Abstract:
As of late August 2018, a total of 58,600 Syrian refugees have arrived in Canada (Government of Canada, 2019). The Syrian Diaspora today is a complex topic that speaks to issues of dislocation, displacement, loss, exile, identity, a desire for belonging, and resilience. The aim of this paper is to offer a better understanding of the Syrian peoples who have become, within the past four years, part of our Canadian citizenry, local communities, and members of our schools and workforce. By engaging the voices of Syrians through their literary works, this essay seeks to challenge some of the ontological and epistemological underpinnings that have historically defined Syrians and to offer alternate ways in which we may better know and understand what it means to be Syrian today. Historically Syrians have written and spoken about exile in their literature, long before the the Syrian war began in March of 2011. To deliver a sense of Syrian identities, a selected number of pre-Syrian-war writers and poets are engaged in this essay, including Nizar Kabbani, Muhammad al-Maghut, Zakaria Tamer, Mamduh Adwan, Adonis and Nasib Arida; furthermore, to capture a glimpse of a post-war sentiment, the voice of Syrian novelist Najat Abdul Samad, whose work was written from within the national borders of a war-torn Syria, is brought into the discussion.

Abstract:
This article demonstrates how the self—reference to personal stories—infiltrates some, if not most, of the poems by two renowned modernist poets and literary critics: the American/Englishman T. S. Eliot and the Syrian/Lebanese ʿAlī Aḥmad Saʿīd, popularly known as Adūnīs or Adonis. The article compares the two poets’ depictions of the personal and the impersonal in poetry, and it reaffirms the great influence that Eliot’s poetry has on Adūnīs and other Arab modernist poets. While Eliot’s criticism discourages any biographical reading of his poetry, Adūnīs holds a different view by openly acknowledging the inclusion or existence of the personal in his poetry. Adūnīs’ poetry, in particular, stresses the link between texts and historical figures in the realm of literature.

Abstract:
Modern poetry has paid attention to artistic symbols, due to the moral hoarding that these symbols carry, which in a brief phrase can refer to a long story or event that the text is not likely to include in its entirety. The symbol fulfills this function, which summarizes the pronunciation and satisfies the meaning. The study dealt with modern Syrian poetry in the first half of the twentieth century until before the free poetry and afterwards, and it was examined by poets such as Omar Abu Risha, Khalil Mardam, Muhammad al-Bazm, Omar Abu Qus and others. The research revealed the Qur’anic symbols that these poets used artistically, taking advantage of the semantic loads that refer to them. Prior to that, the research had drawn attention to the necessity of separating the Qur’anic symbols from the mythical symbols that tend to fiction rather than reality. Some researchers used to say that there are legends in the Qur’an and described some of its stories as myths, so it was necessary to point out the danger of this link that contradicts Islam and the Qur’an, which falsehood cannot approach it from before it or from behind it.

Abstract:
This essay explores the impact of the Shirazi poets Saʿdi and Hafiz on the famous Baroque traveler, Pietro della Valle. Hitherto unexplained features of the magnificent funeral he designed for his Syrian Christian wife, Sitti Maʿani Gioerida, in Rome (1627) can be related to the poets’ tombs he had seen in Shiraz immediately following her untimely demise. In Safavid Iran, Della Valle was impressed by the production of commemorative poetry as well as by the virtuosic calligraphy that functioned as both word and image. He approved of the funerary complexes that created a community of poets both living and dead. The Roman funeral of 1627 not only displayed Della Valle’s literary erudition, it also emulated social, poetic, and artistic elements of the tomb shrines he had seen on his travels.

Abstract:
AbstractThe transformation of Noah into a Christian ideal in the writings of Aphrahat and Ephrem (4th century), with the resulting denigration of Noah in much rabbinic exegesis, is well documented. The purpose of this essay is to examine the characterization of Noah in the liturgical (as opposed to the scholarly) setting. Four groups of works are examined: the Hebrew Avodah poems and the hymns of Ephrem the Syrian (4th century); and the kontakia of Romanos the Melodist and the liturgical poems of the Jewish poet Yannai (6th century). These sources reveal that the individual poets felt great freedom to shape the character of Noah in distinctive ways, engaging with the various traditions of interpretation evident in the prose sources but using them in individualized ways. The resulting picture of Noah, when these poetic sources are brought to bear on the discussion, is much less predictable and more dynamic than might be assumed from study of the more“academic” prose sources alone.

Abstract:
Abstract This article moves the poetic ijāzah from the periphery, where modern scholars have generally placed it, to a central position in Arabic poetry and mass media. The ijāzah was well developed before its adoption in the western Mediterranean, but Cordoban, Sevillian, and expatriate Sicilian poets distinguished the competitive improvised poem from corollary works in the Middle East, where it had first been invented. I argue that it is precisely the Andalusi innovations to the ijāzah’s formal development that have allowed traditional criticism to minimize its importance, against a larger trend of popular audiences appreciating performed ijāzahs, on stage and in mass media. Modern Arabic theatre and television have found enthusiastic audiences for the Andalusi poetic dialogue, a phenomenon that frames my Classical research. Media outlets, including those working closely with government officials, stage the ijāzah in ways that maximize its ideological value. As they use it to promote secularism and putatively benevolent dictatorship, propelling Andalusi literature into current Middle Eastern politics, we critics should seek to understand the dialogic form in its contemporary, insistently political phase of development.

Abstract:
The article considers the role of the seaport in the economy and politics of the state. There are listed the main functions of seaports: trade, transportation, employment, industrial, fiscal, and political functions. The important role of the seaports of Syria in improving the quality of transport support for foreign trade activities was noted. The favorable geographical position of the Syrian ports on the Mediterranean coast determines a significant role in international maritime trade between European and Oriental countries. The statistical data on the seaports of the Syrian Arab Republic in the cities Latakia and Tartus have been analyzed. The dynamics of the volumes of containers transshipped through the seaport of Latakia, as well as through the seaport of Tartus is considered. A comparative analysis of the dynamics of the traffic volumes between both ports was carried out. The pace of development in the work of the Syrian ports is being studied on the basis of the GCI (The Global Competitiveness Index) and the liner shipping service index. Comparison of the liner shipping service index between Syrian ports and ports of neighboring countries has been made. The international rating of Syrian ports is presented in comparison with the rating of the nearest ports in the region by infrastructure. Conclusions are made about the low rating of Syrian ports in comparison with competing countries and international ports in general. There has been found the necessity of a detailed study of the reasons for the low competitiveness of the Syrian ports, including the crisis of 2011, rupture of relations between Syria and many countries of the world, economic sanctions against Syria, etc., in order to further develop measures to increase the competitiveness of Syrian seaports.

Abstract:
Syria is potentially an ideal country for railway operations. A large proportion of the population and economic activities is concentrated on a North – South and east – west axis. The distances between major cities are generally those for which rail is most competitive on inter–city passenger and freight transport services. The railway network services connect: • Production centers with consumption centers (domestic transport). • Production centers with export gates to Iraq, Turkey, Ports of Tartous and Lattakia and Syrian Free Zones. • Consumption and manufacturing centers with import gates (Iraq, Turkey, Ports of Tartous and Lattakia). • Transit corridors particularly the north-south corridor from Turkey (and beyond) to Iraq and west-east corridor from the Syrian Ports to Iraq (2 directions for both corridors). • In the future, Jordan and Lebanon will be connected to the Syrian Railway Network. Syria and its neighboring Middle East countries have been engaged in constructive discussions, within the framework of "Director General Middle East organization" (DGMO), to connect their railway networks and to improve the rail transport services between these countries. DGMO consists of Syria, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Other Arab Gulf states, Central Asian countries, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India are not members yet, but in the future their railway networks will be linked to the DGMO members’ railway networks after the development of DGMO’ network. It's important for Syria to develop its railway network in order to serve international railway transport along main regional routes.

AbstractThis article explores the experience of the Great War in Syria and Lebanon with a specific focus on the famine that, combined with other wartime calamities, decimated the civilian population. Using food as its primary register, it looks at a wide range of largely untapped Syrian and Lebanese poems,zajal, plays, novels, memoirs, and histories written over the course of the 20th century, in order to illuminate the experiential dimensions of the civilians’ war and to delineate some of the discourses that structured it. More specifically, it argues that the wartime famine in Syria and Lebanon gave rise to a remembered cuisine of desperation that is deeply informative about the ruptured world of the civilians’ war.

Abstract:
Abstract Yahya Kemal and Nizar Qabbani were two poets who served as diplomats in Spain in the past century on behalf of the governments of Turkey and Syria. Yahya Kemal wrote two poems about Spain, “Dance in Andalusia “ and “Coffee Shop in Madrid”. “Dance in Andalusia,” a poem written about the Flamenco dance, has become very famous. In this poem, he described the traditional dance of the Spanish people and emphasized the place of this dance in their lives and the fun-loving lives of the people of Spain. In almost all of the poems which Nizar Qabbani wrote about Spain, on the other hand, a feeling of sadness rather than joy prevails. He gives a deep sigh in his poems as he regards Andalusia as the one-time land of his ancestors. His most important poem with respect to Spain is the poem entitled “Granada”. This poem is considered to be one of the most significant odes in the Arab literature describing Granada, the pearl of Andalusia, Arab influences there, the Alhambra palace and the sadness felt due to the loss of the city by Arabs. This study analyzes the two most important poems written by Yahya Kemal and Nizar Qabbani concerning Spain, namely “Dance in Andalusia” and “Granada”. Whenever it is deemed appropriate, other poems of the two poets regarding Spain will be dwelt upon and what kind of an influence Andalusia left in their emotional world will be revealed.

Abstract:
Le Liban, situe au carrefour du moyen orient et de l'occident, a joui tout au long de son existence d'une position stratégique dans le bassin méditerranéen. Le transit et la réexportation ont été l'un des éléments vitaux de son économie. L’axe routier international, Beyrouth-Chtaura-Masnaa, a été, quant a lui, le théâtre de ce mouvement. L’axe a son passage entre Chtaura et Massnaa, traverse la plaine de la Bekaa dans toute sa largeur. Zone a dominante agricole, " le boulanger de l'orient " ou la plaine de la Bekaa a commence sa mutation avec le début des événements qui sévissent toujours au Liban. Elle passe de l'agricole a l'urbain. Prés de 500 nouveaux bâtiments illégaux (contre une soixantaine avant 1975), occupes essentiellement par des commerces au rez-de-chaussée et par des habitations aux nivaux, ont été construits entre 1976 et 1986 le long de l'axe entre Chtaura et Masnaa. Prés de 2. 800 nouveaux magasins qui ne sont la qu'a cause du système d'économie dirigée de la Syrie et de l'effondrement étatique du Liban. L’axe entre Chtaura et Lasnaa, une douzaine de kilomètres est devenu presque "la zone franche" de la Syrie. Études et enquêtes sur le terrain, réflexions et conséquences.

Abstract:
In Europe, in the Middle Ages, ostrich feathers were used for the decoration of military headgear, as a representation of the high lineage of the possessor and his military virtues. They were imported from the coasts of West Africa, from Egypt and Syria into Italian and Spanish ports and from there exported to England and continental Europe. Venice, at the end of the fourteenth century, began to color feathers and soon the new fashion was spread throughout Europe. During the fifteenth century, even women began to use ostrich feathers on their hats or in their fans. When European ships reached America, Central Africa and the islands of the Indian Ocean, a huge amount of exotic bird feathers became available and ostrich feather fad spread through the population.

The two compendiums produced for this event (covering the Anatolian and the Hijazi expeditions) address Turkish perception of the Arabs, and Arab perception of the Turks within the Ottoman sultanate, and the possibilities of a future Turkish–Syrian Federation after the war. Even though the language and ideological references of the expeditions are outdated today, they nevertheless reveal hidden agendas and concerns that were uppermost in the minds of the Ottoman leadership.

This chapter details the engagement of Iraqi poets with the Arab Nahda of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It provides a brief account of the social role of poetry in late Ottoman Iraq and a survey of the neoclassical poetry revival in Egypt and Syria. The chapter shows how Iraqi poets used the Nahda press to articulate their own relationship to modernity and reveals how new appreciations of the singularity of Iraq’s poetry tradition inspired proto-nationalist conceptions of Iraqi culture. Finally, the chapter examines the efforts of a new generation of young Najafi poets to promote the pioneering role of their own Najafi predecessors and reconstruct the historiography of the Arab Nahda for a broader Arab audience in the early twentieth century.

The fourth chapter is a discussion based on the total number of biographies, and the medieval as well as the contemporary literature available. It discusses professional, social, geographical, religious and economic aspects of the Jewish medical practitioners (mainly physicians); places of medical practice, the practitioners’ professional education, intellectual workshops (i.e. libraries), and their professional roles, mainly that of ‘Head of the Physicians’. It also deals with everyday life and activity of Jewish practitioners, moral aspects, fees and the ‘Geniza’ patients, as well as religious and inter-religious aspects of Jewish practitioners, the high-ranking positions Jewish practitioners held, conversion to Islam, and famous Jewish scholars, authors, poets and diplomats who were simultaneously practitioners. A few more insights are related to community affairs, socio-economic position of Jewish practitioners, their role in the leadership, their share in charity activities, and the inter-community posts they held. The last section of this chapter endorses aspects such as: Karaite and Samaritan practitioners and geographical aspects (Jewish practitioners in Andalusia, north Africa, Sicily, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Azerbaijan).

Abstract:
This chapter explores the link between familial and religious devotion by comparing a sibling relationship enacted in poems by and about Mary Sidney Herbert, co-author of Renaissance England’s influential Sidney-Pembroke Psalter, to hagiographic sources reporting on the love between mothers and daughters in early Syriac Christian texts. While in the Syriac context, the accounts of mothers and daughters reveal Christians responding to the urbanization of asceticism by joining familial and ascetic bonds, the renewed biblicism in sixteenth-century England inspired poetry preoccupied with the relational dynamics of authorship, translation, and prayer. The chapter further explores the ways that these varied accounts of spiritual relationships might shed light on the relationality of pedagogy and the transformative potential of relationships between teachers and students.
