Download or read book Contemporary Arab Thought written by Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the second half of the twentieth century, the Arab intellectual and political scene polarized between a search for totalizing doctrines--nationalist, Marxist, and religious--and radical critique. Arab thinkers were reacting to the disenchanting experience of postindependence Arab states, as well as to authoritarianism, intolerance, and failed development. They were also responding to successive defeats by Israel, humiliation, and injustice. The first book to take stock of these critical responses, this volume illuminates the relationship between cultural and political critique in the work of major Arab thinkers, and it connects Arab debates on cultural malaise, identity, and authenticity to the postcolonial issues of Latin America and Africa, revealing the shared struggles of different regions and various Arab concerns.

Download or read book The Suspended Disaster written by Thomas Serres and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Algeria’s president Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced his intention to run for a fifth term in early 2019, a popular peaceful uprising erupted calling for change. Bouteflika, who had been in office since 1999, was eventually forced to resign, but the Hirak (“movement”) continued to protest the country’s inequalities and entrenched ruling elite. The Suspended Disaster examines the dynamics of the Algerian political system, offering new insights into the last years of Bouteflika’s rule and the factors that shaped the emergence of an unexpected social movement. Thomas Serres argues that the Algerian ruling coalition developed a mode of government based on the management of a seemingly never-ending crisis, marked by an obsession with security and the ever-present possibility of unrest, violence, and economic collapse. Identifying this form of rule as “governance by catastrophization,” he shows how attempts to preserve the status quo through emergency policies and constant reforms can also lay the groundwork for a revolutionary situation. Serres contrasts the government’s portrayal of perpetually imminent disaster with the uncertainty, precarity, and indignity experienced by much of the population, which fueled the rejection of ruling elites, a profound mistrust toward institutions, and new spaces for grassroots opposition. Based on extensive fieldwork and theoretically novel, The Suspended Disaster sheds new light on the political, economic, and social processes underlying an uprising that changed the face of Algerian politics.

Download or read book Citizenship Belonging and Nation States in the Twenty First Century written by Nicole Stokes-DuPass and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizenship, Belonging, and Nation-States in the Twenty-First Century contributes to the scholarship on citizenship and integration by examining belonging in an array of national settings and by demonstrating how nation-states continue to matter in citizenship analysis. Citizenship policies are positioned as state mechanisms that actively shape the integration outcomes and experiences of belonging for all who reside within the nation-state. This edited volume contributes an alternative to the promotion of post-national models of membership and emphasizes that the most fundamental facet of citizenship—a status of recognition in relationship to a nation-state—need not be left in the 'relic galleries' of an allegedly outdated political past. This collection offers a timely contribution, both theoretical and empirical, to understanding citizenship, nationalism, and belonging in contexts that feature not only rapid change but also levels of entrenchment in ideological and historical legacies.
Download or read book Inspiriertes Schreiben written by Peter Dové and published by Schwabe Verlag (Basel). This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literatur als Seismograph gesellschaftlichen Lebens lässt spüren, wie weit dieses Leben von religiösen Vorstellungen durchtränkt ist. Verschiedene Islamwissenschaftler gehen in ihren Beiträgen der Frage nach, wie 'der Islam' oder 'Islamisches' im literarischen Schaffen arabischer, türkischer und persischer Autoren sichtbar wird. In literaturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive untersuchen sie den Einfluss der Religion auf die Gestaltung des täglichen Lebens in den fiktionalen Lebensgeschichten. Unter sprachwissenschaftlichem Gesichtspunkt befassen sie sich mit religiös assoziierten Metaphern und generell der sprachlichen Präsenz des Religiösen in den Texten. Es dreht sich um die Frage, in welchem Ausmass 'Islamisches' sozusagen 'automatisch' in literarischen Werken auftaucht, weil das dargestellte Leben eben durch eine 'islamische' Lebensführung bestimmt oder beeinflusst ist und weil das verfügbare sprachliche Instrumentarium 'islamisch' unterlegt ist.
