Presentation of the Association:
EMTAr is a free association of scholars working and teaching at European
Universities in the field of modern Arabic literature. EMTAr intends to
promote discussions and exchange about research and teaching of modern
Arabic literature.
It was founded in April 1992, at the first EMTAr colloque held in Nijmegen
(the Netherlands), on the theme of love and sexuality. Proceedings: R.Allen,
H.Kilpatrick, E.de Moor (ed.s), Love and Sexuality in Modern Arabic
Literature, London, Saqi Books, 1995.
The second EMTAr colloque was held in Oxford (U. K.) in 1995, treating
different aspects of autobiographical writing. Proceedings: R.Ostle, E.de
Moor, S.Wild (ed.s), Writing the Self. Autobiographical Writing in Modern
Arabic Literature, London, Saqi Books, 1998.
The third one was held in Paris (France) in 1997, on the theme of the
poetics of the space in modern Arabic literature. The proceedings will be
edited in 1999, by B.Hallaq and R.Ostle ( ed.s).
A permanent Committee, composed by S. Wild (University of Bonn), E. de Moor
(University of Nijmegen), R. Ostle (University of Oxford), Rosella Dorigo
