Muslimah Creativity, Piety, and Solidarity in Mohja Kahf’s Hagar Poems by Hasnul Insani Djohar, Willy Oktaviano, Mira Utami

“…In doing so, Kahf uses the strategies of juxtaposition, humor, and irreverence by connecting Muslimah ancient leaders to her contemporary speakers who are crisscrossing Islamic traditions and American popular culture. By engaging with postcolonial and gender studies with the frameworks of leadership and Islamic studies, this paper investigates how Kahf’s women juxtapose ancient folkloric tales and American popular cultures, both to establish their multiple identities and leadership and to illuminate contemporary resonances of ancient Muslimah leaders in the eyes of subsequent generations. …”

Cadrage, décadrage et recadrage dans Baa Baa Black Sheep : A Jungle Tale de David Malouf et Michael Berkeley by Jean-Philippe Heberlé

“…Both Malouf’s endeavour and Berkeley’s, through the music, aims at deconstructing the preposterous oldest transpositions of The Jungle Books and at focusing on the key elements of Kipling’s famous book, notably identity and hybridism, two important themes of colonial and postcolonial literature. The aim of David Malouf and Michael Berkeley is to address an adult audience and show that The Jungle Books are not only aimed at children as Disney’s or Baden Powell’s appropriations of the work could wrongly make us believe.…”

L’ḥarga e le sue bruciature. Riflessioni sulla migrazione “irregolare” tunisina a partire da alcune note etnografiche by Carmelo Russo

“Dissociating Form and Meaning in Bilingual Creative Writing and Creative Translation Workshops” by Sara GREAVES, Marie-Laure SCHULTZE

“…Naturally some self-reflexive dislocating of form and meaning has to be undertaken by the teachers, who may wonder “who” they should be – teachers or readers of creative fiction – when faced with their students’ productions.
