Children: Memories, Fantasies and Narratives: From Dilemma to Complexity
The media devotes much space to heated discussions concerning children, child abuse, the neglect of children, and the &s;drop&s; in childrens&s; educational standards. These discussions are frequently unsubstantiated, however, by knowledge of and debate about the nature of childhood and the specificity of child development. The call to listen to voices of children may assume either the similarity of children to adults or the essential differences…

Postcolonial subjectivity: Masculinity, shame, and memory
Egypt in 1952 was poised to overthrow the past and make a fresh and vigorous future. The revolutionary coup instigated and led by a group of Army Officers succeeded in overthrowing the monarchy and severely undermining British rule and influence. The hopes following this dramatic event were not borne out as the early successes did not lead to a more dynamic future. Instead, corruption continued, the economy declined, industry did not flourish, an…

Children's Imaginings and Narratives: Inhabiting Complexity
Drawing on two studies of children aged between seven and 10 years this article explores their narratives of themselves, families, sibling and peer relationships. Their narratives were full of push-pull and contradictory processes. The children moved towards knowledge as well as a disavowal of 'reality' about their families and material conditions. Critically they revealed profound wishes for something better alongside the knowledge that 'this is…

This article focuses on an exploration of the intertwined relationship between coloniser and colonised subjects. These political, social and emotional relationships with historical roots persist in the present and draw upon deeply held fantasies, strong emotions and intense belief systems. These entrenched states are not external to subjectivity, a matter of politics that can be projected outwards, but rather are profoundly internalised and const…

Issue 69: The Realm of the Possible: Middle Eastern Women in Political and Social Spaces
Equal Opportunities Matter
Through exploring the dynamics in two different seminar groups with undergraduates the paper analyses the dynamics that arise in teaching situations. The emphasis is on the communications and fantasies that occur across axis of ethnicity and class. Drawing upon a theoretical framework the paper argues that emotional and moral recognition is based on placing self and other on a difference/similarity spectrum
Exile and Asylum: Women Seeking Asylum in ‘Fortress Europe
Reading the Other Women, Feminism, and Islam
This essay focuses on the complex gendered particularities of the Arab region (including Iran). The debate between Islamic feminists and secular feminists is explored. Islamic feminists claim that liberation for men and women lies in following the Islamic faith and it is Islam that provides the best protection for women. Secular feminists argue for the separation of religion from civil society and the State. The essay explores the inextricable li…

Narrative and Fantasy in Adoption
Adoption touches on basic personal and cultural narratives, emotions and fantasies surrounding the self and family. Amal Treacher and ***Ilan Katz explore the narratives of all those involved in the process — both professionals and those with personal investments. They draw on contemporary theory of narrative and psychoanalytic theory of fantasy in order to explore and understand some of the issues arising in adoption. A central contention is tha…
