Egypt's Police State In The Work Of Idris And Mahfouz, David F. Dimeo
Egypt's Police State In The Work Of Idris And Mahfouz, David F. Dimeo
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Egypt's Police State in the Work of Idris and Mahfouz" David F. DiMeo examines how two leading twentieth-century authors of politically committed fiction addressed an angry generation's confrontations with former members of the oppressive state police apparatus. Yusuf Idris's The Black Policeman (1962) and Najib Mahfouz's al-Karnak (1974) remain particularly relevant as today's Egyptian activists confront the vestiges of the former regime's security forces. Using Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the carnival as a paradigm for analysis, DiMeo examines how both texts present sharp contrasts between hollow quests for public revenge through purges and a genuine overturning of …
Contemporary Us-American Satire And Consumerism (Crews, Coupland, Palahniuk), J.C. Lee
Contemporary Us-American Satire And Consumerism (Crews, Coupland, Palahniuk), J.C. Lee
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Contemporary US-American Satire and Consumerism (Crews, Coupland, Palahniuk)" J.C. Lee focuses on contemporary satire's potential (or lack thereof) for change, reform, or rebellion through an investigation of works by Harry Crews, Douglas Coupland, and Chuck Palahniuk, all of which target consumerism. The said writers employ satire not to initiate rebellion or cultural change, but to reflect the problematic role of institutions in modern life and, in turn, the potential, even hope, for personal growth. Lee's analysis of texts by Crews, Coupland, and Palahniuk is intended to question satire's potential as a form of cultural critique and institutional …
Evoking A Memory Of The Future In Foer's Everything Is Illuminated, Doro Wiese
Evoking A Memory Of The Future In Foer's Everything Is Illuminated, Doro Wiese
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Evoking a Memory of the Future in Foer's Everything is Illuminated" Doro Wiese discusses Jonathan Safran Foer's novel. In the text a photograph plays a decisive role: the image of two young people drives the Jewish American Jonathan to visit the Ukraine. The photograph is presumably of Jonathan's grandfather Safran and a woman named Augustine who saved Safran's life during a nazi raid of his village: the photograph becomes an ekphrasis, a description of a visual work of art in another medium which transforms the generic characteristics of written and photographic representations. According to Anselm …

Aesthetics In Gao's Soul Mountain, Mabel Lee
Aesthetics In Gao's Soul Mountain, Mabel Lee
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Aesthetics in Gao's Soul Mountain" Mabel Lee analyses Nobel Laureate 2000 Xingjian Gao's aesthetics. Transnational conglomerates today control the book industry from publishing house to bookshop and through aggressive market strategies they exert considerable influence on readers. Nonetheless, there are writers who refuse to capitulate to market demands and seek only to actualize their aesthetic ideas in the creation of literary texts. One such writer is Gao, author of the novel Soul Mountain. Lee posits that Gao's aesthetics is founded on the close interrogation of both Chinese and European models and practices and explores specific …
Metaphor Translation As A Tool Of Intercultural Understanding, Ipshita Chanda
Metaphor Translation As A Tool Of Intercultural Understanding, Ipshita Chanda
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Metaphor Translation as a Tool of Intercultural Understanding" Ipshita Chanda takes up specific cases of metaphor translation as a methodological exercise towards understanding intercultural exchange. Chanda's study is based on a semiotic and linguistic understanding of metaphor as a signifying and cognitive device. When a metaphor is translated from one linguistic-literary field into another, the process of translation itself yields some specific operational steps for studying inter- and cross-cultural relations. Here, translation is not proposed as a framework but as practical method: the translation of metaphor becomes an exercise in strategy for the pedagogy of …
Victims Of The City In Novels Of Zola And Dostoevsky, Marta L. Wilkinson
Victims Of The City In Novels Of Zola And Dostoevsky, Marta L. Wilkinson
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Victims of the City in Novels of Zola and Dostoevsky" Marta Wilkinson argues that urbanity in its nineteenth-century setting functioned as the culpable agent in criminal behavior found in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and in several of Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels. Wilkinson an analysis of the novels based on Merlin Coverly's concept of psychogeography which supports the extension of the cityscape as an integral part of the novels' characters. Further, Wilkinson illustrates how in Zola's and Dostoevsky's novels the city reigns triumphant as characters fall victim to disease, drink, or are left with desperate choices: in Dostoevsky's novel …
Barthelme's "Paraguay," The Postmodern, And Neocolonialism, Daniel Chaskes
Barthelme's "Paraguay," The Postmodern, And Neocolonialism, Daniel Chaskes
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Barthelme's 'Paraguay,' the Postmodern, and Neocolonialism," Daniel Chaskes explores the analytic opportunities afforded by conjoining globalizing critical approaches with a story by an author who has often been circumscribed by the postmodern rubric. Donald Barthelme's "Paraguay," written the summer after Nelson Rockefeller's fact-finding mission to South America in 1969, provides a chance to consider modes of anti-colonial critique in Barthelme's work. It also offers examples of a more self-reflective criticism aimed at the U.S. counterculture and the indeterminacies of postmodernism. Chaskes reads "Paraguay" with the aim of understanding Barthelme's hemispheric interest and he investigates the multiple cultural …

Networking Library Services: Experience With The Electronic Library Store, Richard Widdicombe
Networking Library Services: Experience With The Electronic Library Store, Richard Widdicombe
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
In 1993, when the library at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ became the first to stop all journal subscriptions there was fear among the faculty and intrigue in the library community world-wide. Three years later, we can demonstrate an enormous success in changing the library role and perception with its user community. Information delivery, in many ways, is far superior to the warehouse model of the past. The emergence of Web technology has also helped advance the goals of our "electronic library model." We shall outline the steps taken, the positive effect it had on our user community …

From Rapdoc To Webdoc: An Evaluation Of The Pica-Rapdoc Project And An Introduction To The New Pica-Webdoc Project, Gerard Van Marle
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
At the IATUL Conference in Tallinn in 1992 a report was presented about a new PICA project: RAPDOC. Information was presented about the reasons to start the project, its objectives, finances and project planning as well as information about the underlying interlibrary loan analysis in The Netherlands. The RAPDOC project officially came to an end on October 1, 1995. A project evaluation will be presented as well as the future usage of the obtained results. In the same year when the RAPDOC project came to an end, a new PICA project was launched: the PICA-WEBDOC project. In December 1995 an …

Information As A Revenue-Generating Commodity In The Context Of Malaysia, Rosna Taib
Information As A Revenue-Generating Commodity In The Context Of Malaysia, Rosna Taib
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
In a knowledge-based society, there is a demand for information. University libraries with their vast resources could meet this demand and in certain situations create the demand for information. In Malaysia which aspires to be an industrialized nation by the year 2020, many university and research libraries have responded to this growing demand. Eight of the universities and institutions of higher learning which have been fully subsidized by the Government in the past will be corporatized in 1996. The reasons for corporatization are many, among them to allow flexibility in the management of the institutions, including finance. The library, being …
