Abstract

In a time when it seems that the gap of understanding between the West and the Middle East continues to widen, Scheherazade's Legacy builds a bridge between the two cultures. Collected here are the voices of those who define the genre of Arab Anglophone writing - that literature that describes the cultural experiences of those with Arab identities living, and often writing, in the West. This collection is one of the first books to assemble the voices of women writers of Arab descent on the subject of writing itself.

Abstract

Dit is wellicht de eerste grondige studie gewijd aan de vooraanstaande Arabische feministe en schrijfster Nawal El Sadaawi. Bedoeling is na te gaan of en waarom El Sadaawi's proza niet alleen polemische retoriek maar ook literatuur is. De auteur besteedt veel aandacht aan de situering van El Sadaawi's werk in de islamitische en Arabische context en in de klassieke en moderne Arabische literatuur. Daaraan wordt een uitgebreide close reading van haar prozawerk gekoppeld.

Abstract

Feminism and Avant-Garde Aesthetics in the Levantine Novel examines the aesthetics of existentialism, critical realism, and surrealism in contemporary feminist literature in the Levant. It focuses on the novels of the Syrian writer Gh?dah al-Samm?n (b. 1942), the Palestinian Sahar Khal?feh (b. 1941), and the Lebanese Hud? Barak?t (b. 1952) and argues that their mediations of the Lebanese Civil War of 1975-1990 and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (especially since 1967) led to the development of a feminism specific to the Levant through avant-garde literary aesthetics. Writing in response to war and national crisis, al-Samm?n, Khal?feh, and Barak?t introduce into the Arabic literary canon aesthetic forms capable of carrying Levantine women's experiences. By assessing their feminism in such a way, this book aims to revive a critical emphasis on aesthetics in Arab women's writing. Moreover, by setting literary representations of gender and sexuality in both national and regional contexts, it highlights 'the Levant' as an interstitial space that inspired new forms of Arab feminism.
