Course description
In this course we will discuss issues of intercultural contacts of Arabic fiction with other literatures, cultures and languages. The discussion focused on issues including: the impact of translation on the development of new literary models, interference of a foreign language and the question of linguistic and cultural identity, and intertextual relations with Holy Scripture and worldwide masterpieces and their contribution to the Arab texts. The discussion on these issues will be accompanied by reading theoretical and critical materials that discuss these phenomena. Arabic fictional works with these phenomena will be also analyzed in order to emphasize the contribution of intercultural contacts to the enrichment, diversity and uniqueness of these works.
