Careful consideration of the Poetry collection called "Old Times" by Turkish Poet Ziya Osman Saba reveals that it revolves around alienation-death duality. Ziya's poetry experience was a representation of his suffering facing his frustrating reality when he, first, lost his mother as a young boy and, second, when Turkey lost it Islamic identity in the era of Attaturk and turned down its Islamic roots and its genuine Cultural heritage. This frustration made the poet isolated and alienated from the surrounding reality. And, further, it pushed him to find in death fulfillment of his wishes and dreams. So, Ziya wished to die and started to write about death in his poems because he felt that death would be his savior which would bring him peace and free him from life, in which he felt a stranger, and from home which was no longer a home.

Man and Historical Consciousness

Philosophers define man as a "historical creature", i.e. it is man who makes his history and is time-conscious, unlike all other creatures. Even if other creatures possess a "history", they lack consciousness of time and natural development. Man only is capable of understanding the dialectic of time and history. And if God is the creator of nature, Man is the creator of "history", i.e. a creator of the social, political, economic organization of history, as well as the creator of art, law and language. "History" therefore is a pure human creation in the sense that a maker of history is himself the subject of history. Moreover, it may be said that man's creation of history is one of the most important and self-evident ideas that intellectuals and philosophers were interested in throughout time. This research deals with the understanding of man to his self and his consciousness of historical reality through which he lives. In this framework, the beginning of historical consciousness in ancient civilizations : Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, and Greek, is presented. Next, the religious concept of "history" in Judaism is discussed, as well as in Christian theology. There follows a discussion of historiography in the Islamic state throughout the ages – a practice that dealt with all aspects of life. Finally, a discussion of historical consciousness in the modern age is given. Scholars of history in the west dealt with the quantum leap that happened in historical studies – a development that goes back to the first half of the nineteenth century when distinguished methods of historical knowledge were developed and a new Copernican revolution broke out and presented the science of "history" in a new garb.

The research is focused on studying the sociocultural challenges facing the investment in the domains of media and communication. The researcher started from the domination, mystification and monopolization practiced by the current international media system particularly dominated by the United States of America and Western countries in general. This system justifies human rights violations committed by the elites and the companies controlling mass media technologically and ideologically. Considering it as the product of mass media, the researcher also tackles globalization and its different influences on nations, their cultures and values. Moreover, the researcher raised the following research questions: Are there any media influences associated with the ending of the cold war and the advent of the so called “the new world system”, and the age of globalization? What are these influences? Does the development in information technology have any consequences on national sovereignty? Do the private and public sectors play any role in the investment in satellite channels? What are the characteristics of the new international media system? What are the contemporary challenges facing media? . The research is concluded with the suggestion that the negative influences imposed by the intrusive media (supported by its developed technology) should be faced. These negative influences can be summarized as follows: Challenging peoples’ cultures and civilizations and imposing other cultures on them. Mid and long term change of the behavioral patterns of ethnic and conservative groups. A negative impact on thought, particularly of the coming generations. An unfair contestation of the ethical, social, and religious principles and values to destabilize social solidarity.

The agriculture has been developed in "Kharasan", during the age of the great "Seljuk" Sultans, Which led to the prosperity of trade in "Kharasan" during the Seljuks' age. The trade is divided into two kinds. First the internal trade which was represented in the markets, the center of the commercial activity. These markets were very varied as aresult of the crops variety. The ways of the internal trade were varied, which connected between the region's cities. The " Seljuks " were also very interested in the external trade of "Kharasan"; because the period of their government represents the gold age at the history of the Islamic Middle Asia. Trade used to direct the economic activity, just like a star which spreads its radiation towards the Islamic countries as: Iran, Iraq, half of China, Asian plains and the countries of Volva at the west. The ways of the external trade were also varied, and this connected "Kharasan" with the other states and the neighbouring regions. The means of transport were varied; horses, camels, mules and donkeys were among the most important means of terrestrial transport. On the level of the maritime transport, Sailing Ships have been used in all its sizes and Shapes. Kharasan was distinguished, during the period of its strong government at the " Seljuks' age", by the variety of crops and industrial production. The specialization in the production and industrialization was very clear in the commercial activity whether on the export or import level.

International Address and its Communicative Mechanisms in the Coordination style (as an Exemple of Entertain ment and companion ship)

This topic sets out from The Rhetorical and linguistic phenomenon of intentional address in the coordination style to contribute in the theoretical and practical treatment of the various situations wherein people communicate among themselves. We have picked up in this respect the subject of entertainment and socializing in that it carries so much connotations as to make it (purposeful) قصدیا in its manifestation of the linguistic and rhetorical conventions it uses in communication. The purpose of the coordination style as it shows from its linguistic applications is to found an informative (purposeful) قصدیا message by means of its underlying communicative situations and its distinctive connectors which conveys layouts of senses in the ways they link and organize discourse. The writer who utilizes the style of coordination relies on the inter dependence of meanings namely that one part of speech is strung onto another that completes its sense by dint of connotations led through connectors according to thematically appropriate subjects: کالاستثناء، والشرط، والصفة، والعطف، والبدل We have built our perception of this issue on data from the usages and visualization of خطاب القصد which is linked to two dimensions: mental dimension and affective one. The mental aspect is obvious in the way which help the rhetoricians get access to the mental whole, فی الاشتراک فی المخبر عنه، أو فی الخبر، أو فی قید من قیودهما، أو تماثل بینهما The affective aspect grammar and logic contribute in through distinguishing القصد from the message by means of connectors of coordination . A number of rhetoricians have profited from the subject of القصد in the style of coordination since it makes a fruitful subject for semantic argumentation and debate as أبی حیان التوحیدی Illustrates in "الإمتاع والمؤانسة and أبو هلال العسکری In his book "دیوان المعانی In these books we find out that the semantic coordination has the force of reasoning whose perception requires explanation ,deduction and awareness of limits and end purposes. Rhetoricians have made use of بالخطاب القصدی to coordinate meanings for different purposes like convictions and statements. They have used it also in cases like : بیان الحد أو المفهوم، التعاریف المتفرعة عن الدلالات المتقابلة للأنواع والأجناس المتقاربة، ثم اتخاذه قصدا استدلالیا، یعتمد على طلب الشاهد فی ضبط المعانی All these are important topics to deal with and analyse linguistically and rhetorically. They are also closely linked with the modern linguistic use

This study is related to the analysis of the narration techniques in the novel "As L and Fasl " which is translated as Start and Origin, and it was written by the novelist Sahar Khalifa who used the novelistic narration to tell us about the conflict of "AaL- Kuhtan" family who inhabited" Nablus City" . The roots of this family originated in the Empty Quarter in the Arabian Peninsula. She started the novel by introducing the characters in its different chapters and she titled some of the chapters deliberately by one of her characters or one of their characteristics and the other chapters are titled by the name of the place where the events of the novel took place. In this novel, the novelist highlighted self conflict, social conflict, political and religious conflict. She has activated the joined and developing events of the novel to show the psychological and social problems and complexes, political obstacles, oppression and injustice which fell on weak people who lived in ignorance which spread among them, legends, and obstructions by the remains of the ancient past. Also, the strong tension of the British mandatory, fraud and hostile plots which were made by Zionist existence against these people. The events of the novel took place at the time of Ottoman's Emperor Disappearance and the remains of that Emperor such as hunger, poverty diseases and treacherous ally who colonized them Instead of giving them their freedom. Not only that, but also donating Zionist existence the right of constructing their own country against the interests of Palestinian people. The setting of this novel took place in three Palestinian cities such as" Nablus, Haifa and Jerusalem" . The language of the novelist is distinguished by poetic narration. She employed the beauty of the rhythm in prose in which beautiful metaphors are used naturally and involuntarily she also employed the Palestinian dialect in the dialogues between the characters. Besides that she used traditional sayings and proverbs from the heritage, she used historical hints mixed by short simple English sentences and some times mixed by Hebrew expressions to suit the situation and the event. She also used the art of reminding the past and anticipating the future in her narration of the story which was provided by an end considered as the beginning point in the real situation that we live in.

On the formulation morphological patterns of Arabic, ancient Arab scholars differed in determining what of the nouns and verbs are bare and what are affixed Basrees regarded that base noun roots may be of three, four, or five consonants; and base verb roots may be of three or four consonants. They pointed out that affixes are the following letters: (s,Ɂ, l, t, m, w, n , j, h, a). Kufees, on the other hand, claimed that base noun and verb roots comprise only three consonants and that any letter above three is an affixed letter. Ibn Faris emphasized that most the three and four letter words are blended from three letter words and that affixes exceed the number claimed by the Basrees amongst which is the /b/ letter. In the modern era, knowledge of scripts of Semitic languages or of what remained alive from those languages such as Syriac and Hebrew helped the scholars of Arabic understand many phenomena that seemed inadequate for the linguistic description to rely on in analyzing these phenomena, especially for ancient Arab scholars. That includes how the four-letter words are formed and developed. This research seeks to provide a new range of words affixed with (b) word initially which were thought of as four-consonant roots while, in fact, they are three-consonant roots.

After the Arab conquest of Egypt that took place in 21 A. H./641-642 A. D., the Copts continued to be skillful in several administrative and economic affairs in addition to so many crafts, professions and industries like woodwork, pottery and textiles. That’s why some Christian decorative elements appeared in the decoration of some of the Islamic artistic collections dating back to the Umayyad and the $´l´n¥dperiods. For this reason, the researcher was interested to study these Christian elements in the $´l´n¥dperiod to analyze its symbolic value in the Christian Egyptian art and in order to know the Coptic art influence on the Islamic art during this era.

Seeking Refuge in the Quotidian: Mary Robinson’s London’s Summer Morning

This paper analyzes London’s Summer Morning (1800), a poem published in the final year of the turbulent life of Mary Robinson (1758-1800), a prominent poet, novelist and actress. This poem seems frivolous in view of Robinson’s repertoire, ranging from typical Romantic poems of great sensibility, to politically charged comments on the French Revolution of 1789, to feminist tracts, novels and autobiography, among others. While criticism has profusely dealt with Mary Robinson’s notoriety for unorthodox morality and her rapport with the canonized, male masters of the Romantic Movement in England, this study is a feminist analysis of Robinson’s interest in the quotidian. Her choice of the detailed depiction of the daily activities of London merchants is a significant one. Robinson departs from Romantic melancholy and political dissent. She makes no transcendental flights of the imagination. Nor does she seek refuge in Nature. Instead, Robinson appears to be retreating from all past suffering into the shell of a domestic scene, recording the minute details which only a woman’s eye can see. Thus, this paper highlights Robinson’s London’s Summer Morning as evidence that Romantic poetry defies categorization. Though the domestic may furnish the exhausted female psyche with a sense of security in the familiar, the question arises as to how far Robinson succeeds in distancing herself from the depicted scene. One wonders how far London’s Summer Morning reflects her own struggle to “sell” herself as a writer, and not as a woman, in the male dominated literary “market”.

The Female “Carnivalesque” and Resisting Patriarchal

The aim of this research is to explore the concept of female resistance to patriarchal oppression in one of Angela Carter’s novels: Night at the Circus. The novel throws light on the lives of oppressed and marginalized women who occupy inferior positions in patriarchal culture. The concept of female resistance in Nights at the Circus is discussed in the light of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the “carnivalesque”, which he introduced in his study on French popular culture in Rabelais and his world. Bakhtin uses the concept of the “carnivalesque” to describe the literary motifs that characterize Francois Rabelais’ writing and which can be traced to popular cultural expressions that surrounded him in the sixteenth century. Bakhtin regards the “carnivalesque” as a liberating anti-authoritarian force that challenges dominant world views and subverts the discourses of “high” culture. The present research demonstrates the role of the female “carnivalesque” in challenging dominant patriarchal culture through the application of three main concepts in Bakhtin’s theory to Carter’s feminist novel: the concept of “heteroglossia” in a language, the image of Rabelaisian clowns, and the notion of physical excess and grotesque body. The research also makes use of Bakhtin/ Volosinov’s theory on the relationship between language and ideology, and provides a historical analysis of the different forms of English spoken language used in the novel. In the final analysis, this research argues for the value of Bakhtin’s theory of the “carnivalesque” in analyzing forms of female subversion of patriarchal authority in works written by women writers.

A Comparative Study.

This research examines the American Adam, the pioneer, as a remarkable image that incorporates the Anglo American tradition. It is a comparative reading of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952) and Maxine Hong Kingston’s Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book (1989). The American Adam is an icon of innocence, perseverance and great expectations. He also signifies individualism. The American Adam endeavours to fulfill the American Dream of abundance and great achievements. This article traces the “polyphonic” dialogues of three American “unmerged” voices with respect to the individualism of the American Adam and his great expectations. Twain acknowledges Huck Finn the American Adam. Huck Finn’s innocence condemns the corrupt hypocrite society which renders him lonely. Such “lonesome” feeling, however, motivates Huck Finn to be a self reliant individual who enjoys the fulfillment of the American Dream.

Inhabiting and Writing from the ‘Third Space’:

This paper argues that HomiBhabha's theory of the "Third Space" offers an apt theoretical framework to critically attempt to define the feminist stance boland adopts in Outside History. The initial argument of the paper is that Boland's foray into feminism is entirely distinguished from the 'separatists'; it resembles the hybrid model Bhabha devised for what he calls the post-colonial 'strategic intellectual'. Similarities between the parameters of both postcolonial and feminist discourses are pointed out at the beginning of the paper, and certain passages from Boalnd's views on feminism are juxtaposed with the basic concepts of Bhabha's theory in an attempt to show that Boland's views are almost a feminist recasting Bhabha's theory of the 'Third Space'. As the paper proceeds in discussing some of poems from outside History, the hybridity of Boland's feminism is illustrated in a variety ways. A feminist reading of poems such as "The Making of an Irish Goddess", "The Achill Woman" and "What we Lost" provides ample instances of what I define as 'Boland's hybrid feminism. A revisionist reading of other poems such as the title poem "Outside History" is also provided in an attempt to further demarcate Boland's feminism from the conventions adopted by the 'separatists'. The paper concludes by redefining Boland's feminism as a stance that attempts to modify woman's status with in the limits and demands of the patriarchal/nationalist society while at the same time managing to create an independent female identity and voice.

This study investigates the perceptions of the Intensive English Program (IEP) among Preparatory Year (PY) students at King Saud University. Specifically, the study explores the following aspects of the program: student perceptions of the IEP; differences among student perceptions based on their college and proficiency level; student perceptions of the IEP’s strengths and weaknesses; and student evaluations of their English language skills. The study employs a quantitative survey method. The results of the study revealed that the students had an overall positive perception where approximately 70% of students perceive the program as effective, beneficial, and useful. In particular, various aspects of teacher performance were evaluated more positively by students than other aspects of the program, such as the effectiveness of the teaching material and academic advising.

La Création Scénique du Rêve

Du conte, la pièce Rêves de Wajdi Mouawad a la brièveté, l’atmosphère onirique ; du symbolisme, le goût pour le mystère et la suggestion. Toute frontière semble donc abolie entre réalité mentale et réalité extérieure, entre perception objective et interprétation subjective, entre visible et invisible. Le théâtre vient du livre tout autant qu’il y conduit ; le livre sort du théâtre et le renferme. Pour ordonner la matière du réel, l’esprit procède par accumulation, fixation et sélection des données venant de l’expérience quotidienne. L’état de veille fournit une matière que le rêve habille en mélangeant le vrai et le faux. Ce dernier, comme le spectacle, prend du monde son capital d’images. Le théâtre crée du sens par raccourci et le rêve travaille comme si une partie des connaissances étaient implicites. La comparaison du rêve avec le théâtre s’étend, jusqu’à prendre en compte la relation entre la représentation et le monde. Dans l’espace onirique, les images se confondent, se séparent, se décomposent, et la vision de tout objet est troublée. Le rêve, considéré comme spectacle, naît d’un certain nombre d’excitations, et il devient à son tour producteur d’excitations.
