The space of dissent in William Shakespeare's As You Like It
The Humanist episteme cherished individualism and mapped a world picture that places every object in its space and displaces any attempt of dissent. Shakespeare, then, produces As You Like It to invest in a new project that is not only a translation of its culture, but, above all, acts as an agent that maps and reshapes the episteme that has produced it. The characters, instead of ascending to the level of angels, choose to descend in space and time to the forest in an era marked by an opposition between the city and the country, or court and forest. The playwright thus becomes a mapmaker and the text a cartography of an alternative world. The physical displacement of characters to the alternative world of the forest spells out the playwright's examination of the possibility of an anarchic "state" that negates all forms of corruption and policing; family, gender, class and even poetic orthodoxies. This hypothesis suggests the failure of the embryonic capitalist state, or a shared anxiety towards it. The interlude in the greenwood contrasts the immobility of time to a spatial mobility. Greenwood, thus, marks the longing for an alternative and a rejection of an authoritarian world, that of the city and the court. In this essay, I will study the revolutionary dimension of the text through an examination of poetic, political, and theatrical (dis)spatiality. ; peer-reviewed

Strategic maneuvering for political change: a pragma-dialectical analysis of Egyptian anti-regime columns
In: Argumentation in context 16
In Strategic Maneuvering for Political Change, the author analyzes five political columns written before 2011 by Al Aswany, a prominent Egyptian novelist, using the lens of the extended pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation. What these texts have in common is the use of narrative, fictional and semi-literary techniques to strategically maneuver in supporting the feasibility of political change. It is a contribution to explain how an anti-regime writer paved the way to the Arab Spring in Egypt, and thus goes against a common opinion that the Arab Spring in Egypt was fortuitous or a wholly social-media-based movement. This monograph is an attempt to help argumentation theorists, linguists, analysts of narratives, and political scientists better understand and evaluate how fiction and narration can be effective means of persuasion in the domain of political communication. It therefore reconsiders the non-straightforward and artistic variants of the language of politics
