Summary note
"The journal Shi'r (1957-70) was a professional avant-garde monthly journal founded in Beirut and became a centre of various types of cultural practice. Over the course of time, the activities of the group that were linked to the journal were consolidated in what was called 'the Shi'r movement'." "Most of the writers who investigate and evaluate the practices and contributions of Shi'r define the prose poem as central to Shi'r's aspiration for cultural change, yet Arab critics who explore the works of the Shi'r group tend to treat the work of each writer as an individual accomplishment and the journal as simply a meeting venue and a medium for conducting individual experiments and pursuing personal careers." "Basing its analysis on the major writings about Shi'r and the prose poem in Arabic and English, the book seeks to demonstrate that these conventional methods of viewing the Shi'r project still breed misconceptions about the group and their writings and still affect adversely the studies of the Arabic prose poem. Taking as its basis recent groundbreaking writings on modern cultural and literary studies in general, and on studies of the prose poem in particular, the book attempts to search for a new perspective to redefine the place of "Shi'r" Arabic prose poem."--Jacket.
