    Identity and Feminism in Translation: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Maya Angelou and Nazik Al Malaika Poetry
    (October University of Modern Sciences and Arts, 2019) Mohamed Abdallah Sherif, Basma
    Feminism and identity are controversial concepts where they can meet and diverse at different points within poetry compared to its translation. The role of feminism in asserting one individual identity or even collective identity represents a problematic area of study in translation. Sociocultural approaches in translation studies vary in their techniques of translating different texts in the light of their interrelations with identity and feminism. The present study aims at exploring the relationship between identity and feminism in the original productions of Maya Angelou and Nazik Al Malaika selected poems and their translations using a multidisciplinary approach that combines between post colonial and gender based studies. The theoretical framework of this study is based on Sherry Simon (2005) and Gayatri Spivak (2004) theories of translation in relation to identity and feminism. This paper is a qualitative theoretical research that uses content analysis and comparisons as research tools. It concluded that the analysis and discussion of data have proved that identity and feminism are inseparable due to their absolute and essential connectedness that is emphasized by the fact that each concept of them completes and confirms the other. As a recommendation, translation should reflect the intersection of identity and feminism instead of their diversities in order to assert the writer point of view

    Investigating University Level Instructors’ Perceptions of an Integrated Technology-Aided Approach to Teaching Literature (A Case Study at MSA University)
    (2019) Gamil, Karina
    This study aimed at investigating the perceptions of university level instructors on the use of an integrated technology-aided approach to teach literature to students that take English as a foreign language (EFL). To achieve this aim, a random sample of eleven university level literature instructors working at October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) was chosen to investigate their perceptions on an integrated technology-aided approach. For the purpose of the study, the researcher designed a structured interview, which was assessed for its validity and reliability, and conducted it with the selected sample. The study findings revealed that the instructors preferred not only traditional technological aids such as videos, audios, and eBooks but also more innovative ones such as digital storytelling, hypertexts, digital mapping and blogs. Moreover, an overall positive response regarding the applicability of an integrated technology-aided approach was observed. In addition to the previous, several key challenges regarding the implementation of such an approach were pointed out, including the unavailability of necessary equipment, the time constraints, and the lack of training in the use of technology for both the students and the instructors. However, it is noted that the results of the current study are rather limited due to the narrow scope of the study and its descriptive nature. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a similar study on a larger scale to investigate not only the perceptions of university level literature instructors across different universities and/or governorates but also the perceptions of the university students taking literature courses. Additionally, it is suggested to use the quasi-experimental method to investigate the effectiveness and challenges of the proposed integrated approach.

    (October University of Modern Sciences and Arts, 2019) Youssef Abd El-Azim Mohamed El-Rouby, Shrook
    Questioning how the reality of death should be delivered to children has been a controversial issue between parents and accordingly children works content creators. Whether death is depicted in a positive of negative attitude in a specific culture, the concept of death should most times be simply delivered to children. The dissertation explores the portrayal of life after death in different children literary works through an eco-critical perspective. The children literary works are inspired by certain cultures which are Greek mythology, Mexican culture and Chinese culture. A comparison between the variations of cultural attitudes is tackled through the different literary interpretations of death, with main question of whether children literature makes the concept of death easier to perceive by children and to what extent. The Greek culture of death shall be tackled through the Greek myth of Hercules in The Story of Hercules and the Disney movie Herculesto further understand whether the movie is better at reflecting the eco-critical aspect of death through the use of animals and imagery. The Disney movie Cocoin comparison is tackled to view the positive portrayal of death in the Mexican culture through the positive surrounding and colorful animal, and finally the Disney movie of Mulanand the Disney story ofMushu's Story which shows that despite the fact that Chinese culture does not have a positive attitude of death, the Disney production still found a way to create a pet out of the dead world whom is loveable and funny. The findings of the dissertation illustrates that the children literary works do indeed make death a more simple and less traumatic fact for children through the eco-critical elements used by the authors
