From ‘flaying’, ‘Ascension’ and ‘red garden-beet’ to ‘wolves’ and ‘sweet dishes’: The Stunning Semantic Variety in the Arabic Root SLQ as a Touchstone for Arabic Etymologists
The following article can serve as yet another report from the workshop of an Etymological Dictionary of Arabic ( EtymArab).1 Work on a ‘zero version’ of such a dictionary has seen (slow but) steady progress since several years now. Taking the root √SLQ as an example, this contribution gives an idea about the high potential of such a project, but also shows its clear actual limits. The enormous spectrum of semantic values covered by √SLQ—one may …

The Modern Subject Sensing its Agency: "Khalīl al-Khūrī's Aesthetics of "Truth Mingled with Passion
In the introduction to what is often labelled "the first Arabic novel", Khalīl al-Khūrī's Way, idhan lastu bi-Ifranjī (1859), the author not only criticises contemporary Westernisation, but also outlines a new aesthetics that integrates authenticity, logical plausibility, and passion (hawas). This article explains how al-Khūrī's advocacy of the "indigenous way of life", literary authenticity, and an emotionalisation of writing belong together. Th…

Individuality Lost, Fun Gained: Some Recurrent Motifs in Late Twentieth-Century Arabic and Turkish Novels
Starting from an alternative description, based mainly on German literature, of what has come to be called ‘postmodernism’, the present study re-examines Arabic and Turkish novels from the 1980s and 1990s in the light of this description. It is argued that the descriptive categories developed on the basis of European texts also make sense for texts from the Middle East and North Africa, suggesting that the way life is perceived in these regions a…

This introduction presents the idea as well as the theoretical, methodological and ethical background of the In 2016 project, a research project that looks into the realities of everyday life and other post-revolutionary lifeworlds (Lebenswelten) in Egypt and Tunisia. Its aim is to provide a kind of ‘encyclopedia of 2016’ that enables users, in a snapshot portrait of one year, to ‘jump right into’ and move around (via crossreferences) in post-rev…

This article presents and discusses the monumental ‘etymological dictionary’, or ‘lexicon’, al-Muʕǧam alištiqāqī al-muʔaṣṣal, by the late Egyptian professor of Arabic language at al-Azhar University, Muḥammad Ḥasan Ḥasan Gabal (d. 2015), and tries to situate it on the map of positions taken in Arabic and Semitic Studies in the West regarding the question whether or not the triradical roots of the Arabic and Semitic lexicon may have developed, via…

The Poetics of Urban Space: Structures of Literarising Egyptian Metropolis
T his article is the outcome of a seminary held at Berne University with students of the intermediate level of Arabic (3rd year). The texts that we built upon were chosen mainly to meet pedagogical requirements (not too long, a translation preferably available, diVerent periods covered, etc.). I have however been careful to ensure a certain degree of 'typicality', and therefore 'generalisability', with regard to stylistic features and thematic as…
