Notes

1. These quotations are offered by Jacquemond but are re-quoted for the sake of further interpretations.

2. This was noted by Ahdaf Soueif at a talk held at SOAS by the Egyptian Students Association, 28 February 2011.

3. This was suggested in an informal interview with Sahar El Mougy conducted in November 2009.

4. Papers (mainly delivered in Arabic) that greatly enhanced an understanding of the topic but which we were not able to include were given by: Mohammed Afifi; Hanaa al Gohary; Faisal Younis; Ziad Elmarsafy; Mona Ibrahim; Hala Kamal. I am very grateful to Nadia El Kholy for hosting the conference; the ESRC/AHRC for funding it and to Sahar El Mougy for the introductions to the writers I interviewed.
