abstract:Coriolanus, the last of Shakespeare's Roman tragedies (1608), continues to draw on the poet's fascination with Rome and the Mediterranean as places. In this article, I explore the impact of Rome on the characters of Coriolanus from three perspectives: place as an incarnation of values, as an internal cognitive and emotional map, and as a nest of belonging.

abstract:Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus presents a vision of Rome in the final years of its power. The fictional central figures seem unable to agree on a stable idea of Rome's identity with the presence of the Goths always in the background. Titus and members of his family turn to classical, primarily Augustan, authors to make sense of their present moment, but in doing so they highlight the end of Rome as a political and military superpower in the Mediterranean.

abstract:Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing and The Winter's Tale share a common setting: Sicily. This article explores what that setting means in the plays by focusing on the issue of hospitality, which gets disrupted. A key element of hospitality is entertainment, which literarily means "to hold together." But fractures occur in Sicily, leading to a breakdown of the social fabric. The center does not hold. In Much Ado about Nothing, for example, the wedding scene in 4.1 should offer the quintessence of joy and hospitality; but it does not, thanks to the machinations of Don Jon and the credulity of Claudio and others. It takes a presumed death to begin the restoration. Similarly, in the Sicilian world of The Winter's Tale hospitality falters completely by the end of 3.2 as Hermione apparently dies and so does the royal son. The remainder of the play seeks a way to re-create an entertaining, hospitable Sicily. Against all odds, such a restoration, portrayed most profoundly in the appearance of Hermione in the final scene, occurs as the fatal country of Sicily recovers the art and grace of hospitality.

abstract:Sea travel was both uncomfortable and hazardous in the late sixteenth century, and even more so for women. Shakespeare's shipwrecked twins in Twelfth Night (1602) grace the stage at a time when sea travel for women was both uncommon and fraught with danger. Seafaring women faced captivity, slavery, and enforced marriage as passengers or the rare sailor aboard captured vessels, and this danger served to actively discourage sea travel for women. Viola, however, is not the first woman literary traveler to shipwreck on the shores of Illyria. Harmonia, wife of Cadmus in Ovid'sMetamorphoses, arrives first. These female travelers' mobility and metamorphosis within their respective tales resist the anticipated resolutions of romance and, in Twelfth Night, festival. Like Harmonia, Viola's Illyrian shipwreck transforms her gender, her shape, and ultimately her identity. Ancient and early modern knowledge of Illyria, the geographic and cultural region, also underscores thematic emphasis on travel and mobility within Twelfth Night. The shipwreck, the cross-dressing, and the lover's complaints all frame Viola as a character from romance. However, by 1602, the maritime might of the English and the rapidly growing seafaring infrastructure also infuse this text. Viola the page-errant is also the early modern woman voyager, a less explored aspect of Viola's crisis of identity on the shores of Illyria.

abstract:This article examines how Bashar al-Assad’s authoritarian regime has used public education to legitimize itself and ground its authority. The Assad regime has always used education as propaganda. Since the start of Syria’s civil war, however, the Assad regime has begun to use textbooks to attack its challengers, display its power, and deny accusations of human rights violations. Because they are compulsory readings in most of Syria’s schools, and are also freely available on the website of Assad’s Ministry of Education, state-sanctioned textbooks reach millions of Syrian citizens and most of the Syrian diaspora. This article investigates the claims to legitimacy in Assad’s textbooks and explores how Assad uses education as part of a systematic process of maintaining control of the country, a process that also includes brute force and unforgiving military power.
