Este trabalho enfoca dois romances egípcios traduzidos para o inglês: City of Love and Ashes, de Yusuf Idris, escrito em 1955 e publicado em 1956, e War in the Land of Egypt, de Yusuf al-Qa\'id, escrito em 1975 e publicado em Beirute em 1978. Ao tematizar a libertação nacional no centro da ação do enredo, ambos veicularam críticas ao regime militar instalado após o golpe de junho de 1952, mas por caminhos distintos. Enquanto a obra de Idris apresenta um enredo otimista que dispensa o exército e assim constitui uma espécie de história alternativa, o texto de al-Qa\'id levanta um ataque frontal às instituições estatais do país, mas termina por reforçar sua presença e mandato. A comparação dos dois romances expõe a complexidade política crescente que a existência prolongada do exército no poder representou para a intelectual crítica egípcia. / This work focuses on two Egyptian novels translated to English: City of Love and Ashes, by author Yusuf Idris, written in 1955 and published in 1956, and War in the Land of Egypt, by Yusuf al-Qa\'id, written in 1975 and published in Beirut in 1978. By framing national liberation at the core of the plot\'s action, both have aired criticisms of the military regime implemented by the coup of June 1952, but through distinct paths. While Idris\' work present an optimistic plot that foregoes the army and thus constitutes a sort of alternative history, al-Qa\'id\'s text deploys a frontal attack on the state institutions of the country, but ends up reinforcing its presence and mandate. The comparison of these two novels exposes the growing political complexity that the prolonged existence of the army in power represented to the Egyptian critical intelligentsia.

In 1952 Gamal Abdel Nasser and his clique of disaffected young officers launched ‘the Free Officer’s Coup,’ deposing the monarchy, overturning the parliamentary system, and launching a durable regime that defined the face of Egypt in the second half of the twentieth century. This thesis examines the relationship between Nasser and Egypt’s intellectuals, and takes preeminent writers Naguib Mahfouz and Yusuf Idris to reveal the social environment in which this relationship took place. The literary and historical evidence reveals a lively relationship of contestation, critique, accommodation, dependence, and acclamation. Promulgating reformist domestic policies and defiantly nationalist foreign policies, Nasser earned legitimization from intellectuals. His regime endeavored to establish hegemony over Egyptian civil society, an effort resisted and repulsed by intellectuals. Inspired by the most relevant theoretical literature on intellectuals, namely the work of Julien Benda, Antonio Gramsci, and Edward Said, this thesis reveals responsibilities and challenges faced by intellectuals everywhere.

One of the more important processes of Middle Eastern history is that of the transformation of the Ottoman Empire into the Turkish national state. The present dissertation demonstrates how Yusuf Akçura, a significant figure in this process, recognized in 1904 the forces making for the emergence of a Turkish nation and was the first to call for the political reconstruction of the Ottoman Empire on the basis of Turkish nationalism.

This thesis offers an interpretation of the Qatar-based Egyptian Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi's contribution to "tajdid al-fiqh," the "renewal" of the Islamic fiqh tradition. In the wake of the transformations wrought on the fiqh tradition during the colonial period, it is the "modern project" (to borrow Talal Asad's term) for tajdid al-fiqh instigated by Muhammad 'Abduh and Rashid Rida that this thesis uses to enter the discussion. Al-Qaradawi lays claim to their legacy, and this thesis is particularly concerned with the engagement between himself and his interlocutors in the unusual context of Qatar. These "translocal" networks facilitate al-Qaradawi's involvement in debates in other contexts in the region, particularly in Egypt and the wider Arabian Peninsula. Each of this thesis's thematic chapters will make a different case for understanding al-Qaradawi's borrowing, reconstructing, reviving or transforming certain concepts and ideas. In so doing it will show that al-Qaradawi, as representative of the contemporary ʿulamaʾ as a whole, is not part of a scholar-class that have been either marginalized or entirely co-optated by the state. Instead, they are a group of scholars that have utilized new media technologies and other supportive networks to continually promote themselves in the Arab public sphere, as they sought to adapt their tradition to the Middle East region's new context, debates and conditions.
