Abstract: Throughout the 20th century contributions of Egyptian writers have
been instrumental in the processes of mapping, or remapping, the world.
Through their writings they have contributed to the production of rural,
urban, and national spaces. This paper scrutinizes the narrated spaces in
'Abd al-Hamid Jawdat al-Sahhar's realist novel In the Caravan of Time. The
study analyses the position of al-Sahhar's work within Egyptian literary
discourse. Drawing on anthropological theories, it shows how the novel's
protagonist experiences the negotiation of spaces and their boundaries
during the transition to modernity. Furthermore the study demonstrates that
this transition takes on the form of an initiation of which the underlying
force is desire. It turns out that desire and its repression are essential
factors which contribute both to the redefinition of the self and the Other
and to the remapping of the world.
