Khalil Sarkis (1842–1915) was an eminent figure in late Ottoman Beirut and an important contributor to thenahḍa, the Arab literary-cultural "awakening" that began in the latter part of the 19th century. Less known to Western scholarship than Butrus al-Bustani, Faris al-Shidyaq, or Jurji Zaydan, he is not usually regarded as a pillar of that awakening. He may not have been, but he certainly was an indispensable brick in its edifice. Born in 1842, when the most exciting changes were still in the future, Sarkis spent all his life in the service of his country's cultural betterment. He is mostly remembered for his newspaper,Lisan al-Hal, which was launched in 1877 and for many decades was one of the most credible Arabic organs. More than a journalist, however, Sarkis was a pioneering printer, a prolific publisher, and the author of nine books. In the last quarter of the 19th century he built one of Beirut's largest printing businesses, which turned out several journals, hundreds of books, and numerous publications. In the 19th-century Middle East, being a printer often meant being a publisher; Khalil Sarkis was both on a grand scale.

Exploring the 'Nahda', a cultural renaissance in the Arab world responding to massive social change, this study presents a crucial and often overlooked part of the Arab world's encounter with global capitalist modernity, an interaction which reshaped the Middle East over the course of the long nineteenth century. Seeing themselves as part of an expanding capitalist civilization, Arab intellectuals approached the changing world of the mid-nineteenth century with confidence and optimism, imagining utopian futures for their own civilizing projects. By analyzing the works of crucial writers of the period, including Butrus al-Bustani and Rifa'a al-Tahtawi, alongside lesser-known figures such as the prolific journalist Khalil al-Khuri and the utopian visionary Fransis Marrash of Aleppo, Peter Hill places these visions within the context of their local class- and state-building projects in Ottoman Syria and Egypt, which themselves formed part of a global age of capital. By illuminating this little-studied early period of the Arab Nahda movement, Hill places the transformation of the Arab region within the context of world history, inviting us to look beyond the well-worn categories of 'tr

This research is an attempt to review and study Egyptian diplomacy towards the Al-Nahda Dam crisis after 2011. This crisis has been existing as one of the main issues of Egyptian diplomacy. And because of the importance of this topic, the research arises the following questions: Has Egyptian diplomacy succeeded in employing its tools to solve the Ethiopian Al-Nahda Dam crisis and achieve its interests? What are the challenges facing this diplomacy? In order to obtain convincing answers to these questions, this research attempts to present a basic hypothesis, which states that:"Egyptian diplomacy has used a set of its external tools to address the file of the Ethiopian Al- Nahda Dam and protect the country's interests, but it failed in achieving its goals in convincing Ethiopia to abide through the principles of international water law. This failure was due to a number of internal and external challenges it faced when it decided to resolve the crisis. To study this issue, the research relies on two approaches, the descriptive method, and the system analysis method to investigate the validity of the main assumption of the research. As a result, the research approved the validity of its hypothesis.

Levantine immigration to Chile started during the last quarter of the 19th century. This immigration, almost exclusively male at the outset, changed at the beginning of the 20th century when women started following their fathers, brothers, and husbands to the New World. Defining the role and status of the Arab woman within her community in Chile has never before been tackled in a detailed study. This article attempts to broach the subject by looking at Arabic newspapers published in Chile between 1912 and the end of the 1920s. A thematic analysis of articles dealing with the question of women or written by women, appearing in publications such as Al-Murshid, Asch-Schabibat, Al-Watan, and Oriente, will be discussed.

The fall in so-called 'literary' studies can be explained by the dominance in these studies of research on traditional texts. The orientalist approach continues to prevail, with a focus on texts coming from the Arab world but written in French. Most of the work is still based on an old problem, which poses a break between old and modern literature, which is due to the imitation of western productions. Without much reflection on their methodology, the analyses are based on naïve sociology of the texts, favouring their political dimension at the expense of their aesthetic characteristics. In order to break these gaps, it would be necessary to address new approaches which recognise, as a starting point, the profound restructuring of the literary field at the time of the Arab Renaissance (Nahda), in an explanatory purpose which is no longer dominated by the Western paradigm while remaining attentive to the 'acculturation to the printing of work in these societies'. With a view to this new symbolic economy, the first stories of the Arabic printed book should be extended, compared to its readership, to the written market and the new 'literary fact' that allows the birth of the modern Arabic writer. Breaking with the literary doxa which dominates the assessment of works would be possible through better knowledge of their reception and social uses. ; International audience ; The fall in so-called 'literary' studies can be explained by the dominance in these studies of research on traditional texts.
