“…This can be the case if the Resolution aims at adopting the uti possidetis juris, but it cannot certainly be the case if the Resolution aims at adopting of the uti possidetis de facto. 110 Now, an objection has been clearly expressed in our case, either directly by the rejection of the uti 105 See Ndeshyo, Algiers Seminar previously mentioned, 226-227;Borella (1974, p. 239 cont.). According to some authors, it was the latter meaning of the principle which has been adopted within the African context.…”

“…Thus, the Charter law, like the ancient law, keeps the use of force as the ultimate means to guarantee the existence of the state. 110 It is worth mentioning in this regard that since then, as shown by Mark W Zacher, 111 the prohibition of the use of force to settle interstate territorial conflicts has become a reality and that most of the states have shown great respect to that principle. 107 Likewise, Nico Krisch reminds us that "The right to selfdefense, as the remainder of the more encompassing right to self-preservation (italics added) reflects the idea of an international order based on the power struggle of states that can ensure survival (my emphasis) only by their own strength."…”

“…109 We know that the latter principle is relevant only in the absence of an objection from the concerned states. 110 See De Visscher (1967, p. 102 and seq). It is because knowing the difficulties created by the lack of obligatory character of that Resolution that the experts committee in charge of the draft revision of the Charter of the O.A.U has suggested to add to the Article 3 of the latter a para.…”

“…The stem which Mansfield described in "Prelude" is either that of an agave about to burst into its unique flowering, or the spike of an aloe, which stands for year after year between flowerings, somehow transplanted by Mansfield's peculiar botany into the rosette of an agave. 423 aloe", so Linda could be thinking of it by that name. 425 Section VII, which continues with the satirical approach begun in section VI, shows Stanley, Linda, and Beryl in turn each enjoying a sense of power and status that is sooner or later undercut.…”

Bridging the Gulf, Taking the Risk: an Exploration of "Relationships" in Katherine Mansfield's 'Juliet', 'Brave Love', and 'Prelude'

<p>The introduction of this thesis examines Katherine Mansfield’s belief that elements of a fictional work should be “related”. Passages in her literary reviews, journals, and letters state or imply her conviction that such related elements demonstrate the thinking, exploring author’s control of the text and express the author’s ideas and vision. The introduction also suggests that Mansfield’s actual “relationship” methods (as shown in the examined texts) are typical of modernist practice. The thesis then explores such methods in three of Mansfield’s earlier episodic fictions: ‘Juliet’ (written 1906–1907), ‘Brave Love’ (completed early 1915); and ‘Prelude’ (written 1915 to 1917). Chapter one introduces the “relationship” methods by a reading of the 1907 vignette ‘In the Botanical Gardens’; it then explores the techniques used in ‘Juliet’ and ‘Brave Love’, finding some similarity in the approaches. Chapter two is a section-by-section reading of ‘Prelude’, based on developments of some techniques established in chapter one. The thesis’s primary focus on each work’s ways of relating textual elements continues an approach begun by the New Critics but without their tendency to single out a main character, central symbol, and fixed meaning. Here, the argument recognises critical discussions highlighting the binary and the fluid in Mansfield’s works and the works’ alignment with both expressionism and impressionism. The resulting readings of the three works demonstrate Mansfield’s increasingly skilful techniques of “bridging the gulf” between disparate aspects of experience to achieve the modernist aim of variety and unity. The texts set up standard oppositions (such as conventionality/unconventionality, naivety/cynicism, master/servant, adult/child) and subvert them ironically. Characters on either side are associated with symbols and myths of vulnerability and power to depict how those characters both exercise and are shaped by forces, which may be social, biological, creative, or others more mysterious. These three stories of Mansfield’s adolescence and early adulthood implicitly question (given the pervasiveness of such forces) whether free choice and clear vision are possible, which potentials of identity can be realised, and what is the nature of existence itself. These readings demonstrate the achievement of Mansfield’s own requirements that fiction should be exploratory: the texts appear in the last resort to be philosophical in intent, “adventures of the soul”.</p>
