![]() Our department was tiny and the seminar room was even tinier. One of the very first texts I read during my freshman year as a student of comparative literature at The American University in Cairo was Alifa Rifaat’s collection of short stories, A Distant View of a Minaret. Her two articles “Double Identity: Age Representation and the Female Doppelgänger in Carlos Fuentes’s Aura” and “Digital Doppelgänger: Between Self-Perception and Public Image” were published in 2015. Soliman, a freelance researcher and cultural consultant, is currently involved with several cultural entities such as The Library of Arabic Literature and the Dubai Literature Festival, among others. Her PhD studies revolve around the manifestation of the doppelgänger figure across mediums in contemporary culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() She is currently an external PhD student of Intercultural Studies at University College London.
