   At the figurative center of William Faulkner's Light in August is the mysterious murder of the "spinster" (232) Joanna Burden, who is found with her throat slit inside of her burning home on the outskirts of Jefferson. Though the townspeople had long ostracized and derided Joanna as a "Yankee, a lover of negroes," they assemble within minutes, chorus-like, eager for the perpetrator of this "negro crime" (46, 287, 288) against a white woman to be punished. Joe Christmas, an itinerant laborer who passes as a white man but is bitterly convinced that he is "part nigger" (254), is named as Joanna Burden's murderer and a manhunt ensues that culminates in his being shot to death and castrated. These dramatic and gruesome details, narrated though they are in non-linear fashion, mark the denouement and epilogue of a three-act play that occurs within the novel, starring Joanna Burden and Joe Christmas as its principal actors.

It becomes the oldest Saint George play to feature Father Christmas and the Turkish Knight, and has textual parallels with Irish folk plays. Read less

   This paper seeks to investigatethe sources of power in the discourse of an Arab-American writer, Etel Adnan's one act play, Like a Christmas Tree. The play represents a heated argument between two figures who stand for two different ideologies and who fall within the frame of 'binary opposition', transcultural misunderstanding, and colonial hegemony versus native resistance. Supposedly, an American Journalist, Jim, is expected to dominate the discourse by force of his cultural and professional background, but sarcastically enough, the Iraqi butcher, Badr is the part who represents power and domination throughout the play. The current paper depends on more than one tool of analysis: Norman Fairclough's (2001) and Foucault's(2004) concepts of power and discourse, Grice's theory of 'cooperative principles'(1989), Brown and Gilman's study of 'address forms' (1972), and Georgia Green's contribution in the process of 'turn-taking' (1989).The study celebrates an analysis of data which uncovers the power of discourse in the exchanges of both characters and sheds light on the identity of both of them in an attempt to affirm that 'power' is not necessarily on the side of the stronger.
