Nach dem traditionellen chinesischen Lunarkalender und den volkstümlichen Jahresbezeichnungen des Zyklus von 12 Tieren (in der Reihenfolge: Ratte, Büffel, Tiger, Hase, Drache, Schlange, Pferd, Ziege, Affe, Hahn, Hund, Schwein) war das nach dem westlichen Kalender am 3.Februar abgelaufene Jahr ein Jahr der Ziege. Die Ziege gilt bei den Chinesen als ein Symbol für Glück und Frieden. Innenpolitisch verlief das Jahr 1991 für Taiwan zwar nicht sehr friedlich, aber auch nicht fatal. Es war ein Jahr voller Spannungen und Entspannungen. Man kann es als ein Jahr des "Bocks" und des "Schafes" bezeichnen.

This article analyzes two books that utilize the construct of "The Muslim Woman" as a symbol for public consumption across a global and conceptual scale: Saba Mahmood's book, 'Politics of Piety', and Malala Yousafzai's and Christina Lamb's 'I am Malala'. The motivation behind the analysis is to situate the texts within debates on essentialism within accounts of Muslim women. While essentialism and the critique of it in such discussions are not a novelty, the books demonstrate a physical manifestation of essentialism and a reductionist reaction toward this brand of essentialism. Through analysis of the content, poetics, and response toward the books, I argue that scholarship surround Muslim women are still mired in essentialism albeit efforts to avoid it due to a lack in direction as to how to resolve the issue. I suggest using a combination of power convolution and intersectionality of identities to capture the representation of Muslim women.

This study examines the prolonged Palestinian division. Its essential focus is to explore the various stages that the Palestinian political system has gone through and track its development from the British mandate up to the ongoing division between Fatah and Hamas. It aims to uncover the roles of regional and foreign actors which have destabilized the Palestinian national movement. Moreover, it demonstrates the role of the United Kingdom and Israel in inciting the divide and conquer principle during the British mandate, as well as the way the Palestine Liberation Organisation managed to maintain national unity from the 1960s. Finally, this study examines the real and historical reasons behind the current division between Fatah and Hamas, as well as the external factors that contribute to the continuity of the division.
