Fakhreddine\, “Our Oracle-Ruin: The Arabic Poetic Tradition in Light of Gaza.” \nRegister here to attend. \nIn the moment of genocide\, Gaza becomes a language\, a lens\, an interrogation\, a refutation of all that came before\, and a compass for all that comes after. This talk launches from the murdered Gazan poet Hiba Abu Nada’s poem\, “O How Alone We Are!” to present a reading of the Arabic poetic tradition through the lens of Gaza\, highlighting a long Arabic legacy of confronting time and its calamities with defiant “alone-ness.” \nThe talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by Saree Makdisi\, Professor of English & Comparative Literature at UCLA. \nHuda J. Fakhreddine is a writer\, translator\, and Associate Professor of Arabic Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of Metapoesis in the Arabic Tradition (Brill\, 2015) and The Arabic Prose Poem: Poetic Theory and Practice (Edinburgh University Press\, 2021)\, and the co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Poetry (Routledge\, 2023). \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu URL:https://english.ucla.edu/event/our-oracle-ruin-the-arabic-poetic-tradition-in-light-of-gaza/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250207T130000 DTSTAMP:20260825T005053Z CREATED:20260825T005053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260825T005053Z UID:10000558-1738926000-1738933200@english.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Personnel Committee Meeting DESCRIPTION: URL:https://english.ucla.edu/event/personnel-committee-meeting-31/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
