Drawing on lyric theory, comparative poetics, and linguistics, it demonstrates how Arabic literature and Islamic scripture pacifically invade French in the poetry of Habib Tengour (Algeria), Edmond Jabès (Egypt), Salah Stétié (Lebanon), Abdelwahab Meddeb (Tunisia), and Ryoko Sekiguchi (Japan). \u003ci\u003ePacifist Invasions\u003c\/i\u003e deploys side-by-side comparisons of classical Arabic literature, Islamic scripture, and the Arabic commentary traditions in the original language against the landscapes of modern and contemporary French and francophone literature, poetry, and poetics. Detailed close readings reveal three generic modes of translating Arabic poetics into the French lyric, and the mechanisms by which poets foreignize French, as they engage in a translational and intertextual relationship with the history and world of Arabic literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough fine-grained analyses of poetry, translations, commentaries, chapbooks, art books, and essays, \u003ci\u003ePacifist Invasions\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a cross-cultural history and rereading of French and francophone literatures in relation to the transversal translations and transmissions of classical Arabic poetics. It offers a translingual, comparative repositioning of the field of francophone postcolonial studies along a fluid, translational Franco-Arabic axis. The vision of the postfrancophone succeeds the point of exhaustion within the French poetic sociolect, with wide-ranging and surprising implications for the study of French and francophone poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews '\u003ci\u003ePacifist Invasions\u003c\/i\u003e will be of major importance to scholars of postcolonial francophone literature and intervenes in important ways in ongoing debates on world literature.'\u003cbr\u003eOlivia Harrison, University of Southern California\u003cbr\u003e'Elegant, textured, and richly insightful, yasser elhariry’s book nimbly explores Franco-Arab writers who infuse French poetry with Arabic cultural traditions. Helpfully delineating major Arabic forms that go back many centuries, Elhariry examines how contemporary poets intertextually and interlingually intertwine them with French. They remake the landscape of French poetry, unleashing new possibilities by their reverse colonization of French with the idioms, forms, and spirituality of Muslim Arab lands. An important study of a fascinatingly translingual and intercultural body of work.'\u003cbr\u003eJahan Ramazani, editor of\u003ci\u003eThe Cambridge Companion to Postcolonial Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eNote on Translations\u003cbr\u003ePreface \/\/ Ends of French\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \/\/ Word Over Word\u003cbr\u003ePart One \/\/ Odists\u003cbr\u003e 1 Translating Translating Tengour\u003cbr\u003e 2 Sky-Birds \u0026amp; Dead Trees: On Two Images in Edmond Jabès\u003cbr\u003ePart Two \/\/ Sufis\u003cbr\u003e 3 Wine Song: Salah Stétié \u0026amp; ʿOmar ibn al-Fārid\u003cbr\u003e 4 Sufis in Mecca: Abdelwahab Meddeb, Ibn ʿArabī, \u0026amp; the New Lyric\u003cbr\u003ePart Three \/\/ Andalusians\u003cbr\u003e 5 Heliotropic Exit: Ryoko Sekiguchi’s \u003ci\u003eMuwashshah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion \/\/ Postfrancophone\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50470014189911,"sku":"9781786940407","price":109.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786940407.jpg?v=1744897103","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pacifist-invasions-arabic-translation-the-postfrancophone-lyric-9781786940407","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
