SUMMARY:Radical Foundations! Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi
DESCRIPTION:RADICAL FOUNDATIONS \nThis masterclass on Egyptian writer and feminism Nawal el Saadawi’s groundbreaking book Woman at Point Zero is organized in collaboration with the Adabiyat Book Club. \nClick here to get a copy of your book!\n*Sign up and we’ll send you a discount code to get 35% off* \nPublished by Zed Books/Bloomsbury. \nAbout the novel\nOriginally published in Arabic in 1975\, el Saadawi’s book was plagued with controversy from the very beginning. The writer’s expressly feminist activism have consistently undergirded her and even landed her in black lists and even in jail. She founded the Arab Women’s Solidarity Association (AWSA). Woman at Point Zero was rejected by Egyptian publishers and eventually published in Lebanon. The novel is criticized for its lack of literary merit and often accused of promoting Western bias against Arab society and Islam. In spite of many conflicting interpretations or perhaps due to them\, Woman at Point Zero remains an extraordinary\, foundational and influential text of women’s literature\, Arabic literature\, African literature and the canon of world literature. \nProfessor Samah Selim will convene this seminar. We expect attendees to have bought and read the book\, and be willing to engage in the online discussion. We will meet for 3 hours with breaks in between. \nAbout the instructor\nSamah Selim is an Egyptian scholar and translator of Arabic literature. She studied English literature at Barnard College\, and obtained her PhD from Columbia University in 1997. Her most recent book\, Popular Fiction\, Translation and the Nadha in Egypt (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2019) looks at the cultural and literary politics surrounding the translation of the novel into Arabic at the beginning of the twentieth century. She is currently working on a literary biography of the Lebanese novelist and journalist Niqula al-Haddad. She is the recipient of the Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation (2009)\, the University of Arkansas Translation of Arabic Literature Award (2012) and the National Endowment for the Arts Translation Grant (2018). She is currently working on an English translation of Jordanian author Ghalib Halasa’s 1987 novel Sultana. \nAbout Adabiyat\nAdabiyat is a virtual book club dedicated to exploring the Arab world’s history\, politics\, and culture through literature. Each month\, the group reads a translated fiction book from the region\, with an emphasis on diversifying countries and topics. Follow them on Twitter and Instagram
