تعداد المفاهيم والاستخدام في مصطلح الأصول لدى ابن السراج, Mohammad Abou Alrab Nov 2020

تعداد المفاهيم والاستخدام في مصطلح الأصول لدى ابن السراج, Mohammad Abou Alrab

Al Jinan الجنان

يقف هذا البحث على حقيقة مفهوم مصطلح (الأصول) ودلالته من منظور لساني في كتاب ابن السراج (الأصول في النحو) إذ يوحي عنوانه أنه كتاب في أصول النحو العربي السماع والقياس والإجماع واستصحاب الحال.

وفي سعينا لتجلية حقيقة الأمر حرصنا على تقديم ما يمهد لنا ذلك أولاً، ثم عرفنا الأصل لغة واصطلاحا، وبينا آراء الباحثين قدماء ومحدثين في الكتاب نفسه وموضعه من تلك الأصول النحوية. وبعد ذلك كله، وقراءة الكتاب نفسه من قبل تبين لنا أن ابن السراج قد تحدّث عن السماع والقياس في بداية كتابه بصورة موجزة، وتحدث عن العلة بوصفها ركناً من أركان القياس. والحق أن الأمر لديه لم …

لغتنا الزاخرة ذاخرة, Abdulmoneam Bchennaty

Al Jinan الجنان

أجمع علماء اللغة العربية منذ صدر الإسلام من خلال دراستهم للغة العربية أن ذخائر أمتهم يجب إبرازها بصورة رائعة. وقد نجح علماء أمة اللغة العربية في هذه المهمة الصعبة في المحافظة على الإرث اللغوي العربي. وللمحافظة على ثبات اللغة العربية قام آلاف العلماء اللغويين يجمعونها من مظانها ومواطن نشأتها. ولغتنا الفصحى أسمى اللغات، وأرقاها في الأسلوب، ودقة التعبير أصلها ضارب في عمق فجر الإنسانية، ورثناها كابرا عن كابر.

والزاخر: الشرف العالي.. قال أبو تراب : سمعت مبتكرا يقول:زاخرته فزخرته، وفاخرته ففخرته،... وفخر بماعنده، وزخر : بمعنى واحد. فمادة (زخر)تدل على معان وجيهة حول العلو والإرتفاع والشرف والفخر، ومعنى (لغتنا الزاخرة)الشريفة …

Warfare And Welcome: Practicality And Qur’Ānic Hierarchy In Ibāḍī Muslims’ Jurisprudential Rulings On Music, Bradford J. Garvey Nov 2020

Warfare And Welcome: Practicality And Qur’Ānic Hierarchy In Ibāḍī Muslims’ Jurisprudential Rulings On Music, Bradford J. Garvey

Yale Journal of Music & Religion

While much ink has been spilled by musicologists on the legal standing of music in Islamic jurisprudential scholarship, few scholars have offered as comprehensive a view as Lois Ibsen Al-Faruqi. Thirty-five years after her major works on this issue, this article seeks to reassess her model of musical legitimacy within Muslim scholarship. Al-Faruqi places Qur’ānic recitation at the apex of a unidirectional continuum of sound art, with genres less similar to the recitation of the Qur’ān located progressively further away from it. Based on fieldwork in the Sultanate of Oman in 2015-17 and engaging with recent reinvigorations on the anthropological …

Women In Palestinian Folk Tale, Mohammed Dawabsheh

Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث

Damnatio Memoriae: On Deleting The East From Western History, Koert Debeuf Nov 2020

Damnatio Memoriae: On Deleting The East From Western History, Koert Debeuf

New England Journal of Public Policy

The story we read in books about the Renaissance tells us that Petrarch and Poggio rediscovered the books of antiquity that had been copied for centuries in medieval abbeys. The re-introduction of Greek science and philosophy, however, began in the twelfth century but occurred mainly in the thirteenth century. These works were first translated into Syriac and Arabic in the eighth and ninth centuries and stored in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. There they were read, used, and commented on by Arab philosophers, of whom the most famous was Averroes (1126–1198), who lived in Cordoba. The translation of his …

Critical Terminology in Contemporary Arabic Studies:
Originality and Modernism – Stylistics as an Example
This paper examines critical terminology between tradition and experimentation, and takes up stylistics as an example, in an attempt to locate modernization in this area, comparing it to terminology in the critical heritage. Such terminology in its modern contexts perhaps approximates that in the critical heritage, especially in Arabic semantics which treats language problems in text and its rhetorical implications.

Slavery And The Search For Belonging In Modern Sudan, William Fant Oct 2020

Slavery And The Search For Belonging In Modern Sudan, William Fant

History in the Making

For many Sudanese, the migration of Islamic society into Sudan has produced difficulties in identifying belonging. Centuries in the making, Sudan has become a split nation in which the south has retained much of its African identity, while the north has become increasingly Islamized. While no discernable traits separate the divided portions of Sudan, the division has allowed the dominant north to forcibly gain control of the entire nation. This phenomenon has led to increased discontent among the regions, resulting in civil war and the reintroduction of slavery. Although the physical division in Sudan is as blurred as the ethnic …


Invisible Strangers, Or Romani History Reconsidered, Kristina Richardson Oct 2020

Invisible Strangers, Or Romani History Reconsidered, Kristina Richardson

Publications and Research

This essay proposes that the invisibility of so-called Gypsies in Middle Eastern and Central Asian historiography derives from two linked phenomena. First, the work of nineteenth- and twentieth-century European and North American philologists, medievalists, and ethnographers delegitimized the Strangers’ languages, along with the cultures and histories that these languages expressed. The erasure of Strangers from modern historiography was nearly total. Secondly, the category of Strangers was transformed in the wake of the Holocaust as Roma activists drew on Nazi racial categories to base Roma identity on linguistic criteria.

Rewriting The Oeuvre: Raymond Queneau And The Art Of Translation, Christopher Clarke Sep 2020

Rewriting The Oeuvre: Raymond Queneau And The Art Of Translation, Christopher Clarke

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

While the literary oeuvre of French author Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) has been extensively studied, his work as a literary translator has been largely overlooked. Queneau was a prominent member of the French literary avant-garde, but also a literary translator for two decades (1934-1953), and his writing was greatly influenced and impacted by his readings and translations of Anglophone writers. This dissertation provides insight into the role of translation in his conception of writing and language, and the inseparability of the different facets of his career as a writer, literary translator, and publisher. I examine his personal linguistic and literary history …


Writing The Body As Subversion In Alexandra Chreiteh’S Always Coca-Cola, Luma Balaa Aug 2020

Writing The Body As Subversion In Alexandra Chreiteh’S Always Coca-Cola, Luma Balaa

Journal of International Women's Studies

Women in Always Coca-Cola are oppressed by multiple intersectional forces of oppression, such as patriarchy, the male gaze, colonialism, and the beauty myth. Although some women in the novella are caught in a state in between rebellion and conformism, Always Coca-Cola largely subverts patriarchy. By the end of the novella, the female protagonist is able to break free from some of her chains of oppression. Through a close textual analysis, this paper draws on many theories such as the “male gaze,” Hélène Cixous’s “writing the body,” and Naomi Wolf’s “the beauty myth” to argue that Alexandra Chreiteh’s Always Coca-Cola attempts …

Islam And The Muslims In The Anglo-American Literary Tradition: The Historical Roots And The Reiterations, Marwan Obeidat, Ibrahim Mumayiz

Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

The relationship between Islam and the West was first troubled by biblical texts

pejorative of the Arabs, and the rise of Islam in the seventh century aggravated this

negative view of Arabs and Muslims. Although the brilliant Muslim civilization in Spain

mitigated this negative image, Western fears of Europe’s Latin Christianity being caught

by the pincer of Muslim Spain in the West and Levantine Islam from the East gave rise

to the Crusades that sought to drive a wedge between the two flanks of Islam by seizing

the Holy Land and thereby neutralizing the Islamic threat. The Crusades, virulent

religious …
