Abstract
Edward Said challenges western orientalism in an analytical way in his book, Orientalism (1978). His view of orientalism is based on finding a new relationship between the Orient and the Occident. Western orientalism refers to English, French and American ones based on the dominant power and hegemony of the West over the East which is a kind of Nietzschean will to power. From Friedrich Nietzsche’s perspective, every idea is a will to power; meanwhile, the evolution of man’s wisdom is the result of his will to power; in this way, knowledge will be the instrument of power. This paper, through Said’s analytical criticism, challenges orientalism to show that, the formal expression of will to truth is will to power that leads to a kind of cultural imperialism. Moreover, it represents a form of cultural imperialism in Said’s Orientalism, which is one of the most powerful factors of the hegemony of imperial powers especially in the colonized countries. Through amateurism, Said indicates how creating such a culture in literary works can be one of the most resisting factors in the postcolonial societies. Thus, he suffers from an intellectual personal imperialism, which is in contradiction with the world of critical theories and criticism .

In spite of numerous narratives about slavery and its multi-dimensional effects, and huge amount of critical examinations and readings rendered on African – American productions, this traumatic phenomenon in human history has never lost its immense significance through various discourses. The present article tries to re-open Gayl Jones’ novel, Corregidora, as one of the most distinguished works in African – American literature with a critical concentration on the inevitable impacts of sexual and specifically homosexual exploitation of slavery era under the light of an archetypal approach toward the issue of posttraumatic stress disorder in female identities of the story. Mostly, the novel has gone through psychoanalytical, feminist and historical critiques and primarily as a text of individual and cultural trauma, which depicts the long lasting influences of slavery on the modern African – American identity. The current article tends to investigate the narrative significance of Ursa Corregidora’s traumatic response towards homosexual stimuli in addition to the role of collective memory on its formation. Indeed, through the archetypal analysis, the article quests for the symptoms of sexual disorder like that of the Corregidora’s white wife. Moreover, it attempts to show how the hierarchical, power-based and patriarchal system of slavery transforms its subjectivities into unstable and traumatized identities. Finally, the ultimate purpose of the article is to demonstrate that slavery as a cultural traumatic phenomenon has not chosen its victims, but, every single subject in this hierarchical system has gone through a burden of physical and psychological injuries rooted in a collective unconsciousness.

To Close or Not to Close, That Is the Question: Sam Shepard’s Deconstructive Evasion of Closure in A Lie of the Mind

Sam Shepard’s dramatic vision, like Jacques Derrida’s philosophy, observes not a world securely supported by metaphysical certainties, but one of discards and throwaways appeased by landscapes filled with fragments and debris. It is, therefore, pointless to employ traditional methodologies to extract meaning out of a drama designed to resist this sort of interpretive strategy. If there is no methodology capable of resolving the fractured and indeterminate nature of Shepard’s drama, then it is essential to approach these plays from a perspective (deconstruction) that is unafraid of uncertainty and is not disappointed by an inability to arrive at a final and authoritative reading. Shepard’s resistance against the urge to create “closed” and “finished” texts reminds one of a major subject of poststructuralist/deconstructive concern: “closure,” which—because it stifles the interpretive process—must be recognized and avoided. This article is devoted to the examination of how Shepard, who is committed to an artistic vision that accepts indeterminacy, manages to end a play without limiting its interpretive possibilities; A Lie of the Mind is the text which will be studied to that end.

The present article attempted to analyze the characters'
"subjectivity" in Samuel Johnson's The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia under the aegis of Deleuze and Guattari's theory of "subjectivity." Doing so, the characters' desires have been considered to clarify if their desire is the product of a lack (as psychoanalysis insists), or it is productive (as Deleuze and Guattari believe). By focusing on Deleuze and Guattari's famous syntheses in Johnson's Rasselas, it was revealed that it is the energy of the desire that sets Rasselas and his fellow travelers in motion to follow their quest. Moreover, it was cleared that their desire does not get repressed in the triangular family relation; instead, it is the social relations which is the main cause for repressing their desire, and the characters' subjectivity is constructed based on the repression society imposes on them. In fact, the characters' desire is not compatible with the social requirements such as social differentiation, and ideology, thus, desire gets repressed, and each repression renders the character "a" subjectivity specific to that experience.

In addition to the economic advantages of globalization, it also causes some challenges in the field of culture. As a major challenge raised by globalization, homogenization drives aside the heterogeneous local cultures, replacing them with the homogenized global culture. Ireland has also been challenged by such homogenizing global cultural flows and Brian Friel reflects such a challenge and a solution to it in his Faith Healer. For Friel, the form of monologue play is an expression of his glocal solution. Possessing the prominent features of the concept of glocalization such as interpenetration of the local and the global, heterogeneity, transcending the borders, increasing the agency of the local, monologue play provides the glocal condition for the transaction of Irish culture with global culture. Investigating Faith Healer and its performances, the present study exposes the affinities of glocalization and monologue play in Faith Healer.

In the age of considerable progress in technology by simulation, machines have become the extension of human bodies and have blurred the boundary between nature and culture. The researcher investigates Margaret Atwood’s environmental concerns who demands a theoretical framework regarding the cultural system as ecological phenomena. Throughout this article, the researcher re- evaluates what it is to be human in Oryx and Crake (2003) and attempts to define the posthuman condition and the notion of ecposthumanism. It also investigates the deconstruction of the humanist vision through such a posthumanist reading of Margaret Atwood’s novel and highlights the possibility of the posthuman and the human being able to survive together in a dystopia created by harsh intervention of human to the realm of nonhuman. The researcher through the lens of posthumanism as one branch of ecocriticism investigatesAtwood's characters and the role of technology and nature

The present study seeks to read Shakespeare’s 1 Henry IV from a cultural materialist perspective. As cultural materialism attempts to bring into consideration those marginalized and dissident voices which threaten the legitimacy and coherence of the dominant discourses from within, this study introduces Hotspur as one of the representatives of such dissidence in Shakespeare’s 1 Henry IV. Through his act of rebellion against the king, Hotspur problematizes the authenticity of the official ideological doctrine regarding divinity of the kings still prevalent during playwright’s time. He questions the plausibility of such a discourse. By challenging this notion, Hotspur doubts the rightfulness of King Henry IV who achieved his throne not through the will of God but through deceit and trickery. Although he is killed by his rival Prince Harry at the end of the play, through his disobedience Hotspur puts the political and ideological systems into disarray.

This article proposes study of the concept of travel and its relation to space dimension and focuses on why traveling, realistic or fictional, institutes the main axis of Modiano's novels. However, identity and own-self writing have had an important role in most Nobel Prize winning literature works, this research intends to understand why and how the travel is the basis of his universe. Moreover, this article attempts to find the relationship between the concept of travel and the definition of space. In order to do so and to demonstrate the reflection of this study on Modiano’s writings, the concept of space is been determined and examined through six different books from different decades of the author's life. In addition, the thematic approach of Georges Poulet, a 20th century French literature critic, has been practiced. This study concludes an analysis of diversity of space, its characteristics, and its function.
