Ghada Samman’s most recent novel,? Farewell, Damascus ?is set in early 1960’s Damascus – a city that now languishes in the grip of corruption and political oppression following the Baathist takeover in Syria. The book opens as Zain Khayyal, a university student and aspiring young writer, plots an early-morning escape from her house as her husband slumbers. Her mission: to get an illicit abortion, plans for which she’s divulged to no one, and to announce that she wants out of her stifling marriage. A rebel and a trail-blazer par excellence, Zain draws down the wrath of polite society and the authorities, political and religious alike, as she challenges attitudes and practices that demean rather than dignify, and a ruling regime that sucks the life out of both oppressed and oppressor. As the plot unfolds, Zain finds her way as a student to a neighbouring country which, though it grants her the freedom, respect and appreciation she had lacked in her homeland, becomes a place of anguished exile. Armed with her accustomed humour, pathos and knack for suspense, Samman fearlessly tackles issues that roil societies across the globe to this day: the stigma that attaches to the divorced woman but not the divorced man; whether to choose a life partner for love, or for social status, prestige and material security; whether abortion is a crime or a means of forestalling needless undeserved suffering; lesbian intimacy as a declaration of freedom from male abuse and tyranny; rape as an instrument of humiliation and subjugation and unconditional acceptance as healing balm.? Farewell, Damascus ?is both a paean to a beloved homeland and an ode to human dignity.

法兰克福学派学者内部虽然存在着不同的思想趋势，但是他们思考着同一个核心问题：分裂社会中那些孤立的人们如何整合起来？对他们来说，现代资本主义社会的分裂有各种原因：或者是由于人为了征服外在自然而不得不征服内在自然，或者是由于生存斗争永恒化，或者是由于系统侵了生活世界，或者是由于人的非意愿性经验的丧失，等等。他们提出了许多不同的方法来解决这个问题：或者从文化的根子上重新反思，重构形而上学；或者从审美的角度重构人的自然；或者用对话来重建生活世界；或者是在相互斗争中达致相互承认；等等。这些不同的思路为我们批判资本主义，分析现代社会中所出现的类似问题提供了有益的参考。
