SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This thesis examines the role of shame, space and language in the formation of queer identity within two novels, Guapa by Saleem Haddad (New York: Other Press, 2016) and Fi Ghurfat al-'Ankabut [In the Spider's Room] by Muhammad 'Abdul Nabi (Alexandria: Dar al 'Ayn, 2016). I begin with an overview of the theoretical material against which I read these two novels in order to situate them within a larger framework of debate surrounding the themes of shame, language, and space. I then analyze the role of language in the development of a queer identity of the two main characters of each work, Rasa and Hani, respectively. I discuss how language impacts how they come to know themselves, in particular how they grapple with the use of language that connotes queerness in their daily life. I also address the role of certain affects, which I categorize as negative queer affects, in the development of the protagonists' identities vis-à-vis the physical and social milieus that they exist in. More specifically I focus on the negative queer affect of shame in these two narratives and how it informs the characters and their development. I then put this discussion in conversation with larger frameworks for understanding "queer shame" in Arab contexts. Finally, I suggest how these works offer us as readers ways to begin thinking about how we can utilize the queer Arab affectual experiences within them to build new formations and understandings of what it can mean to be both Arab and queer.
