What to Pack? The Semiotics of Be-Longing(s) of Syrian Displaced Women
This qualitative study focuses on a group of 42 Syrian displaced women who live in Irbid, Jordan. The women went through the traumatic experience of forced eviction from their homes as a consequence of the civil war in Syria. The participants responded to a questionnaire about the most important things that they packed and whether the objects affected their coping with displacement. Our discussion of the socio-semiotic implications of the carried…
Maḥmūd Darwīsh’s Athar al-farāshah
This study of Maḥmūd Darwīsh’s Athar al-farāshah (The Butterfly Effect) (2008)—published in translation as A River Dies of Thirst (2009)—investigates the nuances of the word athar in Darwīsh’s text by focusing on its dual meanings in Arabic as “effect” and “trace.” The semiotic aspects of the butterfly prove to be an important signifier for Darwīsh, articulating a concept of proximity to the other as an overarching ethical and aesthetic aim of Da…
Magical Realism in Ghādah al-Sammān's The Square Moon
This study focuses on the use of magical realism as a means of investigating reality in Ghādah al-Sammān's collection of short stories entitled The Square Moon (al-Qamar al-Murabba'). While her stories suggest new perspectives for what is normally considered "real" through their evocation of "wonder" (al-dahshah), al-Sammān's ultimate goal is to critique contemporary Arab society. Each of her stories targets several problems which are the result …
The Appropriation of Tradition in Selected Works of Contemporary Arab Women Writers
This study aims at discussing the appropriation of traditional material in selected works of contemporary Arab women writers. While such appropriation is conceived as a subversive strategy of self-empowerment, it also offers a venue of cultural self-critique and re-evaluation of the self. Reclaiming the lost tradition of telling stories, these writers assume the role of Shahrazād to contest male dominance. Whether they simply adopt this role, rei…
Mnemonic modes in Emily Nasrallah's A House not her own (Bayt Laysa Lahā)
This study traces the various modes in which memory is represented in this collection of short stories by the Lebanese writer, Emily Nasrallah. By placing the processes of remembering in these stories against the background of violence and "dismemberment" which prevailed in Beirut during the civil war, the study reveals the sense of dislocation and estrangement from "home" which is at the heart of Nasrallah's work. It also dismantles the strategi…
The Uncanny in Ahlām Mustaghānmī's 'Ābir Sarīr

By adopting a textual approach, the study analyzes the major signi fiers of the uncanny, especially the "bed," as it stands out prominently in the novel's title.The discussion of the uncanny unma…
