The Bend in Arabic: Metaphors to Lean By in the Poetry of Jamil Buthaynah

April 29, 2024 Deviation, defect, and libidinal inclination are seldom conceived in morally neutral terms. Most Arabic expressions for these depend on some verb of bending or leaning—postures that are undefinable without reference to straightness and uprightness. The feminist critique of rectitude in Adriana Cavarero's Inclinations (2014) cannot fail to resonate with devotees of Arabic language science, and in this talk it is applied to the poetry of Jamil ibn Ma‘mar al-‘Udhri, better known as Jamil Buthaynah, the first great love poet of the Arabs. Speaker David Larsen, Senior Research Fellow, Library of Arabic Literature Moderated by Chip Rossetti, Editorial Director, Library of Arabic Literature See our upcoming events: https://www.hrf-arabworld.org/events *********************** About the Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World: The Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World is a program that aims to build a platform of outstanding research relevant for the study of the Arab World from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds.
