Introduction: Psychoanalysis and Islam

3. See Tafsir al-Ahlam, trans. Mustafa Safwan, rev. Mustafa Ziywar (Cairo: Dar al-Maʿarif, 2004). For a partial catalog of Arabic translations of Freud, see Josette Zoueïn, “Freud en arabe: Notice bibliographique,” Che vuoi? 21 (2004): 100–104. https://www.cairn.info/revue-che-vuoi-2004-1-page-101.htm. It is important to note that English and French translations of Freud and Arabic synopses were available and widely read prior to formal translation efforts.

5. Very few studies have addressed the grammar and vocabulary of modern selfhood within Middle Eastern societies. Anthropologists and literary scholars, however, have paved the way in this regard. See, for example, Stefania Pandolfo, Impasse of the Angels (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1997); Pandolfo, “The Thin Line of Modernity: Some Moroccan Debates on Subjectivity,” in Questions of Modernity, ed. Timothy Mitchell (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2000), 115–47; Pandolfo, “‘Soul Choking’: Maladies of the Soul, Islam, and the Ethics of Psychoanalysis,” Umbr(a): Islam (2009): 71–103; Pandolfo, Knot of the Soul: Madness, Psychoanalysis, Islam (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017); Suad Joseph, ed., Intimate Selving in Arab Families: Gender, Self, and Identity (Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 1999); Joseph, “Learning Desire: Relational Pedagogies and the Desiring Female Subject in Lebanon,” Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies 1, no. 1 (2005): 79–109; Joseph, “Thinking Intentionality: Arab Women’s Subjectivity and Its Discontents,” Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies 8, no. 2 (2012): 1–25; Amira Mittermaier, Dreams That Matter: An Anthropology of the Imagination in Modern Egypt (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2011); Stephen Sheehi, Foundations of Modern Arab Identity (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2004); Sheehi, “Inscribing the Arab Self: Butrus al-Bustani and Paradigms of Subjective Reform,” British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies 27, no. 1 (2000): 7–24.

6. I am drawing on Talal Asad’s idea of “Islam as a discursive tradition,” in “The Idea of an Anthropology of Islam,” Occasional Papers, Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (Washington, DC: Georgetown University, 1986) and Samira Haj, Reconfiguring Islamic Tradition: Reform, Rationality, and Modernity (Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2009).

11. Ibrahim Naji, “al-Shabab al-Misri wa-l-Mushkila al-Jinsiyya,” al-Hilal 47 (1938): 57–60. Naji noted that students were reading Freud outside of their university curriculum and in a rather haphazard and at times refracted fashion.
