The Symbolism of Nature in the Mamluk Munāẓara
The literary debate is a distinctive genre of the Arabic literary tradition. Emerging in the Abbasid era, it flourished in Mamluk Egypt, when many compositions in prose and in verses have been produced, exhibiting a wide variety of animate or inanimate actants and themes. These texts have been composed for entertainment, with a didactic function, to comment on or symbolically represent aspects of the social reality. In this article, we will focus…
Iḥsān ʿAbd al-Quddūs’ Paths to Freedom Between Journalism and Popular Fiction in the Novel "Anā Ḥurra" (I Am Free)
Iḥsān ʿAbd al-Quddūs (1919-1990) is one of the best-known journalists in the history of Egyptian political journalism. He began his career at Rūz al-Yūsuf magazine, founded by his mother, the celebrated actress and journalist who named the journal after herself. He was also a famed author of popular fiction, which was serialised in Egyptian mainstream weeklies from the late forties through the eighties. His name is associated with mass readership…
Women’s Devotion to the Prophet as Reflected in the Literary Construction of a Non-Canonical Mawlid Narrative
The Kitāb al-anwār attributed to Abū al-Ḥasan al-Bakrī continues to be, after many centuries, a mysterious narrative, and his alleged author even more enigmatic.

In this article we will focus on one of its most peculiar features, that is, the detailed and emotional representation of female characters and the woman’s realm. We will argue…
Religione e regionalismo nell’Egitto ottomano attraverso una ricognizione dei generi e dei temi della letteratura religiosa
In this paper we will examine how religious literature in Ottoman Egypt (16th–19th century), in continuity with the production of the Mamluk period, contributed to celebrate the geographical boundary in order to claim the lost centrality of Egypt, at that time a province of the Ottoman Empire. We will focus on genres and themes of this literature, which has intensified a feeling of belonging to the land that has influenced the nationalist thought…
Khiṭaṭ al-Ghīṭānī
In a large part of his literary production, the Egyptian novelist Jamāl al-Ghīṭānī (1945-2015) aimed at rewriting the Arabic literary heritage in order to contest the Western novel hegemony and criticising Gamal Abdel Nasser (Jamāl ʿAbd al-Nāṣir) and Anwar Sadat’s (Anwar al-Sādāt) authoritarianism. In this study we will analyse his novel Khiṭaṭ al-Ghīṭānī (1981), in which the author narrates the police state and the free market economy applying t…
