	Layoun, M.N.: Travels of a Genre: The Modern Novel and Ideology.
		In this bold, insightful work Mary Layoun investigates the development of literary practice in the Greek, Arabic, and Japanese cultures, which initially considered the novel a foreign genre, a cultural accoutrement of "Western" influence.
		In each of the three cultural traditions, the literary debates surrounding the adoption and adaption of the modern novel focus on problematic formulations of the "modern" versus the "traditional," the "Western" and "foreign" versus the "indigenous," and notions of the modern bourgeois subject versus the precapitalist or precolonial subject.
		Layoun textually situates and analyzes these formulations in the early twentieth-century novels of Alexandros Papadiamandis (Greece), Yahya Haqqi (Egypt), and Natsume Soseki (Japan) and in the contemporary novels of Dimitris Hatzis (Greece), Ghassan Kanafani (Palestine), and Oe Kenzaburo (Japan).

	The Nationalism Project: Books by Author K-L
		Summary: This book, a work of literary and cultural theory, bases itself on the assumption that nationalism is narrative, and that assumption’s corollary: that national narratives propose and articulate "a rhetoric of the nation at the same time that they propose and enact a grammar of the nation" (11).
		From these postulates, Mary Layoun scrutinizes nationalist discourses and their figuring of liminality and boundaries, their dependence upon gendered concepts and categories, their dualistic views of citizenship and inclusion/exclusion, and their relations to capitalism.
		In her account of the sufferings of the Palestinians, Layoun takes up the question of what it means for a nation to have an inside and an outside, particularly when, as in the Palestinian case, it doesn’t (or didn’t, anyway) have any territory to speak of.

	H-Net Review: Marilyn Booth on Wedded to the Land? Gender, Boundaries, and Nationalism in Crisis
		Layoun offers succinct and detailed histories of each crisis as a prelude to her analysis of cultural texts, while refusing an easy as similation of "literature," "history,"and "experience".
		Without pressing the point, Layoun's weaving together of these various voices adds harmonic depth to her conclusion, a hopeful plea that to attend to the possibility of "unheard" narratives is necessary to human--as opposed to merely political--freedom.
		Layoun's elaborated readings of the texts she has chosen are admirably attuned to the whispered implications of narrative detail in closely historicized moments of cultural production.

	JS Online: Primer on Islam
		Layoun noted, however, that American and Western colonialism sparked the disdain by some Muslims toward the West.
		And the same actions motivate the even smaller groups of individuals who are willing to attack Americans because of that hatred.
		But many of them said they understood some of the likely reasons why an organizer of the terrorists who attacked New York's twin towers and the Pentagon was able to recruit such followers.

	Fishpond.co.nz: Wedded to the Land?-CL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mary N. Layoun offers a critical commentary on the idea of nationalism in general and on specific attempts to formulate alternatives to the concept in particular.
		Drawing on readings of literature and of official documents and decrees, songs, poetry, cinema, public monuments, journalism, and conversations with exiles, refugees, and public officials, Layoun uses each historical incident as a means of highlighting a recurring trope within constructs of nationalism.
		These chapters are preceded and introduced by a discussion of "culturing the nation" and closed by a consideration of citizenship and silence in which Layoun discusses rights ostensibly possessed by all members of a political community.

		Refugee testimonies reveal a disjuncture between public and official discourse, as their stories both reconstitute boundaries and cross over them, presenting a gendered narrative perspective from which the story of the nation is told and retold.
		While these points are well taken, Layoun does not mention that the arrival of the refugees contributed significantly to the political construction of a modern Greek nation-state, with its largely homogeneous population (in terms of language, religion, and culture), especially in the northern territories of Macedonia and Thrace.
		Layoun's study also might have benefited from more specialized historical sources, as well as from a different transliteration mode (spelling errors in Greek terms could be avoided by more careful and rigorous proofreading).

		According to Layoun, a central purpose of the trip was to identify similarities between the poverty level of Turkish Cypriots with that of groups in the United States.
		Layoun intervened once to quell hostility between several community members and student presenters.
		She reminded audience members the purpose of the event was not to debate the finer points of the Annan Accord.

	Wedded to the Land? -- Gender, Boundaries, and Nationalism in Crisis -- Mary N. Layoun
		Layoun offers a critical commentary on the idea of nationalism in general and on specific attempts to formulate alternatives to the concept in particular.
		Narratives surrounding three geographically and temporally different national crises form the center of her study: Greek refugees' displacement from Asia Minor into Greece in 1922, the 1974 right-wing Cypriot coup and subsequent Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and the Palestinian and PLO expulsion from Beirut following the Israeli invasion in 1982.
		These chapters are preceded and introduced by a discussion of Òculturing the nationÓ and closed by a consideration of citizenship and silence in which Layoun discusses rights ostensibly possessed by all members of a political community.

	SCE -- Woman, Nation, Narrative
		Under the direction of Mary Layoun and Anu Dingwaney Needham, the project gradually expanded to investigate nationalism more generally in a session of the MMLA in 1993 and in a day long workshop involving approximately 30 scholars, "Nationalism(s): Definitions, Explanations, Alternatives," held April 2, 1994, at Case Western Reserve University.
		In 1997, Wendy Kozol, Mary Layoun and Anuradha Needham revived the project, though no longer under its original title, or necessarily under the rubric of its initial, exclusive focus on gender and nationalism.
		The project organized a mini-conference entitled "Rethinking Anderson" at the 1998 Midwest Modern Language Association convention in order to address the following questions: Although nationalism continues to inform, indeed determine, material conditions in the world, why does it appear to have stalled as a subject of scholarship?

	Untitled Document
		Professor Mary Layoun of the Comparative Literature Department led nine UW- Madison students to Cyprus for three weeks of intensive study to explore issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and religion in the context of a divided nation.
		Early on in the seminar I asked Professor Layoun what a possible central question might be for us to explore while in Cyprus.
		In response to my question Professor Layoun explained to everyone in our group that we were to explore the following question, “What lessons can we learn from the Cypriot people?” Although I learned many lessons while in Cyprus, I think the most important lesson was learned from the children Kirsten and I met.

		Mary Layoun, a UW-Madison literature professor, drew cheers for pointing out that America has enough pressing problems at home with poverty, unemployment, citizens who are uninsured and the erosion of civil liberties without starting a war.
		Layoun broke into tears, suddenly revealing her personal feelings as she quietly uttered, "Impeach Bush."
		America has sacrificed its respect as a world leader to defend corporate greed, said Meg Ross of Madison.

	RELEASE: Teaching award recipients represent academic excellence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A founder of UW-Madison's Teaching Academy and the Bradley Learning Community, Layoun's signature always has been her ability to get students actively involved in their own education.
		While active engagement may be a straightforward process in small discussion sections, large undergraduate lectures often present more challenges, Layoun says.
		In fact, she is now developing a class in visual culture, with plans to offer it through the Department of Comparative Literature in fall 1999.

		Layoun presented Alfa's managing director with the Red Cross medal during the occasion.
