It examines how three versions of Sāq al-bāmbū—the original Arabic novel, the English translation, and an abridged Arabic text designed for Anglophone students of Arabic—become readable in the global literary field through their overlapping iterations of an internationalism that is at once discursive and material. Taking Sāq al-bāmbū as exemplary of a type of Arabic prize novel that has emerged in an era of proliferating Arabic literary prizes, this article argues that the network of readers and reading practices that this text configures around itself on a global level poses a non-Eurocentric alternative to the world literary system as it has been theorized in the Western academy. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2021 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
