Tasnim Qutait

4.9/5 (23385 ratings)

Description:Interweaving theories and studies of memory, nostalgia, ruins and archives with the works of Fadia Faqir, Ahdaf Soueif, Jamal Mahioub and others, in this book Tasnim Qutait sheds light on understudied Arab British writers. Arguing that nostalgia challenges nationalist and political ideologies rather than reiterating them, Qutait uses nostalgia as a concept interlinking loss, memory and trauma. Anlysing both Arabic and English language texts, she questions the binary of negative and positive forms of nostalgia, emerging from its etymology as a sickness in Western tradition, through invoking the multifarious strands related to nostalgic emotion in Arab traditions.Offering an in-depth engagement with Anglophone Arab fiction in the context of critical and theoretical debates around memory, history and nostalgia, this book bridges the gap between Anglophone and Arabic scholarship, contributing to the ongoing postcolonial and transnational turn in memory studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
