Zur Genese moderner Prosa in Ägypten (1860 bis 1908)
By (author) Nadia Al-Bagdadi
This socio-literary study examines the relationship between processes of modernisation and reform, and new literary genres produced in Egypt of the second half of the 19th century. How did heterogenous modern literary forms emerge in this particular environment, and what were the underlying motivations of the new authors? Literature is regarded here as a specific sphere of knowledge and representation, facilitating in its modes of reflection novel individual and societal patterns of experience. If urbanity played a special role as constitutive element of narrative prose, ideas about new forms of public sphere and public opinion also played their role. The new means of text production, finally, attested to the recession of the auratic perception of a text.<br/>
English summary: This socio-literary study examines the relationship between processes of modernisation and reform, and new literary genres produced in Egypt of the second half of the 19th century. How did heterogenous modern literary forms emerge in this particular environment, and what were the underlying motivations of the new authors? Literature is regarded here as a specific sphere of knowledge and representation, facilitating in its modes of reflection novel individual and societal patterns of experience. If urbanity played a special role as constitutive element of narrative prose, ideas about new forms of public sphere and public opinion also played their role. The new means of text production, finally, attested to the recession of the auratic perception of a text. German description: Diese literatursoziologische Studie geht dem Verhaltnis von Modernisierungs- und Reformprozessen und neuen literarischen Genres im Agypten der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts nach. Wie sind die heterogenen modernen Literaturformen in diesem Umfeld entstanden und welche Motivationen der Autoren standen im einzelnen dahinter? Literatur wird hier als besondere Sphare des Wissens und der Reprasentation sowie der Verarbeitung und Reflexion individueller und gesellschaftlicher Erfahrung betrachtet. Eine besondere Rolle spielte die Urbanitat als konstitutives Element narrativer zeitgenossischer Prosa, wichtig war aber auch die Idee einer neuen Form der Offentlichkeit und der offentlichen Sphare in und durch die Literatur sowie der durch die Reproduktionstechnik bedingte Verlust der Aura des Textes.
