Mediterranean Dream-Places considers the political, ethical and historiographic challenges that arise from the reception of surrealism in late twentieth-century Arab literature. This project explores the logic whereby Arab authors recast surrealist poetics in an Arabo-Islamic literary tradition, particularly in the lineage of Sufism. Looking to the Arabic writers Adūnīs and Idwār al-Kharrāṭ, as well as the Francophone authors Abdelwahab Meddeb and Habib Tengour, the dissertation situates surrealism in a trans-Mediterranean tradition, thus challenging not only traditional modernist geographies but, also, familiar modernist genealogies. Over the course of four chapters, Mediterranean Dream-Places demonstrates how the reclamation of surrealism in Arab literature becomes a political tool, both for writing the Arab world into the history of European modernism, and for imagining a decolonized future.
