Qamarayn
This two-part article argues that the earliest Arabic manuscripts of the 1001 Nights celebrate sameness, especially physical sameness, in sexual relationships to the extent that a category of erotic embodiment emerges that cannot be understood through a binary construction of sex. The first part of the article proposes a reading of a fifteenth-century manuscript that takes its descriptions of beautiful bodies on their own terms. Eroticized charac…

Routes and Realms
Antrim's entry on the faculty page of Trinity College, Hartford, CT reveals. It consists of an introduction and three chapters (homeland, cities, regions). It purports to establish that there was a 'discourse of place' in a broad range of texts and a more limited range of images (i.e., maps) that were produced, mostly in Arabic, during the first centuries of the Abbasid dynasty.

Damascus after the Muslim conquest
Routes and Realms
This book explores the ways in which Muslims expressed attachment to land from the ninth through the eleventh centuries, the earliest period of intensive written production in Arabic. The conceptual innovation at the heart of the book is its identification of a “discourse of place,” a framework for approaching formal texts devoted to the representation of territory across genres. The discourse of place included such varied works as topographical …
Ibn Asakir's Representations of Syria and Damascus in the Introduction to the Ta Rikh Madinat Dimashq
