It deals with how Forder depicts the Arabs.
This essay by and large revises the historically acknowledged notion that Kipling is an Indian-influenced author as postcolonial reassessments of Kipling’s oeuvre have tended to focus primarily on Kipling’s relationship with the British Empire and India. In drawing on Intertextuality, Historicism, Said’s Orientalism, and Bhabha’s ambivalence, the e...
In using Edward Said's Orientalism (1978), which analyzes how Western writers misrepresent the Orient, this study examines how Flecker gloomily depicts Haroun Al-Rasheed, known as one of the most famous Caliphs in Arab history. In so doing, this paper explores Flecker's and other Orientalists' attitudes towards Islam and Islamic figures. This paper...
This paper argues that the story of Solomon and Azrael is originally Arabic. This story, transmitted in the West through translations, (so to speak) invades even English-language poetry. Surprisingly, seven English-language poets in the nineteenth century either translated or adapted this story. Neither this story nor those poets have been consider...
This study aimed at identifying Jordanian media communicator's assessment of the adoption level of the principles of media quality management within three kinds of institutions (press and news agencies, radio, television and on line journalism). Having reviewed quality management literature and literature on the principles of media professional per...
In using a feminist archetypal approach, this essay is intended to shed some light on specific archetypal patterns in Chaucer’s The Merchant’s Tale and seven Arabic tales. This essay argues that there are some primordial, universal and recurrent archetypes which connect those texts together. In so doing, this essay investigates how those archetypes...
There is a strong affinity between Kipling and Islam. Kipling's preoccupation with Islam has been the focus of few studies. In building on those studies and in being inspired by Post-structural assumptions concerning the possibility of creating a multi-faceted interpretation of a text by utilizing a variety of perspectives, and the rejection of a s...
This study aims to identify Jordanian journalists’ awareness of the basic concepts of journalistic professionalism by addressing four sets of media quality standards, as abstracted from several studies. Notable among those sets are journalistic content standards, the performance quality standards of newsrooms, institutional standards, and standards...
In treating James Elroy Flecker’s ‘War Song of the Saracens’ as an example of Gerard Genette’s transtextuality, this article argues that Flecker’s poem is not only influenced by but actually derived from the poetry of Antara Ibn Shaddad. The article investigates the paratextual and hypertextual aspects of Flecker’s poem in order to show how this po...
This essay examines the images of the night in Shakespeare’s sonnets and in the poetry of Antara Ibn Shaddad. It explores
how these two poets identify the night with sleeplessness, aloofness, loneliness, night birds, dreams, old age and death.
Doing so, it suggests that the two poets, despite of their cultural backgrounds, and of the boundaries of...
This paper aims at examining how far Wilfrid Scawen Blunt's, 'The Stealing of the Mare', represents what might, broadly speaking, be called the local color of the Bedouins, and highlights the significance of the Oriental myth in that epic. It solely examines the romance of Abu Zeyd Al-Hillali. The paper further decodes the customs, superstitions, h...
Using Said`s Orientalism, this paper investigates Whittier’s portrayal of Petra. In its discussion of Whittier’s representation of Petra, it examines how Eurocentric dialectics and Orientalism operate in his poetic consciousness. In particular, it analyzes the main traits of his Eurocentric discourse in “The Rock in El-Ghor.” It, moreover, argues t...
This study is mainly concerned with Georgian representations of the Islamic Orient. In placing it in a Saidian framework, it investigates how James Elroy Flecker’s Hassan treats the Islamic motifs. This play constructs the Orient as a network of destructive sexuality, alluring wealth, astonishing superstitions, and wonder in the exotic and the unfa...
The main purpose of this essay is to examine the obstacles that modern adaptors encounter when filming Shakespeare’s plays, particularly Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra. This essay argues that in trying to overcome the problems of the text, the language, poetry and stage convention, filmmakers have developed certain techniques in order to enable t...
