The magazine Azeema focusses on women of colour who have a bilateral background and are most of the time from the Middle Eastern North Africa region (MENA-region). Azeema and a couple of other initiatives are precursors in the sense that they focus on a group of people who formerly did not see representation of themselves in the media landscape. Via interviews and online content a context description is set up which explains how the editors of the magazine found Azeema. Due to the lack of representation and the desire to present a more nuanced picture of women from the region chief editor Jameela Elfaki started the magazine.Based in London the five-headed team started writing articles and accepting guest writers for the magazine. By means of a qualitative content analysis underlying themes and patterns of data are drafted. Five returning categories are founded when analyzing the data of Azeema’s publications. Besides these categories Azeema’s visual material is also considered during this analysation. The researched showed how the five categories were all adding to a ‘new’ wave of transnationalism that come about by bottom-up organizations.Show less

Deze twee periodes (1099-1187 en 1967-heden) zijn uniek doordat het de langstdurende periodes zijn waarbij Jeruzalem buiten islamitische heerschappij viel, sinds de verovering van de stad door de kalief ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb in 637. Gedurende beide periodes speelde poëzie een centrale rol in de Arabische wereld. Het diende als literair medium om uiting te geven aan het verlangen tot een herovering en terugkeer naar de stad, waarbij dichters uitvoerig gebruik maakten van religieuze symboliek om dit verlangen kracht bij te zetten. In het kort kan gesteld worden dat dichters uit beide periodes zich op grofweg dezelfde islamitische symboliek beriepen, maar dat er significante verschillen bestaan wat betreft het gebruik van niet-islamitische religieuze symboliek. Het gebruik van dergelijke veelal christelijke maar ook joodse symboliek, hing sterk af van de politieke context waarbinnen gedichten geschreven werden. Waar de ene dichter dergelijke symboliek aanhaalde om religieuze verschillen te overstijgen, gebruikte de ander niet-islamitische symboliek om een islamitisch-religieuze agenda te promoten. Ondanks deze verschillen kan zonder meer gesteld worden dat alle dichters eenzelfde liefde en verlangen uitten voor Jeruzalem.Show less

Üç sinema filmini analiz edildi: Dişi Düşman (1966), Önce Vatan (1974) ve Gölgeler ve suretler (2010). Son ondokuzuncu yüzyıldan şimdiki zamana Kıbrıslı Türk kimliğinin gelişimi araştirildi. Bu filmler Kıbrıs’ta tarihi üç önemli olay olarak yaklaşık eş zamanlı oluyor: Dişi Düşman (1966) Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti kurulduktan (1960) sonra üretildi; Önce Vatan (1974) Türkiye’nin Kıbrıs Harekâtından (1974) sonra üretildi; Gölgeler ve Suretler (2010) Kuzey ve Güney Kıbrıs sınırı açildıktan (2004) sonra üretildi. Dişi Düşman’ın ve Önce Vatan’ın yönetmenleri Türkiye’de doğdular ve Gölgeler ve Suretler’in yönetmeni Famagusta da, Kuzey Kıbrıs’ta doğdu. Yönetmenlerin nerede doğduklari önemli, çünkü Turkiye Kıbrıslı-Türk kimliği etkisi geçti/geçiyor. Analizden önce, kimliğin kavramı araştırılı. Birinci bölümde, ondokuzuncu yüzyıldan şimdiki zamana Kıbrıs’ın tarihini anlatıyor. İkinci bölümde, Kıbrıslı Türk’ün kimlik gelişmesi, Kıbrıs’ın tarihi ile eş zamanlı oluyor. Üçüncü bölümde, bu üç filmi analiz ediyor. Yıllar geçtikçe, sinema filminde Kıbrıslı Türk kimliği sunumu değişti. Dişi Düşman’da ve Önce Vatan’da, Kıbrıslı Türk kimliği geliştirdi, Yunanlı-Kıbrıslara karşı koyabilmek yüzünden. Gölgeler ve Suretler’de, Kıbrıslı Türk kimliği daha esnek. Daha her şeyi saran bir kimlik: Bir Kıbrıslı kimlik, Kıbrıslı Türkler ile Kıbrıslı Yunanlar. Bu araştırmada bir kimlik çerçevesi var. Filmlerin analizi sırasında, başka kimlikler (Yunanlılar, Yunan-Kıbrıslılar, Türkler) araştırıldı ve semboller ile araştırıldı: dış görünüş, dil, duvar yazıları ve bayraklar gibi.Show less

De voornaamste reden dat wordt gegeven is dat de persoon een veiligheidsrisico is voor de Israëlische staat. De detentie wordt toegestaan door middel van een administratief bevel in plaats van het gebruikelijke gerechtelijk decreet. Door middel van een veldonderzoek in de vorm van interviews zal ik ex-gedetineerden vragen stellen mijn hoofdvraag die luidt “In hoeverre heeft administratieve detentie effect op het sociale leven van de Palestijnen die in Administratieve detentie hebben gezeten?”.Show less
