  • Azazeel : Historiographic Metafiction in the Contemporary Arabic Historical Novel)*(
    Alternative Histories in Youssef Ziedan's Azazeel : Historiographic Metafiction in the Contemporary Arabic Historical Novel)*( Dr. Hala Mohamed Kamel Amin Assistant Professor - Department of English Faculty of Al-Alsun – Beni Suef University Abstract Drawing on Linda Hutcheon's theory, this article reads Azazeel as a historiographic metafiction. It argues that the novel not only denounces the so-called religious, or religiously-motivated, violence but also has an additional epistemological import, articulated in the novel's historiographic metafictional narrative which, in accordance with Hutcheon's theory, provides an alternative history that foregrounds the 'narrativity' of historical narratives and represents the past from a 'marginal' perspective to question the absolute authority of metanarratives, undermine monolithic notions of knowledge, and develop a balanced production and dissemination of knowledge. The article examines the novel's use of historiographic metafictional techniques which reflect its thematic content and its espousal of the postmodern ideology of diversity and pluralism. The article demonstrates that, without denying its heritage, Azazeel engages with the global postmodern condition, locates the Arabic historical novel within the wider context of world historical fiction, and opens up new avenues for research on historiographic metafiction. )*( Bulletin of the Faculty of Arts Volume 81 Issue 2 January 2021 74 Bulletin of the Faculty of Arts Volume 81 Issue 2 January 2021 السرديات التاريخية البديلة في رواية "عزازيل" للكاتب يوسف زيدان: ما وراء القص التاريخي في الرواية التاريخية العربية المعاصرة د/ هالة محمد كامل أمين مدرس- قسم اللغة اﻻنجليزية- كلية اﻷلسن- جامعة بنى سويف الملخص : تقدم المقالة قارءة في ضوء نظريات ليندا هتشون لرواية عزازيل للكاتب يوسف زيدان كمثال من اﻷدب العربي لما وارء القص التاريخي.

  • The American University in Cairo Press Centennial Catalog
    The American University in Cairo Press Centennial Catalog New Books 2019 Cover: See The American University in Cairo: 100 Years, 100 Stories, pages 4 and 5 Letter from the Director It gives me great pleasure to join in marking the hundredth anniversary of the founding of our parent institution, the American University in Cairo, with the publication of this celebratory catalog of AUC Press books. Spanning two publication seasons, it features all titles published or forthcoming in 2019 and early 2020, not least The American Uni- versity in Cairo: 100 Years, 100 Stories by Andrew Humphreys (page 4). This engaging and attractive volume is a fitting tribute to AUC’s legacy and a valuable documentation of the people, history, and events that have helped shape the university. Suitably, this catalog also presents James Steele’s survey of the works and architectural philosophy of the principal architect of the Community Design Collaborative, the firm which led the design and construction of AUC’s New Cairo campus, Abdelhalim Ibrahim Abdel- halim: An Architecture of Collective Memory (page 3). Meanwhile Aidan Dodson builds on the success of Sethy I: King of Egypt, His Life and Afterlife (page 16) to bring us the next title in the AUC Press book series on key figures in ancient Egyptian history,Rameses III, King of Egypt, His Life and Afterlife (page 17). This year’s offerings of ancient Egypt titles also include Reg Clark’s Securing Eternity: Ancient Egyptian Tomb Security from Prehistory to the Pyramids (page 19), a study of the evolution of this aspect of tomb architecture over more than two millennia; and a wide-ranging collected volume on non- royal elite autobiographical texts and inscriptions, Living Forever: Self-Presentation in Ancient Egypt (page 19), edited by Hussein Bassir.

Thesis Summary Aston University The Role of Social Agents in the Translation into English of the Novels of Naguib Mahfouz Linda Ahed Alkhawaja Doctor of Philosophy (by Research) April, 2014 This research investigates the field of translation in an Egyptain context around the work of the Egyptian writer and Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz by adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework. Bourdieu’s framework is used to examine the relationship between the field of cultural production and its social agents. The thesis includes investigation in two areas: first, the role of social agents in structuring and restructuring the field of translation, taking Mahfouz’s works as a case study; their role in the production and reception of translations and their practices in the field; and second, the way the field, with its political and socio-cultural factors, has influenced translators’ behaviour and structured their practices.

    This issue of Zeitsprünge collects a variety of theoretical approaches to and exem- plary readings of medieval and early modern practices of commentary from the point of view of Arabic, Latin, Jewish, English, German, and Romance Studies. Zeitsprünge Since antiquity, commentaries have accompanied sacred, cultural, and literary ) Heft 1/2 ) Heft texts, serving to justify their relevance and canonicity. As a particular way of (re-) Forschungen appropriation, commentaries have been instruments for the transmission of legal 2 2 and religious norms and values, as well as purveyors of ancient knowledge which has to be preserved verbatim, and yet be kept open for future communication. In zur Frühen Neuzeit this context, commentary acts as a means for constituting and stabilizing tradi- tions: it endows them with dignity, and introduces new thoughts while claiming to enhance the understanding of old ones. By lionizing the accompanied text as an object of prestige and status, commentary generates the source for its own validity. At times, the commentary even attains a sovereignty of interpretation Band 24 (22) that can supersede or push aside any original intentions of the text. Thus, the Heft 1/2 study of commentary is key to describing aspects of authority, institutionality, creativity, and textual empowerment from a comparative perspective. The arti- 24 ( Zeitsprünge Band cles in this issue highlight the role that the study of commentary can play in a historical understanding of premodern and early modern textuality, epistemol- ogy, and mediality.

    Journal of Arts & Humanities The Problematics of Identity & Identity Erasure in Youssef Ziedan’s Azazeel Dr. Ahmad M.S. Abu Baker1 ABSTRACT This article aims to highlight the different layers of identity - religious, physical, spiritual, or divine - the process of rethinking and reshaping identity, its concomitant process of labelling and the desire for identity erasure in Youssef Ziedan’s Azazeel using mainly postcolonial theory. The symbols in the text are analysed using the Psychological and the Archetypal approaches, and Derridian insights are utilised in dealing with the theme of ‘uncertainty’ which permeates the novel. Textual analysis reveals that counter to the traditional thought of identity as an absolute metaphysical essence and an irrefutably inherited tradition, identity is seen here as limiting, clashing with individual happiness and is thus, dynamic i.e. constantly rethought and reshaped, evolutionary, dangerous – even deadly when it arouses hatred and violence. The process of rethinking identity appears as a necessary step towards selfhood. Hence, the protagonist, Hypa, who is lost in uncertainty, struggles to understand his identity and exhibits a strong desire for erasing it to escape labelling and eventually live in freedom. Keywords: Identity, erasure, labelling, religious violence, Youssef Ziedan’s Azazeel. Available Online: 19th December, 2015. This is an open access article under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License, 2015. 1.0 Introduction Youssef Ziedan’s Azazeel won the International Prize for Arabic fiction in 2009 in recognition of the author’s creative talent and the engaging literary style of the significant debates it communicates. 1Associate Professor, Department of English Language & Literature, Al al-Bayt University, Mafraq - Jordan, [email protected].
