Decolonizing Trauma and Cocooning Identity: A Study in Selected Postcolonial Plays
...Show More Authors

The concept of decolonization of trauma has intrigued researchers for years due to its prolonged effect on personal and cultural levels. The process of intellectual decolonization involves defensive survival mechanisms, such as cultural rituals using traditional practices, nostalgic dialogues that idealize memories and recollections, and conversations about identity to navigate postcolonial trauma displacement. Symbolic connections evoke strong emotional responses, bridging the gap between the characters‘ physical dislocation and their imaginary homeland. Cocooning identity represents a space where a multidimensional self emerges—one that holds the victim of trauma, the survivor who endures, and the narrator, who constructs an idealized self. This process allows the individual to celebrate the deconstruction and reconstruction of a more ethical and critical way to assess his reaffirmed identity and his sense of belongingness. It provides a framework that enables the traumatized person to engage with others without losing his own cultural identity, while also embracing a revised and transformed identity—one that is dynamic and not fixed. The study deals with the mental praxis results from disruptive experiences of trauma which led the individual to emotional disturbance, shame, a sense of guilt, fragmentation, and flashbacks. It aims to explore the process of intellectual decolonization, which involves deconstructing all kinds of hegemonic colonial authority and dominance. It advocates for a thorough and clear understanding of trauma, specifically by examining the concept of decolonizing trauma as explored by post-colonial playwrights from various countries. An examination will be conducted to understand the fundamental nature of both the suffering and the process of healing by exploring the particular traumas that motivate storytelling. The study aims to explore how the characters successfully protect their identity in order to III facilitate a healthy recovery from post traumatic stress disorder resulting from their past traumatic experiences. The emphasis is on the theoretical frameworks that will be employed to analyze the chosen plays. The first chapter is an introduction exploring post-colonialism as a theory that focuses on identity, specifically trauma identity theories and research. Furthermore, it provides a historical framework for the cultural environment in which the selected literary writings are situated. The second chapter focuses on the USA's "War on Terrorism" in Iraq and the traumatic consequences of media deception and the sectarian war on the social fabric of Iraqi society. This is explored through two Iraqi playwrights: Rasha Fadhil (1975- ) in Ishtar in Baghdad (2003) and the Iraqi-American playwright; Heather Raffo (1970- )in Noura (2018). The third chapter examines the numerous traumas tackled in the Palestinian Theatre. It focuses on Tennis in Nablus (2010) by Ismail Khalidi (1982- ), a Palestinian American playwright. It also examines And here I am (2017) by Hassan Abdulrazzak (1973- ), an Iraqi American writer. The fourth chapter focuses on the trauma experienced by Arab immigrants in Europe and their struggle with sentiments of indecency and a sense of not quite fitting into either culture, as depicted in the works of two Egyptian playwrights. It delves into Ten Acrobats in an Amazing Leap of Faith (2006) by Yussef El Guindi (1960- ). Then it examines Sister Radio (2020) by Sara Shaarawi (1989- ), a Scotland-based Cairo-born playwright. The conclusion sums up the findings of the study

The effect of preventive exercises using the (isometric) method and aids to help develop the strength of the thigh muscles of the first-class referees of the Iraqi Premier League
...Show More Authors

The aim of the research is to identify the values of the level of muscular strength of the thighs, as well as to identify the significance of the differences between the pre-tests and the post-tests for the first-class football referees in the Iraqi Premier League. The researchers used the one-group experimental approach for its suitability to the nature of the study problem, and the research sample was from first-class referees in the Iraqi Premier League for the sports season (2022/2023), and their number was (15) referees. They took the comprehensive enumeration method, and special tests were conducted on them in the stadium and the private hall at the Ministry of Youth and Sports Center. After analyzing and discussing the result

This study examines postgraduate students’ awareness of pragmatic aspects, including Grice Maxims, Politeness, and Direct and Indirect forms of speech. According to Paul Grice’s theory of implicature, which is considered one of the most important contributions to pragmatics, this paper discusses how postgraduate students can meet the cooperative principle when communicating effectively. It also outlines how does politeness principles influence obeying or violating the maxims and how is the use of direct or indirect forms of utterances prompted by politeness. Sixteen master’s students of Linguistics and Literature were asked to take a multiple-choice test. The test will be represented along with the interpretation of each optio

Effect of Sulfur on Characterization of AgInSe<sub>1.8</sub>S<sub>0.2</sub> Thin Film and n-AgInSe<sub>1.8</sub>S<sub>0.2</sub> / p-Si Solar Cell
...Show More Authors

Abstract Ternary Silver Indium selenide Sulfur AgInSe1.8S0.2 in pure form and with a 0.2 ratio of Sulfur were fabricated via thermal evaporation under vacuum 3*10-6 torr on glasses substrates with a thickness of (550) nm. These films were investigated to understand their structural, optical, and Hall Characteristics. X-ray diffraction analysis was employed to examine the impact of varying Sulfur ratios on the structural properties. The results revealed that the AgInSe1.8S0.2 thin films in their pure form and with a 0.2 Sulfur ratio, both at room temperature and after annealing at 500 K, exhibited a polycrystalline nature with a tetragonal structure and a predominant orientation along the (112) plane, indicating an enhanced de

The high bounce activity according to the fosbery way is regarded as of the difficult sports concerning its way of training and perfection due to hard technique of its performance on one hand and because it depends on the player’s ability to overcome body weight resistance against the gravity. In addition to the strong ability to control the body posture when leaving the land and flying over the barrier. This activity needs to high plosion power at the moment of bouncing and this plosion depends on the period of bouncing, so the two researchers aimed to use a mechanical bouncing platform and an electronic one through several training by one foot and both feet in different directions and positions in order to reduce the time of bouncing an
