- Interdisciplinary Approaches to Literary Networks, Reading Practices, and Interpretative Communities in the Arab World and Beyond
Can we imagine writing without reading, books without readers, literature without reception? Although readers are certainly of great importance for the state and fate of literature, literary studies has often struggled to approach readers and their reception of literary texts. Structural and post-structuralist approaches have attempted to understand the "aesthetics of reception" of model readers (Iser), the genealogy of author-reader (Bloom), or the free-floating agency of texts (Kristeva). In recent years, the sociology of literature has drawn attention to the "literary field" and its cultural practices (Bourdieu), seeking to understand the translation economy of world literature (Casanova) or social communities of readers (Griswold). The seminar offers a critical interdisciplinary introduction to theories and methods of literary reception.
Against this background, the seminar provides a new perspective on modern Arabic literature by looking at its local, regional and global reception. It asks about social functions, cultural practices, institutional structures and political instrumentalizations of reading Arabic literature. It begins with the Arabic Human Development Report “What Arabs Read” and literacy research, focuses on the formations of canons and bestsellers lists, investigates the role of high-brow intellectuals and non-professional BookTubers, asks for the politics of translations and literary prizes for world literature and discusses the social dynamics of book clubs and digital platforms. Using selected novels, essays and poems since the beginning of the 20th century as case studies, the seminar also analyses the aesthetic and epistemic receptions of individual texts and explores, how literary studies could fruitfully combine the analyses of literary texts and their reception. If readers are really important for literature, how can research into the sociology of literary reception contribute to our understanding of literature?
