Language movements in Sri Lanka and Pakistan: Exploring global conflicts of language and cultural rights with other human rights
By following Johann Gottfried Herder's cultural nationalism, the paper illustrates the centrality of languages in the formation of modern nation states. Herder further enables us to comprehend the significance of a common cultural core for national unity; the negative role of uniformity that leads to exclusionary policies; and the development of dissension into armed conflicts among ethnicities and nations. Thus, Herder reveals that linguistic na…
Edward Said’s Concept of Exile: Identity and Cultural Migration in the Middle East
Edward Said was an exiled individual – the ‘out of place’ Palestinian in the USA. He saw the consequences of the 1948 dismantling of Palestine and the establishment of Israel through his parents' experiences and through the collective statelessness imposed on the Palestinians. His own personal experience of exile intensified when he moved to the USA. Yet despite the significance of exile to Said’s life and work, no scholarship has yet focused on …
Mahmoud Darwish's Poetry as Sumud: Palestinian Resistance to Israeli Occupation and Subjugation
This essay makes explicit the connection between Palestinian resistance to Israeli control and the principle of sumud. Drawing on Raja Shehadeh and Ismail Shammout, I define this concept and show its strategic role in the resistance. Arguably, critics have identified Darwish's constant pursuit of aesthetics and his deep commitment to the Palestinian cause without linking them to the narrative of sumud. I suggest that his contribution to the narra…
Life Would be a Meaningless Game and a Bad Joke’ Without Freedom: Naguib Mahfouz as an Oppositional Writer
Mahfouz is generally known as a master ‘storyteller’ of Cairo. However, he can also be read as a great resistance writer, if we depend on Edward Said’s idea of the oppositional intellectual as a humanist writer who uncompromisingly unmasks the workings of power in society. I argue that a remarkable humanism works at the heart of Mahfouz’s adversarial project by reading The Cairo Trilogy as a counter-hegemonic piece, rather than only as a familial…
Nawal el Saadawi as a Saidian ‘ Amateur ’
Edward Said's idea is that intellectuals should be ‘amateurs’, in the French sense of the term, in order to be involved with knowledge production out of their passion and keen interest, rather than as a duty-bound job. This should generate excitement and create dedication in their explorations and activism in and out of their professional fields. Following this idea, I argue in this paper how Egypt's radical feminist, Nawal el Saadawi, a physicia…
