Harrassowitz Verlag 2019. 1. Hardcover Fadenbindung. New. 240 x 170 cm. Arabic Literature in a Posthuman World explores Arabic literary production after the so-called �Arab Spring�. 23 specialists of modern Arabic literature analyze the many ways in which contemporary Arab authors view and comment on a world that is dramatically changing and disintegrating a world full of violent conflict social instability ideological vacuum and political collapse where there does not seem to be any place for humanity any more. The spread of new technologies and media added this world not only appears inhumane but also posthuman a world of monstrosity in which mankind no longer controls its own destiny. Authors react to this with a writing of a new quality that makes the old humanist project of an Arab naha appear as a failed utopia. A first section focuses on the increased interest that authors assign to the past as a shaper of the present. The other sections highlight the many subversive techniques with which the writers try to reassert humanity against the overall trend of de-humanization. The spectrum spans from �Contested Spaces over Science Fiction and Dystopia� and methods of �Countering/Resisting Fragmentation� �Dispersal� �Loss� �Oblivion� to �Satire and Rap�. The volume is the first to explore what Ihab Hassan�s term posthumanism widely debated only in and for Western contexts so far may mean in other parts of the world.

Harrassowitz Verlag 2019. 1. Softcover Fadenbindung. New. 220 x 145 cm. This anthology by Stephan Guth assembles in English translation more than fourty prose texts of modern Arabic Turkish Persian and Hebrew fiction from the 19th century reform period until the early 2000s. Each of them can be regarded as having attained canonical status � not only because they display �typical� stylistic features of the periods to which their respective national literary historiographies usually ascribe them �Reformism� �Romanticism� Socially criticial Realism� etc. but also because they mirror in an exemplary manner the political and social situations in their countries at the times they were written. As unfiltered comments by Middle Easterners who lived through decisive phases of their societies� development and experienced the ups and downs of their peoples� histories the voices that speak from this collection have the quality of representative sources that grant us immediate insight into Middle Eastern lifeworlds. They make us relive the conflicts dreams traumata desires and emotions of Arab Turkish Iranian and Israeli society at certain points in history and give us access to the worldviews and creative imagination with which authors meet and process the changes and challenges they register. The introductory paragraphs preceding each text provide background knowledge and the �red thread� their ensemble combining to a literary history of the Middle East in a nutshell.
