Kingma Title: DEMOCRATIC TRANSITIONS IN DIVIDED STATES: THE CASE OF IRAQ Advisor: Nader Hashemi Degree Date: June 2012 Abstract Many theorists have posited that democratic transitions in states divided along ethnic, racial, or religious lines are accompanied by violent conflict and thus unlikely to succeed. The end of authoritarian rule in Iraq and the introduction of democracy by the United States has been followed by many such challenges, and it has been argued that the artificial Iraqi state and its Kurdish, Sunni, and Shia communities does not possess the unity as required by democratic government.

  • Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community
    Arab American Literature and the Ethnic American Landscape: Language, Identity, and Community A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Niven Herro, B.A., M.A. July 2018 Committee Chair: Jennifer Glaser, Ph.D. Committee Members: Lisa Hogeland, Ph.D., Laura Micciche, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation explores the works of contemporary Arab American women writers with a focus on language, identity, and community. I am especially interested in the ways in which the Arab American immigrant experience mirrors that of other ethnic American groups, as demonstrated in their literatures. First, I argue that Randa Jarrar’s debut novel, A Map of Home (2008), which uses language—both Arabic and English—as a source of empowerment, reflects Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of the “new mestiza consciousness.” Comparing the Chinatown community in Fae Myenne Ng’s Bone (1993), to the Muslim community in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006), reveals the complicated relationships the novels’ characters have with their communities. In both novels, the personal development of their young women protagonists is greatly influenced by their respective communities, which simultaneously serve as positive sites of support and complex sites of difficult negotiations. While the characters in A Map of Home and The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf ultimately learn to effectively navigate their hybrid subject positions as both Arabs and Americans, the failure to do so leads to a tragic end for the couple at the center of Laila Halaby’s Once in a Promised Land.

Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi Prose came before poetry. In the beginning, there was prose.

HISHAM MATAR / [email protected] Overview Whether seen as a chronicle of social life, a hothouse of ideas and philosophical contemplation, a space for literary invention and the articulation of the quiet as well as the loud moments of existence, the novel is, in its various shapes and forms, a modern phenomenon. Perhaps this is partly why for long time there persisted, both in the minds of some Western and Arabic readers, the notion that the genre is a European invention, and therefore, the Arabic novel in particular, an act of literary mimicry. This is not only erroneous, but it also misses what is actually fascinating about the story of the novel in Arabic. It is a story that tells of a deep engagement with a great literary tradition as well as a commitment to invention.

  • Le Prix De La Littérature Arabe 2019
    Communiqué de presse Paris, le 7 novembre 2019 Le Prix de la littérature arabe 2019 (doté de 10 000 €), créé par l’Institut du monde arabe et la Fondation Jean-Luc Lagardère, est décerné à l’écrivain égyptien Mohammed Abdelnabi pour son roman La Chambre de l’araignée (Actes Sud / Sindbad) traduit de l’arabe (Égypte) par Gilles Gauthier Le jury, présidé par Pierre Leroy, cogérant de Lagardère SCA, et composé de personnalités du monde des médias, des arts et de la culture ainsi que de spécialistes du monde arabe, a élu, à l’unanimité, le texte de Mohammed Abdelnabi, saluant « un écrivain audacieux au style affirmé et percutant qui fait plonger le lecteur au cœur des tabous de la société égyptienne et arabe. Un roman qui se veut une ode à la tolérance et à l’humanisme. » A l’occasion de la cérémonie de remise du prix, le 6 novembre 2019 à l’IMA, Jack Lang, Président de l’Institut, a rappelé le caractère unique du Prix et son rôle essentiel en tant que « caisse de résonnance pour les écrivains qui témoignent de l’extraordinaire vitalité de la littérature contemporaine arabe ». Pour Pierre Leroy, Président du Jury du Prix : « Transformant un événement précis en un vibrant plaidoyer pour la tolérance, Mohammed Abdelnabi accomplit ce qui peut être l’une des raisons de la littérature : porter un message politique dans l’espoir de faire évoluer la société ». Les membres du jury ont souligné la remarquable qualité des livres également retenus dans la dernière sélection de cette édition 2019 : Les petits de Décembre, de Kaouther Adimi (Éditions du Seuil) ; Ougarit, de Camille Ammoun (éditions incultes) ; Le Ciel sous nos pas, de Leïla Bahsaïn (Albin Michel) ; Égypte 51, de Yasmine Khlat (Elyzad) ; Port-au-Prince Aller-Retour, de Georgia Makhlouf (La Cheminante) ; Ceux qui ont peur (traduit de l’arabe par François Zabbal), de Dima Wannous (Gallimard).
