Title : Literary satire/research into forms and boundaries
Artistic production is not exempt from competition. Arts compete with each other to attract more spectators and audiences. Cynicism generates controversy in the Arab-Islamic culture and in the rest of the world as it plays a role in scandalizing oppression. It commonly employs caricature to convey messages in a comic style that appeals to people. Parody which uses exaggerated imitation of characters to effectively persuade onlookers from all walks of life to adopt an attitude or hold another.

Title : The problematic of the implementing methodology in contemporary Arab criticism
Methodology was originally devised to evaluate and study literary work, it is indeed a tool which the critic approaches the literary text.

Consequently, the text is merely a means to apply methodology and not the opposite.Arab critics were entitled to search for methods to analyze and evaluate their artistic productions but it was in vain. Therefore; they adopted western critical methodology that ultimate fails to capture the beauty and creativity of the Arab creative …

A Papyrus Fragment Related To Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih’S Al-ʿIqd Al-Farīd*, Mark Muehlhaeusler
Faculty Journal Articles
This article presents an edition and a translation of a papyrus fragment from the Beinecke Library at Yale (P.CtYBR inv. 2598), together with a brief commentary. This literary fragment, containing two verses of poetry, is interesting because it provides an oriental source for a text until then known only through the famous Andalusian work of Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih, al-ʿIqd al-farīd; it also serves as an example of an informal mode of written transmission of Arabic poetry.

Honors Program Theses
Historically, various systems and institutions across diverse civilizations have been established to meet the many needs that interweave the fabric of society. One, and perhaps the most significant of these institutions is the waqf/hubus system. Characterized by the designation of a property or revenue stream as mortmain and the investment of the usufruct for the benefit of (often predetermined) beneficiaries, this form of charitable endowment is hailed as a cornerstone of Islamic civilization. The objectives of this paper are threefold. Primarily, it examines the historical role of awqāf, with focus on their social and economic significance in two distinct Islamic …

Toward An Arabic Modernism: Politics, Poetics, And The Postcolonial, Alaa Taha
Toward An Arabic Modernism: Politics, Poetics, And The Postcolonial, Alaa Taha
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
This thesis explores modernism's temporality and location through the examination of Arabic modernism's occurrence. In this thesis, I question whether the authenticity of modernism derives from its temporality period or its literary content while concurrently investigating several poems by Lebanese authors Kahlil Gibran and Nadia Tuéni and Syrian poet Adonis. Additionally, I trace Arabic modernism's influence to the early 1900s-1910s to the conception of the Mahjar movement and the Pen League, an Arabic literary society consisting of Arabic immigrant writers. As I discern the political impact within Arabic writings, I explore political events, such as World War I and its …
Legal Translation In A Political Context: The Trick Of Choosing Between Alternatives In Translating Electoral Terms, Zakia Deeb
Abdou Filali-Ansary Occasional Paper Series
Legal electoral terminology is a specialist subject within the broader legal language discourse. When translating into Arabic, even basic electoral terms can be translated differently in different Arab countries for various reasons due to different sources of inspiration. Most legal electoral terms have a variety of alternative equivalents within the relevant linguistic field or semi-legal domain. This paper discusses such alternatives while presenting problems related to the existing resources in the field. Data collected from the 2012 election of members of the Libyan General National Congress are analysed to test the consistency in selecting from these alternatives. Furthermore, material presented …
Arab Media's Representation Of Arab-Israeli Normalization Agreements, Rylan L. Forester
Arab Media's Representation Of Arab-Israeli Normalization Agreements, Rylan L. Forester
Honors Theses
When, on August 13, 2020, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced it was normalizing relations with the state of Israel, few could have predicted the effects it would have. However, since the Emirati decision, three other Arab countries - Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco - have reached agreements with Tel Aviv to normalize relations. Such events are a sharp divergence from the status quo and thus, this thesis examines, through the application of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and analyzed through a constructivist framework, how three Arab media sources - Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, and Al-Mayadeen - discuss and represent these normalization agreements. By …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Built after several immigration waves, Amman developed its own dialect. Previous studies investigated the stylistic and social reallocation process (Britain & Trudgill, 2005) that happened to some major phonemes. The three phonemes [k], [ʔ] and [g] are dialectal reflexes of the Arabic modern standard uvular phoneme [q], and they correlate with social aspects like gender, identity and social class. This study has two parts the first investigates the distribution of the phonemes of the first generation of rural Palestinians hypothesizing that they will follow the generalizations found in Al-Wer (2011).

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 …

Women In Palestinian Folk Tale, Mohammed Dawabsheh
Women In Palestinian Folk Tale, Mohammed Dawabsheh
Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث
This paper examines the wemen are portrayed in the Palestinian folktales. Of special interest are the so-cial spiritual, psychological and sexual portrayal of women in the roles they assume: mother, sister, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law and fellow wife. It also investigates both the negative and positive mythical depictions of women in Palestinian folk tales. Later, the paper draws a comparison between this portrayal and the way women are featured in modern social and psychological science. Inspired by the relevant approaches, particularly the mythical ap-proach, the paper used the descriptive analytical approach.
