Untranslatability and Cultural Encounters in Arab-Anglophone Literature
Culture is not entirely translatable. Cultural meaning, however, is. Nevertheless, culture-bound terms and expressions, on the one hand, defy verbatim translation and provide an opportunity for intercultural encounters, on the other. This paper qualitatively interrogates the problem of cultural translatability and its relation to cultural in-betweenness in the cultural zone of contact between Arab Muslim immigrants and Westerners. Translation is …
Harold Bloom and William Shakespeare
Harold Bloom’s The Western Canon (1994) and Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human (1999) represent a scholar’s take on a major figure in Western literature, namely, William Shakespeare. All figures, according to Bloom, either converge upon or take their point of departure from Shakespeare in a way that rehabilitates the myth of the Original Englishman and accordingly recreates a Western canon, some universal anthology, whose centre is Shakespea…
Abdellatif Laâbi
“Poets”, writes Hannah Arendt, “are to be quoted and not talked about, and their sin is to be unreliable”. Abdellatif Laâbi’s sin, the sin of sins, is that he has in fact been too reliable –vis-à-vis his audience, readers, and literature. This essay probes the relationship between the Man and the poet in dark times, emphasizing three moments: Souffles , an event and incubating matrix that helped define a momentous juncture in the history of post-…
"Gradual Exile" by Mahmoud Darwish
Very few poets can claim to embrace in the fabric of their work the systole and diastole of the times, but Mahmoud Darwish stands today as a poet who encapsulated the experiences of many Palestinia
Conclusion
It is no overstatement to argue that the ‘saintly rogue’ of Spivak’s writings and voluminous dissertations is deconstruction as both theory and practice and the anxiety to put those insights and apertures to specific effects. As I argued above in Part I, the main objective of Spivak’s project seems to be the engagement with and vulgarization of deconstruction to a large readership. Therefore, to use notions very central to the Russian Formalists,…
Representation and Resistance
Though a portmanteau concept, postcolonialism is a strategy of reading whose guiding premises, working principles and theoretical yardsticks are grounded in bringing to crisis all normative discourses, time-setting notions and master theories. Its project of committing critical violence on the discourse of colonialism has entailed a face-t o-face engagement with a variety of topics as migration, slavery, suppression, resistance, representation, i…
Feminism and the Risks of High Theory
Spivak's critique of First World Feminism on the basis of the parochiality of its concerns may lead us as well to wonder if this condemnation of High Feminism can turn into a condemnation of Spivak herself; for her theorization of the clitoris as the site of woman's liberation hides the hideous truth that in the Third World, whereof she is taken as a proxy in the West, other concerns and preoccupations haunt women. Moreover, it displays how livin…
