Adonis på svenska - en översättningskritik
- 2013

Ingår i: Orientalia Suecana. - 0078-6578. ; LXI (2012):Supplement, s. 153-172

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is a case study of how the Arab poet Adonis has been translated into Swedish. The theoretical framework is the old issue of "untranslatability". the method applied is a close reading of selected poems by Adonis in their published Swedish translations. what kind of translation losses have occured in the transposition of the complex originals? The study examines this question through four critical focuses: 1) grammar and semantics, 2) intertextuality and culture, 3) poetic form, and 4) editing and selection. The analysis shows that "Adonis in Swedish" is a very different poet from "Adonis in Arabic" due to the combined effect of manipulations occuring in all these fields.

At forlade sekten. Afhoppernes bekendelser
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Passage. - 0901-8883. ; :62, s. 37-49
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the prize-winning novel Azazil (2008) by Yusuf Zaydan, a Christian monk tells the dramatic story of his life, which is also the dramatic story of early Christianity in the Middle East. The novel problematizes the role of religion in politics and the individual's responsibility for violence directed against "non-believers". The same issues are also addressed in he true life story of the former Egyptian, Islamist activist Khaled al-Berry, "Life is more beautiful than Paradise" (2001). Both books show defection as a proper solution when religious movements turn authoritarian and sully both individual freedom and moral principles.

Det oemotståndliga Kairo - ung litteratur i en historisk stad
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Karavan. - 1404-3874. ; 13:4, s. 7 - 13

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I Egypten står "nittiotalsgenerationen" för en ny litteratur, mindre ideologisk och mer experimentell än den föregående generationen. Författarna är unga, flertalet är kairobaserade och många av dem är kvinnor. Miral al-Tahawi och May Telmissani skriver båda om unga kvinnor som på olika sätt känner sig fångade i hämmande kvinnoroller, och de söker efter en identitet som kan göra dem fria. Staden, platsen, har en grundläggande betydelse i deras romaner. Hos Ahmad al-Aidi, som nyligen gjort succé med en dråplig kortroman, är det Kairo i början av det tjugoförsta århundradet som spelar huvudrollen.

Feathers from Heaven: or what the paprika plant said to the hero
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Middle Eastern Literatures. - 1475-262X. ; 9:2, s. 179-188
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses some aspects of the 'problem of identity' explored in the novel al-Rish (1990) by the Syrian-born Kurdish writer Salim Barakat (b. 1951), against the background of the typology of history suggested in Bernard Lewis's "History: remembered, recovered, invented" (1975). As a member of a minority community denied their full cultural and political rights, Barakat is arguably particularly sensitive both to the constructed nature of history and identity, and to how the process of remembering, discovering/recovering and inventing works. The article presents a detailed analysis of al-Rish, concluding that the 'problem of identity' is never solved in the work: rather, the novel presents us with an array of partly conflicting, partly complementary identities, while the characters remain caught in a quest for a stable identity that disintegrates like a mirage as they approach it.

In the Presence of Absence: Mahmoud Darwish's Testament
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies. - 0806-198X. ; 8:2008, s. 11-25
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish is well known for his intertextual playfulness and inventiveness, and indeed, in one of his last books, Fi Hadrat al-ghiyab (In the Presence of Absence, 2006) he alludes to classical Arabic poetry, the Quran and his own previous oeuvre. Drawing on a celebrated qasida by the Umayyad poet Malik Ibn al-Rayb as his model, Darwish composed this work as a funeral speech for himself. Essentially, it is an oration in prose, but snatches of poetry also appear in a stylistic pattern where rhetorical figures abound. Speaking from the barzakh between life and death, the poet reflects on his wordly existence from cradle to grave. Published less than two years before Darwish death in August 2008, the text has the double character of prediction and testament. The thesis of this article is that the death of the author adds meaning to it not by his absence, but paradoxically, by his increased presence as an unavoidable point of reference and source of identification for the reader.
