Abstract:

Tuqus al-Isharat wa-l-Tahawwulat, one of the last major plays by the Syrian Sa'dallah Wannus, published in 1994, is one of the most innovative plays from the Arab world in the twentieth century. Based on a historical incident, it dramatizes the story of the fall of the Naqib of Damascus when he is arrested with his mistress Warda. The Naqib's enemy, the Mufti, saves him from disgrace by substituting the Naqib's wife, Mu'mina, for Warda, although Mu'mina leaves the Naqib and becomes a notorious prostitute. The play also overtly treats male homosexuality. Previous analyses of Wannus's plays have focused on the influence of Brecht and the Thousand and One Nights, and criticism of this play's feminist theme. This article argues that much of the play's novelty and aesthetic power derive from aspects of Shakespeare, principally Measure for Measure, and from motifs, lexicon and ritual theatricality derived from Sufism as aesthetic form and religious practice.

Abstract:

Female participation in the Syrian blogosphere grew exponentially between 2004 and 2011. Secular activists (such as Dania, blogger of My Chaos) and religious ones (such as the author of Damascus Dreams) raised awareness of their beliefs and struggles. Whether looking for a space in which to freely preach their faith or seeking a tool to spread their modernizing secular feminist ideals, Syrian women showed equal determination to advocate for women’s agency. In this chapter, Michela Cerruti analyzes the life story narrated by the blogger “50% Syrian,” who is based in Damascus, in pre–Arab Spring Syria. She examines her use of the virtual public space to promote her Sufi tradition and support for gender equality.
