The dominant account of Alexandrian cosmopolitanism elevates things European in the city?s culture and simultaneously places things Egyptian under the sign of decline. The book goes beyond this civilization/barbarism binary to trace other modes of intercultural solidarity.Halim presents a comparative study of literary representations, addressing poetry, fiction, guidebooks, and operettas, among other genres. She reappraises three writers?C. P. Cavafy, E. M. Forster, and Lawrence Durrell?who she maintains have been cast as the canon of Alexandria. Attending to issues of genre, gender, ethnicity, and class, she refutes the view that these writers? representations are largely congruent and uncovers a variety of positions ranging from Orientalist to anticolonial. The book then turns to Bernard de Zogheb, a virtually unpublished writer, and elicits his camp parodies of elite Levantine mores in operettas, one of which centers on Cavafy. Drawing on Arabic critical and historical texts, as well as contemporary writers? and filmmakers? engagement with the canonical triumvirate, Halim orchestrates an Egyptian dialogue with theEuropean representations. 606 $aCosmopolitanism in literature 606 $aEuropean literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aAlexandria (Egypt)$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmopolitanism in literature. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.93358621 700 $aHalim$b Hala$01053980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452496703321 996 $aAlexandrian cosmopolitanism$92486258 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03763nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910460036803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8014-6225-8 010 $a0-8014-6054-9 024 7 $a10.7591/9780801460548 035 $a(CKB)2670000000079052 035 $a(OCoLC)726824245 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10457604 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000486223 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11291733 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000486223 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10430497 035 $a(PQKB)10164278 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3137983 035 $a(DE-B1597)480098 035 $a(OCoLC)979970001 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780801460548 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3137983 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10457604 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL681698 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000079052 100 $a20061027d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe occult mind$b[electronic resource] $emagic in theory and practice /$fChristopher I.

By encountering magical thought as theory, we come to a new understanding of a thought that looks back at us from a funhouse mirror."-from The Occult Mind Divination, like many critical modes, involves reading signs, and magic, more generally, can be seen as a kind of criticism that takes the universe-seen and unseen, known and unknowable-as its text. In The Occult Mind, Christopher I. Lehrich explores the history of magic in Western thought, suggesting a bold new understanding of the claims made about the power of various belief systems.In closely interlinked essays on such disparate topics as ley lines, the Tarot, the Corpus Hermeticum, writing and ritual in magical practice, and early attempts to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics, Lehrich treats magic and its parts as an intellectual object that requires interpretive zeal on the part of readers/observers. Drawing illuminating parallels between the practice of magic and more recent interpretive systems-structuralism, deconstruction, semiotics-Lehrich deftly suggests that the specter of magic haunts all such attempts to grasp the character of knowledge. Offering a radical new approach to the nature and value of occult thought, Lehrich's brilliantly conceived and executed book posits magic as a mode of theory that is intrinsically subversive of normative conceptions of reason and truth. In elucidating the deep parallels between occult thought and academic discourse, Lehrich demonstrates that sixteenth-century occult philosophy often touched on issues that have become central to philosophical discourse only in the past fifty years. 606 $aMagic 606 $aOccultism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMagic. 615 0$aOccultism. 676 $a133.4/3 700 $aLehrich$b Christopher I$0896050 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460036803321 996 $aThe occult mind$92449186 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03843nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910778840703321 005 20230421041143.0 010 $a1-4175-2067-1 035 $a(CKB)111035898506278 035 $a(EBL)3116901 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000197046 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11179060 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000197046 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10154112 035 $a(PQKB)10426328 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3116901 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3116901 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10057984 035 $a(OCoLC)922966899 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111035898506278 100 $a19940808d1995 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aManaging negative people$b[electronic resource] $estrategies for success /$fS.
