Prison Writings in Syria 99 is a novel that ends differently from the original’ (2012, p. 298). The translator continues by commenting on the ongoing ‘insurgency’ in Syria and adds that ‘In Praise of Hatred is a study of the absence of love and understanding in a nation historically famed for its tolerance’ (p. 299). 5 See Fouad Ajami (2012), ‘The Honor of Aleppo: A Syrian Novel and a Syrian Revolution’, The New Republic (7 February 2012), http://www.newrepublic. com/article/world/magazine/100436/syria-aleppo-khaled-khalifa-praise- hatred#.

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).

Confirmation has also been received of the deaths of three others, of whom at least one lost his life in the course of journalistic activity. Suhaib Dib was the victim of a targeted killing by the security forces in the Damascus suburb of Al-Meliha on 4 July. Although still a secondary school student, he was one of the city’s most energetic activists, and was always circulating news reports and content about the uprising and the government crackdown. Omar Al-Ghantawi, 19, was killed by a sniper while filming the shelling of the districts of Jobar and Al-Sultaniyeh in Homs on 21 June. He had given up his job as a mobile phone technician in order to cover the revolution and had shot hundreds of photos and videos documenting the Assad regime’s atrocities. Ghantawi was previously shot and wounded in the chest by a sniper after tearing down a poster of the late President Hafez Al-Assad, the father of the current dictator, Bashar Al-Assad, in the district of Baba Amr. After being confined to bed for three months, he had resumed filming as soon as he recovered. Reporters Without Borders has been able to confirm that Ghias Khaled Al-Hmouria was shot dead while filming an operation by the rebel Free Syrian Army in the Damascus suburb of Douma on 25 June.

    20W Macm Picador Mothers Stories by Chris Power An extraordinary" ( The Sunday Times ) debut of unnerving beauty, Chris Power's short story collection Mothers evokes the magic and despair of the essential human longing for purpose. Chris Power's stories are peopled by men and women who find themselves at crossroads or dead ends - characters who search without knowing what they seek. Their paths lead them to thresholds, bridges, rivers, and sites of mysterious, irresistible connection to the past. A woman uses her mother's old travel guide, aged years beyond relevance, to navigate on a journey to nowhere; a stand-up comic with writer's block performs a fateful gig at a cocaine-fueled bachelor party; on holiday in Greece, a father must confront the limits to which he can keep his daughters safe. Braided throughout is the story of Eva, a daughter, wife, and mother, whose search for a self and place of belonging tracks a devastating path through generations. Ranging from remote English moors to an ancient Swedish burial ground to a hedonistic Mexican wedding, the stories in Mothers lay bare the emotional Picador and psychic damage of life, love, and abandonment.

  • Turkish Historiography in Syria

    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.

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.
