Exploring the Quest for Identity Through Archetypal Analysis of Feminism Inspired by Asian Historical Literature Films
Disney films began in 1937 and often featured the typical Disney princess. However, in later years, inspired by the feminist wave, Disney decided to change the concept of the Disney princess image. Changes in the Disney princess tropes include characterization, symbolism, themes, and issues. This paper intends to adopt an eclectic approach and analyze from the perspective of feminism. Based on Princess Jasmine's the image characteristics, this pa…

Fādil Al-Samarra'ī's Contribution to Literary and Rhetorical Exegesis of the Qur'an
This article explores and assesses Fādil al-Samarrā'ī's contribution to literary and rhetorical Qur'anic exegesis, especially regarding the rhetorical inimitability of the Qur'an. The article looks at how al-Samarrā'ī approaches the Qur'anic text to reveal its miraculous expressional secrets and its rhetorical inimitability with mere Arabic linguistic tools while giving contexts high priority in his analyses and interpretations. Al-Samarrā'ī was …
Cultural and Semantic Challenges in Arberry’s Translation of the Qur’anic Dialogue
This paper examines cultural and semantic challenges in translating Qur’anic dialogue from Arabic to English. Using Arthur Arberry’s translation as a case study, this study aims: to find Arberry's translation strategies to render Qur’anic dialogue between God and Moses from Arabic into English, and assess whether these strategies are successful in revealing the intended message. This study compares Arberry’s translation with al-Hilālī and Khān's …
The sophisticated Islamic civilisations of Western Sub-Saharan Africa between the 13th and 19th centuries
Islamic Arabic culture in the past extended to what is known as "Western Sudan". In academic literature, "Western Sudan" refers to a large part of West Africa and, in this article, I will be using "West Africa" instead of "Western Sudan"
Role of Context and Objectives of the Surah in Shaping the Episodes of the Qur’ānic Narrative
The Qur’anic way of presenting the story of Lot and his people is distinguished by repetition, summation, elaboration, elision, brevity, similarity, and variation. This article suggests that every episode of the narrative of Lot differs from the others in the series through its ownidentity, which is acquired from the surah in which it appears. Thus, each episode is woven into its own specific and general framework. Although there are general and …
Intertextuality and West African Arabic Poetry
Nigerian Arabic poetry of the 19th and 20th centuries deliberately intertexts with and alludes to classical Arabic poetry, the foundational texts of Islam, the religious poetry of the first century of Islam and with Arabian poetry in general. Arabic poets of West Africa sometimes use lines, ideas and themes that enlarge their poetry in order to bring into the consciousness of the reader/listener what he or she already knows or holds in high estee…
Intertext and Allusion in the Qur’anic Presentation of Noah’s Story
This study explores the Qur’anic presentation of the story of Noah and his people. In particular, it examines the purposes behind the variations and similarities found in the s ́rahs that mention it and focuses on three fundamental aspects: linguistic or stylistic variations, religious or moral purposes that determine a particular linguistic or stylistic register and contextualize the story within a particular s ́rah, and the extent to which the …
Arabic Poetry in West Africa
This article explores the form and content of West African Arabic poetry, with particular reference to Nigeria and Senegal. It analyses several key poetic features of this region of West Africa, with the focus on nineteenth and twentieth century poetry. The historical context is both the period of European colonisation and the pre-colonial period. The article suggests that Arabic poetry was a much older tradition in the region, that it was in no …
