My research sought to better understand these issues and the lived experience and human condition of the Syrian Diaspora. In my research, I thought through this main question: How do Syrian newcomers come to make sense of what it means to have lost a home and a homeland as it relates to the Syrian Diasporic experience? I broached the Syrian diasporic subject by thinking through an anti-Orientalist, anti- colonial framework, and I engaged autoethnography as a research methodology and as a method as I reflexively thought through and wrote from my own personal experience as a Syrian immigrant so that I could better understand the Syrian refugee’s human experience. -
3 on Understanding Syrian Diasporic Identities Through a Selection Of
On Understanding Syrian Diasporic Identities through a Selection of Syrian Literary Works Ghada Alatrash Mount Royal University [email protected] Najat Abed Alsamad [email protected] Abstract As of late August 2018, a total of 58,600 Syrian refugees have arrived in Canada (Government of Canada, 2019). The Syrian Diaspora today is a complex topic that speaks to issues of dislocation, displacement, loss, exile, identity, a desire for belonging, and resilience. The aim of this paper is to offer a better understanding of the Syrian peoples who have become, within the past four years, part of our Canadian citizenry, local communities, and members of our schools and workforce. By engaging the voices of Syrians through their literary works, this essay seeks to challenge some of the ontological and epistemological underpinnings that have historically defined Syrians and to offer alternate ways in which we may better know and understand what it means to be Syrian today. Historically Syrians have written and spoken about exile in their literature, long before the the Syrian war began in March of 2011. To deliver a sense of Syrian identities, a selected number of pre-Syrian-war writers and poets are engaged in this essay, including Nizar Kabbani, Muhammad al-Maghut, Zakaria Tamer, Mamduh Adwan, Adonis and Nasib Arida; furthermore, to capture a glimpse of a post-war sentiment, the voice of Syrian novelist Najat Abdul Samad, whose work was written from within the national borders of a war- torn Syria, is brought into the discussion. Introduction “‘Syria has become the great tragedy of this century - a disgraceful humanitarian calamity with suffering and displacement unparalleled in recent history,’ said Antonio Guterres, head of the UN High Commission for Refugees” (Watt, Blair, & Sherlock, 2013). -

Turkish Historiography in Syria
Türkiye Araştırmaları Literatür Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2010, 731-741 Turkish Historiography in Syria Samir SEIKALY* TACKING the subject of Syria’s Turkish historiography is problematic, as Syria -understood as a separate territorial and political entity- is of relatively recent creation, a byproduct of the territorial division imposed on geographic Syria by the victorious imperialist powers of France and Great Britain following the end of World War I. It is also problematic due to the fact that the whole of geographic Syria, organized in accordance with Ottoman administrative practices into vilayets, for about a full four centuries had been an integral part of a Turkic entity - the historic Ottoman Empire. Given this state of affairs, it is both natural and to be expected that writings on that great imperial state should have appeared in both Damascus and Aleppo, penned by individuals who did not, however, perceive themselves as ‘Syrian’ or the Ottoman Empire as ‘Turkic,’ except perhaps in the closing decades of the 19th century and the opening years of the following century. Understood as the product of authors belonging to Syria in its manifestation as a recent territorial, sovereign and distinct political entity, Turkish historiography is both sporadic and selective, though increasing in volume. In contrast, writing about the Ottoman Empire, particularly the Syrian vilayets within the Ottoman Empire, was ongoing during the period in which those vilayets were ruled from Istanbul. But whether written during the earlier or later period, the volume of what was produced was either elicited by or in reaction to moments of real or presumed rup- ture. -
The Hundred and One Nights: a Recently Acquired Old Manuscript
206 Ulrich Marzolph The Hundred and One Nights: A Recently Acquired Old Manuscript The Book of the Stories of the Hundred and One Nights, in Arabic (Hadith) Mi'at lay/a wa-layla, is a sibling to the Book of the Stories of the Thousand and One Nights, commonly referred to as A/f lay/a wa-layla. The Thousand and One Nights, better known in English as the Arabian Nights, were "discovered" and subsequently translated by the French scholar Antoine Galland at the beginning of the eighteenth century.1 Since then, they have become part of world literature. In fact, the monumental impact of the Thousand and One Nights on world culture can hardly be overestimated. First, the work has decisively shaped French literature of the eighteenth century and onwards, in particular the French genre of conte de fees and novels "in the Oriental mode"; second, it has contributed to the Western perception of "the Orient" and related concepts, in particular the notion of "Oriental ism" as a preconceived and biased notion of the Muslim world; and third, while originating from the "simple" effort of translation, Gal land's Mif le et une Nu its has introduced to world literature a collection of tales that in terms of its international repercussion in imagination and creativity is second only to the Bible (which, notably, is also a work of Near Eastern origin). Besides inspiring innumerable translations into dozens of world languages as well as literary adaptations and imitations, the Thousand and One Nights have left their imprint in painting, theatre, opera, ballet, film, and many other areas. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 DECLARATION I Confirm that the work presented in the thesis is mine alone. Khaldoun Al-Shamaa 3 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to provide the interested reader with a critical account of far-reaching changes in modem Arabic literary theory, approximately since the 1970s, in the light of an ascending paradigm in motion , and of the tendency by subsequent critics and commentators to view litefary criticism in terms of self-a elaborating category morphing into cultural critique. The first part focuses on interdisciplinary problems confronting Arab critics in their attempt “to modernize but not to westernize”, and also provides a comparative treatment of the terms, concepts and definitions used in the context of an ever-growing Arabic literary canon, along with consideration of how these relate to European modernist thought and of the controversies surrounding them among Arab critics. -
The Erotics of Sameness in the 1001 Nights*
Qamarayn: The Erotics of Sameness in the 1001 Nights* ZAYDE ANTRIM Professor of History and International Studies, Trinity College ([email protected]) Abstract This two-part article argues that the earliest Arabic manuscripts of the 1001 Nights celebrate sameness, especially physical sameness, in sexual relationships to the extent that a category of erotic embodiment emerges that cannot be understood through a binary construction of sex. The first part of the article proposes a reading of a fifteenth-century manuscript that takes its descriptions of beautiful bodies on their own terms. Eroticized characters recur as both lover and beloved in a series of parallel sexual encounters that situate them in emphatic mutual relation and accumulate weight as the text unfolds. The resulting erotics of sameness decenters the perspective of adult men and displaces or undermines, at least temporarily, the lines of gender otherwise drawn in the stories. By contrast, when difference is stressed via explicitly sexed or racialized bodies, it is used to deem a relationship ridiculous or threatening. The second part of the article presents a diachronic analysis of one story, “The Story of Qamar al-Zaman and Budur,” to show how modern editors, translators, and scholars have read binary sex into the text in order to make sense of its erotics. Manuscripts of the Nights dating from the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries differ considerably from the earliest Arabic print editions in their presentation of the story. This case study reveals what translators and scholars miss when they work from these print editions and/or from modern constructions of gender, sexuality, and embodiment.
