Description

Alternatively (and much less ambitiously) I hope to provide a handy guide for those scholars of the history of literary criticism who are already, for some reason, looking for Arabic ideas. Poeticity, then, refers to the production of this experience of wonder through language; the more wonder-provoking the poetry, the more beautiful it is (2, 6-12). From my conversations with colleagues outside Arabic, Abu Deeb does not seem to have succeeded (though this should not be taken as criticism of his analyses). Listening carefully and humbly to what the primary texts have to say allowed me to see patterns, assumptions, and ultimately a theory of literary aesthetics.

This debate led to internal conflict among its members, which, in turn, led some of them to leave the magazine, including ’Adūnīs, whose reasons for leaving his editorial position will also be discussed later. When I set out on this project, I was simply asking the question: How did medieval authors assess the beauty of poetry? This book is a landmark study that paves the way for an altogether new, more inclusive and integrated understanding of Egypt’s cultural history. However, both use the same subjective standard of aesthetics that evaluates poetry through extrinsic concerns. Many articles on the topic did not seem to attract significant attention, but this book cannot be ignored.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). I point out the efforts to change the poetic concept from its superficial descriptive horizontality into a deep verticality concerned with the spiritual dimensions of Man. Chapter Three : Majallat Shi‘r and Arab Poetics: Towards the Poem of Revelation (Kashf) and Vision (Ru‘yā).

In using a forgotten and misunderstood body of literary theory to bring alive literary texts from antiquity, Rediscovering Ancient Egyptian Literature Through Arabic Poetics is a masterful contribution, not only to ancient Egyptian poetics but also to the postcolonial Arabic literary canon. He is the author of The Intellectual and the People in Egyptian Literature and Culture: Amāra and the 2011 Revolution (2014). and his successors, inaugurating a new aesthetic standard for poeticity that objectively measures the intrinsic ability of the language to provoke wonder through a cognitive process of discovery, as they move away from the truth-false dichotomy to a rational-imaginative ( ʿaqlī– takhyīlī) paradigm (47).Since Arabic, along with other Semitic languages, such as Hebrew and Akkadian, belongs, like ancient Egyptian, to the Afro-Asiatic linguistic phylum, this vital study also proposes an Arabic-based textual analytic method as a viable comparative critical method for working across these kindred languages. In Chapter 2 of the book I discuss how, in the Arabic commentaries on Aristotle’s Poetics, mimesis came to be understood as comparison or simile. While Chapter 1 covered Jurjānī’s notion of takhyīl and its subsequent role in badīʿ, Chapters 3 and 4 cover the figures of ‘elucidation’ ( bayān).

Such an analysis enables a view of the development of modern Arabic literature, especially the various aspects of poetry through its clashes with the prevailing fundamentalist trend. This chapter deals with the project of translating foreign texts and publishing ←17 | 18→them regularly in Majallat Shi‘r. Esad Durakovic holds a PhD in the field of Arabic literature from the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade and is Professor of Arabic Languages and Arabic Literature at the University of Sarajevo. Harb, currently a professor of Arabic Literature at Princeton University, received her doctorate from New York University in 2013.

I also discovered that its sophistication has been greatly underestimated in modern scholarship, even by scholars I greatly respect and admire. She is the author of articles in journals including Journal of American Oriental Society and Middle Eastern Literatures. Fayza Haikal, the American University in Cairo {"}Hany Rashwan takes a significant step beyond existing scholarly traditions, revealing typological similarities between ancient Egyptian and Arabic poetics. How many times have we experienced immense joy after solving a mentally rigorous problem, or felt displeasure with the incorrect reasoning of others? The second is diachronic, covering the literary developments that took place during different periods.
