Full textAbstract:
Eugenio Barba's work with Odin Teatret, and more recently with the International School of Theatre Anthropology, has always been substantiated by a body of developed critical theory, and in NTQ he has specifically developed his ideas about the nature of the actor's work in relation to its energies and their origins in experience and social ritual. In NTQ1 (1985), he outlined the problems involved in analyzing theatre-works rooted in performance rather than the written word; in NTQ4 (1985) he discussed his concept of the ‘dilated body’, through which the performed taps the wellsprings of art and experience; and in NTQ16 (1988), he expanded his idea of the ‘body-in-life’, describing the balance of energies which is essential for the actor to be fully realized. Here, he looks at the way in which the body is falsely perceived as the ‘actor's instrument’, as somehow separate from himself, and discusses the processes of ‘inculturation’ and ‘acculturation’ – which give the actor a true ‘second-nature’, and distinguish his work as ‘ritual in search of a meaning’.

Full textAbstract:
Nous proposons dans cette contribution de nous intéresser aux effets du terrorisme sur la société dépeinte dans Le Serment des barbares, premier roman de l’écrivain algérien Boualem Sansal. Dans cette fiction, l’auteur décrit une société quotidiennement soumise au terrorisme, un fléau qui vient s’ajouter à une histoire nationale parsemée de politiques dévastatrices pour l’équilibre social. Nous verrons dans cet article comment le terrorisme fait suite à une succession de traumatismes historiques qui agissent simultanément sur le quotidien et les imaginaires d’une société qui tente de résister à ces multiples violences qui lui sont imposées. Les blessures du terrorisme dans Le Serment des barbares viennent se rajouter aux séquelles encore palpables du colonialisme et des politiques oppressantes pour le citoyen menées après l’indépendance. Nous verrons comment cette succession de violences agit comme un facteur de dépossession sur l’individu et la société.

Full textAbstract:
The political partition of India in 1947 into a truncated India and the dominion of Pakistan witnessed a wave of forced migration, hitherto unseen in human history. The alteration of a singular national space into two separate nation-states based on religious identities forced the movement of almost twelve million people, in search of a new homeland. Although this exodus was experienced differently based on socio-economic backgrounds—unfortunately in ways akin to any violent transition—women formed the most susceptible ground to the rigours of the Partition. Gross and barbarous acts of violence perpetuated against women were derived from a hypermasculinized nationalist ideology: one that perceived women’s bodies as sites where national and religious identities needed to be forcibly inscribed. Partition historiography, however, has frequently privileged only the political circumstances and elided the traumatic human micro-histories, which dominated and continue to impinge on postcolonial subjectivities. This article explores a key facet of Partition history, which has often been relegated to the footnotes of both political and social narratives: transitory rehabilitation camps established primarily for the recovery of female refugees. Through an analysis of non-fictional testimonies and selected Partition fiction, I demonstrate how the transformation of these refugee rehabilitation camps—from transitory non-places into referential spatial locations or places—was facilitated through the quotidian performances of the female Partition Refugee.

Full textAbstract:
Scholars of Russian-American relations in the late nineteenth century have long been concerned with the personalities and writings of university-based experts, journalists, diplomats, and political activists. We are well acquainted with the observations of various American commentators on the backward state of Russian state, society, economy, and politics. While the activities of prominent men such as George Kennan have effortlessly dominated the historical agenda, the negative discourses that they produced about Russia have subsumed other important American representations of the country. Since the period of early modern history, European travelers had seen Russia as a barbarous land of slave-like people, responsive only to the persuasions of the whip and the knout wielded by an autocratic tsar. Subsequently, Larry Wolff has shown that Voltaire and other Enlightenment philosophers created images of a despotic and backward Eastern Europe in order to validate the idea of a progressive, enlightened, and civilized Western Europe.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, I explore male writers’ attitudes towards corruption and women in fairy tales and detective novels, by means of hermeneutically scrutinising works of Zheng Yuanjie, the illustrious ‘King of Fairy Tales’, as well as Zijin Chen, the ‘Chinese Keigo Higashino’. Anti-corruption is a prevalent and preponderant theme in both writers’ creation, yet their depictions of barbarous extrajudicial punishment for government officials’ misdeeds allude to karmic retribution and are prone to expatiation in graphic detail. Therefore, some of their fiction appertaining to anti-corruption can be regarded as ‘feel-good writing’ in essence. Furthermore, the writing of Zheng and Chen is sometimes featured by lack of feminist consciousness, in that a proportion of their works manifest gender stereotypes, which can also be attested in other male writers’ fairy tales and detective novels.

Full textAbstract:
Alliance with tsarist Russia during the First World War presented a propaganda challenge for the British government: many believed that to support Russia against Germany was to support a barbarous nation against its own subjects, and to risk tipping the balance of power in Europe away from democracy. Russian literature was strategically deployed by the War Propaganda Bureau as evidence of Russia’s civilization, and writers and critics were marshalled to overturn the anti-tsarist interpretations of Russian literature put in place by the Russian populists. Russian literature now appeared in a new guise, read not through realism but symbolism, a movement introduced to Britain through the performances of the Ballets Russes, the travel writings of Stephen Graham, and reappraisals of Dostoevsky’s writings. The chapter concludes by examining the fiction of D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, and John Middleton Murry, which resists wartime propaganda, and finds in Russian literature a critique of Western civilisation and its war.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Khan’s famous utterance actually may have lost some of its sting in the translation-probably by design, in order to make it more palatable for sensitive Westerners. Such likely cleansing seems duly corrected, however, by contemporary fiction. Events that accord with the barbarian’s formula for the grandest of bliss have become mainstream entertainment in the so-called free world. They are laid open and featured in the raw, with pains taken to depict the cruelest of cruelties and the goriest of gore, along with the most profane linguistic concoctions imaginable. Granted that most modern storytelling still clings to protagonists who have retained some moral inhibitions and even pursue the common good to a degree, the blockbuster success stories tend to present barbarous villains who, like ancient emperors, see no wrong in vanquishing those who get in their way, as well as in taking possession of whatever those others cherish, including their lovers and loved ones.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract “It appeared she had brought the memorabilia of a lifetime-and of the time that reached beyond her small life-and dumped it in a confused “heap in the room. It expressed her: the struggle for coherence, the hope and desire for reconciliation of her conflicting parts, the longing to truly know and accept herself” (401). This description of the semi-chaos of Merle Kinbona’s room in Paule Marshall’s The Chosen Place, The Timeless People (New York: Vintage, 1969) echoes the museumlike quality of the fictive Bourne Island where the narrative unfolds-a place “where one not only felt that other time existing intact, still alive, a palpable presence beneath the everyday reality, but saw it as well at every turn, often without realizing it. Bournehills .might have been selected as the repository of the history which reached beyond it to include the hemisphere north and south” (402). Written over twenty-five years ago, this novel by an African American woman with familial roots in Barbados explores issues of race, history, and identity that also inform more recent texts about the African diaspora and its roots/routes in the Middle Passage and slavery.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter you are introduced to two fictional characters, Paul and Molly, who need help with very different problems and who are intended to represent the wide range of emotional difficulties encountered by people referred to community mental health teams. Paul is a young man of Afro- Caribbean descent who has become isolated and withdrawn over a period of time. Paul’s family are concerned and upset about his deterioration and he has been referred to community mental health services by his family doctor. Molly is a young woman who has been leading quite a stressful life; although successful in material terms, she has been experiencing anxiety and panic. This chapter demonstrates how practising community mental health nurses (CMHNs) might work with Paul and Molly in the process of assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the care planned alongside emerging mental health issues. The first person we meet in this chapter is Paul, a young man who is referred to the community mental health team following concerns raised by his family about his changed behaviour. As well as being concerned for Paul’s welfare, this section also prompts us to consider how we might work alongside his family, in this case, his mother Charmaine and his sister Caroline Paul is 21 years old. He lives with his parents, Joshua and Charmaine, and his 18-year-old sister, Caroline. Both Paul’s parents came to the UK in 1971 from Barbados and they try to go back ‘home’ once a year to stay in touch with their extended family. They have lived in a three-bedroom house in Birmingham for the past 15 years. Joshua is 55 years old, a tool setter at an engineering factory, and Charmaine works part-time as a care assistant at a local nursing home. Caroline is currently doing A-levels and hopes to go to university. Joshua and Charmaine regularly attend at a Christian church, and are very proud of both their children, but would like them to be a little more respectful and attend the church more regularly.
