Arabic theater in early khedivial culture, 1868-72: James Sanua revisited / Mestyan, Adam   Journal Article
Mestyan, Adam Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article revisits the official culture of the early khedivate through a microhistory of the first modern Egyptian theater in Arabic. Based on archival research, it aims at a recalibration of recent scholarship by showing khedivial culture as a complex framework of competing patriotisms. It analyzes the discourse about theater in the Arabic press, including the journalist Muhammad Unsi's call for performances in Arabic in 1870. It shows that the realization of this idea was the theater group led by James Sanua between 1871 and 1872, which also performed ?Abd al-Fattah al-Misri's tragedy. But the troupe was not an expression of subversive nationalism, as has been claimed by scholars. My historical reconstruction and my analysis of the content of Sanua's comedies show loyalism toward the Khedive Ismail. Yet his form of contemporary satire was incompatible with elite cultural patriotism, which employed historicization as its dominant technique. This revision throws new light on a crucial moment of social change in the history of modern Egypt, when the ruler was expected to preside over the plural cultural bodies of the nation.

Small is beautiful / Schayegh, Cyrus   Journal Article
Schayegh, Cyrus Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract In scholarship on the Middle East, as on other regions of the world, the sort of social history that climaxed from the 1960s through the 1980s, and in Middle East history through the 1990s-that is, studies of categories such as "class" or "peasant"-has been declining for some time. The cultural history that replaced social history has peaked, too. In the 21st century, the trend, set by non-Middle East historians, has been to combine an updated social-historical focus on structure and groups with a cultural-historical focus on meaning making. Defining society against culture and policing their boundaries is out. In is picking a theme-consumption or travel, say-then studying it from distinct yet linked social and cultural or political/economic angles. This trend has spawned new journals like Cultural and Social History, established in 2004, and has been debated in established journals and memoirs by leading historians of the United States and Europe

Social texture of the Baqa well: drawing history from an old well in a Palestinian Arab town in Israel / Peled, Kobi   Journal Article
Peled, Kobi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Water sources have always played a significant role in Palestinian rural life. Springs and wells are frequently depicted in orientalist sources, yet they have barely been studied from the perspective of oral history. This article explores the social texture of an ancient well, located in the Palestinian Arab town of Baqa al-Gharbiyya in Israel, by using fragmented memories of the old women and men who drew water from that well more than half a century ago. This study examines the well as a powerful reservoir of local memories, focusing on the feminine experience that was formed at the well, on its symbolic meaning in the lives of Palestinian women, and on a silent language of implicit expressions that was once used at the well.
