The Poetics of Arabian S?qs

A Hermeneutic Reading of the Development of Arabian S?qs from the Pre-Islamic Era to Present

Jasmine Shahin,

About this book

This book investigates the history of Arabian s?qs from their pre-Islamic beginnings to the present. Collecting evidence from archaeological ruins, Islamic towns, modern cities, Arabic poetry, philosophical debates, political conflicts, puppet shows and the insights of modern-day market-goers, the book presents new and unforeseen interpretations of the Arabian s?q's meaning and its transformation through time and place. The finding that such meaning is tied to ancient trade rituals, where temple and market presented a holistic socio-urban unit, re-questions some instrumental assumptions regarding the value of s?q-ness in Arabia's everyday practices. Such a finding, which locates the fada? / tareeq duality as a central theme in Arabia's socio-urban discourse, emphasizes the importance of lived experiences and poetics as key sources for understanding socio-urban phenomena.
