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. 410 0$aBrill studies in Middle Eastern literatures ;$vv. 34. 606 $aArabic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHebrew literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNostalgia in literature 607 $aAndalusia (Spain)$xIn literature 615 0$aArabic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHebrew literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNostalgia in literature. 676 $a892.7/09353 676 $a892.70935846809021 700 $aElinson$b Alexander E$01853227 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970046203321 996 $aLooking back at al-Andalus$94449325 997 $aUNINA
