  • ARABIC LITERATURE – Postclassical Period Devin J Stewart, Ph.D
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE ARABIC LITERATURE – Postclassical Period Devin J Stewart, Ph.D. Classical Poetry : Qasidah (Ode) The “Hanging Odes”, the Dichotomy of Chaste and Not-So-Chaste Love, Wine-Poetry, Mystical Poetry, and other uses of the classical ode (qasidah) The pre-Islamic Ode. The pre-Islamic poet `Antarah ibn Shaddad wrote, “Have the poets left a song unsung?” Already in the pre-Islamic period, Arabic poetry had a long and venerable tradition. The most prestigious art form of the Arabs, it served many roles in society. The earliest recorded sources reveal that the most valued form of Arabic poetry was the qasidah or ode, a form that is still in use today, having enjoyed a life of over fifteen centuries. The qasidah varied in length from about 30 to 100 lines, adopted monorhyme, and consisted of individual verses (bayt) made up of two hemistichs (misra`), with a caesura in the middle. By convention, the first hemistich in the first verse of the poem also rhymed with the second hemistich—the same monorhyme—in an effect termed tasri`. Critics identified sixteen distinct meters, all quantitative, involving set patterns of long and short syllables like the meters of Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit poetry. The qasidah was typically tripartite, beginning with an amatory prelude (nasib), which portrayed the poet traveling in the desert and coming across the abandoned campsite of a former love; the intensity of the emotion evoked by the traces or ruins (atlal) of his loved cause him to compose a poem. The middle section of the poem, the journey (rahil), described the hardships the poet went through in order to reach the patron or the audience.

  • Inspiring Passion for Arabic Poems Among Non-Native Speakers of Arabic in Malaysia
    8-10 September 2014- Istanbul, Turkey 983 Proceedings of SOCIOINT14- International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities INSPIRING PASSION FOR ARABIC POEMS AMONG NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS OF ARABIC IN MALAYSIA Rahmah Ahmad Osman1 1Assoc. Prof. Dr. International Islamic University Malaysia, [email protected] Abstract The method of teaching literature at a secondary or tertiary level has always been a matter of interest and a topic of discussion in many countries. However, not until recently has the role and importance of literature in the English and Arabic as the first or second level classrooms been given emphasis. This study examines how Arabic poems and proverbs can be used as effective methods in the teaching and learning of Arabic to non-native speakers in Malaysia. It proposes that new and more innovative and effective methods should be introduced to replace the current conventional methods of teaching Arabic. The teaching of literature; i.e., Arabic poems and proverbs requires a passion for literature itself. When the passion for literature has been instilled, language learners will enjoy their literature courses, and find them to be easier than before they had this awareness. As a result of the learners‟ advancement and acquired appreciation, they are able to access the vast linguistic treasures Arabic literature has to offer and therefore, simultaneously improve their competence in Arabic. Keywords: Inspiring. Passion. Arabic Poems. Non-Native Speakers. Malaysia. 1 INTRODUCTION In order to comprehend and appreciate the notion that passion for literature itself is vital in the teaching of literature, a discussion on the methods employed in teaching Arabic in Malaysia at this juncture seems appropriate.

  • Cultural Content Analysis of Eight Arabic Textbooks Targeting English
    1 Analysis of Arabic Cultural Aspects in Three Main Arabic Textbooks A THESIS Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Graduate Studies and Research of California University of Pennsylvania in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Sciences by Radhouane Boubaya Research Advisor, Dr. Razak Abedalla-Surrey California, Pennsylvania 2020 3 Acknowledgments I want to thank my supervisor Dr. Razak Abedalla-Surrey for his valuable guidance and the members of my thesis committee, Dr. Arcides Gonzalez and Dr. Abdullah Alsaffar, for their suggestions and recommendations. My deepest and sincere gratitude goes to my wife for her invaluable support and patience especially during the Coronavirus pandemic, to my son Ayoub and my daughter Samar. 4 Abstract There is no doubt that culture represents a vital component in the foreign language curriculum. Over the past decades, foreign language textbooks, as a key element in the teaching and learning process, covered culture differently qualitatively and quantitatively and the Arabic textbooks are no exception. This study aims to evaluate the presence of Arab culture in three main Arabic textbooks widely used in western institutions. The researcher applied a content analysis methodology to extract and examine the cultural aspects incorporated into these textbooks. The findings show a strong emphasis on the geographical, religious, and literary aspects and less focus on the societal and economic aspects and those related to the Arabs’ daily lifestyle and leisure. The results could be used to decide which textbooks are more suitable for a specific curriculum and to help improve future educational material’s content.

    Classic Poetry Series Antarah (Antar) Ibn Shaddad - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 1 Antarah (Antar) Ibn Shaddad(525 - 615) 'Antarah Ibn Shaddad al-'Absi was a pre-Islamic Arabian hero and poet (525- 608) famous both for his poetry and his adventurous life. What many consider his best or chief poem is contained in the Mu'allaqat. The account of his life forms the basis of a long and extravagant romance. <b>Biography</b> Antarah was born in Najd (northern Saudi Arabia). He was the son of Shaddad, a well-respected member of the Arabian tribe of Banu Abs, his mother was named Zabibah, an Ethiopian woman, whom Shaddad had enslaved after a tribal war. The tribe neglected Antara at first, and he grew up in servitude. Although it was fairly obvious that Shaddad was his father. He was considered one of the "Arab crows" (Al-aghribah Al-'Arab) because of his jet black complexion. Antara gained attention and respect for himself by his remarkable personal qualities and courage in battle, excelling as an accomplished poet and a mighty warrior. He earned his freedom after one tribe invaded Banu Abs, so his father said to Him: "Antara fight with the warriors". Then he looked at his father in resentment and said: "The slave doesn't know how to invade or how to defend, but the slave is only good for milking goats and serving his masters". Then his father said: "Defend your tribe and you are free", then Antarah fought and expelled the invading tribes.

    Journal of Arabic Language & Literature, Vol. 9, No.1 ,Serial Number. 16 33 A Critical Analysis of the Impact of Iranian Culture on the Masculine Arabic Sonnet Dr. Malihe Moghbli1 PhD in Arabic Language and Literature, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran Received: 15 December 2016 Accepted: 25 September 2017 Extended Abstract 1- Introduction This article discusses the impact of Iranian culture and civilization on the Arab masculine sonnet. This article, besides explaining the little impact of Iranian culture on masculine sonnet, has shown the reflection of some of the concepts and themes of the masculine sonnet of Arabic on the Persian sonnet and, by bringing examples, it shows the influence of Persian speakers on the Arab masculine sonnet. The purpose of this research is to look at the development and implementation of the Abbasid era romance and to examine the impact of Iranians on the prevalence of this type of sonnet. Since many scholars consider the masculine sonnet to be originated from the culture and civilization of Iran, they believe that the transformation that took place in the Arabian sonnet is the result of a clash of Iranian culture, which has had a tremendous impact on the propagation of masculine sonnets, and this tendency to the beautiful beloved that exists the Arab writers has originated from Iran's civilization and culture, therefore, the present study seeks to examine negative attitudes towards Iranian culture in terms of content and critique, in order to determine the effect of Iranian culture. From this aspect, the impact of Iranian culture on this literary genre should be explained to provide an answer for rejecting the allegations brought against Iranian culture.

  • The History of Literature I
    The History Of Literature I September 23, 2020 Category: History Download as PDF The word “poet[ry]” is derived from the Greek “poieses”, which means the will to create / transform. When it comes to the Reactionary proprietors of institutionalized dogmatism, then, “poieses” is naturally seen as a dire threat. “Wisdom Literature” goes back to the 3rd millennium B.C. with both the Sumerians and Egyptians (see Stuart Weeks’ work on the topic). The authors of the Hebrew Bible openly recognize this fact in First Kings 5:10. In the 20th century B.C., the “Admonition Of [The Murdered] Pharaoh Amenemhat To His Son, Senusret” was composed in Egypt. When it comes to ancient epics, the record goes back to the Sumerian “Epic of Gilgamesh”, which dates back to the late 3rd millennium B.C. The Akkadian “Enuma Elish” dates back to the early 2nd millennium B.C. In the early 11th century B.C., the Egyptian “Story of Wenamun” (an epic composed in Hieratic) was composed. Poetry dates to c. 700 B.C., with the Greek epics of Homer and Hesiod. Homer’s “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” are still considered classics to the present day. And the legacy of lyric poetry goes back to Alkman of Sparta in the 7th century B.C. The oldest anthology of poetry is the “Shi-jing” [Book of Songs; a.k.a. “Classic of Poetry”] from the Zhou period in China. It was an ongoing compilation of material that started in the 11th century B.C. and continued on through the 7th century B.C.

    BAC FOLK ARTS PRESENTS BROOKLYN MAQAM ARAB MUSIC FESTIVAL Ahlan wa Sahlan! Welcome to Brooklyn Maqam Arab Music Festival featuring local musicians, bands, and dancers presenting Arab musical traditions from Egypt, Yemen, Israel, Tunisia, Palestine, Iraq, Morocco, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan. Maqam is the Arabic word referring to the patterns of musical notes, based on a quarter note system, that form the building blocks of traditional Arab music. Join BAC Folk Arts throughout March 2008 for Brooklyn Maqam concerts, symposia, and workshops featuring local musicians specializing in Arab folk traditions, classical forms, and contemporary arrangements. Entry to all events is FREE of charge and all events are open to the public. Sunday, March 30, 1:30 - 3pm Brooklyn Public Library, Stevan Dweck Center Answering the Call to Prayer Brooklyn Maqam Arab Music Festival presents a program featuring a range of Arab-influenced song traditions practiced in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Brooklyn. The Great Religions practiced in Brooklyn share Arabic language and cultural roots to a greater or lesser degree and these roots reflect the ancient and still vital relationship among Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Maimonides, the great interpreter of Judaism, wrote in Arabic; Damascus, the Christian leader, was given protection by a Sultan. Today, this ancient legacy is perpetuated in the music you will hear in our concluding program for Brooklyn Maqam, a festival which demonstrated the richness and diversity of local Arab music to hundreds of appreciative New Yorkers, a number of whom are in our audience today. Pizmonim Cantor Yehezkel Zion, introduced by Galeet Dardashti For Brooklyn Maqam, Cantor Zion is performing in the pizmonim song tradition, which comprises liturgical prayers in Hebrew set to popular Arab music that often leads the singer into inspired moments of improvisation.
