Abstract:

The western image of Turks has changed throughout history in Europe especially in the Balkans, Central and East Europe since the countries in these regions are directly exposed to the sieges, invades and attacks of the Ottomans as frontiers. Even though the image evolves to a softer position due to the changeable strategies and policies of the countries, the metaphor is utilised in order to mythicize the past for an interpretation of the current situation. The image of Turks and the effects of the Ottomans have played a crucial role in the countries which encounter them as frontiers directly a

Partimos de um trabalho com um corpus inicial composto por alguns romances selecionados da trajetória ficcional do autor.

Abstract:

Abstract In retrospect, the turning point in the Kildare rebellion came with the rebels’ failure to capture Dublin, and the ordnance, shot and powder in the king's castle there, during the long siege in summer and autumn 1534, in part because, as this article argues, the city's capture had not initially been seen as an immediate priority. Kildare kept back most of his ordnance and gunners to defend Maynooth castle, and historians have focused instead on the brief siege and capture of Maynooth by the king's army in March.

Laurell Hamilton in her “Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter Series” portrays a large community of monstrous creatures that populate a violent near-future American landscape. A number of critics have already explored the forms in which Anita, the leading heroine, emerges in the 1990s literary scene as a strong figure who challenges traditional narratives of female subordination and alters predictable romantic entanglements with the male protagonists (Crawford 2014; Veldman-Genz 2011; Siegel 2007; Holland-Toll 2004).

It argues that, despite their differences, these two models of cybermasculinity suggest a technofetishization of the white, heterosexual male body in a discourse of postmodernism where the privilege of that identity is purportedly under

Abstract: The article focuses on past epidemics and previous confinements, looking for the art of journeying through immobility. It rekindles the plague that ravaged the city of Turin in the 1630s, as well as Xavier de Maistre who, confined in the military citadel in 1790, wrote the Voyage autour de ma chambre, perhaps the first example of modern ‘anodeporics’, a neologism to designate immobility travelogues. The essay then explores other pandemics and subsequent attempts at imitating De Maistre. First, it concentrates on Wilkie Collins, the author of the 1852 short story “A Terribly Strange B

Abstract:

<strong>This research paper explores the nuanced representation of womanhood in postcolonial India through the lens of Kamala Markandaya’s fiction, with special reference to <em>Nectar in a Sieve</em>, <em>The Nowhere Man</em>, and <em>Two Virgins</em>. Markandaya, a seminal voice in Indian English literature, crafts female characters who inhabit the margins of a society grappling with rapid socio-political change. Rather than overt rebellion, her protagonists exhibit quiet resilience and subtle forms of resistance in their struggle against patriarchy, poverty, cultural displacement, and

Agamben, Sh. Felman, D.

Bayezid vas the first Sultan who realized the importance of a naval strategy for the Ottoman Empire. II. Bayezid realized that this progress could only be sustained if there was a naval power that dominated the high seas.

Abstract:

Throughout the pandemic, we have witnessed the channelling of affective intensities into demonstrations, sieges, and violent outbursts underpinned by far right-wing populism, including the siege of Capitol Hill, counter-BLM protests and so-called “anti-hygienic protests” against lockdowns and public health measures. These outbursts, as sensational manifestations of the more general turn to populism, attest to the urgency of understanding the structures of feelings underlying populist logic and the affective tactics used to spread them. The intensification of these affects by the pandemic and c

Abstract:

This is a piece of experimental multi-perspectival writing in which four different personae adopt different methods and intellectual relationships to writing as a means of research, by using the topics of fiction, counterfactual history and not-being. The narrative line is provided by a novelist who retells Saramago’s The History of the Siege of Lisbon. In Saramago’s novel a wayward proof-reader mischievously adds the word “not” to the historical account, creating a fictional, counterfactual history. This “bringing into being” of a fiction – of what didn’t actually happen – sets in train a ser

Narrative tools like the stream of consciousness technique, flashback technique, and storytelling elements, which have clear morals for society. The crisis of identity plays a pivotal role in In Times of Siege. Her stories are complete with recounting of various kinds of inequalities and power struggles.

Abstract:

When considering Gascoigne’s 1572 masque, scholars often point out the poet’s ingenuity in connecting the surname of his patron with the Montagues and Capulets of the Romeo and Juliet story and in interweaving that fictional feud with two historical events which had recently taken place in the Mediterranean: the siege of Famagusta and the Battle of Lepanto. Building on this work, this essay revisits the sociopolitical premises of Gascoigne’s text, emphasizing their transnational character and considering how the triangulation of Englishness, Catholicism, and the dehumanization of the Turks fit

IntroductionIt has been nearly half a century since the appearance of Susan Sontag’s landmark essay “The Imagination of Disaster.” The critic wrote of the public fascination with science fiction disaster films, claiming that, on the one hand “from a psychological point of view, the imagination of disaster does not greatly differ from one period in history to another [but, on the other hand] from a political and moral point of view, it does” (224). Even if Sontag is right about aspects of the imagination of disaster not changing, the types, frequency, and magnitude of disasters and their repres

Abstract:

It is a well-known fact that warfare and obligatory military service system long played decisive role in the formation of modern nation-states, first in Europe and later elsewhere in the world. While externally the military prowess of a given state was (and still is) decisive for defining its place in a competitive international system explicitly based upon an equilibrium of military force and hegemonic interstate relations,1 internally conscription-based national armies formerly served as main pillars of the state, linking conscript-age able-bodied males with the nationalist ethos1 and accult
