  • Laila Lalami: Narrating North African Migration to Europe
    Laila Lalami: Narrating North African Migration to Europe CHRISTIÁN H. RICCI UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, MERCED Introduction aila Lalami, author of three novels—Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits L(2005), Secret Son (2009), and The Moor’s Account (2014)—and several short stories, has been considered the most important Moroccan author writ- ing in English; her work has been translated into more than eleven languages (Mehta 117). Compelled to write in a language that is not her mother tongue, Lalami’s narrations constitute a form of diasporic writing from within. She succeeds in defying not only the visual and cultural vilification of Muslims, but also the prevailing neo-orientalist concept of Muslim women’s writing as exclusively victim or escapee narratives. Up to now, the focus of most Mo- roccan migration stories “has been on male migrants as individuals, without reference to women, who nowadays constitute about 50% of international migration. This has led to the neglect of women in migration theories” (Ennaji and Sadiqui 8, 14). As the result of labor migration and family reunification (twenty percent of Moroccan citizens now live in Europe), combined with the geo- graphic proximity of Europe and North Africa, the notion of a national or “native” literature is slightly unstable with regard to Morocco. Its literary production is not limited by the borders of the nation-state, but spills over to the European continent, where the largest Moroccan-descent communities are in France (over a million), Spain (800,000), the Netherlands (370,000), and Belgium (200,000). Contemporary Moroccan literature does more than criticize and reb- el against the Makhzen, a term that originally refers to the storehouse where tribute and taxes to the sultan were stowed; through the centuries Makhzen has come to signify not just the power holders in Morocco, but how power has been exercised throughout society.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Between the Lines: Writing Ethics Pedagogy by PHILLIP W. “CACTUS” MAY IV has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Sherrie L. Gradin Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MAY, PHILLIP W. “CACTUS” IV, Ph.D., May 2018, English Between the Lines: Writing Ethics Pedagogy Director: Sherrie L. Gradin This research project seeks to establish the degree to which morality and ethics are implicated in writing pedagogy. While writing, rhetoric, and ethics have long been interlinked in the traditions of rhetorical pedagogy, perhaps most famously in Socrates’ admonishment of the Sophists, postmodern skepticism has, in part, diminished the centrality of morality and ethics to college writing instruction. I arrive at this project prickled by my own assumptions that writing might well be taught aside from moral and ethical considerations. To this end, I curate a collection of representative work applying the concepts of ethics to composition pedagogy research and scholarship from 1990 to the present. This work is necessary because the theory and practice of ethics in composition studies is diverse and diffuse. While a few scholars have made ethics a primary concern (for example, Marilyn Cooper; Peter Mortensen; James Porter) and others who have sought to map the disciplinary engagement (for example, Paul Dombrowski; Laura Micciche), treatments of ethics in composition scholarship remain fragmented and idiomatic.

  • Sayyida Al-Hurra, Mujer Marroquí De Origen Andalusí
    SAYYIDA AL-HURRA, MUJER MARROQUÍ DE ORIGEN ANDALUSÍ Rodolfo GIL GRíMAU Instituto Cervantes de Lisboa La figura de Sitt al-~urra —Sayyida al-Hurra bint Mawláy ‘AlT ibn Ra~Td— es, tanto por sí misma como por lo que vino a significar en la historia del norte de Marruecos, la de una de las más importantes personalidades femeninas del occidente islámico en la Edad Moderna, a la que en cierta medida, la vinculada al Estrecho de Gibraltar, resume dentro de los complicados cambios y trasvases de intereses, que se producen en los finales del siglo XV y comienzos del XVI en esta zona. Sitt al-Hurra pasa a ser una singularidad, una mezcla, un eje, en tomo a los cuales puede moverse nuestra reflexión cuando la centramos sobre aquella complicada sociedad, que existió por entonces a los dos lados del Estrecho. En 1453, los turcos osmanlíes conquistan Constantinopla, con lo que se termina el Imperio Bizantino, heredero del Imperio Romano de Oriente, y comienza el Imperio Osmanlí u Otomano, que durará hasta comienzos del siglo pasado. Es un largo periodo de la Historia el que se acaba con el mutis de Constantinopla y el estreno de Istambul; toda una parte de la Edad Antigua y toda la Edad Media completa. Y, sobre todo, un cambio de actitudes, de medios y de inversiones económicas, una alteración del equilibrio político, cultural y comercial, que había existido hasta entonces. A partir de 1487, los portugueses, que ya habían explorado la costa occidental de África y se habían asentado en el litoral marroquí, descubren el camino marítimo a la India, contorneando el Cabo de Buena Esperanza, y abren la nueva vía mercantil de las riquezas de levante, que hasta entonces había discurrido por el camino de los monzones, el Mar Rojo, Arabia y Medio Oriente.
