POWER AND RESISTANCE IN TA-NEHISI COATES’S THE WATER DANCER AND KAWAI STRONG WASHBURN’S SHARKS IN THE TIME OF SAVIORS
Humanities Journal of University of Zakho (القضية : 3) (الحجم : 13)
This article is an attempt to studiously explore both power and resistance and their interactions and relations along with their impacts and functions in the selected novels; Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Water Dancer (2019), and Kawai Strong Washburn’s Sharks in the Time of Saviors (2020). It aims to focus on the way of incorporating magical elements in the narratives to redefine power dynamics in various prospective and it serves to create a magical realism that shapes the new mechanism of resistance. Both power and resistance, in this article, are conceptualized to illustrate the existing power as well as reversed forces in the life of main characters in the novels. Besides, this article employs particular concepts such as knowledge, power, and discipline as defined and explained by Michel Foucault (1926–1984) which are relevant to power and resistance. In the narrative, Ta-Nehisi Coates represents Hiram’s, the protagonist of the story, ability of conduction as a supernatural power that is stimulated by the power of memory in the novel. Throughout the magical element, the author creates an alternative reality that memory and trauma used as a source for equality and liberation. Similarly, Washburn utilizes Nainoa’s, the protagonist, miraculous ability of healing as a reversed power in a nature of resistance against existed social forces in the text. Nainoa’s supernatural ability is deeply linked to Hawaiian mythology in which it serves as a metaphorical force for recovering cultural identity and opposing existed forces that marginalize indigenous Hawaiians. Finally, this article concludes that both novels serve the function of the use of magical power in the two powers in terms of power and resistance. The authors portray power through oppressive systems, by the magical elements, both offer alternative pathways toward self-liberation. It emphasizes on inseparableness of power and resistance, besides, it highlights that magical realism provides a powerful mechanism to reimagine reality encountering social justice and equality in contemporary literature.

THE INFLUENCE OF TRANSGRESSION ON THE HUMAN’S LIFE IN ARTHUR MILLER’S THE CRUCIBLE
INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCES STUDIES JOURNAL (القضية : 84) (الحجم : 7)
Many researches, although, have been conducted on American Literature in general, but this study focuses on The Impact of Transgression on the Human’s Life in which is presented by Arthur Miller throughout The Crucible. The play explores several complex and trans-historic topics, many of which relate to the playwright's experiences during the McCarthyism era. Miller asks his audience to value independent and personal truths, which he defines as more morally right and good than social truth. This is because, in the playwright's mind, social veracities are often manipulated and exploited to gain a desired personal result regardless of how they affect people’s lives. The study comprises four chapters. The first chapter includes the introduction, aims and value of the study, Socio-political background, The Crucible as a Tragic Play, Author's Biography and his major literary works and summary of the Play. While the second chapter concerns with the literature review. The third chapter focuses on the outcomes of this research paper which is Social Transgression, Political Transgression and Religious Transgression. The last chapter includes the main conclusions of the study.

HJUOZ Humanities Journal of University of Zakho (القضية : 3) (الحجم : 8)
In every nation’s literature in the world, a play or a playwright often becomes the most predominant one and plays an effective role in contemporary society. Accordingly, The Emperor Jones by Eugene O’Neill, an American, is considered one of the best and the well-known masterpieces which are written in the late 1920s. This study, entitled “Representation of African-American People in E. O’Neil’s The Emperor Jones”, attempts to examine the representations of African -American people in terms of socio-historical background, culture and tradition; language and belief in E. O'Neil's The Emperor Jones, in the light of African-American history through the main character who struggles to resist for being an emperor while denying his own identity as an Afro-American, and, through imitating his exploiter who eventually led him to represent his own ethnicity and people. The play depicts an image of African-American society historically through several hallucinations which happened within the mind of the main character.

Humanities Journal of University of Zakho (HJUOZ) (القضية : 2) (الحجم : 5)
ABSTRACT: Despite the fact that Zakho provides a safe sheltering for multi-faith/ethnic groups, little has been documented about tolerance and coexistence regarding people residing this town. This paper analyzes a book titled My Father’s Paradise, written by Ariel Sabar, published in 2008. It focuses on the initial events of the book that take place in Zakho; a town located in Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Additionally, the paper focuses on the notion of tolerance among various religious groups co-existing in the same town. In exploring the notions of tolerance and coexistence, researchers closely approach the development of major character in order to gain insights into characters’ lifestyle and how they are represented in the world of the story. The paper concludes that the ambience of Zakho town, including cultural, traditional and geographical elements as well as personal names, have essentially influenced individuals’ moral, intellectual, and spiritual character development of My Father’s Paradise.
