Mint copy. - "This study examines the revival of Sufism in the Arabic and Turkish novel during the second half of the 20th century. A picture is drawn where Sufism forms a main source of literary inspiration and becomes a mode to establish continuity with the past. Sufism is in this context not solely a passively transmitted cultural artifact; it quite the contrary becomes a major instrument to construct identity and meaning to a post-industrial society. In this respect, the act of writing becomes prayer of a sort; storytelling enables the Self to rest from the dreary political realities of authoritarian modernist ideologies. Thus, writing, in contrast to reason-driven, materialist, modernity becomes meaningful and enables the Self to connect with something beyond immanent reality; in one word, writing becomes re-enchantment." - Content: Acknowledgements - Notes on Translation and Transliteration - Introduction - The Return of Storytelling: The Postmodern Quest for Mysticism - "The Disenchantment of the World": Western Critics of Modernity, the Concept of - Multiple Modernities and the Urge towards the Mystical - The Mystical Turn as Process of Self-examination: Sufism in Relation to Modernity - and Cultural Heritage - Current State of Research - Works of Reference: Studies on Arabic and Turkish Postmodern Literature - Publications on Nationalist Historiography and Non-European Modernities - Goknar's and Elmarsafy's Notions of Secular Sufism - Contributions and Significance of this Study in Relation to Previous Research - Rural Mysticism versus Urban Modernity: "An Elegy of the Old World and an - Expression of a New World Being Born" - Transformation of Rural Space under the Banner of Modernity: Urbanization and - Agrarian Reforms in the Arab World and Turkey in the s and s - The Marriage of Sense and Soul: al-Tayyib Salih's "Dumat Wad Hamid" ("The - Doum Tree of Wad Hamid," ) and Urs al-Zayn (The Wedding ofZein, ) - Setting the Stage: "Dumat Wad Hamid" ("The Doum Tree of Wad Hamid," ) - Sufi Folk Saints, Imams, Outlaws and Educated Village Women: Archetypes and - Mythical Figures in Urs al-Zayn - When the Village Fool Became a Dervish: The Mystical Transformation of Zayn - The Wedding as Mystical Celebration of Mahabba and Community - The Future Whispers through the Anatolian Snowstorm: Yasar Kemal's Yer Demir - Gok Bakir (Iron Earth, Copper Sky, ) - Sociopolitical Context and Elements of Realism - The Mystical Opening and the Process of Sanctification of the Figure Ta§ba§ - The Inner Conversion of Ta§ba§: From Sober Skeptic to Contemplating Mystic - The Snowstorm and the Mysterious Disappearance of Tasba - Farewell You Worshippers of the Beloved: 'Abd al-Haklm Qasim's Ayyam al-Insan - al-Sab'a (The Seven Days of Man) - The Village: 'Abd al as an Adolescent and the Sufi Gatherings - Abd al-AzTz in Tanta: Fascination for the Urban and Dissociation from the Past - Abd al-Aziz's Return to the Village: The Transformation of Rural Space - The Comparative Perspective: The Role of a Rural Sufi Saint in Times of Change - Sufism and Commitment: "My Sufism Is that I Care about Human Concerns - and Social Issues" - Iltizam and Toplumcu Gerqekqilik' The Adoption of Jean-Paul Sartre's Concept of - Litterature Engagee in the Postcolonial Arab Context and in the Turkish Republic - The Beggar for Meaning: Naglb Mahfuz's al-Shahhadh (The Beggar) - The Beggar for Meaning - Disenchantment of Revolution - Escapism: Sexual Pleasure and Mystical Ecstasy - Beyond Escapism: Convergence of Sufism and Commitment Ill - Einstein Encounters Mevlana: Oguz Atay's Bir Bilim Adaminin Romani: Mustafa - Inan (The Life ofa Scientist: Mustafa Inan) - The Turkish Bildungsroman - Mustafa Inan: A Modern Scientist on the Mystical Path - The Spiritual Quest Meets Social Commitment: Mustafa Inan's Concept of - Kamil Bir Insan / Insan-i Kamil - Neither Spiritual Dandy nor Cold Scientist: Mustafa Inan as a Counter-Image - to the "Beautiful Soul" - Wine, Women and Sufism: Aziz al-Sayyid Jasim's al-Zahr al-Shaqi (The Suffering - Primrose) - Paradise Lost: Fading Idealism and the Triviality of Day-to-Day Life - Self-Realization between Mysticism and Political Commitment - From Mystic to Militant - The Comparative Perspective: Commitment as Exterior Manifestation of the - Mystical Path - Sufism and Memory: Challenging Dogmatic, Nationalist Historiography and - Using Sufism to Tell another Story - "Writing the Nation": Nationalist Historiography in Algeria, Egypt and Turkey - The Sufi Wayfarer Travels Egyptian Memory: Gamal al-Ghltani's Kitab - al-Tajalliyat (The Book ofRevelations, ) - 'Dichtung und Wahrheit': Autobiography as Intersection between Divine - Revelation and Human Reality - Nasser Spoke with My Father's Voice - Revelations as Imagination of Another Destiny - The Endless Journey towards God - The Sufi Detective and His Lost Beloved: Orhan Pamuk's Kara Kitap - (The Black Book, ) - Mimicry?
