These books offer a reading/writing of Moroccan history that diverges with the mainstream version(s), to say the least. His other publications include the following. Les Boucs (1955), Une Enquête au pays (1982), La Mère du printemps (l'Oum er- Bia)(1982)Mort au Canada (1983), La Civilisation, ma Mère!... (1984), D'Autres voix, Mohammedia, (1986), Naissance à l'aube (1986), Le Maroc des hauteurs (Photos) (1986), L'Inspecteur Ali (1991), and L'Homme du livre. Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine came from an Amazigh family from southern Morocco. This south, especially the towns of Tafraout, Tiznit, and Agadir are always present in his writings. Khaïr- Eddine was famous for his unbridled sense of freedom, making him one of the most controversial figures of Moroccan literature in French. Along with Abdellatif Laâbi and Mustapha Nissabory, Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine launched the artistic journal Souffles in 1966. This publication sent a strong signal that Moroccan Francophone literature was there to stay, but on its own terms. It signaled the end of the era that put the ideological message in writing before artistic expression. Khaïr-Eddine's writings defy all conventions and put all artistic and political suppositions into question. This was clear even in his first book Agadir (1967). Subsequent works confirmed the rebel in Khaïr-Eddine. He proclaimed himself a "linguistic guerilla" with the goal of claiming new ground for unrestrained artistic expression. His works include: Corps négatif suivi de Histoire d'un Bon Dieu (1968), Soleil Arachnide (1969), Moi l'Aigre(1970), Le Déterreur (1973), Ce Maroc! (1975), Une odeur de mantèque (1976), Une vie, un rêve, un peuple, toujours errant (1978), Résurrection des fleurs sauvages (1981), and Légende et vie d'Agoun'chich (1984). Key Literature Figures 1 of 13 Abdelkarim Ghellab (b. 1919) Ghellab's received his education at the Al-Qarawiyyin University of Fes and Cairo University where he got his BA in Arabic Literature. When he returned to Morocco he worked in many different government administration, especially Foreign Affairs and education. He is the current editor in chief of rightwing opposition Independence Party (H'izb Al-Istiqlal). Of all the writers that Morocco has produced since the turn of the century, Ghellab is probably the oldest and the most influential. As a senior founding member of the Moroccan Writers' Union and as the editor of the A'alam daily newspaper and its literary supplement, Ghellab wields much influence on the country's intellectual circles and the cultural life as a whole. His views on social and cultural issues, especially those of Arabization, modernism, and cultural diversity, are reminiscent of Salafi schools of thought. Ghellab's writings cover a wide range of disciplines, especially fiction, literary criticism and politics. The four novels he published between 1965 and 1988 emphasize the bourgeois perspective from which Ghellab looks at recent Moroccan history. He is frequently criticized for over-emphasizing the role played by the urban bourgeois classes in the struggle for independence and glossing over the hardships that the poorer rural areas of Morocco underwent for the same cause. Dafanna Al-Mad'i ( We Burried the Past) (1968) and Lm'aallam Ali (Master Ali) (1971) are both set against the backdrop of French military presence in urban centers and how the educated elite of the cities organized anti-French resistance. These two novels offer good illustrations of Ghellab's tendency to lapse into a type of revisionist history where the role of the urban elites is highlighted. Ghellab published two other novels: Saba'at 'abwab (Seven Doors) (1965) and Wa A'ada Azzawraqu 'ila Annaba'i (The Boat Returned to the Source) (1988). He also published several books on literary issues for example Maa'a Al-'adab wa Al-'udaba-' (On Literature and Literary Figures) (1974) and A'alam Shaa'ir Al-H'amra-' (The World of the Poet of the Red Town --Marrakech) (1981). His political books include: Tarikh Al-H'araka Al-Wataniya bilmaghrib (A History of the Nationalist Movement in Morocco) (1987), Fi Al-Fikr Assiyasi (On Political Thought) (1992) and Maa'rakatuna Al-A'arabiya fi Muwajahati Al-'istia'mar (Our Arab Struggle Against Colonialism) (1967). Tahar Ben Jelloun is certainly one of the better known Maghrebi intellectuals, but he is also one of the more controversial. Some critics attack him for being "auto-exoticizing," claiming his fiction has little other purpose than titillating the occidental reader. In fact, Ben Jelloun, winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt in 1987, is a writer of remarkable talent who alternates between realistic fiction and the fantastic, with the self-proclaimed aim of emphasizing the "irréalisme de l'écriture." Among his better known novels are Harrouda, Moha le fou, Moha le sage, L'enfant du sable, La Nuit Sacrée, and L'Homme rompu. He has also published poems, his first collection appearing in 1972 (Cicatrices du soleil) and his most recent in 1993 (La Remontée des cendres). He is the translator of Mohamed Choukri's novel Le pain nu (1990) from Arabic. Having studied Social Psychology in Paris, Ben Jelloun has also published an essay on the situation of North African immigrant workers in France called La plus haute des solitudes (1977). Abdelkébir Khatibi is probably one of the most influential Moroccan literary figures both as a novelist and critic. His work is informed by his Moroccan and Arabo-Islamic heritage as well as by Western philospohies such as deconstruction. Among his most discussed works are La Mémoire tatoué: autobiographie d'un décolonisé (1971), Le Lutteur de classe à la manière taoiste (1977), De la mille et troisième nuit (1980), Maghreb pluriel (1983), Amour bilingue (1983), Dédicace à l'année qui vient (1986), Figures de l'étranger dans la littérature francaise (1987), Par-dessus l'épaule (1988), Pardoxes Du sionisme (1990), and Un été à Stockholm (1990). Khatibi has also Key Literature Figures 2 of 13 written a drama, Le Prophète voilé (1979). Abdellatif Laâbi was a founding figure in postcolonial Moroccan Francophone literature. He is a prolific poet. The themes and issues that Laâbi deals engages critically in his writings have led him to a dramatic conflict with the Moroccan security which at one point resulted in an 8 year imprisonment in a facility reserved for dissident intellectuals. Laâbi's works include Race (1967), L'Arbre de fer fleurit (1974), Le Règne de la barbarie suivi de Poèmes oraux(1976), Histoire des sept crucifiés de l'espoir (1977), Chroniques de la citadelle d'exil (1978),Anthologie de la poesie palestinienne (1990), Pour les droits de l'homme: histoire(s), image(s), et parole(s) (1989), Discours de la colline arabe (1985), Je t'aime au rés de la mort (1988), L'Écorché vif: prosoèmes (1986), L'Oeil et la nuit: roman itinéraire (1969), Le Baptême chacaliste (1987), Le Chemins des ordalies (1987), Les Rides du lion (1989), Narration du déluge (1986), Saida et les voleurs de soleil (1986), Sous le bâillon, le poéme: écrits de prison, 1972-1980 (1981), and Tous les déchirements (1990). Mohammed Aziz El-Hababi (1922-1993) El-Hababi's did most of his schooling in France where he received a Ph. D. in literature. He was then appointed dean of the University of Rabat. He also Taught at the University of Algiers. El-Hababi was one of the founding members of the Moroccan Writers Union and became its first president in 1961. He was the editor in chief of two publications: Takamul Al-Maa'rifa and Dirasat Falasfya wa 'adabiyah. In Morocco El-Hababi is best known as leading figure in philosophy and literary theory. His main areas of investigation were Islamic philosophy and the contemporary trends in Western thought, especially 'personnalism' on which he wrote his Ph. D. thesis as well published many articles and books. Among his published works there are two novels: Jil Aththama' (The Generation of Thirst) (1967) and 'iksir Al-H'ayat (The Elixir of Life) (1974). He published two collections of poems: Bu's wa Diyaa' (Misery and Light) (1962) and Yatim Tah'ta Assifr (Sub-Zero Orphan) (1988). El-Hababi's most extensively published in French. The following are some of the most important titles he produced: De l'être à la personne: essai d'un personnalisme réaliste (1954), and Le Monde de demain: Le Tiers monde accuse (1980). Mostafa Nissabory is another writer consider part of the post-colonial "new generation of Moroccan Francophone writers." Although not as prolific as Mohammed Khair-Eddine and Abdellatif Lâabi, he, too, played a major role in the experimental publications, beginning in 1964 with Poésie Toute.

  • Karima LAACHIR University of London
    25 Beyond Language Determinism: Multilingual Literary Traditions in Morocco Karima LAACHIR University of London Linguistic and cultural diversity in the Maghreb have not been explored adequately in the field of literary and cultural studies. This paper raises the problematic separation of the Moroccan novel written in Arabic and French in literary and critical studies. It provides a critique of the way Moroccan novels in French have been excluded from the literary field of Arabic literature despite their strong affiliation with the cultural history of Arabic literature. In the field of Francophone studies, the focus on Moroccan novel in French has completely excluded Moroccan novels in Arabic which has resulted in a shallow conception of the transmitted cultural heritage and in obscuring the cultural histories from which these texts emerge. It also obscures the “cohabitation” of French with other languages in the region (Dobie 2003: 33). This paper argues against these dominant reading practices that are based on linguistic determinism as they have contributed to the marginalisation of Moroccan literary traditions within dominant literary systems such as the Francophone/French or Arabic traditions and therefore, have obscured the cultural, linguistic and historical entanglement of these multilingual literary traditions. Morocco’s complex multilingual scene predated French and Spanish colonialism (1912- 1956) as languages such as Darija or spoken Moroccan Arabic, Fusha or standard Arabic and various spoken dialects of Amazigh, as well as Judeo-Arabic and Judeo-Spanish shaped the oral and written cultures of Morocco. The arrival of French and Spanish languages further complicated the picture, particularly as the French pursued a colonial policy of imposing French as the sole language of education and administration.

  • Chronicles of Disappearance: the Novel of Investigation in the Arab World, 1975-1985
    Chronicles of Disappearance: The Novel of Investigation in the Arab World, 1975-1985 By Emily Lucille Drumsta A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Margaret Larkin, Chair Professor Chana Kronfeld Professor Karl Britto Professor Stefania Pandolfo Summer 2016 © 2016 Emily Lucille Drumsta All Rights Reserved Abstract Chronicles of Disappearance: The Novel of Investigation in the Arab World, 1975-1985 by Emily Lucille Drumsta Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Margaret Larkin, Chair This dissertation identifies investigation as an ironic narrative practice through which Arab authors from a range of national contexts interrogate certain forms of political language, contest the premises of historiography, and reconsider the figure of the author during periods of historical upheaval. Most critical accounts of twentieth-century Arabic narrative identify the late 1960s as a crucial turning point for modernist experimentation, pointing particularly to how the defeat of the Arab Forces in the 1967 June War generated a self-questioning “new sensibility” in Arabic fiction. Yet few have articulated how these intellectual, spiritual, and political transformations manifested themselves on the more concrete level of literary form. I argue that the investigative plot allows the authors I consider to distance themselves from the political and literary languages they depict as rife with “pulverized,” “meaningless,” “worn out,” or “featureless” words. Faced with the task of distilling meaning from losses both physical and metaphysical, occasioned by the traumas of war, exile, colonialism, and state violence, these authors use investigation to piece together new narrative forms from the debris of poetry, the tradition’s privileged mode of historical reckoning.

  • Nvitality and Dynamismo Déjeux Have Both Suggested in Their Own Writings
    Anti-colonial literature is not necessarily ‘combat literature’ as Fanon and nVitality and Dynamismo Déjeux have both suggested in their own writings. While it is often com- bative, there is also anti-colonial literature that emphasizes the human and the humane rather than the oppositional and contentious; it cannot be fair to label all anti-colonial literature as combative, even if one were to expand the definition of ‘combat’ to include peaceful struggles against oppression or dehumanization. This book suggests that the relationship between the West and the rest of the world has been imagined as a relationship of Self (the West) to Other (the rest of the world), ordered and bordered geographically by the whims of Europeans and creating a Center-Periphery paradigm. These invented boundaries of humanity serve to separate geographical sites, but more, they serve to enclose the Empire and exoticize other cultures. Boundaries are often spatial, but more often, they are related to relationships and co- Stewart Devin J. Elbousty, M. Youness Edited by Kirstin Ruth Bratt, lonialization.

  • 'Reading Together' Moroccan Novels in Arabic and French Karima Laachir
    1 This is the accepted version of the article ‘The aesthetics and politics of ‘reading together’ Moroccan novels in Arabic and French’ published by Taylor and Francis in the Journal of North African Studies, 21 (1) pp.22- 36. Published version available at: 10.1080/13629387.2015.1084098 Accepted Version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/22156/ The Aesthetics and Politics of ‘Reading Together’ Moroccan Novels in Arabic and French Karima Laachir (SOAS, University of London) (email: [email protected]) Abstract This paper attempts to break down the common practices of reading multilingual Moroccan novels, particularly Moroccan postcolonial novels in Arabic and French. I argue that dominant reading practices are based on binary oppositions marked by a reductionist understanding of language and cultural politics in Morocco. They place the Moroccan novel in Arabic and French in independent traditions with the presupposition that they have no impact on each other, thereby reifying each tradition. They also ignore the similar historical, social and cultural context from which they novels emerge, and tend to reinforce the marginalization of the Moroccan novel within hegemonic single language literary systems such as the Francophone or Arabic literary traditions. I advocate ‘reading together’ –or an entangled comparative reading of— postcolonial Moroccan novels in Arabic and French; a reading that privileges the specificity of the literary traditions in Morocco rather than language categorisation, and that considers their

Furthermore, words alone are hardly adequate to fully express my gratitude for the kindness and guidance each and every one awarded me during these four years of joy, satisfaction, and difficulties between Fez and Rabat in Morocco, Brussels in Belgium, Halle in Germany, as well as the many cities which hosted conferences and other academic events I took part in. I must begin this list of acknowledgments by thanking the financial support I received from the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS) in Belgium, without which any research would have been impossible in the first place. Deep and sincere thanks go to those who, in one way or another, made my research possible: Jawad Yousfi and his family for their warm welcome in their house and for the many discussions and debates we had, Abdelhay Mezzour for his support and help with the Ziyarates

However, in Morocco the novel has become an emblematic genre, which has known a momentous development. This article attempts a critical analysis of three recently published Arabic novels (Morocco) from a cultural studies perspective by highlighting the translational dimensions inherent in their writing, as well as their tendency to redirect attention to more urgent issues related to Moroccan identity.
