This concluding chapter examines the notion that a genealogical rule of governance pervades Saudi Arabia in relation to Wahhabism and Islam. It suggests that Saudi Arabia's modern genealogical culture is a direct consequence of the rise of Salaf religiosity in the kingdom and that the acute genealogical consciousness of modern Saudi society is a form of bedouin tribal vengeance against modernity. Just as the economic paternalism of the Saudi state has influenced the discourse and strategies of al-Qaeda, the kingdom's economic model has played an important role in shaping its modern genealogical culture as well. The chapter also discusses Hamad al-Jāsir's genealogical project, which preceded the wholesale politicization of the Saudi oral culture, and argues that the attachment to the Arabian past that drove such project was real and visceral, rather than an ideological fetish encouraged or manufactured by the Saudi state.

Kinship Ties

This book examines why tribal genealogies continue to be a central facet of modern Saudi identity despite the erosion of kinship ties resulting from almost 300 years of religious conditioning, and despite the unprecedented material transformation of Saudi society in the oil age. It considers what accounts for the compulsion to affirm tribal belonging in modern Saudi Arabia by focusing on verse 49:13 of the Quran and the multiple contexts in which it is embedded in the kingdom. More specifically, the book asks why this verse is interpreted by so many Saudis as a license to assert their particularist tribal identities, while its ostensibly equalizing final clause is dismissed as an afterthought. It also explores the politicization of the Arabian oral culture by documenting the life and work of the Arabian genealogist and historian Hamad al-Jāsir.

History Of

Malaya Sadovaya, a short street in Leningrad/St. Petersburg, is similarly the name for a loosely organized social and cultural scene encompassing, among other frequent visitors, a number of young poets. In the history of Leningrad unofficial culture, the Malaya Sadovaya poets represent a significant shift from a primarily “oral” culture of informal public and semipublic readings to a new orientation toward printed works: in 1965, several of the MS poets published a samizdat “almanac” of their work, Fioretti. Along the same lines, Malaya Sadovaya can be seen as marking a path from officially sponsored creative-writing groups to a self-consciously unofficial culture, implicitly (and sometimes explicitly) opposed to the mainstream Soviet aesthetic.
