Document description.

The structure of this course is inspired by it’s Building Bridges theme. The course begins with foundational debates on marginalization in Arabic literature, followed by an exploration of the history of Arabic fiction in translation. This ensures that students grasp key issues before engaging with questions of translatability in week three, providing them with the necessary theoretical and conceptual tools to analyze classic texts. The Arabian Nights and Kalila wa Dimna offer significant case studies of Arabic literary history and cross-cultural circulation. The mid-section of the course, spanning weeks five to seven, bridges classical
and modern Arabic literature by examining its current reception in the Western market, followed by discussions on postcolonialism and literary resistance to the canon. The final weeks shift towards emerging themes in Arabic literature, including ecofeminism and exile. These topics engage with pressing discussions of displacement, identity, and the environment in global literary studies. Ending with Arabic literature and exile in the last week allows for a powerful closing discussion that ties together themes of translation, migration, and cultural adaptation. This reinforces the course’s central objective of exploring Arabic literature as a bridge across linguistic, cultural, and geographic divides.

Presented by the New University in Exile Consortium at The New School for Social Research.
