This article explores literary representations of fluidity in the novel Maryam: Keeper of Stories (Maryam al-Ḥakāyā) by the Lebanese writer ʿAlawiyya Ṣubḥ. It discusses the subtle ways in which the form and imagery as well as the thematic focus of the novel all contribute to establishing and further illuminating the fluid boundaries between telling, writing and becoming. It explores how the blurring of the lines between storytelling and writing, between the past and the present, between the author and the character, and, last but not least, between the creation of a work of literature and the construction of the subject, all play a vital role in creating the narrative flow that transcends rigidity of structure in favour of the fluidity of structuration. To this end the article also provides an extensive discussion on the role of water symbolism present in the novel, which further enhances the notion of fluidity that is sustained not only through the structuration and plotting but also through the imagery employed throughout the novel.

This study examines kingship and chieftaincy issues in Orile-Igbon and Ibadan with a view to enunciating emergent challenges in Yoruba kingship culture. It explains the Yoruba perspective on kingship, using socio-historical and anthropological methods of data collection. The analyses are done qualitatively; the study explains the epistemology of the Yoruba kingship system as a culture that has been overwhelmed by a westernized structure which created issues of contestation that challenge Yoruba kingship as an institution. The article seeks to contribute to kingship scholarship in particular and to research in the humanities in general.

This article analyses the activities of pirates and measures to prevent piracy during the Nguyen Dynasty (Vietnam) in the Central Sea in the nineteenth century. The research is based on an analysis of original sources compiled by historians of the Nguyen Dynasty. The results show that piracy was quite common in the East Sea in the nineteenth century. Pirates originated mainly from neighbouring countries such as China, Japan and Indonesia. The study also shows that the Nguyen Dynasty applied many measures to prevent piracy and it achieved practical results. The results of the research not only contribute to clarifying the history of maritime security in the nineteenth century but also suggest recommendations to ensure maritime security in the East Sea nowadays.

By 10 June 1967 Israel was in occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and the West Bank of the River Jordan. The effect on all three countries was devastating, but especially for Jordan, which lost a third of its population and its prime agricultural land, and control of the Islamic and Christian sites in Jerusalem. The enormity of the defeat brought about a great change in the attitude of the Palestinians, a large number of whom now became convinced that the Arab regimes were either unable or unwilling to liberate Palestine. The Palestine Liberation Organization’s new tactics began to pose a severe threat to the continuation of the Jordanian monarchy, so in 1970 its guerrillas were driven out of Jordan. Over the next few years the Jordanian government gradually reasserted its authority over the country. Jordan did not participate in the war of October 1973. However, King Ḥusayn, along with his fellow Arab leaders, was obliged to recognize the PLO as the “sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people” at the Rabat Arab summit in October 1974, which inevitably diminished both his authority, and much of what was left of his appeal, on the West Bank.

This contribution reports on results of multidisciplinary research in Duweym Wad Haj in January and February 2022. The archaeological excavations focused on the internal structures and architecture of the old mosque and discovered eleven residuals of bases of pillars and/or columns of a riwaq . These results indicate the existence of the riwaq along all the perimeter walls, with a different number of arcades along each wall, which enclosed an open internal yard. The soil survey confirmed a ca 7 metres high eolian dune below the old mosque, without traces of any significant settlement down to a depth of ca 5.5 m. Research on the mudbricks and construction of the old mosque confirmed its irregular plan, due to the orientation of the qibla wall and the making of mudbricks sourced from both local and imported material. Analysis of ceramics indicated the presence of pottery largely from the Funj period. Samples taken during the season will be subject to further research.
