This volume describes a number of tendencies that seem to crystallise in, and emerge from the study of, Arabic literary production written in the aftermath of the 2011 political uprisings. Most of the contributions included in this volume were discussed at the EURAMAL meeting that was held at the University of Oslo in May 2016, whose general theme was “Upholding Humanity in a Posthuman World.” Under this title the contributors sought to explore the various ways Arab authors react to a reality that is dramatically changing since the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ and that seems to be characterised, on one hand, by technological and scientific advancement, and on the other, by a violent return to the primordial, the “savage” (EL-ARISS 2017).1
