THE CASE of AL-TAYYIB SALIH How to Define the Characters SHAPING THE CAST OF CHARACTERS: THE CASE OF AL-TAYYIB SALIH How to define the characters There are not many cases in which one writer-as opposed to a group- places a distinct stamp on the literature of his or her people and brings it to the attention of readers outside the country. This is true for Gabriel . Garcia Marquez (1928-), whose Colombian writing came to the attention not just of readers in Latin American, but throughout the world, primarily through his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude [Cien Anos de Soledad (1967)]. Al-Tayyib Salih (1929-) has had a similar effect. This author has not only brought Sudanese literature, considered marginal in the Arab world, to the awareness of readers in and critics of the Arab world, but he has opened the doors of Sudanese literature to audiences throughout the world by way of translations primarily into English, but also into French, German, Italian, Russian, and Hebrew. Clearly al-Tayyib Salih did not oper- I ate in a void, as he was influenced by both Arab and Western writers.' An earlier version of this article appeared in Arabic: "Tatawwur al-Shakhsiyya fi A`mal al-Tayyib Salih." al-Karmil, Haifa, 10 (1989), pp. 7-26. I am grateful to Professor Ahmad Muhammad el-Badawi who reviewed the material and provided useful suggestions. Unless noted otherwise, all excerpts given in English of the work of al-Tayyib Salih are taken from the translations of Denys Johnson-Davies, hence the transliteration in these excerpts may differ in some respects from the transliteration used elsewhere in the text. ' . Articles and books have appeared in Arabic and English about the writing of al-Tayyib Salih, in particular about his novel Mawsim al-Hijra ild al-Shamdl, most of these since the late 1960s.

Briefly, we can mention Abu Bakr Khalid (1934-1976), 'Ali al-Makk (1937-), al-Tayyib Zarruq (1935-), Ibrahim Ishaq Ibrahim (1946-), and Mukhtdr Ibrahim 'ariba ( 1946-).z Nevertheless, the literary activity of the Sudanese writers, including al-Tayyib Salih, did not change the marginality of Suda- nese literature among modem Arabic literatures, especially compared to lead- ing Arabic literatures such as Egyptian, Lebanese, and Moroccan. al-Muca$ira,Cairo, al-Hay'a al-Misriyya al-'Amma li'l-Kitâb, 1982, pp. 300-309; Yusuf Nur 'Awad, al-Tayyib Salih fi Manxlir al-Naqd al-Bunyawi, Jedda, Maktabat al-'Alam, 1983, pp. 162-181; 'Abd al-Rahman al-Khanji, Qiru'a Jadida fi Riwayat al-Tayyib Salih, Umm Durmân, Dar Jämi'at Umm Durman al-lsldmiyya, 1983; Simi Suwaydan, Abhath fi al-Nass al-Riwä'ï al-'Arabi, Beirut, Mu'assasat al-Abl)äth al-'Arabiyya, 1986, pp. 121-176; Rajä' Ni'ma, $iraC al-Maqhur ma`a al-Sulta, Dirdsa fi al-Tahlil al-Nafsi li-Riwdyatal-Tayyib SCzlihMawsim al- Hijra ila al-Shamal, Beirut, 1986; 'Ami El'ad, "al-Tayyib Salih wa'1-Adab al-Sudani al- Hadith," Liqd', 6 (Spring 1987), pp. 22-24; 'Isdm Bahii, al-Rihla ila al-Gharb fi al-Riwdya al-'Arabiyya al-Haditha, Cairo, al-Hay'a al-Misriyya al-'Amma li'l-Kitâb, 1991, pp. 55-93; and MuhammadShahin, Tahawwulat al-Shawq fiMawsim al-Hijra ild al-Shamdl,Dirasa Naqdiyya Mugdrana, Beirut, al-Mu'assasa al-'Arabiyya li'l-Dirdsdt wa'l-Nashr, 1993.

    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 13, Issue 5, 2020 Modernization and Resistance: Healing the Social Ills in Leila Aboulela’s Lyrics Alley aAli Abdullah Saaed Alfuady, bLecturer Ahmed Sa'ad Aziz (Ph.D.), cLecturer Suhaib Majeed Kadhem, a,b,cDepartment of English/College of Arts/ University of Al-Qadisiyah /Iraq, Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Following the postcolonial Sudanese writer, Tayeb Salih’s perspective in his famous novel, Season of Migration to the North (1969), Leila Aboulela exposes the binary identity that her characters gain it through migration and transportation. This paper examines the traditional resistance to modernity in Aboulela’s Lyrics Alley (2011). It investigates how Sudanese parochial norms resist the Western modernity and how to rejuvenate and modernize such tradition. As she attempts to create a real image of the Sudanese postcolonial situation, Aboulela shows out the deep- rooted norms of Sudan that set up a barrier between Sudanese tradition and Western modernity. Sudanese think of education as a shame for women and a waste of time for men. Education is considered “as being a great evil that come to them with the armies of occupation” (Tayeb Salih 1969: 19). The novel points out the feminist voice which strives to get her moral choice, her privacy and her personal freedom. It brings out the importance of education to narrow the gap between Sudan and the West that may help Sudanese cope with modern world. The paper critically questions women’s position in the conservative Sudanese family and the fragmented identity that fails to stand in front of the patriarchal hegemony.

  • Re-Reading Najib Mahfuz's Children of Our Quarter* AFIS AYINDE OLADOSU University of Ibadan, Nigeria
    Nordic Journal of African Studies 17(4): 269–287 (2008) The Public, The Private and The Sphere in- between: Re-Reading Najib Mahfuz's Children of Our Quarter* AFIS AYINDE OLADOSU University of Ibadan, Nigeria “Sovereigns are rulers over people, but it is the learned who rule over the sovereign” -Abul ’Aswad ABSTRACT This paper is hinged on the following proposition: that in no other region in Africa are the arguments about the role of the artist in the “public” sphere more intense as is the case in North Africa; that the problematic of what constitutes the “public” sphere in North Africa is circumscribed by the struggle for and the contest over “power”, “status” and “authority”; that the attempt by North African writers particularly Najib Mahfuz (d. 2006) to mirror the socio- political and cultural fissures and contradictions in the public sphere usually lead to conflict not only over what constitutes the “public sphere” and who governs it, but equally on how the “private” and the sphere “in-between”-in its quintessential slippery and highly charged textures- could be reclaimed for the “public good”. In grappling with the foregoing the paper rereads Najib Mahfuz’s Awlād Hāratinā (Children of our Quarter 1959). In reading for “meaning” and the “meaning of meaning” in the novel the paper pays attention to the socio- political and cultural “codes” provided by Najib Mahfuz even as it searches for possible theoretical insights that the works of Arab-African and Euro-American writers including Ibn Qayyim, Abdul Qāhir al-Jurjānī, Edward Said, Michel Foucault and Benhabib could yield in an excursus which probes into how the trialetic of “power”, “status” and “authority” continues to shape the “public” the “private” and the sphere “in-between” of the Egyptian society.

  • An Exploration of the Rhetorical Devices in Leila Aboulela's Novel
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 5, No. 1; February 2015 An Exploration of the Rhetorical Devices in Leila Aboulela’s Novel “The Translator” Ms Enaam Hashim Albashir Teachers’ College Nile Valley University Sudan Dr. Ibrahim Mohamed Alfaki ELI, King Abdul-Aziz University Nile Valley University, Atbara, Sudan Jeddah, King Saudi Arabia Abstract This article attempts to explore Aboulela's literary style of writing through her novel The Translator. Leila Aboulela is an Egyptian-born Sudanese and British educated writer .The Translator is her first novel, published in 1999. The Translator is a story about a young Sudanese widow living in Scotland and her sprouting relationship with Islamic scholar Rae Isles. The research method adopted is a blend of narrative, rhetoric, and stylistic analyses. All these analytic techniques are from within the constructivism interpretive research paradigm. The analyses focus on the rhetorical devices which are used in the novel: The Translator. These devices are identified and discussed with examples from the novel. The findings indicate that: Aboulela’s style reflects rich vocabulary and an increasing flexibility of prose. Although the form of her writing is organized according to the formal patterns of prose , it has sense of rhythm , repetition and balance. These are not governed by a regularly sustained formal arrangement and the significant unit is the sentence. Keywords: Leila Aboulela, The Translator, rhetorical devices 1. Introduction 1.1 Aim This research study aims at exploring certain aspects of Aboulela's style, to identify the rhetorical devices that are used in some of her literary works and to discuss them with examples from her novel The Translator.

  • Arabic Poetry: Trajectories of Modernity and Tradition
    ARABIC POETRY Since the late 1940s, Arabic poetry has spoken for an Arab conscience, as much as it has debated positions and ideologies, nationally and worldwide. This book tackles issues of modernity and tradition in Arabic poetry as manifested in poetic texts and criticism by poets as participants in transformation and change. Arabic Poetry studies the poetic in its complexity as pertaining to issues of: ● Selfhood ● Individuality ● Community ● Religion ● Ideology ● Nation ● Class and ● Gender This book also studies in context, issues that have been cursorily noticed or neglected, like Shi’i poetics, Sufism, women’s poetry, and expressions of exilic consciousness. It employs current literary theory and provides comprehensive coverage of modern and postmodern poetry from the 1950s onwards. Arabic Poetry is essential reading for those with interests in Arabic culture and literature and Middle East studies. Muhsin J. al-Musawi is Professor of Middle East and Asian Studies at Columbia University and University Professor at the American University of Sharjah. He has published 24 books in English and Arabic, including Scheherazade in England and The Postcolonial Arabic Novel. He is the editor of Journal of Arabic Literature.

  • Arevenge Endeavor (And) Unconscious Desire: Psychoanalytic Study on Mustafa Saeed in Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North
    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.3, No.4, pp.95-102, September 2015 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) AREVENGE ENDEAVOR (AND) UNCONSCIOUS DESIRE: PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDY ON MUSTAFA SAEED IN TAYEB SALIH'S SEASON OF MIGRATION TO THE NORTH.
