Individual and Social Ramifications of Epidemics in the Saudi Novels
This paper analyzes two Saudi novels within the context of pandemics, employing a cultural imperialism perspective. The novel Humma Qifar حـمـى قـفـار (Fever of Qifar, 2003) is set against the backdrop of the oil boom in Saudi Arabia during the 1950s, while Safer Berlik سفر برلك (Mobilization, 2019) takes place during World War I, in the context of troop mobilization by the Turks and the forced deportation of Arabs to Damascus. These novels docum…
Bio-Medical Discourse and Oriental Metanarratives on Pandemics in the Islamicate World from the Sixteenth to Nineteenth Centuries
This paper examines the writings of European travelers, chaplains, and resident doctors on pandemics in the Mediterranean regions from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Using French comparative literary theory, the article highlights how Muslim communities in Egypt, Turkey, Aleppo, and Mecca were stereotyped based on their belief in predestination, their failure to avoid contamination, and their lack of social distancing during plague outbreaks. Th…
Muslim precarity
By focusing on epidemics that cut across time and space, this article analyses William Wittman’s Travels in Turkey, Asia Minor, Syria: and across the Desert into Egypt during the Years 1799, 1800, and 1801 (1804); John Lewis Burckhardt’s Travels in Arabia, Comprehending an Account of those Territories in Hedjaz which the Mohammedans regard as Sacred (1829); and recent COVID-19-related media narratives. This article suggests that the orientalist a…
Narratives of Plague in Arab Societies through the Lens of Select Western Travelers
To examine the narratives of plagues in Arab societies, the paper, along with the postcolonial perspectives, uses the concepts like ‘empathy’ or ‘detached concern’ to bring fresh and new understanding of the travel texts. It selected John Antes’ Observations on the Manners and Customs of the Egyptians, the Overflowing of the Nile and its Effects (1800) and Richard F. Burton’s Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to El-Medinah and Meccah (1857) for …
Narratives of Epidemics
Corpus of literature is replete with works that feature pandemics as central themes. As a response to diseases outbreaks, fiction writers portray the human condition and the shifts in human behaviour at these crucial junctures of human history. Plot structure and characterization accounts for the void –both within and without—: prevailing chaos, crumbling social structures, undermining of religious values, and Government’s apathy. Based on such t…
Saudi Novelists’ Response to Terrorism Through Fiction
The post-9/11 period has posited new questions for the Saudi society that required answers from different perspectives. The Saudi novelists tackled the issue of terrorism in their works and tried to define it and dig for its roots. Some blame the dominant religious-based culture for this phenomenon asking for more openness in the Saudi culture. Others take a defensive approach of the religious discourse blaming outside factors for this phenomenon…
