Festeinband. Condition: Wie neu. XII, 232 Seiten. Tadelloses Exemplar. Mint copy. - "This study examines the revival of Sufism in the Arabic and Turkish novel during the second half of the 20th century. A picture is drawn where Sufism forms a main source of literary inspiration and becomes a mode to establish continuity with the… past. Sufism is in this context not solely a passively transmitted cultural artifact; it quite the contrary becomes a major instrument to construct identity and meaning to a post-industrial society. In this respect, the act of writing becomes prayer of a sort; storytelling enables the Self to rest from the dreary political realities of authoritarian modernist ideologies. Thus, writing, in contrast to reason-driven, materialist, modernity becomes meaningful and enables the Self to connect with something beyond immanent reality; in one word, writing becomes re-enchantment." - Content: Acknowledgements - Notes on Translation and Transliteration - Introduction - The Return of Storytelling: The Postmodern Quest for Mysticism - "The Disenchantment of the World": Western Critics of Modernity, the Concept of - Multiple Modernities and the Urge towards the Mystical - The Mystical Turn as Process of Self-examination: Sufism in Relation to Modernity - and Cultural Heritage - Current State of Research - Works of Reference: Studies on Arabic and Turkish Postmodern Literature - Publications on Nationalist Historiography and Non-European Modernities - Goknar's and Elmarsafy's Notions of Secular Sufism - Contributions and Significance of this Study in Relation to Previous Research - Rural Mysticism versus Urban Modernity: "An Elegy of the Old World and an - Expression of a New World Being Born" - Transformation of Rural Space under the Banner of Modernity: Urbanization and - Agrarian Reforms in the Arab World and Turkey in the s and s - The Marriage of Sense and Soul: al-Tayyib Salih's "Dumat Wad Hamid" ("The - Doum Tree of Wad Hamid," ) and Urs al-Zayn (The Wedding ofZein, ) - Setting the Stage: "Dumat Wad Hamid" ("The Doum Tree of Wad Hamid," ) - Sufi Folk Saints, Imams, Outlaws and Educated Village Women: Archetypes and - Mythical Figures in Urs al-Zayn - When the Village Fool Became a Dervish: The Mystical Transformation of Zayn - The Wedding as Mystical Celebration of Mahabba and Community - The Future Whispers through the Anatolian Snowstorm: Yasar Kemal's Yer Demir - Gok Bakir (Iron Earth, Copper Sky, ) - Sociopolitical Context and Elements of Realism - The Mystical Opening and the Process of Sanctification of the Figure Ta§ba§ - The Inner Conversion of Ta§ba§: From Sober Skeptic to Contemplating Mystic - The Snowstorm and the Mysterious Disappearance of Tasba - Farewell You Worshippers of the Beloved: 'Abd al-Haklm Qasim's Ayyam al-Insan - al-Sab'a (The Seven Days of Man) - The Village: 'Abd al as an Adolescent and the Sufi Gatherings - Abd al-AzTz in Tanta: Fascination for the Urban and Dissociation from the Past - Abd al-Aziz's Return to the Village: The Transformation of Rural Space - The Comparative Perspective: The Role of a Rural Sufi Saint in Times of Change - Sufism and Commitment: "My Sufism Is that I Care about Human Concerns - and Social Issues" - Iltizam and Toplumcu Gerqekqilik' The Adoption of Jean-Paul Sartre's Concept of - Litterature Engagee in the Postcolonial Arab Context and in the Turkish Republic - The Beggar for Meaning: Naglb Mahfuz's al-Shahhadh (The Beggar) - The Beggar for Meaning - Disenchantment of Revolution - Escapism: Sexual Pleasure and Mystical Ecstasy - Beyond Escapism: Convergence of Sufism and Commitment Ill - Einstein Encounters Mevlana: Oguz Atay's Bir Bilim Adaminin Romani: Mustafa - Inan (The Life ofa Scientist: Mustafa Inan) - The Turkish Bildungsroman - Mustafa Inan: A Modern Scientist on the Mystical Path - The Spiritual Quest Meets Social Commitment: Mustafa Inan's Concept of - Kamil Bir Insan / Insan-i Kamil - Neither Spiritual Dandy nor Cold Scientist: Mustafa Inan as a Counter-Image - to the "Be.

fester Einband. 248 S. Kart. *neuwertig* For a more profound understand of present-day Middle East, a closer look at the vivid literary debates on Identity in the Arab world and Turkey are beneficial and eligible. A recurring theme in these debates has been the contrasting juxtaposition between European modernity and local cultu…ral tradition. Is total rejection of the own past necessary to become true modernists? If not, how can one relate to tradition, avoiding taking a forfeited, reactionary position? This thesis will examine the revival of Islamic mysticism in the 20th century, a significant cornerstone to both cultural traditions, in the contemporary Arabic and Turkish novel. To what extend could the turn to Islamic mysticism in both Near Eastern literatures be seen a process of critical Self-examination? Is the appropriation of mystical language, tropes and philosophy by contemporary Arabic and Turkish literati an attempt to reconcile with the past and overcome cultural paradoxes? Or is this phenomenon rather to be seen as a regional manifestation of a postmodern "Re-enchantment" that, aligned with critics of modernity such as Weber, Heidegger and T.S Eliot, seek to heal a disenchanted world and provide endowment with meaning to the present? These questions will be examined on the basis of a selected number of contemporary Arabic and Turkish novels. Departing from the chosen examples, a picture is drawn where mysticism forms a main source of literary inspiration and becomes a mode to establish continuity with the past. Islamic mysticism is in this context not solely a passively transmitted cultural artifact; it quite the contrary becomes a major instrument to construct Identity and meaning to a post-industrial society. In this respect the act of writing becomes prayer of a sort; storytelling enables the Self to rest from the dreary political realities of authoritarian modernist ideologies. Thus, writing, in contrast to reason-driven, materialist, modernity becomes meaningful, enables the Self to connect with something beyond immanent reality; in one word, writing becomes "re-enchantment". In this context, the turn to mysticism paradoxically enables the contemporary Arabic and Turkish novel to merge with universalism and world literature. Sprache: Englisch.
