AL-ADAB #3-4/99: DIALOGUES

GEORGES TARABISHI contributes the editorial for this issue with an essay
critiquing the recent files in Al-Adab on "A Critique of Modernism" and
"A Critique of Arab Modernism."

Featured in this issue are 3 extensive dialogues:

1) with Egyptian political expert SAYYID YASIN on "Intellectual Identity
in an era of Cultural Siege and Globalization."

2) with Syrian Marxist-nationalist philosopher TAYYIB TIZINI, "Towards a
Counter-Globalization."

3) with Lebanese novelist RASHID AL-DA'IF on "Fear, Confession, and the
Collapse of Politics."

Also, 3 critical essays:

1) `Abd al-Razzaq `Id of Syria analyzes the career of the recently deceased
HADI AL-`ALAWI, the Iraqi exile whose eclectic life brought
meaning to a mixture of faith, struggle, and multi-denominational
morality.

2) Sa`id `Allouche, the monumental Moroccan literary critic, challenges
Mohammad Miftah and `Abdallah al-Ghadhami's understanding of two newly
emerging concepts in Arab literary criticism: al-`Ama' (chaos) and
al-Tashwish (distortion).

3) Fateh `Abd al-Salam, from Iraq, proposes some foundations for ARAB
CREATIVITY on the brink of the millenium.
