Reading Literature as Theology in Islam. An Introduction and Two Case Studies: Al-Thaʿālibī and Ḥāfiẓ
Our article serves as an introduction to the larger topic for this special issue of Open Theology titled “Reading Literature as Theology.” We make the case that scholarly efforts to understand the history of Islamic theology have been skewed towards the rationalist discipline of ‘ilm al-kalām , with insufficient attention to the modes of theological engagements found in fields like literature, where imagination as a hermeneutical tool plays a sig…
Exploring Literature in Islam Beyond (Secularized) Christian Normativity in Western Academia
Anyone specialising in Islamic theology at a Western university is aware of the fact that their teaching and research will either be recognised by the institution as falling under the category of "Islamic Studies" or "Divinity". In the first case, Islam is predominantly considered a cultural phenomenon and studied as such. In the second case, for reasons that have to do with what Marianne Moyaert in her latest book Christian Imaginations of the R…

The Place and Function of Imagination in Fulani Mystical Poetry (Massina, Mali)
For the Fulani people of Mali, Islam is one of the anchor points of their culture. Their religious poetry, transmitted orally in zāwias, is deeply influenced by mystic interpretation. This can be perceived in two major points: at the level of the signified with the description of personal mystic experiences; and at the level of the signifier, through images and metaphors. Indeed, symbolic, allegorical and metaphorical expressions are, as this cha…
Pour une approche multiscalaire des lieux dévastés: Décharge, Île, Ligne d'Aridité
Face à une crise environnementale de plus en plus aiguë à l'échelle planétaire, un grand nombre de créations littéraires et artistiques prennent en charge la figuration d'espaces dévastés. Dans notre article, nous pensons en particulier à la décharge (Lucie Taïeb), l'île (Chloé Chaudet), et la ligne d'aridité (Claire Gallien). Notre approche critique vise à lier l'étude locale de la dévastation dans ses représentations littéraires et une approche…
Sur la préface d’Edward Said à la traduction anglaise de La Renaissance orientale (1984) de Raymond Schwab: De « l’humanisme intégral » à « l’humanisme démocratique »
Le présent article examine la réception de Schwab dans le domaine anglophone, d’après la préface qu’Edward Said publie pour la traduction anglaise de La Renaissance orientale en 1984. La lecture enthousiaste que fait Said, auteur d’une critique virulente de l’orientalisme, de Schwab, apologiste de la renaissance orientaliste, paraît paradoxale. Je défends l’hypothèse que le rapprochement entre Said et Schwab se joue moins au niveau de l’orientali…
When literature becomes an “enhanced national security threat”: Literary interventions of the “terrorist” and “terrorist” interventions of literature
This article focuses on the literary productions in prose and verse by or related to Muslim Guantánamo detainees. They are redacted documents directly written or translated into English. The purpose of this essay is to read “terrorist” literature para-doxically and argue that US authorities may be right in claiming that it represents a “national security threat”, but not in the meaning initially purveyed. Indeed, marked by the black bars of redac…
Refugee Literature: What postcolonial theory has to say

Forcing displacement: The postcolonial interventions of refugee literature and arts
In Postcolonial Asylum, David Farrier explains why refugee experiences have been considered as a "scandal" for postcolonial studies, but also how they have become central to the field, insofar as they reflect the violence and unevenness of the current world order. If geography, political philosophy and law have analysed current "refugee crises", the literature and arts produced by or about forcefully displaced people have remained understudied. T…
The Edinburgh Companion to the Arab Novel in English. The Politics of Anglo Arab and Arab American Literature and Culture
Arab literature in English is not a new phenomenon and can be traced back to the early 20th century, with the works of Ameen Rihani and Khalil Gibran. Yet the story of this branch of literature is ...
Eighteenth‐Century Orientalism in Contemporary British Historiography and Literary Criticism
To speak about orientalism now is to explain the persistent concern, among academic and non‐academic readers and writers alike, with the transformative effect of Edward Said's (1978). Said's text has been taken as a challenge by historians of society and of literature alike. To these scholars, the book offered a vast new field of inquiry into the relationship between European and colonial history, between cultural production and capitalism, and b…
Manuels d’arabe d’hier et d’aujourd’hui: France et Maghreb, XIXe-XXIe siècle
Mieux connaître les caractéristiques des manuels de langue arabe composés et utilisés en France et dans l’empire colonial français, tel était l’objectif de la journée d’étude « Manuels d’arabe d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. France et Maghreb, XIXe-XXIe siècle », qui s’est déroulée le 29 septembre 2009 à la Bibliothèque nationale de France. La publication issue de cette journée d’études fait dialoguer des contributions sur les manuels en usage aux XIXe …
Supplément oriental et inspiration poétique
Cet article analyse le rapport de la littérature orientale traduite au canon littéraire anglais du XVIIIe siècle en termes de «supplément » . En effet, dès le début du siècle, auteurs et essayistes anglais justifient l’intégration du style et des tropes orientaux afin de combler les manques expressifs et figuratifs de la littérature anglaise. Dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, les auteurs et poètes appartenant aux courants sentimentaliste, …
