FIELD OF RESEARCH
My research concentrates on medieval Arabic prose literature. My previous studies had paid attention to folk literature, especially to that group of stories which can be labelled as fairy-tales and, at the same time, I had done extensive research into the field of genre theory, including the problems of genre classification and the development of classical and medieval Arabic prose genres. At the moment, my research concentrates mainly on the short stories of The Thousand and One Nights but, at the same time, it strives to give a broader picture of pre-modern Arabic prose literature by reaching out to other genres from both popular and adab literature.
Fields of Interests: literary theory, genre theory, folktale studies, Structuralism, The Thousand and One Nights, prose literature of the Mamluk era, adab
