  • The Conflicting Transformations of the City in the Photographs of Contemporary Moroccan Artist Yto Barrada
    Uniconflicts 113 09 The conflicting transformations of the city in the photographs of contemporary Moroccan artist Yto Barrada Chourouq Nasri University Mohammed 1, Oujda, Morocco e-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Yto Barrada is a contemporary female Moroccan artist who uses photography to criticize the government policies concerning the city and its inhabitants. Her focus is on her hometown, Tangier, which she transforms into a series of pictures and forces us to perceive in a new way. In her photographs, Tangier is illustrated as a closed city, full of boundaries and walls. Its massive concrete buildings are similar and faceless; its new architecture is soulless and its urban development projects do not take into consideration the real needs of the community. In this chapter, I explore the way Barrada reflects on public space and the city in her photographs. Barrada’s work also includes films, publications, installations and sculptures, but my focus in this paper is on her photographs. Yto Barrada works with pictures and I work with words to engage in a debate concerned with urbanism and the city in Morocco. 114 Moroccan artist Yto Barrada There has always been a close link between art and architec- ture, especially in the early part of the twentieth century. City photography goes back to the beginning of the last century with photographers such as Walker Evans, Berenice Abbott and Eugène Atget. In Cities and Photography, Jane Tormey explains how “photographic representations translate the city for us and con- tribute to how we conceive it, as they visualize changing attitudes to the world and ourselves” (xiv).

  • SECULARISM NARRATIVES and ARAB AMERICAN FICTION a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell Univer
    SECULARISM NARRATIVES AND ARAB AMERICAN FICTION A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Danielle Aberle Haque May 2014 © 2014 Danielle Aberle Haque SECULARISM NARRATIVES AND ARAB AMERICAN FICTION Danielle Haque, PhD Cornell University 2014 “Secularism Narratives and Arab American Fiction” focuses on contemporary fiction’s challenge to the liberal political construction of minority religious practices and community life as incompatible with modernity, progress, and secularism. U.S. secularism is not simply the absence of religion from the public sphere, but is underwritten by a particularly U.S. Protestant conception of religion that has historically shaped assumptions about what it means to be both religious and secular in the United States. Looking to Mohja Kahf, Rabih Alameddine, Ninar Esber, Mouir Fatmi, and Hasan Elahi, I explore immigrant narratives that work outside religious/secular binaries; rather than operating unequivocally within the terms of religious categorizations, contemporary writers often recast those terms and respond to the secularism narrative by scrambling the terms of the religious/secular binary through lived, embodied religious experience. These works dispute the dominant United States narrative of secularism and its claim to be universal and progressive; rather, they reveal how prohibitory secularism enforces an exclusionary citizenry through racialized immigration policies, Islamaphobic political rhetoric and popular culture, and the promotion of specific economic forms and ideologies worldwide. I argue that secularism is entangled with global ideologies of human rights, but also with the particularly United States legal discourses of privacy and property.

  • February 11 — March 18
    FEBRUARY 11 — MARCH 18 H&R Block Artspace at the Kansas City Art Institute kcai.edu/artspace @hrblockartspace Vito Acconci American, born 1940 Wav(er)ing Flag, 1990 lithograph Gift of Landfall Press, Collection of the Kansas City Art Institute Vito Acconci, who began his career as a poet, gained renown (and infamy) in the 1970s for performance-based work through which he challenged borders between public and private space and interrogated the limits of his own body. roughout his performative work and subsequent sculpture, installation, and architecture have run interests in language, power, and the body/self in relationship to space and society. Included have been a number of prints, sculptures and installations incorporating ags, including architectural “houses” in which viewers are literally walled-in by American and/or Soviet ags, as well as a more generalized Flag Full of Holes (1988), which is precisely what the title describes. Wav(er)ing Flag, a suite of six color lithographs that combine to form a 12-foot long American ag, reects many of Acconci’s ongoing concerns, both as it pushes beyond the borders of the conventional print format and as it challenges the authority of ag, deconstructing its symbolic power and complicating its meanings. Here, the text of the Pledge of Allegiance (written in 1887, adopted by Congress in 1942, and to which “under God” was added in 1954) is brought into conversation with the ag itself, breaking down into fragments—literally falling apart—as it stretches across the stripes of this absurdly long ag. Exemplifying Acconci’s dexterity manipulating language and use of repetition as formal and conceptual strategy, the blue text above and below the pledge interrogates the notions of unity, strength, and the freedom “for which it stands.” Words like “fame,” “mad,” “rich,” “un,” and “lie”, are called out as alternate assessments of the nation’s character, while pairings such as “peg/leg” “fag/lag,” “us/just,” “edge/ledge,” and “divisible/die” allude to its vulnerability.

  • Calligraphic Animation
    417930ANMXXX10.1177/1746847711417930MarksAnimation: An Interdisciplinary Journal Article Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal 6(3) 307–323 Calligraphic Animation: © The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permission: Documenting the Invisible sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1746847711417930 anm.sagepub.com Laura U. Marks Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada Abstract Calligraphic animation shifts the locus of documentation from representation to performance, from index to moving trace. Animation is an ideal playing field for the transformative and performative qualities that Arabic writing, especially in the context of Islamic art, has explored for centuries. In Islamic traditions, writing sometimes appears as a document or a manifestation of the invisible. Philosophical and theological implications of text and writing in various Islamic traditions, including mystic sciences of letters, the concept of latency associated with Shi‘a thought, and the performative or talismanic quality of writing, come to inform contemporary artworks. A historical detour shows that Arabic animation arose not directly from Islamic art but from Western-style art education and the privileging of text in Western modern art – which itself was inspired by Islamic art. A number of artists from the Muslim and Arab world, such as Mounir Fatmi (Morocco/France), Kutlug Ataman (Turkey), and Paula Abood (Australia) bring writing across the boundary from religious to secular conceptions of the invisible. Moreover, the rich Arabic and Islamic tradition of text-based art is relevant for all who practice and study text-based animation. Keywords animation, calligraphy, colonialism, documentary, Islamic art, modernism, Mounir Fatmi, mysticism, performativity, text-based art A number of artists in the Muslim and Arab world produce films and videos that animate the writ- ten word: works we can call calligraphic animation.
