Abstract

This research aims to analyze the issues of the new political movement and forms of Palestinian resistance through socio-cultural movements from the perspective of Sidney G. Tarrow. This resistance is reflected in the use of the thobe dress at the national and global levels. The movement began with posting photos of Palestinian women wearing thobes, leading to actions such as Rashida Tlaib, a member of the U.S. Congress, wearing a thobe during her inauguration. The research uses a descriptive analysis method with a literature review technique that focuses on interpreting the use as a social movement. The results show that the phenomenon of thobe use represents the resistance politics of Palestinian society and other supportive communities in confronting Zionist groups and elite factions that have marginalized Palestine.

Abstract

This study analyses the strategies employed by female characters, particularly Aminah in Ibrahim Nasrallah's novel A'ros Aminah, to resist and challenge the oppressive characteristics of Israeli colonialism. The resistance is demonstrated by female characters in the novel from the perspective of postcolonial feminist studies. Postcolonial feminism is a multidisciplinary area of study that examines the convergence of feminist and postcolonial philosophies. The analysis centers on examining the profound impact of colonialism on the marginalization of women's dignity. This study utilizes a descriptive qualitative research methodology to analyze the behaviors and resistance of Aminah and other female characters in novel narratives. The study's data include quotations that portray the acts of resistance demonstrated by women throughout the conflict between Palestinian and Israeli soldiers. The quotes in the collection are analyzed using postcolonial feminist theory to investigate how women in the novel engage in resistance. The study findings suggest that the female characters in the novel are depicted as independent women who actively work towards their survival, possess the capability to support their families, and exhibit a distinct ability to oppose the Israeli army. The research findings indicate that women can actively resist and counteract the oppression that occurred during the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel.

Abstract

This paper describes the history of Arabic Translations. There are three partsimportant things that correlated with Arabic Translations; (1) the history of terminologyamong terms of translations, (2) the definitions of translation it self based on a lot ofprofessionals scholarly, and (3) the history of “translation as a process” in Arabiclanguage from the earlier period of Islam. Finally, the result of data analysis shows thatthe process of Arabic translations comes from the process of trading in the Arabiancommunity with the strangers. In the other hands, the term of translation in Indonesianlanguage (terjemah) comes from Arabic language (tarjama-yutarjimu). It means thatthere are extremely correlations between Arabic Translation and Bahasa Indonesia. So,this is it the short history of Arabic Translations today.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of gender equality between men and women in Saudi under the shadow of a patriarchal social structure and ultra-conservative Wahhabi theology. This study will also explore the views of Asghar Ali Engineer regarding the status of women in Islam through liberation theology and how it is contextualized with the status and role of Saudi women today. This research is a qualitative research whose database is literature in the form of authoritative books, journals and web articles. The results of this study are that gender equality between men and women in Saudi is experiencing dynamics that continue to change according to social conditions and interests that occur in the country. In decades Saudi women have experienced very strict restrictions, their role is limited to the domestic sphere and very few Saudi women have a role in the public sphere. Seeing this condition of Saudi women, Asghar Ali Engineer through liberation theology wants to remove all forms of subordination experienced by women, and Asghar Ali Engineer's view of liberation theology finds its relevance to Saudi women today where they are now enjoying their freedom and their rights have been restored.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the personality typology of the main character, Zainab, in the short story “Laysa Lahā Makān fī al-Jannah” by Nawāl al-Sa‘dāwī using Carl Gustav Jung’s psychoanalytic approach. The short story is selected because it represents women’s inner conflicts resulting from oppression within patriarchal family and social systems. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using library research techniques, as well as observation and note taking. The data are analyzed based on Jung’s typological concepts, including attitudes (introversion-extraversion) and psychological functions (thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting). The findings reveal that the introverted-feeling type is the most dominant aspect, with five identified data, followed by three data of introverted-sensing and two data of introverted-intuition. The dominance of introverted-feeling indicates that Zainab suppresses her desires, emotions, and inner impulses, which she is unable to express openly due to familial pressure and social norms. This condition generates profound inner conflict, causing Zainab’s personality to be shaped more by self-repression than by self-acceptance and self-actualization. This study contributes to enriching the field of literary psychology by applying Jung’s typology to reveal the internalization of patriarchal oppression within the character’s personality structure.

Abstract

This research explains the categories and syntactic roles of Arabic in the book Nashâ? Iħul-ʕIbâd by Syekh Nawawi Al-Bantani based on the theory of roles and references grammar. This research is a descriptive qualitative with a purposive sampling method of presenting data that is separated from 112 data. The research method used in this study is the Agih method with basic techniques for direct elements using advanced techniques in the form of markup reading techniques on lingual element in Arabic grammar. The theory for determining the accusative adjunct markers of Arabic used is Valin's (1993) role and reference grammar theory using Kroeger's (2005) definition to look for core and peripheral elements in sentences. This research has found that the word categories of accusative adjunct can be the noun 'ism', the determiner 'muhaddad', the adjective 'naʕt', the adverb 'dharf', and the negation 'nafi', while the phrase category is the nominal phrase 'al-ʕibarah. al-ismiyyah ', the adverbial phrase 'al-ʕibarah adh-dharfiyyah ', and the adjective phrase' al-ʕibarah an-naʕʈiyyah '. In terms of the role of grammar syntax role and reference, adjunct can have any function as a clause modifier with evidential functions, as a core modifier with a function of manner, place, location, cause, and quantity, and also as a nucleus modifier with a affirmating function.
