  • KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco 2018 Final
    KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco March 15-28, 2018 (arriving from Spain and Portugal) PT 1 Charles Landelle-“Juive de Tanger” Unlike our astronauts who travel to "outer space," going to Morocco is a journey into "inner space." For Morocco reveals under every tree and shrub a spiritual reality that is unlike anything we have experienced before, particularly as Jewish travelers. We enter an Islamic world that we have been conditioned to expect as hostile. Instead we find a warmth and welcome that both captivates and inspires. We immediately feel at home and respected as we enter a unique multi-cultural society whose own 2011 constitution states: "Its unity...is built on the convergence of its Arab-Islamic, Amazigh and Saharan-Hassani components, is nurtured and enriched by African, Andalusian, Hebraic and Mediterranean constituents." A journey with KIVUNIM through Morocco is to glimpse the possibilities of the future, of a different future. At our alumni conference in December, 2015, King Mohammed VI of Morocco honored us with the following historic and challenge-containing words: “…these (KIVUNIM) students, who are members of the American Jewish community, will be different people in their community tomorrow. Not just different, but also valuable, because they have made the effort to see the world in a different light, to better understand our intertwined and unified traditions, paving the way for a different future, for a new, shared destiny full of the promises of history, which, as they have realized in Morocco, is far from being relegated to the past.” The following words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel remind us of the purpose of our travels this year.

Little red taxis play dodgems at the feet of the white city’s ultra-modern buildings. There is no escaping the allure of its grandeur, its pure energy, and all of a sudden we ourselves are imbued with the same heady dynamism. Casablanca, economic heart of the Kingdom, lives at a frenetic pace. Business and art go side by side here, often intermingling. It is here, above all, that tones and trends are set. Why is it that so many artists have found their inspiration in Casablanca? Perhaps the contrasting curves of its Art Deco buildings are enough to cast a spell over them. The richness of the city’s architectural heritage is sufficient in itself to call forth the image of a city where time has no hold. Charged with In Casablanca, modern history yet resolutely turned towards the future, this most cosmopolitan of cities, buildings stand side where every nationality is represented, parades its modernity for all to see. by side with Arab-An- dalusian architecture and Art Deco creations Morocco’s economic nerve centre and keeper of a unique historical heritage, from the 1920s Casablanca reveals all of its many faces to us.

  • A Note from Sir Richard Branson
    A NOTE FROM SIR RICHARD BRANSON “ In 1998, I went to Morocco with the goal of circumnavigating the globe in a hot air balloon. Whilst there, my parents found a beautiful Kasbah and dreamed of turning it into a wonderful Moroccan retreat. Sadly, I didn’t quite manage to realise my goal on that occasion, however I did purchase that magnificent Kasbah and now my parents’ dream has become a reality. I am pleased to welcome you to Kasbah Tamadot, (Tamadot meaning soft breeze in Berber), which is perhaps one of the most beautiful properties in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

  • Ambiguous Agreement in a Wastewater Reuse Project in Morocco
    www.water-alternatives.org Volume 13 | Issue 2 Ennabih, A. and Mayaux, P.-L. 2020. Depoliticising poor water quality: Ambiguous agreement in a wastewater reuse project in Morocco. Water Alternatives 13(2): 266-285 Depoliticising Poor Water Quality: Ambiguous Agreement in a Wastewater Reuse Project in Morocco Amal Ennabih Sciences-po Lyon, UMR Triangle, Lyon, France; [email protected] Pierre-Louis Mayaux CIRAD, UMR G-EAU, Univ Montpellier, Montpellier, France; [email protected] ABSTRACT: How are depoliticising discourses on water issues produced and rendered effective? Research on discursive depoliticisation has focused on the ability of different types of policy networks to generate powerful and reasonably coherent depoliticised narratives. In the paper, by tracing the depoliticisation of poor water quality in a wastewater reuse project in Marrakesh, Morocco, we suggest that depoliticised discourses can also be produced in a much more dispersed, less coordinated way. In the case analysed here, depoliticisation occurred through an 'ambiguous agreement' around a highly polysemic idea, that of innovation. All the key actors understood that the project was innovative but that water quality was not a significant part of the innovation. This encouraged each actor to frame poor water quality as a strictly private matter that the golf courses needed to tackle on their own; however, each actor also had their own, idiosyncratic interpretation of exactly what this innovation was about and why poor water quality was in the end not that important. Showing how depoliticisation can be the product of mechanisms with varying degrees of coordination helps account for the ubiquity of the phenomenon.

  • 1 the Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan
    1 The Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan Resistance Maghreb Review, 40:1 (2014), 108-121. By Edmund Burke III Although the period 1900-1912 was replete with numerous important social upheavals and insurrections, many of which directly threatened the French position in Morocco, none of them generated a contemporaneous French effort to discover what went wrong. Instead, the movements were coded as manifestations of supposedly traditional Moroccan anarchy and xenophobia and as such, devoid of political meaning. On the face of it, this finding is surprising. How could a French policy that billed itself as “scientific imperialism” fail to consider the socio-genesis of Moroccan protest and resistance? Despite its impressive achievements, the Moroccan colonial archive remains haunted by the inability of researchers to pierce the cloud of orientalist stereotypes that occluded their vision of Moroccan society as it actually was. For most historians, the period of Moroccan history between 1900 and 1912 is primarily known as “the Moroccan Question.” A Morocco-centered history of the Moroccan Question was impossible for Europeans to imagine. Moroccan history was of interest only insofar as it shed light on the diplomatic origins of World War I. European diplomats were the main actors in this drama, while Moroccans were pushed to the sidelines or reduced to vulgar stereotypes: the foolish and spendthrift sultan Abd al-Aziz and his fanatic and anarchic people. Such an approach has a degree of plausibility, since the “Moroccan Question” chronology does provide a convenient way of structuring events: the Anglo-French Accord (1904), the landing of the Kaiser at Tangier (1905), the Algeciras conference (1906), the landing of French troops at Casablanca (1907), the Agadir incident (1911) and the signing of the protectorate treaty (1912).

Lakes, NJ Vancouver Toronto London Madrid New Delhi Singapore Hong Kong Sydney São Paulo Buenos Aires Newport, RI HALFWAY THROUGH THE VISION 2010 PLAN TIME-FRAME – WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED SO FAR AND WHAT OF THE FUTURE? Morocco As has been much documented already, Morocco has immense plans and ambitions to become a tourist destination to enable it to compete effectively alongside other Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece. To briefly recap, the king of Morocco announced in January 2001 that tourism had been identified as a national priority; the government’s ‘Vision 2010’ (or ‘Plan Azur’) strategy embodied this strategy. From the outset the key objectives of Vision 2010 were as follows. To increase tourist numbers to 10 million per annum by 2010; The development of six new coastal resorts; The construction of 80,000 new hotel bedrooms, with two-thirds to be in seaside destinations; 600,000 New jobs to be created in the hotel and tourism industry. Alongside these objectives, which were essentially focused on the mass tourism sector, cities such as Marrakech and Casablanca also set out their own strategies to develop their share of the tourism market. These plans were launched at a time when the world economy was continuing to grow; however, this situation very quickly changed in 2001.

  • The Architectural Representation of Islam Tural This Book Is a Study of Dutch Mosque Designs, Objects of Heated Public Debate
    THE ARCHI THE R EPRESEN tat T EC THE ARCHITECTURAL REPRESentatION OF ISlam T ION OF OF ION This book is a study of Dutch mosque designs, objects of heated public UR debate. Until now, studies of diaspora mosque designs have largely A consisted of normative architectural critiques that reject the ubiquitous L ‘domes and minarets’ as hampering further Islamic-architectural evolution. I The Architectural Representation of Islam: Muslim-Commissioned Mosque SL Design in The Netherlands represents a clear break with the architectural A critical narrative, and meticulously analyzes twelve design processes M for Dutch mosques. It shows that patrons, by consciously selecting, steering and replacing their architects, have much more influence on their mosques than has been generally assumed. Through the careful transformation of specific building elements from Islamic architectural history to a new context, they literally aim to ‘construct’ the ultimate Islam. Their designs thus evolve not in opposition to Dutch society, but to those versions of Islam that they hold to be false.
