Brill The Tale of a Feud: Domination, Resistance, and Agency in Highland Yemen
Book SynopsisThis book chronicles the life and times of tribal leader Mujāhid Ḥaydar, scion of a prominent local dynasty, and his agency in highland Yemen’s political conflicts from the 1970s to the early 2000s. When the political elites of the Ṣāliḥ regime murder his father and his elder brothers, he is forced to exact revenge and lead his tribe through dramatic vicissitudes that culminate in the catastrophe of the Ḥūthī wars. Mujāhid’s life is a story of ongoing strife, heroism, resistance, commitment to the defence of honour, loss, and exile. His biography offers nuanced and original insights into how tribal politics in Yemen influence the domain of the state and are often intertwined with it – such that neither can be comprehended independently from the other.Table of ContentsList of Maps and Figures Acknowledgements Introduction Notes on Transliteration Glossary Abbreviations Chronology Chapter 1: Childhood in Obscurity Chapter 2: The Serpent with the Many Heads Chapter 3: Burdensome Inheritances Chapter 4: The Road to Politics Chapter 5: The Time of Faits Accomplis Chapter 6: Those Who Loosen and Those Who Bind Some Final Thoughts on Tribes, Politics, and Passions References Index

Brill The Sung Home. Narrative, Morality, and the
Book SynopsisThe Sung Home tells the story of Kurdish singer-poets (dengbêjs) in Kurdistan in Turkey, who are specialized in the recital singing of historical songs. After a long period of silence, they returned to public life in the 2000s and are presented as guardians of history and culture. Their lyrics, life stories, and live performances offer fascinating insights into cultural practices, local politics and the contingencies of state borders. Decades of oppression have deeply politicized and moralized cultural and musical production. Through in-depth ethnographic analysis Hamelink highlights the variety of personal and social narratives within a society in turmoil. Set within the larger global stories of modernity, nationalism, and Orientalism, this study reflects on different ideas about what it means to create a Kurdish home.Trade Review"...an excellent bridge between the Kurdish past and the current state of social reorganization, taking place amid the impact of modernity, artfully discerned from the songs, laments, and stories sung/narrated by the dengbêj. It captures some crucial historical, social, political, and cultural dynamics that have shaped the collective Kurdish experience."

Brill Perec, Modiano, Raczymow: La génération d’après et la Mémoire de la shoah
Book SynopsisA partir des années ’70, on voit en France une résurgence de la mémoire juive de l’Occupation et de la Shoah, qui va de pair avec une extraordinaire floraison de romans et de récits. Une nouvelle génération d’écrivains prend la parole : c’est la « génération d’après », celle des enfants de survivants et des survivants-enfants. Jusqu’à ce jour, peu de critiques ont été sensibles à la puissante unité qui relie ces œuvres, malgré la diversité des styles employés. Le présent ouvrage se veut une étude d’ensemble de la « littérature de la génération d’après », en passant par une analyse comparative de trois œuvres : celles de Georges Perec, de Patrick Modiano et de Henri Raczymow. Comment parler ? Comment dire une expérience – celle de la Shoah - qu’on n’a pas, ou très peu vécue, et qui n’a été transmise que fort difficilement, comme absence ou comme disparition ? C’est pourtant cette « mémoire absente » qui est au cœur même de ces trois œuvres. Elle s’exprime à travers une poétique proche des recherches formelles d’Oulipo et du Nouveau Roman. Quelles sont les pratiques d’écriture adoptées par chacun des trois auteurs ? Et comment les transforment-ils dans le cours de leur œuvre ?Table of ContentsRemerciements Avant-propos Prologue : Perspectives historiques, psychanalytiques et littéraires Première partie : Témoignage et fiction Chapitre 1 : Un témoin qui n’a rien vu. Georges Perec : Un homme qui dort Chapitre 2 : Le témoignage par le biais de la fiction. Patrick Modiano : Dora Bruder Chapitre 3 : Ni victime ni témoin.

Brill Témoignages de l’après-Auschwitz dans la littérature juive-française d’aujourd’hui: Enfants de survivants et survivants-enfants
Book SynopsisRaczymow, Wajsbrot, Lecadet, Wajcman, Orner, Aaron, Cormann, Modiano… Oler, Cohen, Perec, Federman, Kofman, Burko-Falcman, Meschonnic, Vargaftig, Goscinny… Qu’ont en commun ces deux ensembles d’auteurs juifs-français, qui diffèrent tant par le genre et le style de leurs œuvres ? Les premiers, nés après la Libération, enfants ou petits-enfants des survivants de la Shoah, n’étaient pas là, c’est pourquoi ils ne peuvent témoigner de ce qui pourtant a déterminé tout leur être. Les seconds, nés peu avant ou pendant l’Occupation, appartiennent à la minorité d’enfants qui survécurent miraculeusement aux persécutions, cachés dans des institutions ou chez des familles. Etaient-ils là, eux qui étaient généralement trop jeunes pour vivre consciemment ce qui leur arrivait ? Enfants de survivants ou survivants-enfants, leur expérience commune serait alors d’appartenir à l’après, de témoigner de l’après-Auschwitz, de la difficile transmission et élaboration de la Shoah, dans l’univers d’aujourd’hui. « Témoins absents » ou par procuration, ces auteurs sont à la fois le témoin de leurs aînés et, de plus en plus, témoins d’eux-mêmes, de leur propre expérience de l’après. Par des textes inédits des auteurs en question, des essais théoriques et des études critiques, le présent recueil espère mieux faire connaître la vaste et riche panoplie de leurs œuvres.Table of ContentsIntroduction I.
