This title establishes a two-way interpretive methodology between
theory, history, and geography and the novel that serves as the
groundwork for innovative interdisciplinary readings of monumental
space. There has been a proliferation in recent scholarship of
studies of monuments and their histories and of theoretical
positions that shed light on aspects of their meanings. However,
just as monuments mark their territory by attempting to ensure the
existence of boundaries, so these discourses set a boundary between
their authority as platforms on which the interpretation of
monumental space occurs and, in this respect, the different
authority of the novel. This study crosses this boundary by means
of dynamic interdisciplinary movements between selected novels by
James Joyce, Yukio Mishima, Rashid al-Daif, and Orhan Pamuk, on the
one hand, and various theoretical perspectives, history, and
cultural geography, on the other. Through the specific choice of
literary texts that represent monumental space in atypical
post-imperial geopolitical contexts, "Monumental Space and the
Post-Imperial Novel" brings into question many postcolonial
paradigms. Sakr establishes a two-way interpretive methodology
between theory, history, and cultural geography and the novel that
serves as the groundwork for innovative interdisciplinary readings
of monumental space.
