  • SECULARISM NARRATIVES and ARAB AMERICAN FICTION a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell Univer
    SECULARISM NARRATIVES AND ARAB AMERICAN FICTION A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Danielle Aberle Haque May 2014 © 2014 Danielle Aberle Haque SECULARISM NARRATIVES AND ARAB AMERICAN FICTION Danielle Haque, PhD Cornell University 2014 “Secularism Narratives and Arab American Fiction” focuses on contemporary fiction’s challenge to the liberal political construction of minority religious practices and community life as incompatible with modernity, progress, and secularism. U.S. secularism is not simply the absence of religion from the public sphere, but is underwritten by a particularly U.S. Protestant conception of religion that has historically shaped assumptions about what it means to be both religious and secular in the United States. Looking to Mohja Kahf, Rabih Alameddine, Ninar Esber, Mouir Fatmi, and Hasan Elahi, I explore immigrant narratives that work outside religious/secular binaries; rather than operating unequivocally within the terms of religious categorizations, contemporary writers often recast those terms and respond to the secularism narrative by scrambling the terms of the religious/secular binary through lived, embodied religious experience. These works dispute the dominant United States narrative of secularism and its claim to be universal and progressive; rather, they reveal how prohibitory secularism enforces an exclusionary citizenry through racialized immigration policies, Islamaphobic political rhetoric and popular culture, and the promotion of specific economic forms and ideologies worldwide. I argue that secularism is entangled with global ideologies of human rights, but also with the particularly United States legal discourses of privacy and property.

Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.

Marking the 50th installment for the label, and the 11th full-length of his a song about the deceased?), but that might just be the Danish (now) quartet’s career, Where is another Tejada classic. Taking a delicate approach, using friendly secret weapon. Creating a combination of the best of British and American indie- synth voices, light hits and dynamic mixes, the tracks are full of life and beg to be pop, the Fashion know their way around an infectious, easy hook. The bounce, played either on the club floor or out of your car door. Spacious and extra melodic, tempered with a stretched-out chorus on “Letters From The Ambulance” belie an Tejada knows exactly how to take a simple one bar synth loop and expand it into effortless ability to bring together disparate moods in one song and turn them into a throbbing pulse that makes your foot pound relentlessly. While the tracks keep one accessible entity. There is confusion and messiness on “Like Knives,” which a solid rhythmic drive, the real beauty in the mixes comes from expertly sublime together make it into the perfect scowling statement.
