Middle Eastern Gothics: Literature, Spectral Modernities and the Restless Past de Karen Grumberg

Middle Eastern Gothics: Literature, Spectral Modernities and the Restless Past: Gothic Literary Studies

Editat de Karen Grumberg
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mai 2023
A collection of studies on the Gothic in the Middle East and North Africa.

This is the first collection to cover Gothic literature from the Middle East and North Africa, surveying each of the major Middle Eastern languages—Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. In these languages and contexts, the Gothic helps express ongoing literary negotiations with modernity, leaving its distinctive mark on representations of globalization, postcolonialism, and nationalism. At the same time, Middle Eastern literary texts expand the boundaries of the mode on their own terms, refracting broad histories through local and indigenous forms, figures, and narratives commonly associated with the Gothic.

Recenzii

"This is a fascinating volume and a pioneering endeavor in the field of Gothic studies. It decentres the Gothic from its Eurocentric context and anchors it in primordial times of Arab and Islamic literary history and culture. Middle Eastern Gothics penetrates whole new geographies and new languages to critically explore the literature produced at pivotal historical junctures of the modern Middle East."

"This volume offers a brilliant and exciting intervention that embraces transnational regionalism as a challenge to the framework of globality and world literature. The various chapters draw together illuminating readings of key Gothic texts—in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish—with theories of genre and debates in Middle Eastern literatures. The critical attention to language and literary form cuts across the coordinates of north/south/east/west and provides a richly inspiring method of regional hauntology."

‘This valuable collection is the first scholarly volume on Gothic literature from the Middle East and North Africa. In scholarly, fascinating essays, this collection is attentive to the transnationality of the region, and the urgent necessity to recognise the ways that Gothic has always been shaped by global forces and influences. As a panelist wrote, this collection, 'Does genuinely valuable work in illuminating the development of modern Gothic beyond the familiar contexts of north America and western Europe.' Another panellist adds that the collection 'gently unsettles some of the assumptions other works, and our habitual critical frames, make about the Gothic. This collection will generate new work.'"
