Radiografía de una evolución (Guillem Farrés Fernández) 207 3 CARTA DEL DIRECTOR Desde su fundación en 2006, Casa Árabe ha trabajado día a día con los objetivos de tender puentes, reforzar las relaciones políticas bilaterales y multila- terales, fomentar y acompañar las relaciones económicas, culturales y educativas, así como de mejorar, a través de la formación, la comprensión sobre el mundo árabe y musulmán. En los últimos años, los principios de interrelación y conocimiento mu- tuo sobre los que se ha venido construyendo la institución han propiciado innu- merables ocasiones para reflexionar de forma crítica y objetiva sobre todas las va- riables que influyen de una manera u otra en la construcción de múltiples facetas del «islam hoy», generando de esta manera corpus teóricos capaces de interpretar hechos. A raíz de esto, la práctica formativa en estas teorías ha llegado a consti- tuirse en un fin en sí misma; una formación, sin duda instrumental, que viene mejorando el conocimiento y el entendimiento mutuos. En este contexto, donde teoría y praxis van de la mano, se han desarro- llado infinidad de actividades. Por citar las más recientes: los cursos de formación del personal diplomático de la Unidad del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación (maec) sobre El islam hoy: fundamentos, prácticas y dimensión internacional; el Seminario de altos estudios sobre comunidades musulmanas en España, en el marco del proyec- to «Journey into Europe: Islam, Immigration and Empire» —una investigación sobre las comunidades musulmanas en el continente, dirigida por el embajador Akbar Ahmed, reconocido profesor y antropólogo de la American University (Washington D. C.)—; o las Noches de Ramadán, una clara apuesta por fomentar el conocimiento mutuo a través de la cultura. Con este nuevo número de Awraq, Casa Árabe presenta un balance entre el presente y el pasado del mundo árabo-islámico; una línea de trabajo que inci- de en la creciente y prioritaria necesidad que Occidente en general, y España en concreto, tiene de conocer el mundo árabe y musulmán, así como el conjunto de dinámicas y transformaciones que este vive en la actualidad. En definitiva, ocho artículos, en su parte temática, de reconocidos investigadores y académicos que abordan aspectos histórico-culturales y religiosos, escenarios políticos actuales, los aspectos económicos más relevantes, así como las distintas dinámicas que pre- sentan el islam y los musulmanes en Europa y en España. Eduardo López Busquets Director general de Casa Árabe AWRAQ n.º9. 2014 5 EL TEMA: ISLAM HOY LOS FUNDAMENTOS DEL PODER EN EL ISLAM1 Dolors Bramon Tal como indica el título, me centraré en el ámbito religioso y, como es obvio, en el del islam, pero creo oportuno rememorar de entrada la ingeniosa frase que suele atribuirse al escritor irlandés Georges B. Shaw cuando decía que «a ingleses y a americanos les separaba el hecho de hablar la misma lengua». Pa- rafraseándola, vale la pena establecer que «judíos, cristianos y musulmanes se separan —y se diferencian— por el hecho de creer en el mismo Dios». Es por ello que creo más conveniente hablar de «maneras de entender a Dios» y no tanto de «religiones», puesto que cada grupo monoteísta entiende el Ser Su- premo a su manera. ¿Cómo lo entienden los musulmanes? ¿Cómo debería fundamentarse, por tanto, el poder político entre ellos? Teniendo en cuenta lo enunciado, un gobierno islámico tendrá que enmarcarse dentro de las coordenadas del islam. Desde la muerte de su iniciador, el profeta Muhammad (632), sus seguidores de- cidieron organizar las creencias que constituyen su doctrina en cinco grandes bloques, llamados pilares, confiriendo al término pilar el sentido de ‘elemento que sostiene y soporta la estructura de la umma o comunidad del islam’. Los cinco pilares del islam El

    Sailing for Safe Abortion Access: The Emergence of a Conscious Social Nonmovement in Morocco By Julia Ellis-Kahana In partial fulfillment for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Sociology Brown University April 2013 Julia Ellis-Kahana ________________________________ Advisor Carrie Spearin ________________________________ First Reader Michael Kennedy ! ! ! ________________________________! ! ! Disclosures Research for this thesis has been completed with the support of: Royce Fellowship, Swearer Center for Public Service, Brown University, 2012-2013 Barbara Anton Internship Grant, Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women, Brown University, 2012-2013 Alice Rowan Swanson Fellowship, SIT Study Abroad, 2012 Acknowledgements I have so much gratitude for the multiple people who have made this project a reality. Carrie Spearin, my advisor, has been patient and understanding. Her pragmatism has enabled me to keep everything in perspective when I felt overwhelmed. Michael Kennedy is my first reader and his own experience of studying a social movement through engaged ethnography has been integral to the way he has guided my research. He has challenged me by asking the right questions at the right time. I have come to appreciate that both Professor Spearin’s and Professor Kennedy’s concern for my safety during this project was driven by their genuine parental instincts. Kerri Heffernan, the director of the Royce Fellowship Program at the Swearer Center for Public Service, has been an invaluable resource for me. She helped me realize that I needed to assemble a team of people at Brown who would believe in me to complete my research in the Netherlands and Morocco.

  • What the Women Say
    WHAT THE WOMEN SAY Morocco’s Dilemma: Rights and Reform or Closure and Conservatism? Civil Society Action Network International March 2015 Brief 13 Key Findings In a volatile region, Morocco is navigating a political space where both conservatives and progressives are present and vocal. Morocco has a progressive constitution, but new political actors and deepening Women’s Rights, Peace andSecurity Women’s Peace Rights, social conservatism threaten to reverse previous gains on equal rights. For Morocco needs bold leadership to fully implement its laws and transform the ICAN social and judicial status quo to allow for equality and social justice. In the last half of 2014, the Moroccan government has prevented activities of some women’s and human rights organizations without any credible explanation.

  • Human Rights and Social Movements in a Multicultural Context AFRS 3000 (3 Credits / 45 Hours)
    Human Rights and Social Movements in a Multicultural Context AFRS 3000 (3 credits / 45 hours) SIT Study Abroad Program: Morocco: Multiculturalism and Human Rights PLEASE NOTE: This syllabus represents a recent semester. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of unique learning opportunities, actual course content varies from semester to semester. Description This seminar aims to introduce students to the major current debates on the questions of human rights and social movements in the Moroccan hybrid political context. In the aftermath of the February 20, 2011 movement (the Moroccan version of the Arab Spring; since commonly known as the February 20 Movement), Morocco has witnessed many social protest movements across the country. These movements opened the door for a fundamental rethinking of the prevalent paradigms used to understand Moroccan political social dynamics. Students look at movements in terms of large-scale, dramatic events, while also paying close attention to the social infrastructure and actions of ordinary people that sustain movements on a daily basis. Using a perspective of "human rights practice" the focus is on analyzing how groups and organizations operationalize human rights, and view human rights through action rather than simply as legal norms. The seminar engages Moroccan academics, artists, civil society activists, policy makers and students in debates on the development of a multicultural society in a political hybrid regime. Learning Outcomes By the end of the course, students will

  • Civilization Sequence Program
    CIVILIZATION SEQUENCE PROGRAM A. SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS The number of students taking CVSP courses each year (including the summer) has remained around 3,500 since 2005-06. Demand has been greater this year for the core Sequence-I courses (64 sections of CVSP 201, 202 and 205 with about 26 students each) than Sequence-II (43 sections of CVSP 203 and 204). We have the capacity to offer another five sections of CVSP 205 and four sections of CVSP 203 in Fall and Spring semesters. Beyond that, it is difficult to see how we could meet any increase in student demand since the capacity of Bathish auditorium, where we hold common lectures, limits us to ten sections of a core course. We are conscious that CVSP is at the heart of the General Education policy of the university and has a correspondingly great obligation continually to improve the quality of our offerings. The ongoing process of reviewing the reading lists of our core courses CVSP 201 to 206 has led this year to two proposals. The readings in CVSP 201 were reduced to eight by taking Thucydides out of the previous list of readings and by substituting Antigone for Oedipus and Crito for The Apology . The idea behind these two moves was both to enable more time to be spent on each reading and to expand the pool of possible readings, for slow rotation into and out of those selected in any one year, since each reading reverberates differently with others: Antigone worked well as an alternative to Oedipus ; Crito perhaps less so, although some teachers valued its accessibility for students.

  • Colonial and Orientalist Veils
    Colonial and Orientalist Veils: Associations of Islamic Female Dress in the French and Moroccan Press and Politics Loubna Bijdiguen Goldmiths College – University of London Thesis Submitted for a PhD in Media and Communications Abstract The veiled Muslimah or Muslim woman has figured as a threat in media during the past few years, especially with the increasing visibility of religious practices in both Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts. Islamic dress has further become a means and technique of constructing ideas about the ‘other’. My study explores how the veil comes to embody this otherness in the contemporary print media and politics. It is an attempt to question constructions of the veil by showing how they repeat older colonial and Orientalist histories. I compare and contrast representations of the dress in Morocco and France. This research is about how Muslimat, and more particularly their Islamic attire, is portrayed in the contemporary print media and politics. My research aims to explore constructions of the dress in the contemporary Moroccan and French press and politics, and how the veil comes to acquire meanings, or veil associations, over time. I consider the veil in Orientalist, postcolonial, Muslim and Islamic feminist contexts, and constructions of the veil in Orientalist and Arab Nahda texts. I also examine Islamic dress in contemporary Moroccan and French print media and politics. While I focus on similarities and continuities, I also highlight differences in constructions of the veil. My study establishes the importance of merging and comparing histories, social contexts and geographies, and offers an opportunity to read the veil from a multivocal, multilingual, cross-historical perspective, in order to reconsider discourses of Islamic dress past and present in comparative perspective.

Challenges and Opportunities Facing Successful Women in Morocco Dr. Maia Hallward School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding and Development Kenensaw State University [email protected] Cortney Stewart School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding and Development Kenensaw State University [email protected] Over a decade since the passage of a revised family status code (mudawana) in Morocco, the literature varies in its assessment of the code’s impact on women’s rights and opportunities. While some studies point to the formal support for gender equality reflected in the revised code, others note that Moroccan women continue to face challenges in the social and symbolic spheres. Drawing on interviews conducted by the authors with women leaders in Morocco in 2016, this paper investigates the opportunities and obstacles these women have encountered in their personal journeys. The paper explores the extent to which elite background, work sector, religion, and legal codes affect women’s ascent to leadership roles and shares the women’s own views regarding improving women’s status.

  • David Joseph Wrisley METAFICTION MEETS MIGRATION: ART FROM
    Mashriq & Mahjar 2 (2013), 99-119 ISSN 2169-4435 David Joseph Wrisley M ETAFICTION MEETS MIGRATION: ART FROM THE ARCHIVES IN RABEE JABER’S AMERIKA Abstract The subject of this article is Rabee Jaber’s novel Amerika (2009) recounting the migration of a group of Syro-Lebanese to the United States on the eve of the First World War. It demonstrates how metafictional techniques—ironic narrator figures, flashbacks, dream-like scenes—allow Jaber to address the fine, yet shifting, line between fiction and history in the accounts of Arab migrations to the Americas. The article explores the creative rewriting of an essential intertext for Jaber, Kafka’s Amerika (The Man Who Disappeared) and asserts that the novel’s reflective uncertainty pervades both the way that a historical past can be represented and the way that the past is presented to a contemporary Lebanese audience. The article concludes by suggesting that the contrast between the two main characters, Martā Ḥaddād and Alī Jābir, is not only indicative of distinct kinds of migration, but, more abstractly, points to contrasting ideas about reading and writing the past. Rabee Jaber is a prolific, Arabic-language Lebanese writer and Amerika is his sixteenth novel.1 Written in four parts and 126 short chapters, Amerika is set on the eve of the First World War at the moment of the so-called First Wave of the Syro-Lebanese migration from Mount Lebanon to the United States. Amerika is only one of Jaber’s historical novels written in the first decade of the twentieth-first century to feature characters in motion, leaving their birth land and settling into lives in faraway places.
