The Embodiment of Trauma
In recent decades, Arab authors have explored traumatic events and the consequences of collective trauma on people, underscoring how these provoke imperceptible or ignored disturbances and changes in behaviour and attitudes, as well as analysing how repressive political systems concur in undermining identity.A special side of this mechanism is the effects of trauma on the body, the only concrete thing people possess.Therefore, alienation and tran…
Ḥammūd Ramaḍān
Starting from Pierre Bourdieu’s claim that “the impetus for change” — what I identify with modernity — “resides in the struggles that take place in the corresponding fields of production” (Bourdieu 1995: 81), and from a reading of literary texts I discussed elsewhere (Guardi 2016), in this paper I will present the life and work of Ḥammūd Ramaḍān (1906–1945). My aim is to highlight the “impetus for change” that occurred in the Algerian literary fi…
Introduction
In the last decade, the field of Nahḍah Studies has been gathering momentum. Scholars from different subject-areas have highlighted several aspects of the 19th–early 20th century cultural fervor in the Arab and south Mediterranean area. Accordingly, the whole set of Nahḍah narratives has been readdressed. By “ Nahḍah narratives” we mean both the set of theoretical readings, definitions and views developed by the nahḍawī groundswell, itself and th…
“I am My Language”. Arabic Language in English Writing in Ahdaf Soueif’s Work
In this paper the author will examine how the Egyptian writer Ahdaf Soueif, although writing in English, uses the Arabic language as a narrative tool in her novels, especially in the one entitled In the Eye of the Sun.Starting from the Chicano writer Gloria E. Anzaldúa's statements about the use of different languages as presented in Borderland/La frontera, the author will argue that Soueif's strategy is a powerful tool that challenges the Britis…
Reassessing Algerian Arab Modernity
Women leadership in the Mosque
Starting from the Friday woman lead prayer held in 2005 in New York, I focus in this paper on the role Muslim contemporary women play in shaping Muslim societies and communities to assert their authoritative role “in the mosque”. I begin by setting the scene of the event and, after a brief discussion of its symbolic meaning, I address two main questions: first, how the debate which followed the event contributed and contributes to promote a chang…
Epistemology and Education
The text whose translation I present here deals with feminist epistemology in the Muslim world. As the epistemological assumptions are different from that of Western feminist thought, I introduce it to make the reader familiar with some basic concepts. I consider this text a classic in its field as it is a fundamental text for the development of Muslim feminist thought, a thought whose beginning can be placed in the second half of the twentieth c…
Mapping Frontiers Across Medieval Islam
Women Reading the Qur' ̄n
Can a woman be a Muslim and a feminist? This is the question that most often comes up from the public when we pause to analyze the latest women's readings of the sacred text of Islam. Here I'll try to answer this question, thanks to the help of some Muslim experts in Qur'ānic hermeneutics. With a reading that demonstrates how Muslim women can fight for freedom within the exegeses of the Qur'ān, contrary to what conservative (because they've given…
