“Placing Literature in Jordan: A Dialogue on Narrative, Representation, and Space”
This session aims to open a discussion regarding the interplay between literature, language, and place. At the crux of this session is a contention: that language and literature are not mere reflections of reality. Rather literature—as a medium—enacts social, material, and cultural effects, both shaping and being shaped by the locales and contexts in which it emerges and circulates. Literature, moreover, is not a static object but rather morphs as it moves between languages and landscapes. Thus, this session asks: What might we learn by tracing literature’s displacements and translations between varied geographies? How might this avenue of inquiry both illuminate and destabilize our taken-for-granted questions regarding cultural production and circulation in Jordan?
Speaker
Fernanda Fischione is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie research fellow carrying out TRANSECT, a project on the transnational circulation of Maghrebi national imaginaries through literature. She holds a Ph.D. from Sapienza University in Rome. Her area of expertise is modern and contemporary Arabic literature, with a special focus on space in literary criticism, namely Ghalib Halasa’s (1932-1989) treatment of narrative space. Alongside her academic activities, she is a literary translator from Arabic into Italian as well as the founder and editor of the magazine Arabpop: Rivista di arti e letterature contemporanee.

Cos’è l’Oriente e dove inizia? Nel confronto con il proprio Est, spesso immaginato e non di rado esotizzato, la cultura europea e quella italiana sono andate costruendosi nel tempo. A partire dalle coordinate del proprio Est, esse si sono progressivamente orientate e ri-orientate. Attraverso un dialogo a cavallo tra culture, arti e linguaggi, due giovani ricercatrici ci accompagnano in un viaggio tra i tanti Orienti d’Europa, da quello più settentrionale (slavo e balcanico) a quello più meridionale (mediorientale e arabo), da quello derivato da categorie culturali a quello determinato dalle congiunture politiche.
