This chapter provides an overview of archaeological discoveries relevant to ancient Judean life in the postexilic or Second Temple period (late sixth century bce–70 ce). It seeks to provide background information on the main cultural developments that would have impacted the authors and audience of the Writings, both in Judea and Samaria. One such development is Persian provincialization, which had only modest impact on the local economy and culture. Another consists of processes of acculturation to foreign customs in the Hellenistic period, which would remain slow and largely limited to elite circles. Jerusalem’s rise to international status as a Jewish pilgrimage center under Herodian auspices likely impacted the dissemination of local literatures and sacred texts, the Writings among them. Contemporaneous architecture and artifacts from the domestic sphere can speak to religious diversity and local identity politics as the region began to shift its orientation to the West and the economy grew.

This book draws on Edward Said, Aamir Mufti, Jacques Derrida, and world-systems theory to address the institutionalized construct of “world literature” from its origins in Goethe and Marx to the present day.  It argues that through its history, this construct has served to incorporate if not annul local literatures and the concept of “local literature” itself, and to universalize the novel, the lyric poem, and the stage play as the only literary forms appropriate to modernity.  It demonstrates this thesis through a comparative reading of the reinscription of the classical Arabic-Islamic concept of “adab” as “literature” in the modern, European sense in Egypt, Turkey, and Iran in the 19th to mid-20th centuries.  It then turns to the Middle Eastern novel in the global contexts of its production, translation, circulation, and reception today.  Through new readings of novels and other literary works by Abdelrahman Munif, Naguib Mahfouz, Orhan Pamuk, Azar Nafisi, Yasmin Crowther, and Marjane Satrapi, and with reference to landmarks of Middle Eastern and world literary history ranging from the Mu‘allaqāt and Alf Layla wa Layla to Don Quixote, it argues that these texts—like “world literature” itself—are constitutively haunted by specters of the literary forms and traditions, of the life-worlds that they expressed, cast aside by modernity.  In the case of the Middle Eastern novel, it is adab and all that it encompassed in the classical Arab-Islamic world that is suppressed or othered, but that spectral, yet returns in new, genuinely worldly constellations of form.

The 2013 Curriculum describes the core competencies (KI) into four aspects of competence, namely (1) spiritual, (2) social, (3) cognitive, and (4) psychomotor aspects. The spiritual and the social aspects of learning materials development is done in an integrated manner, namely through the development of cognitive aspects (knowledge) of KI 3, and psychomotor aspects (skills) of KI 4. Therefore, the integration literature values in the areas of learning may be one of the teacher's choices. The objective is to make the learning materials comply with students' schemata or insight. Based on the content analysis that has been done in some local literatures both in folklores and poetries, local literature contains a lot of character values. Thus, local literatures may contribute to the implementation of 2013 Curriculum, so that teachers can integrate them in the development of learning. Local literatures in Southeast Sulawesi such as; Oheo Folklore for Tolaki people, Wandoke-Doke te Lakolo-kolopua Folklore for Muna People, or Wandiu-Diu Folklore for Buton people contains a lot of character values, both in terms of spiritual and social values. Folk Songs such as Kabanti, Kantola also has similar values in the society; they have humanistic, moral, mutual assistance, hard work, discipline, and struggle values. Spiritual values in the local literatures, among others are, belief in the greatness of Allah SWT, confidence in God's grace in all its activities, and surrender to Allah. Character values on learning in the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum, among others are; discipline, hard work, honesty, responsibility, working together, affection, and respect. Thus, the values of the local literature or local culture is highly relevant to the values of character education, and therefore local literature values can be integrated in the learning area designed by teachers in the implementation of 2013 Curriculum, especially in developing KI 1 and KI 2 in learning.
