This study seeks to investigate what is known of the history of psychology as a discipline in the Ottoman Empire and examine the context and interpretability of an Ottoman Turkish book on psychology published by Ahmed Nebil and Baha Tevfiq: Psychology, or the Science of the States of the Psyche (1911). Some points along the timeline of the history of Ottoman psychology are identified, and Nebil and Tevfiq’s motivations are analyzed based on their writings and activities and the theory of the personality psychologist Karen Horney. Comparison is made with the “scientific” philological ideas of the Tatar-Ottoman nationalist Yusuf Aqcura.

This article is motivated by recent debates regarding the place of the Swahili esoteric novel. The debates provoked a position which I take, and attempt to clarify here. Some scholars view the Swahili esoteric novel, referred elsewhere as ‘experimental’, ‘new’, ‘polymorphic’ (Bertoncini, 2001, p.125,) as dead. Dead in the sense that experimentators of this genre, have halted writing it altogether. I argue in this paper by presenting two presuppositions. Firstly, that the esoteric novel is indeed evolving. Secondly, that the Swahili esoteric novel is in perpetual oscillation. In this paper, ‘esoteric’ and ‘experimental’ are used interchangeably.

In this paper I introduce Sofi Oksanen, who is one of the most important writers in contemporary Finnish literature. Her novels have been translated into many languages and they have initiated interesting discussions in many countries. The aim of the paper is to introduce her most famous novel Purge as trauma fiction and to analyse the characteristics of this genre in the novel. To make the analysis more understandable, I also give a short summary about the main storyline of the book. I list the consequences of trauma based on the results of psychiatric research, and I give examples of how the symptoms caused by trauma are pictured in Purge. I write shortly about the phenomenon called shame of inferiority and the symbols Sofi Oksanen uses to discuss this feeling. Finally I give an extended view of violence and its causes, and I also mention, how violence influences society as a whole. Finally I discuss the possibilities of healing and the role of trauma fiction and Purge in this process.

This paper will discuss course design using the film Total Recall in a reading class designed for undergraduate students in their fourth year of study in English at a university in Seoul. The purpose was the course was to help the students improve their ability to communicate in English. Use of the film in this class was intended to help students to discuss philosophical concepts raised in the story upon which the film was based. The rationale of the course and its plan will be discussed first as well as the overall context in which the film is used in conjunction with the short story upon which it is based. The material which was presented in English via reading, film, discussion and writing is discussed along with the idea that critical thinking and creativity are closely connected with enhanced ability to think and speak in English. Within the context of this class, which emphasized science fiction, students were asked to identify key ideas and concepts within the material as well as to compare this work with other works and after discussion, to write their views with appropriate support from the films and readings.

Early in 2011, the Arab world witnessed widespread protests against dictator regimes which had been ruling over the people there for many decades; this came to be known as ‘Arab Spring’. This anti-dictatorship wave had different names in the Arab world; mainly the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia and January 25th Revolution in Egypt. This huge event ushered the emergence and the prevailing of a new literary genre in the Arab world, diaries/memories. In this paper, we will survey the memoirs of two prominent Egyptian men of letters, Ibrahim Abdel Meguid and Abdul Rahman Yusuf. We will refer to the different narrative techniques and the type of discourse employed by the authors. We will also examine the role they gave to their narrators and how this influenced the way in which the memoirs were presented to the readers.

In a well-known refutation of the view that children develop their understandings of situations from parts to wholes, Vygotsky noted that children given a picture would produce a much wider range of meanings if they attempted to re-enact it as role play than if they attempted to describe it in words. In this paper, we partially replicate his reduplication of Stern"s picture description task (Vygotskii, 1983: 255) using English materials with Korean children. We encounter three familiar classroom problems: the problem of getting children to put what they have seen into words, the problem of establishing context before understanding text, and the problem of going from a passive understanding to an active one. We approach these problems as moments in the development of three grammatical systems: Transitivity, Thematic Structure, and Mood (Halliday, 2014). We suggest that the entire process, from video to whole class discussion to role play, forms different phases in the full-clause realizations of these systems. We also explore the use of two different “functional methods of dual stimulation” (Vygotskii, 1984: 77) and discover that each has a striking, and strikingly different, effect.

This essay uses Karen Horney’s (1950) concept of the “search for glory” to analyze the Korean soap opera Winter Sonata (2002). It draws on the Japanese animated film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013) to clarify the concept of the search for glory, and employs the literary critic Bernard J. Paris’s (1974, 2012, inter alia) notion of the “implied author” to infer whose search for glory is being presented. Since the analytic framework presented is not established, I argue that support for Horneyan theory can be found in its consilience with the ongoing works in brain science of J. Allan Hobson and his collaborators.
本文运用卡伦·霍尼(Karen Horney, 1950)的“追求荣耀”概念来分析韩剧《冬季恋歌》(Winter Sonata, 2002)。它借鉴了日本动画电影《鹿谷公主的故事》(2013)来阐明追求荣耀的概念，并采用文学评论家伯纳德·j·帕里斯(1974、2012等)的“隐含作者”概念来推断呈现的是谁对荣耀的追求。由于提出的分析框架尚未建立，我认为霍尼安理论的支持可以在J. Allan Hobson及其合作者正在进行的脑科学工作中找到。

The pledge made in 2000 to achieve universal primary education by 2015 has not materialised and in spite of South-Saharan Africa’s governments’ efforts, teacher preparation has been insufficient. This paper discusses the space of teacher education within the national policy and official development assistance nexus in Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda. Based on the analysis of data obtained from the OECD, UNESCO and AidData, this paper suggests that donor’s limited investment in teacher preparation affect the quality of teaching in the six countries studied and argues for a rethinking of international support to their education sector.

This paper critically examines kaleidoscopic setting as a style employed by polymorphic Swahili novelists. It focuses on Babu Alipofufuka (2001), a novel by Said Ahmed Mohammed which is loosely translated as “When grandfather resurrected” or “When grandfather came back to life,” (Olali, 2010, 84). It further attempts to demonstrate how kaleidoscopic setting is juxtaposed with hallucinatory realism in a geographical sense and investigates the complexities of separating realism and hallucinatory realism within a dream state. The paper argues that kaleidoscopic setting as a style is a trend towards narrative experimentation in Babu Alipofufuka and bears distinctive features of postmodernist writing.
