVC) posées avant 1980 et susceptibles de relarguer du chlorure de vinyle monomère (CVM), l’Agence régionale de santé (ARS) des Pays de la Loire a décidé de mener sans délai un plan d’action pluriannuel sur cette problématique. Par une mobilisation des acteurs concernés, collectivités et exploitants, il a été possible de cibler les tronçons à risque et de réaliser des prélèvements, conformément aux exigences de l’instruction nationale. Des actions de résorption ont été engagées sans délai sur la plupart des tronçons puisque, fin 2018, 80 % des situations avaient fait l’objet d’une action de remédiation soit par la pose d’une purge, laquelle a constitué l’étape initiale, soit par le remplacement des canalisations, étape ultime visée. Dans les deux cas, et sous réserve de bien identifier
le linéaire concerné et les conditions de renouvellement de l’eau dans les canalisations, la situation a été améliorée comme en attestent les résultats des contrôles réalisés après travaux et purges. Pour ces dernières, il est procédé à un suivi annuel tant que les purges sont présentes. Il est important que ces contrôles soient réalisés dans des conditions représentatives du risque. Les volumes d’eau associés aux purges ont été quantifiés et il convient, dans le contexte du Maine-et-Loire, de relativiser leur impact sur les ressources. La mobilisation des collectivités dans la durée a été obtenue grâce à l’implication des acteurs concernés au sein d’un groupe de suivi du plan d’action, animé par le département. La population concernée a également été évaluée. Ce plan d’action a montré néanmoins certaines difficultés justifiant en particulier une évolution de l’appréciation du risque tel que défini dans l’instruction de 2012.
Solutions curatives pour pallier la contamination des réseaux d’eau potable par le CVM, sur le bassin Loire-Bretagne
Authors: PICHON E.
Published: January 2021

Le bassin hydrographique Loire-Bretagne, qui couvre 28 % du territoire hexagonal, s’étend sur 34 départements du nord-ouest de la France (13 millions d’habitants). Ce bassin est caractérisé par un équipement rural récent, avec une forte proportion de réseaux en polychlorure de vinyle (PVC) posés entre 1970 et 1990. L’instruction DGS E4/2012/366 du 18 octobre 2012 a conduit à la réalisation de nombreuses campagnes de prélèvements diligentés par les agences régionales de santé (ARS) sur ce bassin très
concerné par le risque de contamination par le chlorure de vinyle monomère (CVM). Un nombre croissant de dépassements de la valeur limite de 0,5 μg/L a été mesuré sur les antennes des réseaux en PVC posées avant 1980. Face à cette problématique, l’Agence de l’eau Loire-Bretagne (AELB) a décidé d’accompagner les collectivités rurales impactées, en finançant le remplacement des canalisations concernées par les dépassements, dans le cadre de ses dixième (2013-2018) et onzième (2019-2024) programmes d’interventions. Une doctrine d’intervention a été définie avec les ARS de manière à réaliser des études préalables homogènes et à optimiser le linéaire de conduites à remplacer. L’agence de l’eau dresse un bilan des opérations mises en œuvre sur le bassin, opérations pour l’instant les plus nombreuses menées en France, du fait du contexte exposé et de l’avancement des investigations réalisées par les ARS du bassin. L’évolution chronologique et géographique et la typicité (secteurs concernés, linéaire, diamètres et coût moyen des tronçons renouvelés) des demandes d’aides reçues par l’agence de l’eau de 2012 à 2019 sont présentées. Au regard de l’étude, il est souhaitable que chaque collectivité mène une étude patrimoniale et des prélèvements suffisamment exhaustifs.
Pengaruh Kepemimpinan Transformasional dan Lingkungan Kerja Terhadap Kepuasan Kerja Dosen IAIN Kendari Sulawesi Tenggara
Authors: Ardin.MPd Ardi Ardin
Published: January 2021

Perguruan tinggi sejatinya adalah pencetak insan intelektual cerdas. Seluruh penyelenggara Negara di Negeri dari level rendah sampai tinggi maupun tingkat daerah sampai pusat dilahirkan dari perguruan tinggi senusantara. Faktanya kualitas sumberdaya perguruan tinggi Indonesia masih jauh tertinggal dibawah level perguruan tinggi lain dunia maupun kawasan ASEAN sendiri. Sesuai  data yang dipublish oleh QS Word, Times High Education (THE), dan Academic of Ranking World Universities (ARWU). Penyebab rendahnya kualitas perguruan tinggi indonesia adalah kurangnya kerjasama terkait hasil riset perguruan tinggi dengan pihak perusahan atau industri. Dalam renstra Kementerian Riset, Teknologi dan Pendidikan Tinggi (Kemenristekdikti) 2015-2019, pada tabel capaian kinerja Dikti disebutkan bahwa pada 2014, perguruan tinggi yang masuk top 500 dunia ditargetkan sejumlah 11 perguruan tinggi, realisasinya hanya dua perguruan tinggi. Kasus penonaktifan sebanyak 243 perguruan tinggi yang dilakukan Dikti selama 2015 ini menjadi bukti dan koreksi atas rendahnya kualitas pengelolaan perguruan tinggi Indonesia. Perguruan tinggi Islam Indonesia juga tidak kalah saing dengan perguruan tinggi Negeri lainnya. Saat ini seluruh perguruan tinggi Islam Negeri di Indonesia berjumlah 53 yang terdiri dari 11 UIN, 23 IAIN, dan 19 STAIN yang tersebar diseluruh wilayah nusantara. IAIN Kendari merupakan salah satu perguruan tinggi yang senantiasa berbenah dalam meningkatkan sumberdaya manusianya. Selama ini peningkatan mutu pendidikan di perguruan tinggi selalu dikaitkan dengan kinerja dosen yang kurang maksimal tanpa memikirkan sisi lain dari dosen yaitu kepuasan kerja dosen. Kesimpulan Terdapat pengaruh langsung positif kepemimpinan transformasional terhadap kepuasan kerja, pengaruh langsung positif lingkungan kerja terhadap kepuasan kerja dan pengaruh langsung positif kepemimpinan transformasional terhadap lingkungan kerja

Necrotic pulp in permanent teeth with incompletely formed or wide-open apices results in the death ofcells that are effective in the improvement of root. This slows down the possibility of apical closure aswell as improvement of root. Endodontic management consisting of diseased or dead pulp with adolescentpermanent teeth along with an open expanded root apex is a challenging concern. During obturation in thattooth,it is unimaginable to obtain a proper seal at the tip. There are various techniques to treat an immaturetooth with open apex which involve the application of (1) a custom-made cone(blunt end); (2) a short filltechnique; (3) periapical surgery; (4) apexification; and (5) one-visit apexification. Mostly recommendedtreatment of choice is ‘apexification’ which is a method to induce root apex development of an immaturenonvital tooth by formation of osteocementum or bone-like tissue. The most recommended medicament iscalcium hydroxide that facilitates the development of a calcific barrier found in the root apex. According tothe survey of the clinical involvement and information of journalists, management of an incomplete nonvitaltooth can bring noticeable outcomes from the disinfectant and ossification promoting activity of Ca(OH)2

Main factors stimulating innovative development of Ukraine
Authors: Liubchych Anna , Podrez-Riapolova Iryna
Published: January 2021

Problem setting. The introduction of the model of innovative development of the national economy requires the improvement of the system of state regulation of investment and innovation processes. It is the transformational trends in the national innovation system that necessitates a comprehensive analysis of the main factors that contribute to innovative development. At the same time, the stimulation of innovation orientation of any country’s development should be considered as part of the model of investment development of its economy, provided that this model has priority in innovative development.

Target of research is to study the main factors promoting innovation. To achieve this goal, structural, comparative and statistical research methods were used.

Analysis of resent researches and publications. Problems of development of the national innovation system and innovation infrastructure, ensuring the development of innovation processes have received considerable coverage in the works of scientists: S. V. Hlibko, O. V. Rozghon, A. M. Liubchych, A. V. Strizhkova and others.

Article’s main body. One way to conceptually organize all the factors that determine innovation in a country is to think about the triangle of innovation success: the factors of the business environment along one side of the triangle; trade, tax and regulatory environment – the other party; and the innovation policy environment – along the third party. An effective business environment includes the institutions, activities and opportunities of the country’s business community, as well as broader societal attitudes and practices that promote innovation. An effective trade, tax, and regulatory environment has a competitive and open trade regime that includes strong government efforts to protect its businesses from foreign mercantilist practices; supporting competitive markets so that new entrants, including those implementing new business models, can thrive; processes that make it easy to open a new business and bring innovation to market; transparency and the rule of law; a reasonable tax burden on business, especially for innovation-based firms and commercial companies. The final stage of the innovation triangle is a complex and powerful system of innovation policy. Although markets and business are key to innovation, without an effective innovation policy, markets will be inefficient.

Conclusions and prospects for the development. Effective innovative development of the country is possible only if there is a developed business, trade, tax, regulatory environment and an environment of innovation policy that can guarantee proper support for public investment in innovation infrastructure. At the same time, for Ukraine to be attractive to foreign investors, legislation on attracting investment must be clear, democratic and stable.
Recognition of the state in modern international law (on the example of Kosovo)
Authors: Yefremova Kateryna , Maryniv Ivanna
Published: January 2021

Problem setting. International science has long been discussing the mechanism of legal recognition of newly created states. And in general the need for the existence of such an international legal institution as the recognition of states. If until the twentieth century this institution was considered as a purely theoretical component of the science of public international law, then with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, more than twenty new statessubjects of international law were formed. The need for their recognition by the international community has actualized the interest in this institution in international law. However, since then, the mechanism and criteria for such recognition have not been unified. Therefore, for example, the situation with the recognition of Kosovo still remains quite ambiguous.

Target of research. The purpose of this study is the trace genesis of the development of the institution of recognition of states in international law, provide a doctrinal definition and scientific criteria for the recognition of states. On the example of Kosovo to analyze the current state of privately defined states in terms of their powers in the international arena.

Analysis of resent researches and publications. The following scientists were engaged in research of the specified question: L. V. Shpakovsky, V. V. Ishchenko, T. V. Tsymbrivsky, P. V. Otenko, Yu. P. Ignatiuk, I. Ye. Khmelyova, A. I. Grigorshin. This question has been studied among foreign researchers: E. A. Kholina, R. Karaev, D. A. Budko.

Article’s main body. The article considers the main approaches to the institution of international recognition of states. Examples of criteria for such recognition are proposed by both international legal doctrine and international organizations in the process of their functioning and interaction with states. Declarative and constitutive theories of recognition of states are analyzed. It also examines the current state and status of Kosovo as a partially recognized state.

Conclusions and prospects for the development. The problem of international recognition of the state is extremely important and needs to be resolved as soon as possible. That the very ability of recognized national institutions to respond quickly to the principles of society and geopolitical changes are the marketing dynamics of the development of the entire world community. In this regard, it is appropriate to systematize and harmonize the existing norms on the international definition of states and to carry out their further codification. Since most countries of the world still recognized Kosovo as a newly created state, in our opinion, such recognition is appropriate for all other countries. For other unrecognized territories, each case of recognition of new countries before the creation of a single codified act should be considered individually and not through the prism of the formation of Kosovo.
Some problems of ad hoc recognition in the modern international law
Authors: Maryniv Ivanna , Morozova Alyona
Published: January 2021

Formulation of the problem. The article deals with general theoretical issues related to the institution of international legal recognition. The basic theories of state recognition, problems arising in connection with their practical application and forms of state recognition are studied. Questions are raised about the problem of codification of this institution. Particular attention is paid to the practice of forced relations with unrecognized states. With the growth of globalization, the question of the formation of unrecognized states is becoming more frequent and more acute. In an interdependent, interconnected world that is gaining global integrity, one of the highest values has become independent statehood. The emergence of unrecognized states is a global problem for the international community, which cannot always be resolved even by such influential and powerful organizations as the UN and NATO.

Analysis of recent research and publications. Among scholars who specialize in international law, there are many scientific papers on the problems of recognition. M. Aleksievets, S. Vidnyansky, V. Golovchenko, A. Zlenko, O. Ivchenko, B. Korneenko, Y. Makar, V. Matvienko, L. Chekalenko and many other domestic authors devoted their works to this issue.

The purpose of the scientific article is a general overview of theories, procedures, forms of recognition of states, and the study of relevant practices in this area.

Article’s main body. The article deals with issues related to the international recognition of the newly created states by other states. In this regard, there are a number of unresolved issues in international law in terms of their justification and regulation. The authors point out that when a new state is created, the international community should cooperate in some way with it, and there are no certain international norms on how to act. The article examines the main provisions of theories of recognition of states: constitutive and declarative, and the problems that arise in connection with their practical application. The authors consider the thesis that there is a world practice when states can enter into certain relations with other states before their official recognition, explaining this by the existence of three possible forms of recognition: “de jure”, “de facto”, “ad hoc”. At the same time, diplomatic relations and exchange of embassies arise only during the official recognition – recognition “de jure”.

Conclusions and prospects for the development: The lack of an international act that would define the procedure and criteria for the recognition of states is due to the uniqueness of each case and the complex system of international relations. Currently, there are no clear and specific criteria that would determine when and under what conditions a new state can be recognized or not recognized by the international community. The emergence of an increasing number of unrecognized states in the international arena requires new approaches and research.

Authors: Nguyen T. H.
Published: January 2021

UDC 517.9 Many problems in applied mathematics can be transformed and described by the differential inclusion involving which is a normal cone to a closed convex set at The Cauchy problem of this inclusion is studied in the paper. Since the change of leads to the change of solving the inclusion becomes extremely complicated. In this paper, we consider an ordinary differential equation containing a control parameter When is large enough, the studied equation gives a solution approximating to a solution of the inclusion above. The theorem about the approximation of these solutions with arbitrary small error (this error can be controlled by increasing ) is proved in this paper.

The Hormonal Seed Priming in Relation to Carrot Germination
Authors: Ghafoor Filza , Liaqat Sana , Iqbal Waseem
Published: January 2021

Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment used to reduce stress effects in crops .This technique has been used to increase the germination rate of seeds mainly under unfavorable environmental condition. Crop productivity faces many problems like that unavailability of suitable condition that causes unbalanced seedling growth and poor germination. Hormones are essential to improve plant growth, development, crop yield quality and quantity. Auxin is essential hormones that improves germination of seeds and reduce stress effects. Laboratory experiment was conducted to study the effect of seed priming using different concentrations of IAA and IBA on carrot seeds (Daucus carota). In laboratory experiment, three concentrations of IAA and IBA (75 ppm, 50ppm, 25ppm) treated with distilled water with priming duration of 24 hours. Experiment was laid out in CRD with three replications. Data was collected to investigate the effect of seed priming with IAA and IBA under these condition like that (fresh weight, dry weight, speed of germination, root length, seed length, seedling length, final germination rate, mean germination time and dry matter content). Maximum fresh weight, final germination percentage, seedling length, energy of germination, speed of germination and mean germination rate was recorded IBA 75ppm. Maximum dry weight and dry matter content was observed IBA 25ppm.Maximum shoot length was recorded IBA 50ppm. Non-significant difference was recorded in root length.
The Discovery and History of Animal and Human Physiology

Published: January 2021

This study discusses Nucleus, history of the discovery of the cell nucleus Structure and parts of the cell nucleus. All of them is the phisiology of animal and human. The cell nucleus (nucleus) can be defined as an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Nucleoplasm The nucleoplasm is the liquid that is in the nucleus which is thick and transparent. The cell nucleus has many genes from DNA which are arranged and form structures called chromosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum consists of tubules, vesicles and flattened pockets that occupy the cytoplasmic space. The endoplasmic reticulum is a part of the cell that consists of a membrane system, which has a structure that resembles a multi-layered sac. These sacs are called cisternae.
Estimation of Gender by Using Decision Tree, a Machine Learning Algorithm, With Patellar Measurements Obtained From MDCT Images
Authors: ÖNER Serkan , TURAN Muhammed , ÖNER Zülal
Published: January 2021

Aim: The present study aimed to analyze whether gender could be determined with the decision tree (DT) method, a machine learning algorithm, based on patellar multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) image measurements. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 219 male and 131 female MDCT images. The patellar anteroposterior (Ap), craniocaudal (Cc), transverse (Trv) length and volume (Vol), adjusted on the orthogonal plane by the radiologist, were calculated. In patellar length measurements, initially linear discriminant outliers were detected to clear the data for gender prediction. Accuracy (Acc), Sensitivity (Sen), Specificity (Spe), F1-Score (F1) and Matthew’s Correlation Coefficient (Mcc) criteria were taken as the performance criteria for DT. Results: It was determined that male Ap, Trv, Cc, and Vol values were higher when compared to the female values and there was a significant difference between these values based on gender (pAp, Trv, Cc, Vol = 0.000). Using the above-mentioned measurements, it was calculated that the prediction rate for male individuals was 98.2% and for female individuals, it was 98.4%. Conclusion: DT analysis based on patella morphometry provided a simple, adequate and highly accurate approach for gender estimation. Furthermore, it was determined that it would provide an advantage for researchers in gender prediction using only branching and cut-off values on the tree structure without the need to use a computer.
Treatise on the Whole-World by Mathieu Béluse
Authors: Glissant Édouard
Published: January 2021

A perplexing title! Mathieu Béluse is a character from Glissant’s novels, and the chapter contains little explicitly on the Treatise. There are memories of Glissant’s childhood and adolescence, focusing on his attitudes to time and space, and fascination with distant countries. One section is devoted to his memories of World War 2 in Martinique. He praises the strength in adversity of Caribbean women. The themes of place, landscapes and identity return, along with a new emphasis on errance (wandering).
Introduction
Authors: Reader Keith
Published: January 2021

A survey of the history of the Marais from the Middle Ages to the present day. No Parisian quartier has undergone such extraordinary changes of fortune – from riches to rags and back again – and the Introduction offers a succinct overview of these along with consideration of perhaps the book’s major methodological and theoretical question, what it means to write about a city. The area’s current incarnation as what its detractors might dub a historical and cultural theme park should not, it is argued, serve to obfuscate the protean fascination of its history. This is not a guide-book, despite which the Introduction provides a brief overview of the neighbourhood today, in particular its commercial and cultural resources.
‘The poor and the well-to-do lived side by side in the same street’
Authors: Reader Keith
Published: January 2021

An account of the Marais in its earliest days and during the time when it was the Paris headquarters of the nobility. The medieval coexistence of the splendiferous and the noisome is evoked, and the importance of the area for later literary figures such as Scarron and Madame de Sévigné is examined along with the work of the two great chroniclers of pre-Revolutionary Paris, Restif de la Bretonne and Louis-Sébastien Mercier – respectively voyeur and flâneur extraordinaire. Restif speaks warmly of a group of Jewish families he encountered, whereas Mercier, writing in the year before the Revolution, views the neighbourhood as a dismally staid backwater – a portent of the decline that lay in store.
Postscript
Authors: Monserrati Michele
Published: January 2021

The “Postscript” outlines the history of Japanese institutions created in Italy in the years following the Italian unification to make the case for the need to account for this Japanese fascination in the context of Italian history. The foundation of these institutions points in the direction of a lesser known historical trajectory that modern Italy had been pursuing since its foundation. The Postscript suggests that while the colonial enterprise was moving the geopolitical interests of the country toward the African continent, a parallel non-violent movement of diplomatic, cultural and commercial exchanges took place with Japan, reaching its peak during the period of the Axis Alliance. A possible explanation of why the notion of these two countries as international partners seems almost counterintuitive today is identified in the post-war period of ‘Pax Americana,’ which removed the material evidence of this alliance. Yet, the chapter ends by noticing a positive overarching approach toward Japan that resisted historical change.
A Song Whose Time Has Come: Northern Uganda, Apocalyptic Futures, and the Oral Jurisprudence of Okot p’Bitek
Authors: Leman Peter
Published: January 2021

In Artist, the Ruler (1986), Okot p’Bitek claims that the oral artist in Africa “proclaims the laws but expresses them in the most indirect language: through metaphor and symbol, in image and fable. He sings and dances his laws.” This provocative observation was one of the starting points for this book as a whole, and, here, I examine Song of Lawino (1966) and Song of Ocol (1967) in light of his claim that the oral artist is a lawmaker. I also situate his work in relationship to recent conversations about law and modernity in Northern Uganda’s struggle against the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). Although his work appeared long before the LRA, many of Okot’s texts have reemerged as part of a conversation about how to achieve reconciliation now that the conflict has largely ended. To account for this reception, I draw on Russell Samolsky’s concept of “apocalyptic futures,” arguing that the oral jurisprudence of Okot’s texts has “revealed itself to be ahead of its time,” taking on new significance in the context of the LRA, particularly in portraying Acholi legal principles critical to post-conflict reconciliation.
