  • Civil Marriage in Lebanon
    Empowering Women or Dislodging Sectarianism?: Civil Marriage in Lebanon Sherifa Zuhurt In this article, I reflect on the proposed Lebanese civil marriage law, which initiated a political crisis in Lebanon in March of 1998 and was followed by an indefinite shelving of that proposed law. Many Westerners assume that women in today's Middle East passively submit to extreme male chauvinism and glaring legal inequalities. In fact, Middle Eastern women have been actively engaged in a quest for empowerment and equity through legal, educational, political, and workplace reforms for many decades, and through publication of their writings in some countries for over a century. Although women's rights were at stake in the proposed law, it is curious that many failed to perceive the connection between legal reform and women's empowerment. Those who understand this linkage only too well are the most frequent opponents of such legal reform, arguing that it will destroy the very fabric of society and its existing religious and social divisions. First, I will provide some information on the history of sectarianism (known as ta'ifzyya in Arabic) in Lebanon. The drama surrounding the proposed bill's debut will be followed by information on women's politically and socially transitional status in the country. I relate women's status to their inability to lobby effectively for such a reform. I will allude to similar or related regional reforms in the area of personal status in order to challenge the idea of Lebanon's exceptionalism. I then explore the politicized nature of the t Sherifa Zuhur holds a Ph.D.

While historically defensible, in that Egypt preceded these others in having its own studios and industry, such an assessment nonetheless tends to foreclose on the possibilities for those films inhabiting the “non-Egyptian” model ever be accorded the status of popular cinema. Moreover, where local distribution and exhibition for North African films has been historically partial or non-existent (due to commercial decisions that have historically favored Egyptian, Indian, and Euro-American productions), it has been difficult for many directors in countries like Morocco to avoid the charge that their films—which are often more visible in European festivals than at home—are made for other markets or audiences. Whether in sympathy with the idea of distinctive local or national cinemas and resistance to cultural hegemony, or in suspicion of the politics of international funding and coproduction, many critical treatments of non-Egyptian Arab films make of the popular an evaluative term that signifies local authenticity and a resistance towards European art cinema tendencies and that privileges commercial success over experimentation.

  • MJMES Volume IX
    Modes of Self-Representation among Female Arab Singers and Dancers – Natalie Smolenski Recent developments in the field of anthropology, especially feminist anthropology, have brought to light venues and forms of self-expression and self- construction that have classically undergone devaluation or neglect because they defy the formula of a linear, ‘objective’ textual narrative.1 In response to anthropologists who made self-consciousness, objectivity and development in conjunction with temporal progression criteria for ‘accurate’ self-representation, scholars have recently begun to reform the theoretical underpinnings of these assumptions because they privilege a form of self-expression – the heroic, individual- centered, narrative/autobiography – that has traditionally been the purview of Western male authors. Rather, they contend that any form of personal expression, whether verbal or non-verbal, explicit or implicit, that relates to the formulation, perpetualization, or reconceptualization of a ‘self’ with regards to a wider social ‘other’ falls under the rubric of ‘self-representation’. The shift in perspective allows us to investigate modes of self- representation employed by women, especially women with non-Western cultural backgrounds, more closely and accurately. Because women’s social power globally lags behind that of men, and because they do not as often as men record their experiences in written form through a first-person, ‘objective’ narrative perspective, perceiving the avenues through which they influence how others perceive them requires more nuanced observation. Female entertainers face an additional battle against preconceptions which place them in a morally ambiguous realm where they must constantly react to the male desire their work is supposed to elicit by denying or minimizing its importance in crafting both their decisions to work as entertainers and their identities as ‘respectable’ women.
