Historicity of Oppressive Power and Identity
This comparative study between Orwell’s Animal Farm (AF) (1945) and Abulhawa’s Mornings in Jenin (MIJ) (2010) aims to underscore the dynamics of victimhood and oppression, emphasizing how the oppressed can switch roles and become the oppressor due to complex political, ontological and psychological mechanisms. Fanon’s analysis of the collective consciousness of the victim and the oppressor helps to clarify the underlying structures that drive the…
Intersecting Oppressions, Diverging Forms
This study presents a comparative analysis of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own ( AROO ) (1929) and Alice Walker's The Color Purple ( TCP ) (1983), examining how each author, through distinct genres, portrays women's struggles to transform oppressive realities. Woolf's extended study stresses White women's need to be intellectually and financially independent within patriarchal systems, whereas Walker's epistolary novel demonstrates how Black …
The Textual vs the Contextual
This article reads Love Again (1992), the last poem written by contemporary Palestinian poet Walid Saif based on Heidegger’s concept of the Dasein as detailed in Being and Time and his concept of art as detailed in “The Origin of the Work of Art” as well as in other of his works. In Love Again “togetherness,” which is the essence of the Dasein, dissolves completely into the kind of being of “the Others”. Heidegger’s definition of “the truth of be…

Feminism and popular culture in the Lebanese series “Half Past Five”
Half-Past Five (Khamseh w Nos) (KN) is a Lebanese series that achieved a high viewership rate in the Arab world when premiered during Ramadan 2019 on widely watched Arabic television stations. Although KN focuses on a woman’s (Bayan’s) philanthropic work, achievements, and sufferings in a male-dominated space, we contend that the series still permeates with strong patriarchal tendencies. The lack of a collective feminist consciousness and the pre…
Neural Machine Translation
The neural machine translation (NMT) revolution is upon us. Since 2016, an increasing number of scientific publications have examined the improvements in the quality of machine translation (MT) systems. However, much remains to be done for specific language pairs, such as Arabic and English. This raises the question whether NMT is a useful tool for translating text from English to Arabic. For this purpose, 100 English passages were obtained from …
Twitter Use and its Impact on Public Attitudes Toward Bank Robberies in Jordan
This study examines the influence of Twitter as a social media network on public punitive attitudes toward bank robbers in Jordan. After fifteen bank robberies were committed in Jordan over two weeks in 2018, social networks were flooded with comments from Jordanians expressing their attitudes and opinions about the incidents. Individuals' tweets from January to August 2018 were analyzed in order to reveal people's attitudes toward the crimes, ex…
Foreigners to Kristeva
Julia Kristeva, an influential 20th- and 21st-century thinker, adopts an approach to religion that distinguishes between Islamic and Christian belief systems. She argues that, unlike the Christian God, the God of Islam is preeminent and abstracted from worldly affairs and human experience. This thesis reinforces a general notion that Europeans typically defend Western culture against the assumed assault of others/Muslims. This article examines Kr…
The question of Arab "identity" in Amin Maalouf's Les Desorientés
In Les Desorientés (2013), the Lebanese French author Amin Maalouf calls attention to the chaotic conditions in Lebanon since the civil war and in other Arab countries in the aftermath of the “Arab Spring”. This article argues that Maalouf depicts a situation which could be either apocalyptic or promisingly generative. The protagonist, Adam, is an empathetic observer who sustains a dialogue with different types of otherness and identity, includin…
Approaches to reading intercultural communication in the Qur'an and the politics of interpretation
The Qur'an depicts fluctuating relations between Muslims and non-Muslims. While at times such relations can be conciliatory and harmonious, at others they are inimical, uneasy, or distant. Still, the Qur'an acknowledges the necessary ontological reality of the human difference. This is evidenced in many verses. Thus, I will argue that an "attentive" and "worldly" reading of the Qur'an is crucial to curb misunderstanding of the way 'difference' is…
