Avr. 2017 J N° Re<!U CLT I CIH I ITH Le [~ AVR. 2017 J N° ...... ... .... 01.;}~ ........ .... .. Shadi AI Hallaq, son of storyteller (Hakawati) of Damascus, Rasheed AI Hallaq My work focuses on intangible cultural heritage in the area of Shadow Play (Karagoz and Hacivat. locally known as Karagoz and Hacivat) Shadow Play consists of focusing a light source through colourful translucent shadow puppets against a white screen. The puppets are custom made of the genuine skin of animals such as cows, goats, camels and donkeys for this specific type of show. They are made in a particular way so as to make them translucent, and coloured with plant-based dyes which give the puppets a colourful makeover against the fabric during the shows. I still hold such performances; however, I have struggled to safeguard this endangered cultural heritage, given the current political situation in the Syrian Arab Republic. Please note that since 1993 and up until this day, I have been the only person practicing this art, which has been documented in printed and visual media, both national and international. I have involved the local community and organised a one-day workshop to train Syrian volunteers. Also, I held a live Shadow Play performance for children to help them make their own puppets on the following day and perform their own puppet show which, indeed, took place and revolved around the characters of Karagoz and Hacivat. There have been numerous contributions from Syria and other parts of the world since 1993. I also took part in conserving old puppets, which were made 400-600 years ago, by displaying them in Azm Palace Museum of Folklore in Damascus. These items have been documented in a book which is currently in print and gives a detailed account of Shadow Play with an explanatory caption for each item displayed at the museum. I wish to support the inscription of this endangered Syrian cultural heritage (Shadow Play) on the UNESCO's Safeguarding List and continue to engage audiences directly by holding such performances and organising workshops that teach this heritage and ensure its continuity.

I live in Aljisr Alabyad; in my childhood public festivals were held in Aljisr Alabyad Square where we played the traditional Qabeeno and Jaeeso game and attended a Karagoz and Hacivat puppet show. The celebration for us meant Karagoz and Hacivat. No two stories were the same and we always learned new things. We spent our time celebrating in the square by watching Karagoz and Hacivat show which was the most important event at the festival. My sister, Bariaa AI-Ghazi, was an actor on the national Syrian TV channel; she acted in plays such as Queen Bee. Art evokes my memories and is connected with my Damascene identity. The tales that are told in theatre are part of our heritage and tell us about the city of Damascus and its life. I would like to safeguard this heritage and ensure its continuity for future generations in order to preserve our Syrian heritage. Therefore, I call for its inscription on the UNESCO's World Heritage Lists, which would aid with its protection. llham AI-Ghazi 25/12/2016 I, the undersigned, Tala Jouni, join in the call for the inscription of Karagoz and Hacivat on the UNESCO's Heritage List, in my capacity as a participant and concerned member of the local community. I make sure my children attend any activity germane to Karagoz and Hacivat which is both entertaining and beneficial to the younger generations. Talah Jouni Latakia Governorate 15/12/2016 2.

    Al-Mawred Al-Thaqafi (Culture Resource) Organization launched in 2009 a regional initiative aims to identify the main features of cultural policy in Arab countries. The ultimate goal is to build a Knowledge Base that supports cultural planning and collaboration in the region, as well as propose mechanisms to develop cultural work in Arab countries. First stage of the project targeted preliminary surveys of policies, legislations, and practices that guide cultural work in eight Arab countries: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. The process of Monitoring was conducted in the period between May 2009 and January 2010 by Arab researchers from all eight countries, and thus “Ettijahat. Independent culture” as the regional coordinator of the project developed the surveys and updated its information and data through specialized researchers who reviewed the information and amended it based on the most recent developments in the cultural scene. The study has been completed according to the Compendium model which is adopted in study about cultural policies around the world. Research is divided into the following: 1- Cultural context from a social and historical perspective. 2- Administrative Subsidiarity and decision-making. 3- General objectives and principles of cultural policies. 4- Current topics debated in cultural policy development. 5- Main legal texts in the cultural field. 6- Financing of culture events and institutions. 7- Cultural institutions and new partnerships. 8- Supporting creativity and collaborations.

  • Damascus Control Emboldens Assad Nationally | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 2665 Damascus Control Emboldens Assad Nationally by Fabrice Balanche Aug 2, 2016 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Fabrice Balanche Fabrice Balanche, an associate professor and research director at the University of Lyon 2, is an adjunct fellow at The Washington Institute. Brief Analysis Without a real military threat to the capital, neither the Syrian leader nor Iran will accept a political transition, even if Russia agrees to one. N ote: Click on maps to access high-resolution versions. The next round of Geneva peace negotiations for Syria is set to begin this month, but President Bashar al-Assad's recently tightened grip over Damascus already has the Syrian opposition in a tough spot. Indeed, focus on the battle of Aleppo, where regime forces have also advanced recently (see "Kurdish Forces Bolster Assad in Aleppo" ), has distracted attention from the Syrian army's slow but sure recapture of the rebel-held outskirts of the Syrian capital. Creating a Favorable Demographic Balance for the Regime S ince the 1970s, the Syrian army has had a considerable presence in the Damascus area, with large military bases occupying the south and west of the capital. Officially, this military posture has been intended to protect Damascus against Israel, given that the Golan front is some fifty kilometers away. The unofficial goal of this setup, designed by former president Hafiz al-Assad, was better control of Damascus. Bashar's father believed that whoever held Damascus held Syria. Part of the elder Assad's effort to control Damascus after seizing power in a coup in November 1970 was to station tens of thousands of troops, along with Alawite officials and their families, in the city.

ABSTRACT IN ITALIANO Dopo anni di atrocità, solo perseguibilità dei crimini e giustizia potranno ricucire la società siriana, aprendo la strada alla riconciliazione e alla pace. Lo scopo di questa tesi è cercare di capire come ciò sarà possibile, avvalendosi degli strumenti del diritto internazionale umanitario da un lato e del diritto internazionale penale dall’altro. La tesi può infatti essere divisa in due parti: la prima analizza le principali fattispecie criminose dei crimini internazionali commessi in Siria da tutte le parti in conflitto; la seconda esplora criticamente quali sono i possibili meccanismi di repressione di tali crimini. La tesi si articola in sei capitoli: il primo offre una panoramica sulla situazione siriana prima del 2011, sulle radici della rivolta e sulle fasi e gli attori del conflitto; il secondo cerca di
