Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

For my project, I will select the main people that Hend encounters, either in her past or present, as points on her map. Each person will have one or more memories or representations of home connected to them. Hend often refers to different groups of people too, so I might include them as individual points as well. The points will be arranged in order in which she mentions them, but an arrow will also indicate the order of which she has met that person in her life. I will start off by using Hend’s son as a point, who represents Hend’s new home in America in the present and the future. The order of the points that follows is subject to change according to the ones I finalize on, but I have a few key ones in mind. This includes Hend’s mother, grandmother, father, husband, uncle, Mohammed the waiter, Abd al-Karim, and more. Perhaps I could include a younger Hend as a point as well. The chronology of the memories will help show how Hend’s thoughts and ideas of the meaning of home develop over the course of the novel. I think that home is primarily defined by the people who live in it, so I felt that this would be an appropriate way to map out how Hend’s definition of home is formed in al-Tahawy’s book.
