"Sounds Minds in Sound Bodies:" Transnational Philanthropy and Patriotic Masc...Stacy Fahrenthold
Presentation for Paper Delivered at the Middle East Studies Annual Meeting 2013, in New Orleans, LA
Abstract:
"This paper locates Brazil as a major site of Syrian patriotic culture by examining philanthropic and activist networks between the city of Homs and a Syrian club in Sao Paulo, the Nadi Homsi. Established in 1920, Nadi Homsi was a Syrian young men's club linked first to Emir Faysal's Arab Nationalist government, and later to the Syrian National Bloc. During the 1920s, members presided over a distinctly anti-colonial political culture that analogized between the fortitude of Syrian masculinity and the will to sovereignty and independence for Syria. The Nadi prescribed a rigorous program for young men comprising charity, self-improvement, intensive ideological training, and corporeal discipline through sports. Merging Brazilian machismo with Syrian territorial nationalism, the club sponsored new schools, orphanages, and newspapers in Homs, altering Syrian social infrastructure. By the late twenties the Nadi promoted return migration of young Syrian men, with the aim of spreading a politics of patriotism grown in the diaspora. By “making Syrian men” in Brazil, the Nadi Homsi hoped to ultimately usher in a new political renaissance at home. In the process, the club inscribed new political meanings on young men's bodies and minds, making boys objects for nationalist political reform."

Space ship depots continue to come online, with launches to the Moon occurring daily. The moon bases
have been stabilized, and humans are beginning to settle in.
Not surprisingly, many island nations fared better than expected during the outbreak. Their isolation could
be very valuable if we face a third round of infection before the earth has been evacuated. We need to get
them back on the grid as soon as possible. Japan, Madagascar, and Iceland are first on the list for
building infrastructures. Local teams have managed to get some equipment, but all you’ll have to start
with is one repository and blank hardware. As we’ve learned while building the depots, travel is
dangerous and difficult. You will need to create your infrastructure in a lab first, to ensure it will be able to
be quickly deployed by a local team. Once the process has been deemed successful, we will establish a
satellite link to the islands to get everything we need to the local repositories
