: The present study examines the aesthetic features of Sabry Musa’s Lord of the Spinach Field (1987) through Karl-heinz Bohrer’s “Utopia of the Subject” to foreground homo’s quest for a wished-for yet unattainable reality. Post-Colonial Utopianism depicts man’s inner turmoil to force an act of willful rethinking to enhance the “anticipatory con-sciousness” of a better life, a point interrogated within Ernst Bloch’s Principle of Hope to propose the concept of the “Not-Yet-Become”: the not realized futuristic reality. Therefore, the interest is in utopia/dystopia historicities as analytical markers of historical inquiry to analyze specific space/time coordinates; post-colonial pitfalls of a techno-science dystopia. As such, the remarkable characteristic of Post-Colonial Utopianism is critique, and “Subjective Utopia” strives to achieve a breach in the teleological ideology of historical structures; thereby, transformation is the central aesthetic strategy of post-colonial critique.

: This article examines the narrative of resistance to social subordination and the manipulated notions of faithfulness and treason in Hisham Matar’s In the Country of Men (2006) observed through the lens of the child narrator, 9-year-old Suleiman, who grows critical of the patriarchy and power hierarchy of Libyan society’s private and public spheres. In the private sphere, his mother’s retelling of her forced marriage at a young age informs his initial aversion of patriarchy. In the public sphere, the revolutionary Committee’s policing and suppression of dissent, and the neighbor’s public execution amid a cheering crowd, shed light on the dynamics of subservience and divisiveness. Though the novel takes place in 1979 Libya, it raises questions on the possibility of individual agency and rise of the citizen against a post-colonial Arab despotic regime, where patriarchal authoritarianism, rooted in colonial-ism, creates a system of dependency and subjugation that undermines citizens’ power and manipulates faith as a medium of submissiveness. This article concludes with some reflections on the outcomes of 2011 Arab uprisings with regards to active citizenship.

The second edition of Osteoarthritis is a very well documented and illustrated book. The different chapters cover perfectly the most important questions relating to osteoarthri-tis—epidemiology, socioeconomics, genetics, pathogenesis, clinical features, and management both in daily practice and clinical trials. In particular, there are well documented sections on specific investigations such as biological markers, magnetic resonance ima-ging, and ultrasonography. Moreover, two sections evaluate more fully the potential modifiers of cartilage breakdown. This book will be useful for all who are involved in osteoarthritis research and/or in charge of the management of osteoarthritic patients.
