The editors want the title of the series to be understood programmatically. They presuppose a concept of world literature that includes Near Eastern and North African literatures. What is more, they assume that literatures are in many ways marked by intertextuality, that they constitute readings of extremely diverse earlier texts, and that they are posited within a field of tensions, much broader than their respective national language. For the earlier eras of Near Eastern and North African literatures, this field of tensions geographically covers the regions of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor. In modern times, it has become a space of interaction that has long since included “global” Western literatures (and realities). This does not imply that the modern Near Eastern and North African literatures have severed themselves from their predecessors. Instead it is precisely the tension between different sets of references in modern Near Eastern and North African literatures, or their “local historical context”, which is a great part of their attraction, that remains a crucial field of research for the modern scholar. 01 01 28 Arabic Minimalist Story Genre, Politics and Poetics in the Self-colonial Era 1 A01 16 0000000066617709 25 138067783 21 0000000314667028 Ibrahim Taha Taha, Ibrahim Ibrahim Taha 01 eng 00 184 03 26 2.0 1569 93 1.4 DSB 95 1.4 2CSR 93 1.4 JPA 93 1.4 JBF 93 1.4 CF 20 Arabic literature; Arabisch; Arabistik; Arab Women and Gender Studies; comparative literature; Geschichte; Literary Genres; Literaturwissenschaft; Minimalism in Literature; Neuere Geschichte; Orientalische Sprachen; Political Studies of the Arab World; Politikwissenschaft; Social Studies of the Arab World; Sprachwissenschaft 02 00 One of the major aims of this book is to characterize the Arabic minimalist story as a newly established genre of narrative fiction that exploits a host of “austere” techniques in order to present a variety of socio-political issues. Believing in “less is more”, Arab minimalist writers hope to generate an extreme effect by relating and saying several things with a minimum of words. The unique powerful effect of inspiring its readers to fight and resist that is attributed to the Arabic minimalist story stems paradoxically from its concentrated, focal, sudden, and immediate presentation. 03 00 This unique study aims at characterizing the Arabic minimalist story as a new genre of narrative fiction that exploits many austere devices of post-modern strategies to exhibit a variety of socio-political and ideological matters that affect the fundamental needs of the common people in all Arab states. One of the major aims of this study is to expose the reader to the particularity of the Arabic minimalist story on both levels, thematic and aesthetic. On the thematic level, political, national and citizenship questions are at the top of the genre’s agenda. Other topics, such as feminism and economic conditions, also attract significant interest among minimalist writers in all Arab countries. However, Arab minimalist writers are mostly preoccupied by national and political issues related to their quest for freedom, free speech, and proper interrelations between common people and rulers. In reading Arabic minimalist fiction, we come to recognize that the political crisis in Arab states has been among the uppermost concerns of Arab minimalist writers for the last three decades. On the aesthetic/poetic level, Arabic minimalist story is mostly applied to identify texts that are pared down to their most essential features and fundamental components. One of the departure points of the minimalist story in modern Arabic fiction is ‘blurring transparency’, which challenges the reader and his ability to go beyond the surface, namely to cross the verbal text to unseen texts. Since the minimalist story goes immediately to the point of the text, implicitly or explicitly, it generates a deep sense of powerful product. This is apparently the very reason why the minimalist story is particularly apt for devices that forcefully move the reader, such as satire, sarcasm, the absurd, irony, the grotesque, caricature, paradox, and the like. Unlike long genres of narrative fiction, which narrate a piece of reality or history, the minimalist story touches directly the core of the experience that the writer wishes to portray. Unlike long narrative genres, of well-explained events and detailed descriptions, the unique powerful effect of the minimalist story stems from its concentrated, focal and sudden presentation. Fighting and resistance are well suited to the minimalist story, which does not scatter the reader’s attention to side issues. The immediacy and shortness of minimalist fiction are apparently the very features needed to reach the extreme of challenge and resistance. 12 00 Ibrahim Taha Born in Israel, Ph.D. in comparative literature from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1994.

Diese Reihe stellt innovative Arbeiten zu den nahöstlichen Literaturen in ihren verschiedenen Epochen und Gattungen vor. Sie versteht sich nicht ausschließlich als ein Forum für Orientwissenschaftler, sondern möchte auch Komparatisten, Literaturwissenschaftlern und einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit Einblicke in das breite Spektrum gegenwärtig produzierter und rezipierter Literatur des Nahen Ostens bieten. Denn die Herausgeberinnen, Autorinnen und Autoren wollen den Titel der Reihe programmatisch verstanden wissen. Sie gehen von einem Begriff der Weltliteratur aus, der die orientalischen Literaturen nicht nur statisch einbegreift, sondern sie in ein Kulturregionen und Nationalsprachen übergreifendes Spannungsfeld stellt, dessen Dynamik erst im interdisziplinären Austausch erfasst werden kann. Sie gehen ferner davon aus, dass Literaturen in vielfacher Weise intertextuell geprägt sind, dass sie Lektüren verschiedenster vorausgehender Texte darstellen und daher erst in ihrem „lokalen historischen Kontext“ ihren Reiz als Ausdruck einer regional geprägten Ästhetik entfalten können. Die Reihe versucht so, einer neuen Sensibilität für mythische, archetypische, aber auch historische Subtexte in der nahöstlichen Literatur Bahn zu brechen, sie aber gleichzeitig als wichtigen Ausdruck einer globalen kulturellen Mobilität sichtbar zu machen. 01 00 03 02 01 D502 02 800 03 567 07 92567 https://medialibrary.reichert-verlag.de/media/original/9783895006661.jpg 25 00 04 02 01 E107 06 0d897ecb0fd2fc79cba9ca77c9727182 07 178583 https://medialibrary.reichert-verlag.de/media/pdf/9783895006661_toc.pdf 15 00 04 02 01 E107 06 026b14fe8edc4058fe810602ee3324d3 07 339888 https://medialibrary.reichert-verlag.de/media/pdf/9783895006661_sample.pdf 41 00 04 02 01 E107 06 be6b3fd04d625fe9e8abb2dc11d7e508 07 225907 https://medialibrary.reichert-verlag.de/media/pdf/9783895006661_preface.pdf Reichert Verlag 01 04 15275 06 4399901869295 23 DE161050927 25 1065107307 Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag Inhaberin Ursula Reichert 01 https://reichert-verlag.de 02 https://reichert-verlag.de/9783895006661_arabic_minimalist_story-detail/ 03 https://medialibrary.reichert-verlag.de Wiesbaden DE 10 04 15275 06 4399901869295 23 DE161050927 25 1065107307 Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag Inhaberin Ursula Reichert Ursula Reichert +496119465911 info@reichert-verlag.de Tauernstraße 11 Wiesbaden 65199 DE 04 01 20090430 11 2009 27 15 9783752000764 00 23 DE146124076 Brockhaus Kommissionsgeschäft GmbH 01 https://www.brocom.de 20 02 02 49.00 01 R 7.00 EUR DE 02 02 50.40 01 R 10.00 EUR AT 02 02 73.50 USD US
