Review: Sculpture on a Grand Scale: Jack Christiansen’s Thin Shell Modernism

Review: <i>Sculpture on a Grand Scale: Jack Christiansen’s Thin Shell Modernism</i>

The Translator of Desires (By Muhyiddin Ibn ?Arabi, [Translator: Michael Sells

Reviewed by: The Translator of Desires by Muhyiddin Ibn ʿArabi Rosabel Ansari (bio) The Translator of Desires Muhyiddin Ibn ʿArabi Michael Sells (Translator) Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation Princeton, NJ—Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2021. xxxviii + 323 Pages. In this book, Michael Sells presents the first complete English translation of Ibn ʿArabī's (d. 1240 CE) collection of sixty-one love poems, Tarjumān al-ashwāq (The Translator of Desires), in over a century. The English translation is provided in a bilingual format side by side with the Arabic text. With an astounding capacity to produce a work that is simultaneously accessible and scholarly, Sells succeeds in catering to both a general and specialist readership. In addition to the translation, Sells provides an engaging introduction, notes to the poems, an array of appendices, a glossary and endnotes. As such, this book provides a first-class entry point into Ibn ʿArabī's poetry that provides the newcomer with all the tools to delve deeply into the poems without being unwieldy. At the same time, its creative translation of Ibn ʿArabī's classical Arabic into fluent, natural English offers pleasurable and stimulating reading for the casual reader or beginning student. The specialist reader of Ibn ʿArabī's poetry, however, will find in Sells' introduction and notes, a profound engagement with Ibn ʿArabī's theory of love in the Tarjumān and its relation to religious ritual, belief and mystical philosophy. Spanning thirty-one pages (pp. xiii–xxxiii), the translator's introduction is a masterful piece of prose that situates the Tarjumān in Ibn ʿArabī's life [End Page 137] and oeuvre. The writing is both captivating and concise. Most striking in the introduction is Sells' discussion of Ibn ʿArabī's "shawq-conditioned human existence." Explaining the Arabic term shawq (pl. ashwāq) ("love, desire, passion, or longing") as "analogous to the classical Greek eros insofar as it was taken as a fundamental driving force within human life, art, and thought" (p. xv), Sells enthrals the reader into joining the lover on a journey in search of the beloved. At times the writing is so concise the reader feels short-changed. For example, the three sentences on the meaning of tarjumān ("translator") on page xv are tantalisingly short. Yet, at the end of the introduction, Sells circles back to this theme telling us that just as the forms of the beloved constantly change in their manifestations, "To be is to be moved from site to site, from word to word, from self to self, ever lost and ever regained-always in translation" (p. xxxiii). Not only gratifying the earlier frustration, the reader cannot help but feel that Sells' introduction is imbued with the philosophy it introduces and analyses. Likewise integrated into this philosophy is Sells' analysis of the Arabic rhetorical feature of iltifāt, a radical shifting in voice that is used extensively in both the Qurʾan and classical poetry. Sells explains clearly the shifts in voice from singular to plural, first to second to third person and male to female, allowing the reader new to this Arabic rhetorical device to understand its context and meaning. He also combines this with a meta-analysis of what iltifāt signifies for Ibn ʿArabī's perspective on love and the world: "ever-repeated acts of reenchantment as the beloved is brought back to the present and the withered world is revived" (p. xxii). Similarly, Sells draws out the connection between the love poetry of the Tarjumān and the mystical philosophy of wahdat al-wujūd (the oneness of being) commonly associated with Ibn ʿArabī, albeit developed by his disciples. On the surface, the relation between the two is not evident. However, Sells signals the connection between the poet-lover's goal of self-annihilation in the beloved and the union with God sought in Islamic mysticism (pp. xxvi–xxvii). Most importantly, there exists a "bittersweet dynamism" in both cases: neither the manifestation of God nor the beloved can last longer than momentarily in the heart of the lover. It can only occur as flashes, never to be possessed. Beyond the treatment of the philosophy of love, another impressive feature...

Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi

Reviewed by: Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi Margaret Ann Snow (bio) Yaa Gyasi. Transcendent Kingdom. New York, N.Y.: Alfred A. Knopf, 2020. 288 pages. Hardcover. $27.95. In Transcendent Kingdom, Yaa Gyasi writes of pain and loss so vividly the reader feels it, as if they are actually experiencing it themselves. Gifty, the narrator, is conducting research on mice as a PhD candidate in neuroscience while also tending to and worrying about her depressed mother who rarely gets out of bed. Stories from Gifty's past are interspersed with moments from the present day. The scenes from her past are not in chronological order. Instead, they are more thoughtfully given to readers to keep us wanting more. Her story begins before she was born, when her mother and father meet in Ghana. Gifty's father is only ever referred to as the Chin Chin Man, a name he earned for the deep-fried snacks made of flour, sugar, milk, and butter that he convinced Gifty's Ghanian grandmother to give him for free. However, Gifty's mother's name is never mentioned. In journaling to God, Gifty refers to her as The Black Mamba. Her parents are married in Ghana, and her older brother, Nana, is born there. Her mother wants to give her new baby everything and decides moving [End Page 118] to America is the way to do so, a decision Gifty eventually questions: "this place was everything [her] mother hoped for that day when she asked God where she should go to give her son the world." While her father is never keen on moving to America, he quickly follows his wife and young son, but longs for Ghana. In America, he is accused of stealing in Walmart "three times in four months…Homesick, humiliated, he stopped leaving the house." Eventually, he returns to Ghana, where he feels free to be a strong, proud, Black man. The Chin Chin Man's absence from his family reverberates throughout the story and leaves Gifty's mother a single, working parent in a foreign country. There are occasions of racism throughout the novel and Gifty's childhood. In the Sunday School room at her church, Gifty overhears two women talking about her brother Nana, a gifted basketball player who has transformed the local team. But Nana is battling an injury, and his doctor, who wants to see him back on the court, has prescribed Oxycontin. "Their kind does seem to have a taste for drugs," the women whisper. Afterwards, Gifty's names feelings of internalized racism before there was a term for it: "I grew up only with my part, my little throbbing stone of self-hate that I carried around with me to church, to school, to all those places in my life that worked, it seemed to me then, to affirm the idea that I was irreparably, fatally, wrong." The drug quickly consumes Nana, filling a void created by the emptiness left by his father, his own internalized racism, or any number of other reasons, and it leads him to other drugs. After Nana is pressed on what it feels like when he takes the drugs, he answers, "like everything inside my head just empties out and then there is nothing left—in a good way." Gyasi forces readers to see addicts beyond their addiction and the depressed beyond their depression—to face our own participation in the stigma that prevents these people from [End Page 119] receiving the care and help they need. In a park, Gifty holds Nana's feet, and their mother holds his upper body. They carry him, passed out, to the car. Remembering this day, she says, "The thing I will never forget is that people were watching us do all of this[…]and no one lifted a finger." After years of trying to fight addiction and eventually learning to coexist with it, police tell Gifty and her mother that Nana has overdosed on heroin in a Starbucks parking lot and is dead. Gifty's doctoral research on reward-seeking behavior in mice is directly related to losing her brother. She chooses this research as a way to "work through all of...

A ARTE DE PRODUZIR EFEITO SEM CAUSA: AS POSSIBILIDADES DE LEITURA DO ROMANCE DE LOURENÇO MUTARELLI

The aim of this article was to identify the possibilities of reading the novel “The art of produce uncaused effect” (2008), by Lourenço Mutarelli, as well as the feelings and sensations triggered by the work before the act of reading.

Far from solving the problems proposed by the work, the reader of the novel finds more doubts than answers. Fear of anguish are the main sensations resulting from reading. The reading itself concretizes the cathartic effect of the text, because the reader feels distressed by the experience of the Junior character and the impossibility of following a concrete path throughout the novel. The certainty is that there is no solution formulated either by the text, much less by the reader.
