Country borders currently pose a challenge to an artist’s mobility and so it becomes important to create new work spaces and meeting places which allow for the preservation of the vital links and intercultural dialogue at the heart of these programs. The training programs were created through a process of reflection and ongoing exchange with the artists and pedagogical experts who were initially involved in training sessions that were scheduled to take place in Aix during the 2020 edition of the Festival d’Aix. Through these newly adapted programs, the Académie du Festival d’Aix continues to defend its values which include artistic excellence, innovation, the expression of cultural diversity, and activities which promote social inclusion.

  • Amin Maalouf (1949-)
    Amin Maalouf (1949-) 190714 Bibliotheca Alexandrina Établi par Abir Abdallah Revisé par Alaa Mahmoud Biographie min Maalouf est Né à Beyrouth, il passe les premières années de son enfance en Égypte, patrie d’adoption de son grand-père maternel, lequel a fait fortune dans le A commerce à Héliopolis. De retour au Liban, sa famille s’installe dans le quartier cosmopolite de Badaro à Beyrouth en 1935 où elle vit la majeure partie de l’année, mais passe l’été à Machrah, village du Mont-Liban dont les Maalouf sont originaires. Son père, journaliste très connu au Liban, également poète et peintre, est issu d'une famille d’enseignants et de directeurs d'école. Ses ancêtres, catholiques romains, grec-catholiques, orthodoxes, mais aussi athées et francs-maçons, se sont convertis au protestantisme presbytérien au XIXe siècle. Sa mère est issue d’une famille francophone et maronite, dont une branche vient d’Istanbul, ville hautement symbolique dans l’imaginaire d’Amin Maalouf, la seule qui soit mentionnée dans chacune de ses œuvres. La culture du nomadisme et du « minoritaire » qui habite son œuvre s’explique sans doute en partie par cette multiplicité des patries d’origine de l’écrivain, et par cette impression d’être toujours étranger : chrétien dans le monde arabe, ou arabe en Occident. Les études primaires d’Amin Maalouf se déroulent à Beyrouth dans une école française de pères jésuites, le collège Notre-Dame de Jamhour, tandis que ses trois sœurs étudient à l’école des religieuses de Besançon. Ses premières lectures se font en arabe, y compris les classiques de la littérature occidentale, mais ses premières tentatives littéraires, secrètes, se font en français, qui est pour lui, à cette époque, la « langue d'ombre », par opposition à la « langue de lumière », l’arabe.

  • OJAI at BERKELEY PETER SELLARS, Music DIRECTOR
    OJAI MUSIC FESTIVAL OJAI AT BERKELEY PETER SELLARS, MuSIC DIRECTOR To mark the milestone 70th Ojai Music Festival, renowned director Peter Sellars returns as the 2016 music director. Sellars’ partnership with Ojai dates back to 1992, when he di- rected a daring staged version of Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du soldat with music director Pierre Boulez. The three Ojai programs presented in Berkeley this month mark the sixth year of artistic partnership between the festival and Cal Performances and represent the combined efforts of two great arts organizations committed to innovative and adventur- ous programming. Paris, Salzburg Festival, and San Francisco Opera, among others, and has established a rep- utation for bringing 20th-century and contem- porary operas to the stage, including works by Hindemith, Ligeti, Messiaen, and Stravinsky. Sellars has been a driving force in the cre- ation of many new works with longtime collab- orator John Adams, including Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer, El Niño, Doctor Atomic, A Flowering Tree, and The Gospel According to the Other Mary. Inspired by the compositions of Kaija Saariaho, Sellars has guided the creation of productions of her work that have expanded the repertoire of modern opera. Desdemona, a collaboration with Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison and Malian composer and singer Rokia Traoré, was co-commissioned by Cal Performances and re- ceived its uS premiere here in Berkeley. Other projects with Cal Performances in- clude John Adams’ I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, George Crumb’s The Wings of Destiny (with soprano Dawn upshaw at the 2011 Ojai Festival), and The Peter Sellars (music director, Ojai Music Festival Peony Pavilion.

  • French Literature 1950–2000: an Anthology
    French literature 1950–2000: An Anthology Edited by Sharad Chandra French literature 1950–2000: An Anthology Edited by Sharad Chandra 1 Preface Compiling this anthology has been a great delight for me in spite of the arduous task of making selections—of authors and of excerpts, since in literature it is never easy to decide whom to keep, whom to leave out; then, to use the excerpt from what work which ones to leave out. Nevertheless, the choice had to be made. I have finally been able to select, fifty–six authors which, in my view, score over others in merit, in literary significance, as also in best illustrating the trends and tendencies of the period under study. The number or length of the excerpt(s) is in no way, indicative of the literary distinction of a particular author, rather of a characteristic trait or a singuliar peculiarity of the work contributing to a current concept or introducing a new feature. A major hurdle in the way was of locating and acquiring English translations of selected works— since, in order to save time as well as to avoid complications of buying translation rights, I decided to use only the existing translations. This limitation did slightly restrict my field but has not, in any way, impaired the comprehensively of the presentation of French literature from 1950 to the end of the century. To make the anthology as complete as possible, interesting information on exotic literary practices like ‘Oulipo’, names of French Nobel laureates, the long list of French literary Prizes, and a chronology of Socio-political events of the period has been provided in the Appendix.

  • Behold the Franks: Amin Maalouf's the Crusades Through Arab Eyes Revisited
    Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 5.1．December 2011．1-14. Behold the Franks: Amin Maalouf’s The Crusades Through Arab Eyes Revisited Henk Vynckier ABSTRACT In 1983 the francophone Lebanese author Amin Maalouf published The Crusades Through Arab Eyes (original French title: Les croisades vues par les Arabes), a critically acclaimed and best-selling retelling of the Crusades from the Muslim point. Using a variety of contemporary Arab sources, Maalouf aimed to offer a corrective to traditional Western views of the Crusades and concluded that the traumatic events of the Crusades profoundly influenced the Arab perception of the West and its conception of modernity. Yet, while The Crusades Through Arab Eyes was generally praised for its effort to represent the Muslim point of view on the medieval clash of civilizations, the present study will argue that Maalouf availed himself generously of a whole range of French and more generally Western literary and cultural constructs to make his material accessible and interesting to francophone and other European readers. In doing so, some aspects of his work may have unexpectedly reinforced some entrenched consumptions of Islamic civilization among the Western reading public. KEY WORDS: Crusades, cross-cultural encounters, exile, diaspora, francophone literature. The title refers to the statement by the Muslim hero Saladin which Maalouf uses at the beginning of his book: ―Behold the Franks: see with what fury they fight for their religion, while we, the Muslims, show no ardor for waging holy
