Le poète et essayiste Henri Thuile (1885-1960) compte parmi les silhouettes les plus discrètes, mais également les plus influentes, de l'Égypte littéraire du début du xxe siècle : sa demeure du Mex, dans les faubourgs d'Alexandrie, fut pendant près de vingt ans le point de ralliement d'auteurs de toutes les origines. Dans Littérature et Orient, publié en 1921, il nous livre à travers trente lettres adressées à son ami Stéphanos Pargas une réflexion fascinante sur les liens culturels entre l'Europe et le monde islamique. Son inspiration nous emmène dans une promenade éclairée à travers la poésie de Francis Jammes, les mosquées du Caire, les cultes hellénistiques, les œuvres de Gide et de Claudel, les paysages de la mer Rouge : d'inattendus échos se créent entre des réalités infiniment lointaines, des passerelles s'établissent entre « littérature » et « Orient ». Ce livre est la première réédition de l'essai d'Henri Thuile, salué en son temps par la NRF et le Mercure de France. Précédé d'une préface de François Livi, qui situe son auteur dans le paysage de la francophonie égyptienne et dans l'histoire de l'orientalisme, le texte de Littérature et Orient est complété par des notes explicatives et un dossier critique établis par Paul-André Claudel. Le dossier rassemble des témoignages sur l'auteur, des photographies, des documents divers sur la réception de l'ouvrage dans l'entre-deux-guerres, aussi bien en France qu'en Égypte.

Why and under what circumstances did the religion of Islam emerge in a remote part of Arabia at the beginning of the seventh century? Traditional scholarship maintains that Islam developed in opposition to the idolatrous and polytheistic religion of the Arabs of Mecca and the surrounding regions. In this study of pre-Islamic Arabian religion, G. R. Hawting adopts a comparative religious perspective to suggest an alternative view. By examining the various bodies of evidence which survive from this period, the Koran and the vast resources of the Islamic tradition, the author argues that in fact Islam arose out of conflict with other monotheists whose beliefs and practices were judged to fall short of true monotheism and were, in consequence, attacked polemically as idolatry. The author is adept at unravelling the complexities of the source material, and students and scholars will find his argument both engaging and persuasive.

The volume brings together approaches to different elements of Arabic-Islamic civilization, mainly in the areas of linguistics, literature, literary theory, and prosody, but also including religion, ritual, economics, and zoology. Contributions also touch upon the adjacent areas of the Old Iranian, Persian, Greek and Byzantine written traditions. Some take as their points of departure specific Arabic words (cat, giraffe) or morphemes; others explore literary genres, subgenres (oration, ode, macaronic poem, travel narrative) or figures within them (the trickster, the devil). Cultural concepts such as wishing, gift-giving or discourse are treated, as are aspects of broader phenomena, such as the role of gender in dream interpretation or the relative merits of luxury goods and mass-produced commodities.

L’orientalisme des arabisants français, fortement controversé pour son implication dans la politique d’expansion coloniale, n’avait pas encore été l’objet d’une enquête historique fouillée. A travers une analyse de leurs carrières, de leurs publications et de leurs prises de position, l’ouvrage restitue les enjeux savants et politiques de leur action, inscrite dans le contexte culturel général d’un large XIXe siècle. Il permet de réapprécier l’intérêt d’auteurs souvent oubliés, qui ont à la fois travaillé à la constitution d’un patrimoine arabe et musulman et participé à la mise en œuvre d’un projet impérial aux effets destructeurs. The orientalism of french Arabists is a highly controversial point because of their involvment in colonial expansionism; it has for this reason not been an historical scope of investigation yet. Through an analysis of their careers, their publications and intellectual positions, this book presents the political and scholarly issues of their action, in the cultural context of a large 19th century. The rediscovery of forgotten authors will foster interest for their works, which have taken part in Arab and Muslim heritage as well as in the destructive effects of the imperialist policy of France.

From the middle of the eighth century to the tenth century, almost all non-literary and non-historical secular Greek books, including such diverse topics as astrology, alchemy, physics, botany and medicine, that were not available throughout the eastern Byzantine Empire and the Near East, were translated into Arabic.Greek Thought, Arabic Culture explores the major social, political and ideological factors that occasioned the unprecedented translation movement from Greek into Arabic in Baghdad, the newly founded capital of the Arab dynasty of the 'Abbasids', during the first two

The last couple of decades have witnessed a flourishing of Arab-American literature across multiple genres. Yet, increased interest in this literature is ironically paralleled by a prevalent bias against Arabs and Muslims that portrays their long presence in the US as a recent and unwelcome phenomenon. Spanning the 1990s to the present, Carol Fadda-Conrey takes in the sweep of literary and cultural texts by Arab-American writers in order to understand the ways in which their depictions of Arab homelands, whether actual or imagined, play a crucial role in shaping cultural articulations of US citizenship and belonging. By asserting themselves within a US framework while maintaining connections to their homelands, Arab-Americans contest the blanket representations of themselves as dictated by the US nation-state.Deploying a multidisciplinary framework at the intersection of Middle-Eastern studies, US ethnic studies, and diaspora studies, Fadda-Conrey argues for a transnational discourse that overturns the often rigid affiliations embedded in ethnic labels. Tracing the shifts in transnational perspectives, from the founders of Arab-American literature, like Gibran Kahlil Gibran and Ameen Rihani, to modern writers such as Naomi Shihab Nye, Joseph Geha, Randa Jarrar, and Suheir Hammad, Fadda-Conrey finds that contemporary Arab-American writers depict strong yet complex attachments to the US landscape. She explores how the idea of home is negotiated between immigrant parents and subsequent generations, alongside analyses of texts that work toward fostering more nuanced understandings of Arab and Muslim identities in the wake of post-9/11 anti-Arab sentiments.
