One has to distinguish revolutionary situations, with a multitude of conflict forms, from revolutionary outcomes. Also one should consider the options for development granted by different forms of political authority. Sultanist rule here allows for only highly limited perspectives. Such a form of political authority is focused only on the ruler and his entourage. There is no developing of encompassing and persistent institutions that would allow for smooth political change and the provision of public goods characteristic of democratic order. Numerous other theoretical elements are drawn on in assessing the chances of transformation and possible scenarios. Population pressures by an extremely young and mostly unemployed or underemployed population and the lack of a regional power are two of the crucial burdens. Further, one finds persistent cultural-religious cleavages The Arab monarchies from Morocco to Saudi-Arabia have reacted with very limited political concessions and welfare payments to buy off protest sentiments. Thus far they could avoid regime failure as occurred to the more Sultanist regimes in Libya and Syria. In the second portion of this manuscript the security implications of the failed Arab spring are addressed in regional and global terms.展开更多

The Chrysanthemums was considered to be one of his finest short stories which has become progressively more influential in gender studies during the following decades. As the protagonist, Elisa unfolds herself in front of the readers about her rebellion and submission to the reigning patriarchal ideology. In the paper, I try to present Elisa's mind journey in a male-dominating society, using gender studies analysis. The theme of this story is to describe women's position in a male-centered and controlled culture. In order to give a most justifiable analysis of the theme of this short story, I base my study of Elisa's mind journey on the prospective of gender studies.展开更多

They all lived in the same period and have similarities in miserable experience and personality. However, due to their different growing experiences, family environments, and the degrees of education they received, they have different views on the concept and manner of females'independence and equality, the concept of love and the manner of rebellion. That leads to two totally different destinies. In this paper, it attempts to analyze the images of Jane Eyre and Tess in terms of these aspects.展开更多

Greatly influenced by Anton Chekhov, her writing fmnly fixed on the small details of human behavior. She created her best works in the early 1920s, and her book, The Garden Party, arrived at the peak of great achievement. Set in England, her short story, Mr. and Mrs. Dove, described a story about the man's last day in England and a series of things that happened to his visit to his beloved woman's home which presented the relationships between his mom and him, and his beloved woman and him. This paper mainly explores the feminist thoughts of the female characters. The paper concludes that the awakening awareness of women in this story was obviously from the perspectives of striking against the patriarchal system and Mansfield was actually a feminist pioneer who promoted the development of feminism in the whole world.展开更多

He cannot find identification with himself in the hostile city which does not provide any chance for him to be a better man. What is more, the absence of community in the city makes his strife become hopeless, and drives him into the state of alienation. Opposing against the brutal surroundings, he turns to violent behavior for the spiritual rescue. Yet, since violence derives from a sense of impotence, it cannot protect him from being alienated. Bom in a lower class, however hard he tries, Jules becomes powerless in front of the relentless society and doomed to be a tragedy展开更多

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The yellow wallpaper is one of the many examples. As the epitome of female gothic, The yellow wallpaper utilized the female gothic conventions--the grotesque symbol of yellow wallpaper, the hysteric narrative format and the archetype image of madwoman, to express women's status of her time--their repression, rebellion and quest for the "true self".展开更多

It begins with a brief introduction to Jane's life and the content of the book and then demonstrates the rebellious impulse inside Jane Eyre by examining 3 main life-stages of Jane Eyre--at Gateshead, Lowood and Thornfield. Yet living in patriarchal society, Jane cannot expose the rebellious impulse into full play by herself. Bronte creates the madwoman in the attic--Bertha to reflect Jane's strongest rebellious impulse by acting out Jane's internal rage to Rochester, John Reed, the veil and Thornfield.展开更多

The poets really meant that their own poems could not express his suffering when he said he had been afraid that he could not match his suffering. People often think the rich experieuce is the key to the depth of writing, but the truth is not like that. The author concluded that the content of poem shall keep certain gap with the ethic meaning through research on the experience and writing of the great poets and give an ontological questioning and then he can embody common humanity and emotion without blank teaching. A poet shall be in face of the difficulty of writing and learn to handle with the challenge of difficulty, and then the difficulty can be transferred into skill of writing,展开更多
