    Studia Islamica 106 (2011) 124-143 brill.com/si “Under Eastern Eyes”: East on West in the Arabic Press of the Nahḍa Period1 Fruma Zachs Haifa University, Israel How many branches of the tree of tamaddun/civilization do we see, that die when their trunk/source is unable to nourish them. There is no real future for Syria or for its civilization unless it is interwoven with the threads of tamaddun and can integrate aspects of European cul- ture, sowing them in the ground, and watering them with the sweat of its toilers.2 (Yaʿqūb Ṣarrūf, 1884) Introduction: From Orientalism to Occidentalism Edward Said’s Orientalism3 (1978) introduced the important historical debate about the crystallization of Western identity/culture versus the Other-the East. One of his main arguments was that ‘in order to know who I am, I must know what I am not’. This concept created an imbalance in which the West predominates in the interaction between the two cultures. 1 * Earlier version of this study was presented at the workshop in the Mediterra- nean Programme: 9th Mediterranean Research Meeting, Florence and Montecatini Term, 2008.

  • The Dialectics of Decolonization: Nationalism and Labor Movements in Postwar . Africa"
    "The Dialectics of Decolonization: Nationalism and Labor Movements in Postwar . Africa" Fred Cooper CSST Working CRSO .\~orki!lg Paper 884 Paper $480 May 1992 The Dialectics of Decolonization: Nationalism and Labor Movements in Post-War Africa Frederick Cooper University of Michigan January, 1992 Draft Please do not cite or quote without permission of the author The Dialectics of Decolonization: Nationalism and Labor Movements in Post-War Africa Frederick Cooper University of Michigan The triumph of independence movements over colonial rule in Asia and Africa is another one of those metanarratives that needs to be rethought.1 But questioning the metanarrative does not mean that there are an infinite number of narratives of independence jumping around. In the world as it exists today, there are only so many ways to imagine what a state might look like, and that number appears smaller in 1992 than it did in the heady days thirty years go when British and French flags were coming down in one colony after another. Indeed, the narrowing began earlier: as the very question of taking over the state became a realistic possibility, nationalist leaders often began to channel the variety of struggles against colonial authority on which they had drawn--embracing peasants, workers, and intellectuals--into a focus on the apparatus of the state itself and into an ideological framework with a singular focus on the "nation." In the process, many of the possible readings of what an anticolonial movement might be were lost. This paper, focusing on Africa from the end of World War I1 to the early 1960s.

  • Occidentalism As a Strategy for Self-Exclusion and Recognition In
    Occidentalism as a Strategy for Self-exclusion and Recognition in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf Mohja Kahf’ın The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf adlı Eserinde Kendini-dışlama ve Tanınma Stratejisi Olarak Oksidentalizm Ishak Berrebbah Coventry University, UK Abstract Arab American women’s literature has emerged noticeably in the early years of the 21st century. The social and political atmosphere of post 9/11 America encouraged the growth of such literature and brought it to international attention. This diasporic literature is imbued with the discourse of Occidentalism; this not only creates a set of counter-stereotypes and representations to challenge Orientalism and write back to Orientalists, but it also works as a strategy for self-exclusion—by which Arab Americans exclude themselves from wider US society—and paves the way to self- realization. Taking Mohja Kahf’s novel The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006) as a sample of Arab American literature, this paper examines the extent to which Arab American characters including Téta, Wajdy, and Khadra represent and identify white Americans from an Occidentalist point of view to exclude themselves from wider American society, and promote their self-realization and recognition. The arguments and analysis in this paper are outlined within a social identity theoretical framework. Keywords: Diaspora , exclusion , recognition, representation, stereotypes. Öz 21. yüzyılın ilk yıllarında Arap Amerikalı kadın yazını büyük önem kazanmaya başlamıştır. 11 Eylül sonrası Amerika’daki toplumsal ve siyasi atmosfer bu edebiyatın büyümesini beraberinde getirmiş, uluslararası bir önem kazanmasının yolunu açmıştır. Bu diaspora edebiyatı Oksidentalist bir söylemle doludur; bu durum sadece Oryantalizme meydan okuyan ve Oryantalistlere cevap veren bir dizi karşıt- stereotipi ve temsili oluşturmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda Arap Amerikalıların kendilerini Amerikan toplumunun genelinin dışında tuttukları bir kendini-dışlama stratejisi olarak da işlev görür; böylelikle kendini gerçekleştirmenin de yolu açılmış olur.

As a result of these entangled histories, Latin American science does not fit easily into the standard periodization of Western histories of science, nor into traditional Latin American historical periodization. This inability to effectively categorize and constrain the heterogeneous histories of Latin American science has meant that these fascinating narratives have been widely ignored by historians in the West.

  • Decolonial Performance Collaborations with Undocumented Communities
    Performing Precarity: Decolonial Performance Collaborations With Undocumented Communities Christopher Goodson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Scott Magelssen, Chair José Antonio Lucero Stefka Mihaylova Julie Shayne Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Drama ii © Copyright 2017 Christopher Goodson iii University of Washington Abstract Performing Precarity: Decolonial Performance Collaborations with Undocumented Communities Christopher Goodson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Scott Magelssen School of Drama This dissertation draws upon my field work relating to contemporary performance practices in the United States that collaborate with undocumented Latina/o immigrants. Drawing on the latest scholarship regarding undocumentedness, I argue that this population, due to the economic and social realities it faces, constitutes an internal colony of the US. In this regard, I frame the various processes related to these performances as “decolonial epistemologies,” à la scholars of decolonial thought such as Walter Mignolo, Madina Tlostanova, and others. Drawing upon first- person interviews with participants and spectators, as well as my own presence at several live performances, I argue that these artistic efforts (which manifest in the diverse media of theater, experimental video, and public ceremony) are designed not only to counter the mainstream discourse that regularly criminalizes and dehumanizes undocumented immigrants, but also to provide meaningful, inter-subjective learning experiences for those involved. Closely examining the social and economic contexts (as well as the aesthetics) of these unrecognized practices, this study offers a unique lens which shows how performance both garners a greater visibility for undocumented immigrants, and also effects positive change to their state of precarity in the US.

  • DUVALL: Islamist Occidentalism
    Duvall, Nadia TITLE INFORMATION TITLE INFORMATION Nadia Duvall ISLAMIST OCCIDENTALISM: SAYYID QUTB AND THE WESTERN OTHER Publication Date: 2019/02 HC c. 240 pages HC ISBN 9783959940627 HC price 75.00 EUR 70.00 GBP All prices are net prices (without VAT) exclusive of postage & handling. Bibliographic record available from http://d-nb.info/1169676944 Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) was the most important radical Islamist ideologue in modern times. This groundbreaking new study analyses Qutb’s thinking from his early years in Cairo to the radical Islamist stance he adopted towards the end of his life. Occidentalism and Orientalism are mere ‘’duelling essentialisms’’ and shows that Qutb’s views of the Christian European ‘’Other’’ are much more nuanced. Of particularly importance are Qutb’s views on the West in the light of the escalation in violent attacks by militant Islamists targeting Western values. The book covers, amongst others, the following topics: - The discovery & perceptions of the West in the Modern Age - Qutb’s early encounter with modern Western civilisation - The West-East duality, and Qutb’s early views on Islam in relation to Christianity and Judaism - Qutb’s Islamism as a drastic discontinuity of Islamic cumulative tradition „Essentialist views are not the preserve of Orientalists in the Saidian sense. They are the bottom line of all brands of contempt for or hatred of the Other, when the latter is a collective identity, one side’s essentialist rejection prompting the other side’s counter-rejection. There is no better illustration of this than Qutb, the firebrand martyr of Jihadism, whose complex attitude towards the Western Other is closely examined in this fascinating book.“ (Professor Gilbert Achcar, SOAS, University of London) Key Subjects About the Authors/Editors Politics, Islamic Studies, International Nadia Duvall holds a M.A.

Doctoral Program in History/Master’s Program in Middle Eastern Studies Room: Course Number: HIST 78110/MES 74500 Tuesday: 6:30 – 8:30 PM. Course Instructor: Simon Davis, [email protected] Office Phone: (718) 289 5677. Palestine Under The British Mandate: Origins, Evolutions and Implications, 1906-1949. This course examines how and with what consequences British interests at the time of the First World War identified and pursued control over Palestine, the subsequent forms such projections took, the crises which followed and their eventual consequences. Particular themes will be explored through analytical discussions of assigned historiographic materials, chiefly recent journal literature. Learning Objectives: Students will be encouraged to evaluate still-contested historical phenomena such as British undertakings with Zionism, colonialist relationships with Arab Palestine, institution-making and economic development, social and cultural transformations, resistance and political violence. This will be understood in the broader context of Middle Eastern politics in the era of late European colonial imperialism. Consonant and particular local experience in Palestine will also be addressed, exploring the effect of British Mandatory administration, especially in ethnic and sectarian-inflected questions of status, social and material conditions, identity, community, law and justice, expression and political rights. Finally, how and why did the Mandate end in a British debacle, Zionist triumph and Arab Palestinian catastrophe, with what main legacies resulting? On the basis of these studies students will each complete a research essay from the list below, along with a number of smaller critical exercises, and a final examination.

  • An Overview Onto the Decolonisation of Political Science in the 21St
    An Overview onto the Decolonisation of Political Science in the 21st Century Silethemba Medelline Guta 2nd Year PhD Student, Marie Curie Sklodowska University, Lublin, Poland. Abstract The paper reviews the ongoing discussion and debate on decolonizing political science and to establish how political science can be decolonized. The hegemony within the practice is argued to produce a society rigged with inequalities at different levels. It is highlighted that the impact of historical writers of political thought and theory on present day society cannot be underestimated. Education informs thought and behavior thus, the curricula is of significance in the decolonial debate so that many voices are heard and that ethnic diversity is embraced in the production of knowledge. Decolonising political science is not a once off project that can be done in a hurry but it is of significant importance for the epistemologies and ontologies that inform political science to be examined carefully. Decoloniality is the equalizer in the social justice theories however it is not openly discussed and very well understood. The paper also highlights the writers and scholars against the decolonial project and how their voices are important in the development of the political science decolonial agenda. Decolonising political science will give the balance and equilibrium needed to embrace other voices that have not been heard in the construction of political thought and practice in contemporary times. Keywords: Curricula; Decoloniality; Political Thought; Social Justice Introduction This paper argues that spreading information, particularly in the history of political science and philosophy, requires a decolonized methodology in order to confront disparities in the world and in curricula.

  • Decoloniality: Theory and Methodology
    IAPT – 2/2021 typoscript [FP] – 09.06.2021 – Seite 13 – 2. Satzlauf Decoloniality: Theory and Methodology Cláudio Carvalhaes The author describes the work of decoloniality within Christianity and proposes a methodology for this process, drawing on anthropophagy, perspectivism, carnival and social movements from Latin America. To take on the theological decoloniality option, one needs to re-consider the sources, foundations and practices of an universal Christianity and re-read it from local commu- nities, its instances of power, presences and absences. Influenced by the indigenous people of Rio Grande do Sul and the Xingu, Indigenous epistemologies, we are called to dream not only about a religion of humans, but also dream of animals, mountains, soil, water, seeds, and nature. 1 Introduction Cláudio Carvalhaes, Associate Professor of Worship at Union Theological Seminary – New York City.
