Abstract

Ce livre explore la littérature arabe contemporaine par le biais de l'un de ses aspects en particulier : la marginalité. Celle-ci peut s'entendre à divers niveaux : l'étude des oeuvres prenant pour thème la marginalité dans la société arabe - les enfants des rues, les prostituées et autres parias - mais aussi les auteurs considérés comme marginaux, en raison de leur mode de vie par exemple, ou encore les auteurs marginalisés par le pouvoir et la censure, que celle-ci soit officielle ou populaire, étatique ou religieuse. Une autre manière d'entrevoir la marginalité est l'origine géographique des auteurs : de nombreux écrivains contemporains de qualité sont largement ignorés dans le monde arabe en raison de leur origine géographique "périphérique", la littérature soudanaise par exemple n'étant encore aujourd'hui souvent connue, ou reconnue, que par l'oeuvre du seul al-Tayyib Saleh. Enfin, la marginalité littéraire, c'est aussi parfois l'exploration d'un genre littéraire peu exploité par la littérature arabe, la science-fiction par exemple. Ces différentes approches de la marginalité sont réunies dans cet ouvrage.

Abstract

This book covers 60 years of translations, studies, and other writings, which represent Iraq's national literature, including recent works of numerous Iraqi writers living in Western exile. By drawing attention to a largely overlooked but relevant and extensive literature accessible in English, it will serve as an invaluable guide to students of contemporary Iraq, modern Arabic literature and other fields such as women's studies, postcolonial studies, third world literature, American-Arab/Muslim Relations, and disapora studies.

Abstract

The crisis in Israel/Palestine has long been the world's most visible military conflict. Yet the region's cultural and intellectual life remains all but unknown to most foreign observers, which means that literary texts that make it into circulation abroad tend to be received as historical documents rather than aesthetic artefacts. Rhetorics of Belonging examines the diverse ways in which Palestinian and Israeli world writers have responded to the expectation that they will 'narrate' the nation, invigorating critical debates about the political and artistic value of national narration as a reading and writing practice. It considers writers whose work is rarely discussed together, offering new readings of the work of Edward Said, Amos Oz, Mourid Barghouti, Orly Castel-Bloom, Sahar Khalifeh, and Anton Shammas. This book helps to restore the category of the nation to contemporary literary criticism by attending to a context where the idea of the nation is so central a part of everyday experience that writers cannot not address it, and readers cannot help but read for it. It also points a way toward a relational literary history of Israel/Palestine, one that would situate Palestinian and Israeli writing in the context of a history of antagonistic interaction. The book's findings are relevant not only for scholars working in postcolonial studies and Israel/Palestine studies, but for anyone interested in the difficult and unpredictable intersections of literature and politics.
