The Andalusi Turn: The Nūba in Mediterranean History
Variations among the contemporary North African nūba poetic-musical traditions, as well as their shifting social bases, show that migration to and elaboration within North African societies transformed the elite musical artistry of al-Andalus. Viewing the Andalusian nūba as a trans-Mediterranean phenomenon illustrates the significant diversity that lay beneath the apparent uniformity of erudite Arab-Mediterranean culture in the late medieval and early modern periods.

Melancholic Loss: Reading Bedouin Women's Elegiac Poetry
Arabic poetry scholarship in English has always acknowledged and examined elegiac poetry but failed to give not only Bedouin poetry from the Arabian Peninsula but also Arab women's writing the recognition it deserves for contributing to the feminine lament, an old concern of women since Greeks, and thereby offering a unique articulation of melancholy and loss. To this end, Al-Ghadeer highlights the cultural and philosophical displacement and/or exchange of the writings on melancholy. He also suggests that the lack of theoretical analyses of melancholy in relation to Arabic literature seemingly signifies an unwillingness to recognize this long comparative history of melancholia.
