JOURNALISM AND THE AVANT-GARDE  \nJournalism played a role of unparalleled importance in the evolution of modern literary forms and techniques in Arabic literature. Literature, Journalism and the Avant-Garde explores the role of journalism in Egypt in shaping the development of modern Arabic literature from its inception in the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.  \nThis book seeks to re-map the Egyptian literary scene over recent decades by focusing on the independent, frequently dissident journals that became the real hotbed of innovative literary activity inflected by politics as censorship and licensing laws drove experimentation underground. It is in this context that the journal became, paradoxically, the ‘traditional’ forum for innovative literature. Using a broad range of original Arabic sources read against avant-garde theory and Bourdieu’s theory of fields, the author shows how the journal became the lifeblood of a whole literary sub-field able to operate (semi-) autonomously of establishment institutions. It is the vibrant dynamic powered by literary journalism and the dialectic between literary margin and mainstream that this book seeks to reconstruct.  \nWhile broad in historical scope, Literature, Journalism and the Avant-Garde emphasizes the enduring influence of the ‘sixties generation’ – the subject of increasing scholarly interest – and the pivotal role of the avant-garde journal Gallery 68 in fostering a sense of literary modernism in Egyptian and, to a larger extent, Arabic fiction.  \nElisabeth Kendall studied and researched at Oxford and Harvard Universities. Her core research interests lie in twentieth-century Arabic and Turkish literature, especially experimental movements. She is a lecturer in Arabic and Turkish at Edinburgh University.  \nROUTLEDGE STUDIES IN MIDDLE EASTERN LITERATURES  \nEditors:  \nJames E. Montgomery  \nUniversity of Cambridge  \nRoger Allen  \nUniversity of Pennsylvania  \nPhilip F. Kennedy  \nNew York University  \nRoutledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures is a monograph series devoted to aspects of the literatures of the Near and Middle East and North Africa both modern and pre-modern. It is hoped that the provision of such a forum will lead to a greater emphasis on the comparative study of the literatures of this area, although studies devoted to one literary or linguistic region are warmly encouraged. It is the editors’ objective to foster the comparative and multi-disciplinary investigation of the written and oral literary products of this area.  \n1.
