The French and British Orientalisms that Said studied in particular were shaped by the French and British colonial projects in Muslim regions; nations that did not have such investments in the Middle East generated significantly different perceptions of Islamic and Arabic culture. European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean examines Orientalist philological scholarship of southern Europe produced between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth century. In Italy, Spain, and Malta, Mallette argues, a regional history of Arab occupation during the Middle Ages gave scholars a focus different from that of their northern European colleagues; in studying the Arab world, they were not so much looking on a distant and radically different history as seeking to reconstruct the past of their own nations. She demonstrates that in specific instances, Orientalists wrote their nations' Arab history as the origin of modern national identity, depicting Islamic thought not as exterior to European modernity but rather as formative of and central to it. Joining comparative insights to the analytic strategies and historical genius of philology, Mallette ranges from the complex manuscript history of the Thousand and One Nights to the invention of the Maltese language and Spanish scholarship on Dante and Islam. Throughout, she reveals the profound influences Arab and Islamic traditions have had on the development of modern European culture. European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean is an engaging study that sheds new light on the history of Orientalism, the future of philology, and the postcolonial Middle Ages.Arabic philologyHistory19th centuryArabic philologyHistory20th centuryIslamic civilizationScheherazade (Legendary character)EuropeCivilizationArab influencesElectronic books.Arabic philologyHistoryArabic philologyHistoryIslamic civilization.Scheherazade (Legendary character)492.709Mallette Karla1045373MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464156703321European modernity and the Arab Mediterranean2481654UNINA05199nam 2201357z- 450 991063778150332120231214133202.03-0365-5714-8(CKB)5470000001631722(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/94534(EXLCZ)99547000000163172220202212d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSecure and Sustainable Energy SystemBaselMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 electronic resource (354 p.)3-0365-5713-X This special issue aims to contribute to the climate actions which called for the need to address Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, keeping global warming to well below 2°C through various means, including accelerating renewables, clean fuels, and clean technologies into the entire energy system. As long as fossil fuels (coal, gas and oil) are still used in the foreseeable future, it is vital to ensure that these fossil fuels are used cleanly through abated technologies. Financing the clean and energy transition technologies is vital to ensure the smooth transition towards net zero emission by 2050 or beyond. The lack of long‐term financing, the low rate of return, the existence of various risks, and the lack of capacity of market players are major challenges to developing sustainable energy systems.This special collected 17 high-quality empirical studies that assess the challenges for developing secure and sustainable energy systems and provide practical policy recommendations.
