Explore @MULOSIGE's new translations! We are grateful to @_SimonLeese who translated three essays from Egyptian and Syrian 1960s’ and 1980s’ journals. These essays discuss Indian literature and the development of Arab-Indian cultural relations.

Interesting conversation about translating non-European literatures at the Literary Translation Centre with @MaitreyiKarnoor, Alice Guthrie and Katja Zakrajšek, moderated by the legendary @oliviasnaije and organised by @MakingLitTravel.
Any suggestions for #WorldLit and translated short stories that can be used to teach English language learners? I was surprised by how hard it is to find anything other than folklore...
New project affiliated with CSMC: 'Demarginalizing Medieval Africa' ist carried out in cooperation with #UCL and explores the art, history, and culture of the Ethiopian Empire during the early Solomonic period: https://t.co/ji0KR836qk

@wwborders As an interesting caveat: @Inalco Professor Mélanie Bourlet shows that not all #Mauritanian literatures seek a global audience in this article for @MULOSIGE : https://t.co/A4tkSAfTU8
Nearly three years later, @JulyBlalack reflects on the increased regional and international recognition of Mauritanian stories- including this year's film @TheMauritanian- for @wwborders https://t.co/SisgOBycyJ
Congratulations to our own July Blalack, whose work on novels in Mauritania is featured in The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions (Oxford University Press).
An important resource for anyone working in Arab literature!

This has been a great project, with many people involved. The Middle Atlas strand was coordinated by Lhoussain Simour (Hassan II Univ. of Casablanca) and the Riffian one by Mohamed Daoudi (Hassan II Univ. of Casablanca), who is also the translator of the Riffian corpus.
Take a look at the Amazigh lit in translation archive! You can listen to tales from the Moroccan Middle Atlas told by Fadma Tainsirt (and read them in translation) and read poems by Riffian authors such as Fadma El Ouariachi... https://t.co/3uiCXoV6ax @MULOSIGE
