Female Self-Attack and Suicide in Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North and Liana Badr’s The Eye of the Mirror
Drawing on psychoanalytic and sociocultural theories of suicide and self-harm, this article argues that Hosna’s suicide in Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North (1969) and Aisha’s self-harm in Liana Badr’s The Eye of the Mirror (1994) delineate two psychological modes of the protagonists’ coping with patriarchal oppression.

The article contends that Changez’s decision to acc…
Sulayman Al-Bassam’s The Al Hamlet Summit: Normalisation and Arab treacherous politics
Al-Bassam’s The Al Hamlet Summit (2006), an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1603), presents a cynical comment on the political corruption in the Arab World and it constitutes from a presentist perspective, we argue, an anachronistic critique of some Arab leaders’ lapse into normalisation with the long-standing Other, the Israeli occupation. Al-Bassam captures the political corruption and Arab leaders’ liaison with Israel through the figure of…
