Anglophone Arab Autobiography and the Postcolonial Middle East: Najla Said and Hisham Matar
Tahia Khaled Gamal Abdel Nasser
A prominent device assumed by the contemporary Anglophone Arab memoir is that of the ‘return narrative’. This chapter focuses on Palestinian-American author Najla Said’s Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab American Family and London-based Libyan novelist Hisham Matar’s The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between. Looking for Palestine and The Return represent a new form of transnational literature that explicitly seeks to cut across the Orientalised circuits of literary and cultural exchange by which memoirs from the Arab world are typically written, published and read. They trace personal and political trajectories that draw attention to the Middle East of the twenty-first century and that explore the dynamics of return in this rapidly changing context. By closely attending to these memoirs of return, I aim in this chapter to reveal how the genre of Anglophone Arab autobiography engages established networks of literary transmission and reception, and, in so doing, sheds new light on the Middle East.

The Production of Alternative Knowledge: Political Participation of Palestinian Women since the 1930s: A Case Study
Faiha Abdulhadi
Oral history archives have always been at the forefront of liberatory social movements in general, and of feminist movement in particular. Until the end of the twentieth century in the Arab world, archives of women’s oral narratives were almost non-existent with the exception of small documentation efforts tied to individual research. However, since 2011, there has been a marked increase in the documentation of projects. In this context, the Women and Memory Forum organized a conference in 2015 about the challenges of creating gender sensitive oral history archives in times of change. The papers in this collection shed light on documentation initiatives in Arab countries in transitional and conflict situations, in addition to international experiences. They engage with questions around archives and power, the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies to the making and preserving of archives, ethical concerns in the construction of archives, women’s archives and the production of alternative knowledge, as well as conceptual and methodological issues in oral history.

A framework for using data analytics to measure trust in government through the social capital generated over governmental social media platforms
Nahed Azab and Mohamed ElSherif
© 2018 is held by the owner/author(s). It has been noted that citizens' trust in public institutions is continuously declining. Low social capital has been confirmed as one of the main reasons for this decrease in trust towards government. As social media offer a number of features that could foster social capital, governments worldwide are embracing these new tools in an attempt to restore citizens' trust. Having an existence on social media doesn't guarantee that it would increase trust; it can even compromise on the reputation of a public agency in the absence of a clear strategy targeted towards developing confidence and trust. To ensure the reflection of this strategy on the content of governmental social media, there should be a mechanism that measures the degree of trust on social media in government taking into account different aspects related to trust. Despite the importance of this kind of evaluation, it is though overlooked in both academia and practice. This paper therefore aims to fill this research gap through suggesting a standard technique to measure different trust dimensions on social media accounts of governments. A proposed framework for evaluating trust was applied on Facebook accounts of three Egyptian ministries -selected based on their apparent contribution to the national economy- taking into account six dimensions of trust: Responsiveness, Accessibility, Transparency, Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Participation.

Secularism, Sectarianism, and Spirituality in Sinan Antoon’s The Corpse Washer
Ferial J. Ghazoul
The presence of religion in literature is not a new phenomenon. Religion is a part of culture; its popular manifestations and diverse interpretations and beliefs have often been exposed in literary works from Milton to Dostoevsky, from Dante to Flaubert. Images of religion are often interwoven in literary works and different aspects and manifestations of religion may be emphasized -doctrines, ethics or rituals. If we examine the presence of Islam in Arabic literary works, we find different types of Islam presented, and this is not surprising since Islam has many faces in the life of Muslim societies, from its institutional formulation to popular Islam as lived by the people.
