[171]-180) and index.The poetics of loss and nostalgia in Muslim Spain -- Written in stone : the Andalusi ritha al-mudun in the Arabic elegiac tradition -- Weeping over the poetic past : poetry into prose in al-Saraqusti's Qayrawan maqama -- Al-Andalus and Sefarad in the Hebrew qasida -- The view from al-Andalus : looking east, west, and south for Andalusi identity -- A final look back -- Appendix: Select Arabic and Hebrew texts.Looking Back at al-Andalus focuses on Arabic and Hebrew Literature that expresses the loss of al-Andalus from multiple vantage points. In doing so, this book examines the definition of al-Andalus’ literary borders, the reconstruction of which navigates between traditional generic formulations and actual political, military and cultural challenges. By looking at a variety of genres, the book shows that literature aiming to recall and define al-Andalus expresses a series of symbolic literary objects more than a geographic and political entity fixed in a single time and place. Looking Back at al-Andalus offers a unique examination into the role of memory, language, and subjectivity in presenting a series of interpretations of what al-Andalus represented to different writers at different historical-cultural moments.Brill studies in Middle Eastern literatures ;v. 34.Arabic literatureHistory and criticismHebrew literatureHistory and criticismNostalgia in literatureAndalusia (Spain)In literatureArabic literatureHistory and criticism.Hebrew literatureHistory and criticism.Nostalgia in literature.892.7/09353892.70935846809021Elinson Alexander E1853227MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970046203321Looking back at al-Andalus4449325UNINA
