This book was released on 2000 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra propone una reflexión sobre el impacto que en la recepción de la literatura árabe contemporánea en Europa tuvo la concesión en 1988 del Premio Nobel de Literatura a un autor en lengua árabe: Naguib Mahfuz. El Nobel a Mahfuz activó el interés de las editoriales, que buscaron el contacto con especialistas y traductores, y provocó un aumento de las traducciones de literatura árabe contemporánea. Pero, ¿se trataba simplemente de un fenómeno coyuntural ligado al premio, o se había canalizado realmente el interés hacia una lengua y cultura tan próximas geográficamente como desconocidas en el viejo continente? ¿Podíamos hablar de una recepción europea de la literatura árabe contemporánea, o quizás era más conveniente referirse a recepciones nacionales en cada uno de los países en función de contextos particulares? ¿Había sido valorada esta literatura en los medios periodísticos europeos por su calidad, por contener unas señas de identidad incuestionables y por ofrecer una dimensión estética o creadora propias, o seguía siendo acogida sólo como expresión de hábitos y conductas diferentes, a favor o en contra de la liberación de la mujer o del extremismo religioso, desde la óptica narrativa de ’Las mil y una noches’, o fuera de ella? Transcurrida una década del Nobel 1988, por primera vez en la historia a un escritor en lengua árabe, la Escuela de Traductores de Toledo consideró que era un buen momento para hacer un primer balance sobre la recepción de la literatura árabe contemporánea en Europa. Estas páginas recogen las respuestas que traductores, profesores, narradores y editores de diferentes países de la cuenca mediterránea ofrecieron durante el coloquio que bajo el mismo título se celebró en la Escuela de Traductores de Toledo del 29 al 31 de octubre de 1998, gracias al apoyo de la Fundación Europea de la Cultura, en el marco del Observatorio Permanente sobre la Traducción del Árabe.

Download or read book Moroccan Islam written by Dale F. Eickelman and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the first comprehensive studies of Islam as locally understood in the Middle East. Specifically, it is concerned with the prevalent North African belief that certain men, called marabouts, have a special relation to God that enables them to serve as intermediaries and to influence the well-being of their clients and kin. Dale F. Eickelman examines the Moroccan pilgrimage center of Boujad and unpublished Moroccan and French archival materials related to it to show how popular Islam has been modified by its adherents to accommodate new social and economic realities. In the course of his analysis he demonstrates the necessary interrelationship between social history and the anthropological study of symbolism. Eickelman begins with an outline of the early development of Islam in Morocco, emphasizing the "maraboutic crisis" of the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. He also examines the history and social characteristics of the Sherqawi religious lodge, on which the study focuses, in preprotectorate Morocco. In the central portion of the book, he analyzes the economic activities and social institutions of Boujad and its rural hinterland, as well as some basic assumptions the townspeople and tribesmen make about the social order. Finally, there is an intensive discussion of maraboutism as a phenomenon and the changing local character of Islam in Morocco. In focusing on the "folk" level of Islam, rather than on "high culture" tradition, the author has made possible a more general interpretation of Moroccan society that is in contrast with earlier accounts that postulated a marked discontinuity between tribe and town, past and present.

Download or read book The History of the Maghrib written by Abdallah Laroui and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This survey of North African history challenges both conventional attitudes toward North Africa and previously published histories written from the point of view of Western scholarship. The book aims, in Professor Laroui's words, "to give from within a decolonized vision of North African history just as the present leaders of the Maghrib are trying to modernize the economic and social structure of the country." The text is divided into four parts: the origins of the Islamic conquest; the stages of Islamization; the breakdown of central authority from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries; and the advent of colonial rule. Drawing on the methods of sociology and political science as well as traditional and modern historical approaches, the author stresses the evolution marked by these four stages and the internal forces that affected it. Until now, the author contends, North African history has been written either by colonial administrators and politicians concerned to defend foreign rule, or by nationalist ideologues. Both used an old-fashioned historiography, he asserts, focusing on political events, dynastic conflicts, and theological controversies. Here, Abdallah Laroui seeks to present the viewpoint of a Maghribi concerning the history of his own country, and to relate this history to the present structure of the region.
