Constructing Meaning through Visual Form
This paper examines the relationship between visual form and verbal meaning in John Ecko’s Signs of Life: A Book of Visual Poetry (2009) through the theoretical perspective of Structuralism and Semiotics. It analyses how typographic choices such as spacing, shape, and layout contribute to the interpretive process. In doing so, the study demonstrates how visual organization enriches the reader’s interpretive process. Through close textual and visu…
Between Rootedness and Alienation
The overlapping of the theoretical framework of Ecocriticism and Postcolonialism highlights the interdisciplinarity between the environment and literature and the possibility of using elements of either of them to reflect and overwhelm the other. This overlap becomes a significant case study in depicting Anglophone writers' yearning in the diaspora or at home while writing about their homelands, reflecting their longing to belong while suffering …
A Critique of Etaf Rum's A Woman Is No Man
Literature of diaspora has lately been widely acknowledged since the disporic generation embraces Homi Baba's belief that "nations are narrations". For them, displacement combines the notions of de- and re-inhabitation that are often regarded as related yet distinguishable processes of memory and identity formation. Not surprisingly, the displacement experience has given rise to their consciousness of the importance of constructing a counter-narr…
Tracing the Shadows of War in Sinan Antoon’s The Book of Collateral Damage
As a literary text, The Book of Collateral Damage (2019) by Arab American novelist Sinan Antoon effectively represents the psychological impact of the Iraq War in 2003. This article utilizes trauma theory to explore how the war narrative in Antoon’s novel probes the event of this war to represent the experiences that Iraqi individuals had from living through it. By analyzing Antoon’s embodiment for the trauma of the Iraqis and their memory crisis…
The Civil War Female Refugee and Assimilation
Female refugees go through numerous stages and transformations during the asylum-seeking process, all of which leave their imprint on their individuality over time. This forced journey, the fleeing of a war-torn country, the search for shelter and safety in the host country, as well as a plethora of other factors, all have a bearing on the refugee's assimilation or lack thereof. This article aims to demonstrate the journey of assimilation that th…
The Positive Impact of Pandemics in Two Selected Speculative Narratives
This article examines Stephen Soderbergh’s film Contagion (2011) and Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven (2014) as a critique of the uncivilized culture of our modern society, which depends on fragile connections and lack of solidarity. Although global pandemics annihilate the world and shatter families, this study demonstrates how they are depicted as a positive tool of change, serving as a force that exposes then undermines the deep-rooted c…
The Marginalization of the Palestinian in Philip Roth’s Operation Shylock
This paper approaches Philip Roth’s semi-autobiographical novel Operation Shylock (1993), an appropriation of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, from a postcolonial angle attempting to find an answer to Spivak’s question: Can the Subaltern Speak? It focuses on how Philip Roth silences the Palestinian “Other” in his narrative telling the story of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from a Zionist perspective. More interestingly, the study explains…
Ibsen’s Arab Journey
This article sheds light on the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s interest in Egypt and the Arab world. It underscores the influence of his tour in Egypt during the opening of the Suez Canal on his works, drawing on the theoretical underpinnings established by Edward W. Said. The study foregrounds Ibsen’s correspondence, plays, and other works that include references to his two-month stay in Egypt and to his encounter with the Arab culture. Ibs…
Empowering Muslims in Leila Aboulela’s Minaret and Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf
Diasporic Arab writers substantially differ in how they represent aspects of contemporary Arabic culture(s) in their literary works and diasporic Arab women writers have represented Islam even more differently in their works. The study investigates how Islam is portrayed in the fiction of two diasporic Arab women writers, Leila Aboulela (b. 1964- ) and Mohja Kahf. (1967- ). General literary research has been conducted on these two writers and how…
Shakespeare’s Orientalism Revisited
This article attempts to document and examine the corpus of Arabic and Islamic allusions and references in Shakespeare’s drama and poetry in line with postcolonial discourse and theory. The works of Shakespeare incorporate a large body of Arabic/Islamic matters, which the Bard has gleaned from different sources, such as travel literature, narratives of pilgrims, history annals and common tales of the Crusaders. However, these matters are sporadic…
Hamlet in Arabic
This paper intends to discuss the various treatments of Hamlet in Arabic culture. The study will reveal that Shakespeare's much discussed play has also become a subject of continual interest in Arabic writings. The play has been diversely interpreted and innovatively treated in Arabic belles‐lettres. The paper aims to highlight these areas in particular: (1) early reception; (2) translation and performance; (3) literary uses; and (4) critical res…
