A New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics Issue 7 March 2009
ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 7 March 2009 Mahmoud Darwish 1941–2008 Ian Wedde The Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish died on Saturday 9 August 2008 of complications following heart surgery in Houston, Texas. News of his death quickly appeared on the front pages of all major newspapers in the Middle East. BBC World broadcast a substantial television news item and obituary on the weekend of his death, as did other major European television networks. Extensive international television coverage was provided by Al Jazeera on its many different language channels, as well as on social network sites such as YouTube. Le Monde carried a substantial obituary and eulogy by Pierre Assouline on the day of Darwish’s death, on its ‘la république des livres’ blog. A lengthy obituary was quickly published in The New York Times (Monday 11 August), whose pages had often carried reports on the poet’s activities and publications since 1978. The Guardian (Monday 11 August) published a detailed tribute by Peter Clark, the distinguished Arabist and editor; others to print substantial and timely accounts included Haaretz in Israel, and in the U.S.A. the Los Angeles Times and The Boston Globe among others (all on 10 August); The Australian, The Independent, and the Seattle Times published tributes on 11 August, as did The Times (14 August), and the Economist (21 August). The internet was flooded with emotional tributes, of which the South African activist Breyten Breytenbach’s in Pambazuka News was typical (‘Mahmoud is gone. The exile is over.’) . -

Reading the Story of Majnun Layla Through Qassim Haddad's Poem
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 6, Ver. 8 (June. 2017) PP 57-67 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Reading the Story of Majnun Layla through Qassim Haddad’s Poem Dzia Fauziah, Maman Lesmana Arabic Studies Program, Faculty of Humanities Universitas Indonesia Abstract: Majnun Layla is a popular classic story in the Middle East. It is said that this story inspired Shakespeare to write the story of Romeo and Juliet in Europe. The story spread to several cultures in the world and was rewritten in poetry, romance, drama and film genres. This paper aims to examine the story from the genre of modern poetry written by Qassim Haddad, a Bahrain poet. This research uses library data, both print and electronic, as research corpus and reference. The method used in this paper is the qualitative method, which prioritises words rather than numbers and emphasises quality over quantity. The data is presented in the form of analytical descriptive, starting from the description of its structure, until the analysis of its contents. In the analysis, semiotic structuralism is also used, which emphasises the text and its intrinsic elements. From the results of this study, it is found that there are not many images of the MajnunLayla’s love story revealed in the poem because of it is a monologue form and not a narrative, and there are many phrases that are less understandable because the poem is rich in figurative words and unclear connotations. This paper recommends the story to be inspired well, it should be written in the form of a diaphanous and easily digestible poem, rather than prismatic andcomplicated.It is expected to be written in the form of a free and prosaic poem, with simple typography and does not necessarily use too many enjambments. -

2010 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
EXPLORINGTHEHUMANENDEAVOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FORTHEHUMANITIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER June, 2011 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2010 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, once stated, “The goal should be that everybody gets a chance to read great books and participate in the richness that the humanities bring us.” He was not talking specifically about the mission of NEH when he said this, but he could have been. For over forty-five years, NEH has striven to bring superior humanities re- search and programming to all reaches of America. We do this through a rigorous grant review process that fosters excellence and rewards innovative scholarship. NEH fellowships and collaborative grants stimulate research in all areas of the humanities, from history and literature to philosophy and jurisprudence. This year saw the result of many years of painstaking, NEH-supported editorial work related to the writings of David Livingstone and Charles Darwin. The biggest blockbuster was the publication of the authoritative Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, which became a bestseller and has so far gone into five printings. We also support work in the faster-paced field of digital humanities. Through Digging into Data grants, scholars are able to gather and analyze works in ways that have never been explored before. The program helps to bridge an understanding gap between scientists, technicians, and humanists. Cross-disciplined research allows for a deeper understanding of the past and the world around us today. From grade schools to universities, humanities are an integral ingredient in democratic education, providing students the tools of citizenship. -

Le Poème Arabe Moderne
Le poème arabe moderne Anthologie établie et présentée par Abdul Kader El Janabi 1 Sans remords, le poème moderne Ma gorge est pleine de coupures de papier De strates de glace Et toi, eau séculaire, Eau vive, comme je t’aime. Mohammed al-Maghout Tardivement délestée de l’idéal arabique, la poésie arabe est devenue poème. Issu d’une rupture conceptuelle imposée par la radicale mutation du monde urbain, le poème moderne invente une langue approximative en s’émancipant des formes de rhétorique dominantes. La poésie occidentale lui révéla la fécondité de ces mots impurs ou vulgaires que la prosodie classique avait bannis - des mots fauteurs de troubles comme n’en posséda jamais l’éloquence. Reprenant le langage à son point de départ, le poème moderne déchire le voile d’une grammaire puritaine. Il brouille les traces du sacré et dépose ses empreintes profanes. Les poètes qui, aujourd’hui, redécouvrent tout simplement « le langage qui sert, depuis des dizaines de siècles, à réparer les dégâts causés par le Verbe »1, sont des dieux à la recherche d’eux-mêmes. Leur auréole est déjà dans la fange du macadam. Le legs du passé Dans son Discours sur l’Histoire universelle, Ibn Khaldun se faisait l’écho d’une tradition arabe sur la manière d’apprendre la poésie, discipline élémentaire longtemps adoptée unanimement par les poètes arabes. « D’abord, dit-il, il faut avoir étudié à fond ce qu’est le genre poétique chez les Arabes. C’est de là que naîtra dans l’âme une habitude qui sera comme le métier sur lequel le poète mettra son ouvrage. -
QASSIM HADDAD Corretto
© 2003 Edizioni San Marco dei Giustiniani, Genova Quaderni di poesia Collana diretta da Giorgio Devoto REGIONE LIGURIA “Il mare che unisce” I poeti della Riva Sud del Mediterraneo VOLUME XII ???????? GENOVA CAPITALE EUROPEA DELLA CULTURA NEL 2004 Qassim Haddad RIMEDIO PER LA DISTANZA a cura di Fawzi Al Delmi Edizioni San Marco dei Giustiniani Genova La ricomposizione del senso di Fawzi Al Delmi Qassim Haddad è tra i poeti più presenti e stimati nel panorama della poesia araba contemporanea. Viene dal Bahrein, isola del Golfo Arabo la cui civiltà e ricchezza umana e culturale hanno segnato fin dal- l’antichità la storia del mondo arabo. In questo paese furono trovate le prime iscrizioni in caratteri nabatei (la scrittura più vicina all’alfabeto arabo classico) e lì ebbe inizio l’antica civiltà di Dilmun (2600 a.C.) cita- ta nei testi sumeri della Mesopotamia e nell’epopea di Gilgamesh. L’apprezzamento che circonda Haddad è dovuto a una ricca e vasta produzione poetica iniziata nel 1970 con Al-bishara (L’annunzio) e giunta fino al 2000 con la raccolta Ilaj al-masafa (Rimedio per la distanza) – che dà anche il titolo a questo libro che proponiamo al let- tore italiano – coronata dal prestigioso premio Owayyes, recentemente conferitogli. Con questo volume della collana “Il mare che unisce” si vuole con- tinuare a proporre voci attuali e innovative della poesia araba contem- poranea, poeti che a partire dalla metà del XX secolo hanno dato una nuova e diversa interpretazione del reale, abbandonando i vecchi sche- mi e offrendo alternative formali ed artistiche. Questo cambiamento ha coinvolto non soltanto la poesia, ma anche la prosa, il mondo dell’arte plastica, la musica ed il teatro, insomma, i vari aspetti della cultura ara- ba, favorito in questo da più intensi contatti e interazioni con la cultu- 7 ra occidentale e dalla necessità di una profonda rivisitazione del patri- monio culturale, per secoli rimasto immobile. -
Reconciliation Art Project Ulafa'a
Ulafa’a Reconciliation Art Project About Ulafaa Ulafa’a is an Arabic term (plural) that describes a group of people who are familiar with each other and possibly share common feelings Ulafa’a is an art project that aims to create op- portunities for people to express themselves and to strengthen relationships of respect and understanding among the different communities of Bahrain. The project is based on the belief that people can express themselves through a vari- ety of artistic forms, and that these expressions can facilitate communication and the sharing of stories. Ulafa’a provides opportunities for young creative minds to explore the boundaries of identity and to examine the nature of cultural conflicts – all in an environment that is creative, challenging and supportive. Project Outcomes Ulafa’a will host a series of events during which the artists participating in the project can interact with the audience. Our aim is not for artists to create art while they remain isolated in closed studio. Ulafa’a rather creates opportunities for artists to communicate with people directly and develop relationships, so that these artists can create works that speak to the community and even represent them in new images. The events will vary from screening, artists’ discussions, live performance, all the way to urban art. The artists will interpret their key reflections of the events through a group exhibition. A group of ten artists will be selected to attend an intensive one-week training at the Program in Peacebuilding and the Arts at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, USA. The training will be conducted by Cynthia Cohen, director of the program, and the artists will present their work during the training. -
