Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2024Coup in Damascus
Husni al-Za'im and the birth of Syrian military rule
by Carl Rihan
Coup in Damascus is a history of Syria's first military regime. It plots the the fall of Syria's democracy and the rise of its military rulers, particularly Husni al-Zaim, whose brief rule in 1949 represented a profoundly transformative moment for the Syrian nation. It is a history of the thoughts, intentions and motives of political actors underpinning the events that have marked Syria's history after the first Arab-Israeli war, and focuses mainly on the interaction between local, regional and international actors. Unlike most histories of the modern Middle East that tackle broad intervals and that focus on the sequences of events, this history seeks to reconstruct the thought processes behind the events, and anchor them within the epoch's existing political and socioeconomic conditions. It draws on several methodological influences, particularly R.G. Collingwood's 'history as re-enactment of the past'.

October 2006Die Verschwulung der Welt
Rede gegen Rede. Beirut – Berlin
by Rashid al-Daif, Joachim Helfer, Günther Orth, Joachim Sartorius
Zwei Männer auf einem Diwan: Das Austauschprogramm »West-östlicher Diwan« bringt Schriftsteller aus Deutschland und der arabischen Welt paarweise zusammen, um durch ihr Kennenlernen dem vielbeschworenen ›Kampf der Kulturen‹ entgegenzuwirken. Joachim Helfer und Rashid al-Daif haben die Aufforderung zum Gespräch ernstgenommen. So entstand ein verblüffendes Buch: Der libanesische Autor schreibt ein Protokoll, dessen Gegenstand sein deutscher Kollege ist – und zwar als Privatperson. Er kommentiert dessen gleichgeschlechtliche Lebensweise, beschreibt Ansichten zu Sexualität, Liebe und Moral, die ihm fremd sind. Der deutsche Autor reagiert darauf mit radikaler Offenheit, schildert die Begegnung aus seiner Sicht und zeigt am Text des libanesischen Kollegen dessen eigene, zwischen Tradition und Moderne hin und her gerissenen Vorstellungen von Männer- und Frauenrollen auf. Am Ende macht der auf beiden Seiten mit dem Mut zur Selbstentblößung geführte Dialog erschreckend deutlich, wie sehr im Verhältnis zwischen Orient und Okzident das Private das Politische ist.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2024Romanticizing masculinity in Baathist Syria
Gender, identity and ideology
by Rahaf Aldoughli
This book provides a novel analysis of the conceptual sources and ideological contours of the Assad regime. The book documents the Baathists' fascination with Romanticised and 'muscular' ideas of the nation that emerged in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European social philosophy, and traces the implementation and impacts of these ideologies in the Syrian context. Emphasising the emergence of new forms of public gendered identity in Syria as a unifying feature of nationalism bound closely with the stability of the regime, the book shows how Romantic, muscular nationalism first rose to hegemony and then was shattered by its inherent violence, contradictions and inequalities. The final chapter closes by considering how a new vision of pluralism and civic belonging is today challenging the Romanticised Baathist ideal in contention for Syria's future.
