Palestinian and Arab-Jewish Cultures: Language, Literature, and Identity by Reuv

Description: Palestinian and Arab-Jewish Cultures by Reuven Snir Studies Arabic literary production from the point of view of commitment and hybridization and the interactions between them FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Part of a two-volume set, this volume examines the issues of commitment and hybridization in Arabic literature concentrating on Palestinian literature and Arab-Jewish culture and the interactions between them. Reuvin Snir studies the contribution of Palestinian literature and theatre to Palestinian nation-building, especially since the 1948 Nakba. Becoming an essential part of the vocabulary of Arab intellectuals and writers, since the 1950s commitment (iltizm) has been employed to indicate the necessity for a writer to convey a message rather than merely create an imaginative work for its own sake. As for hybridization, the author focuses on the role Jews have played in Arabic literature against the backdrop of their contribution to this literature since the pre-Islamic period, and in light of the gradual demise of Arab-Jewish culture in recent years. The blending of elements from different cultures is one of the major phenomena in Arabic literature, certainly in light of its relationship with Islam and its cultural heritage, which has been extending during the last one-and-half millennia. Author Biography Reuven Snir is Professor of Arabic Language and Literature at the University of Haifa. His most recent books in English include Arab-Jewish Literature: The Birth and Demise of the Arabic Short Story (Brill, 2019), Modern Arabic Literature: A Theoretical Framework (EUP, 2017), Baghdad The City in Verse (Harvard University Press, 2013) and Who Needs Arab-Jewish Identity? (Brill, 2015). Review Apart from the authors possessing an undisputable in-depth knowledge of the subjects discussed, the most interesting thing with this work is the new perspectives that are being presented. This is achieved by the writers method of putting the subjects against the backdrop of different angles. The method of looking at the subjects against the different axes has its own original place and it gives its own contribution to a deeper understanding of Arabic literature.-- "Astrid Ottosson al-Bitar, Associate Professor, Stockholm University" Details ISBN1399503227 Author Reuven Snir Pages 400 Publisher Edinburgh University Press Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781399503228 Format Paperback Imprint Edinburgh University Press Subtitle Language, Literature, and Identity Place of Publication Edinburgh Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General ISBN-10 1399503227 Alternative 9781399503211 Illustrations Illustrations Publication Date 2024-11-30 UK Release Date 2024-11-30 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
