Arabic Literature and Culture on MLA Commons 12 years, 4 months agoHello everyone,
I am also glad that the MLA is reconfiguring its divisions and area studies, but I have misgivings about the new proposed groupings. First, I don’t see in what way the new structure is not euro-centric. If you look at the Western lit. groups, they have multiple subgroups and in many ways they retain their old structure and number…[Read more]

Arabic Literature and Culture on MLA Commons 12 years, 4 months agoI agree and disagree: The MLA has been on a years’ long campaign to atomize it’s whiteness, with the election of underrepresented ethnicities and disciplines to governing bodies — both Shaden and I have been elected to the DA. I was elected to the EC and will serve until 2016. With that seat at the table, I have proposed internationalizing our d…[Read more]

Stephen Sheehi replied to the topic MLA Group Structure: Membership Feedback Sought in the forum
Arabic Literature and Culture on MLA Commons 12 years, 4 months agoI certainly appreciate the efforts of the MLA to open spaces of representation for fields and sub-fields that are often immersed in larger configurations. Indeed, classical Arabic, in the context of the MLA, is submerged within Arabic, which tends to be modern.
The problem with parsing two different groups is that, at this point, Arabic studies…[Read more]
