"شهرزاد الجديدة: أصوات نسائية عربية تعيد تشكيل الحكاية والسلطة"

شهرزاد تنجو من الموت من خلال سرد القصص — لكن ماذا يحدث عندما تستعيد الكاتبات العربيات صوتها ويُعدنه تشكيله بما يناسب العالم المعاصر؟ في هذه الحلقة، تستكشف أندريا وديانا كيف تقوم رموز أدبية مثل هدى بركات، نوال السعداوي، حنان الشيخ وغيرهن بإعادة تخييل شهرزاد كشخصية مقاومة، تحمل هوية نسوية وقوة سردية. وبالتركيز على رواية حارث المياه، تتناولان كيف يصبح السرد وسيلة لتحدي النظام الأبوي، والإرث الاستعماري، والقومية — لا سيما من خلال العلاقة المعقدة بين نقولا وشمسة. استمعوا إلى هذه الحلقة الغنية بالنقاش حول الجندر، والسرد، ومن يمتلك حق رفع الصوت في التقاليد الأدبية العربية.

"Scheherazade Reimagined: Arab Women Writers, Power, and Storytelling"

Scheherazade survives by telling stories—but what happens when Arab women writers take her voice and reshape it for the modern world? In this episode, Andrea and Diana explore how literary icons like Hoda Barakat, Nawal al-Saadawi, Hanan al-Shaykh, and others reimagine Scheherazade as a figure of resistance, identity, and feminist power. Centering on The Tiller of Waters, they unpack how storytelling becomes a tool to challenge patriarchy, colonial legacies, and nationalism—especially through the complex relationship between Niqula and Shamsa. Tune in for a rich conversation on gender, narrative, and who gets to hold the mic in the Arab literary tradition.

سوريا: رحلة عبر الموت والأمل/ Fragments of Syria: A Journey Through Death and Hope

في هذه الحلقة، نتناول كتاب الموت عمل شاق: رحلة عائلة سورية لخالد خليفة، وهو استكشاف قوي للواقع المتصدع في سوريا من خلال عيون ثلاثة إخوة في مهمة للوفاء بأمنية والدهم الأخيرة. ما يبدأ كرحلة بسيطة يتحول بسرعة إلى رمز للانهيار المجتمعي الذي يعصف بالبلاد. من خلال صور غنية وسرد مؤثر، يدعونا خليفة لمواجهة واقع الحرب القاسي، بينما يثير نقاشًا حول الأمل، والمثابرة، والأفعال الصغيرة للتمرد التي يمكن أن تشكل مستقبلًا أفضل. استمعوا إلى مناقشة عميقة حول تقاطعات الهوية الشخصية، العائلة، والآلام الوطنية.

In this episode, we delve into Death is a Hard Work: A Syrian Family's Journey by Khaled Khalifa, a powerful exploration of Syria's fractured landscape through the eyes of three siblings on a mission to honor their father's final wish. What begins as a simple journey quickly becomes a metaphor for the societal decay plaguing the nation. Andrea and Diana unpack the tension between individuality and societal conformity, the metaphor of the decaying corpse, and the possibility of resistance in the face of overwhelming adversity. Through rich imagery and poignant storytelling, Khalifa invites us to confront the harsh realities of war, while sparking a conversation about hope, resilience, and the small acts of defiance that can shape a better future. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersections of personal identity, family, and national trauma.
