Produktbeschreibung

This book presents theoretical and methodical cultural concerns in teaching literatures from non-American cultures along with issues of cross-cultural communication, cultural competency and translation. Covering topics such as the 1001 Nights, Maqamat, Arabic poetry, women's writing, classical poetics, issues of gender, race, and class, North African concerns, language acquisition through literature, Arab-spring writing, women's correspondence, issues connected with the so called nahdah (revival) movement in the 19th century and many others, the book provides perspectives and topics that serve in both the planning of new courses and accommodation to already existing programs.

Rezensionen

This rich volume with its useful and original focus on teaching makes me wish I were teaching Arabic literature again. Including chapters by experts on all the major and many minor genres, the highly stimulating collection will be fruitfully read by teachers and students of Arabic and world literature. Geert Jan van Gelder, Laudian Professor of Arabic emeritus, University of Oxford.

This critically acute and pedagogically canny collection offers a host of ways to bring Arabic literature more fully into comparative and world literature classrooms, as well as in more specifically Middle Eastern courses. These essays offer new pathways into a wide range of classic and modern texts, in illuminating discussions that will be full of interest for teachers, scholars, and general readers alike. David Damrosch, Ernest Bernbaum Professor and Chair, Department of Comparative Literature, Harvard University

In this fine addition to a growing corpus of such materials, Muhsin al-Musawi and his colleagues have brought to bear on the teaching of Arabic literature a wide-ranging, high quality and apposite set of texts, insights, and best practices, designed to guide both novices and seasoned experts alike. Shawkat M. Toorawa, Professor of Arabic Literature, Yale University
