Ethnographic Research in Morocco: Analyzing Contemporary Artistic Practices and Visual Culture ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH IN MOROCCO: ANALYZING CONTEMPORARY ARTISTIC PRACTICES AND VISUAL CULTURE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Maribea Woodington Barnes, B.A., M.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Patricia Stuhr, Adviser ________________________ Adviser Dr. Christine Ballengee-Morris Art Education Graduate Program Dr. James Sanders III Copyright by Maribea Woodington Barnes 2008 ABSTRACT Over the last several decades numerous scholarly articles and books have been published on Moroccan art forms. Yet, these studies have consistently examined Morocco’s traditional works or its older forms of artistic practices. Specifically, Morocco’s ceramics objects and textiles are among the most commonly examined works. As a result of this emphasis, only a partial view of Morocco’s rich artistic production has been presented. Currently, Moroccan Art is consistently viewed as static and the 19th century western Orientalist image of Morocco has more or less remained. Visual Culture within the country and beyond its border continues to reinforce these antiquated perceptions. To identify the range of works of art produced within Morocco, a multi- method ethnographic approach was utlized. Using information drawn from fieldwork conducted in Morocco in 2002, 2004, and 2006, contemporary artistic practices were examined and anylzed within a social and historical context. Personal narratives from my fieldwork in 2006 added layers of information to enrich my study of Moroccan art and culture. My findings revealed that Morocco’s rich historical past includes a multiplicity of cultures and influences. As a result, the country’s contemporary artistic production mirrors the complexity of this past and reflects its current social ii and political situation within the global world. Moroccan Art is not static, but diverse and fluid. By studying a range of contemporary works of art and visual culture produced within the country, perceptions about Morocco’s art forms and its people will be redefined. iii DEDICATION To my mother, who unabashedly illustrated her love for teaching and was my constant support throughout my teaching career. And To my husband, who supported me in each and every endeavor and has truly been my champion at my weakest moments. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Patricia Stuhr, my adviser and dissertation chair for her assistance and support. I am also thankful to my committee members, Dr. Christine Ballengee-Morris and Dr. James Sanders III, who provided their insights and guidance throughout my dissertation writing. Additional thanks to Dr. Terry Barrett for his assistance during my Ph.D. studies and for his writing guidance during my dissertation. Financial support for research and travel was essential to complete my study. I would like to thank the College of the Arts and the Department of Art Education for a Student International Travel grant, the American Institute for Magrheb Studies for a short term research grant, and the Middle East Studies Center for a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) summer award and the opportunity to attend their summer workshop for educators. I must also thank all the participants in this study, who provided their time and assistance throughout my research. During my research travels a number of Moroccan residents offered me their guidance and graciously opened their doors to their homes and shops. The experiences that I encountered have left endearing memories. v Lastly, I must acknowledge the numerous educators who have extended their assistance and offered words of encouragement. My appreciation must also extend to my first art education professor, Orland Rourke, who unknowingly changed my career path and hence, the course of my professional life. vi VITA 1968 .....................Born - Lancaster, Pennsylvania 1991......................BA in French Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota 1994 .....................Licensure Program in Art Education Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota 1995 - 1996 ..........Art Teacher Oak Grove Lutheran, Fargo, North Dakota 1996 - 2003 ..........Art Teacher Glencoe Silver Lake School District, Glencoe, Minnesota 1998 - 2003 .........Art Teacher - Youth Public Programs, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, Minnesota 2003 .....................MA in Art History University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota 2003 - 2004 ..........Graduate Administrative Assistant, Teacher Programs & Graduate Museum Studies - Education Department Wexner Center for the Arts, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 2004 – 2007..........Graduate Teaching Assistant, University Supervisor of Student Teachers The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 2007 – present .....Assistant Professor, Art Education, Department of Art & Design Marshall University, Huntington, WV vii FIELDS OF STUDY Major Field: Art Education viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract............................................................................................................................... ii Dedication.......................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgments ...............................................................................................................v Vita.................................................................................................................................... vii List of Figures.................................................................................................................. xiii Chapters: 1.

Its diversity runs the spectrum from ancient cities and ruins to grand mountain vistas and desert oases. The plains of the north have acted as Morocco’s breadbasket for centuries, feeding the rise of cities whose culture went on to dominate the rest of the country. The Romans were the first to get in on the act, and left remains at Volubilis as testament. IMPERIAL CITIES, MIDDLE The streets of Fez’s World Heritage medina rank high on the must-see list of any visitor to & THE EAST ATLAS the country. Getting lost amid the souqs and alleys is an unforgettable (and often unavoid- able) way to spend a day. Meknès, another imperial capital and near neighbour to Fez offers a more pocket-sized version of the medina experience. To the south, the land rises into the limestone range of the Middle Atlas, which are home to the Barbary ape, Morocco’s only monkey. The area is made for hiking, and in winter the wealthy still come here to ski. Across the mountains, towns like Midelt herald drier climes, and the distinctive kasbahs of the south begin to make an appearance. The desert isn’t far away, and by the time you reach the oasis of Figuig, the olive tree has long given way to the date palm.

    Data Literature Review: Final Term Project GISWR Fall 2013- Maidment Madeline Clark Abstract: This study set out to gather data and conduct a preliminary analysis of water availability and quality in Morocco, and is part of an ongoing project to describe the physical and hydrological landscape of Morocco in real-time. For the purpose of consistency, this study has not focused on including the Western Sahara as part of its analysis. Due to gaps in data, this study will not be able to present a clear picture of the state of water availability and quality in Morocco, but important trends have become clear throughout the data collection and map- making process. This paper will center around three themes: water management in Morocco and the role of Office Nationale de l’Electricitié et l’Eau ONEP, water quality and human activity, and to the relationship between agricultural and water systems focused-aid and water availability and quality in Morocco. Future directions will include analyzing indices like the above, and public-health, governance, and socio-economic metrics (including but not limited to: access to clean drinking water, infant and maternal mortality, education, and income) at the municipality and household level. This study could also improve its use of advanced statistical and geo-statistical methods to forecast water availability and quality in highly populated basins. These ideas tie into the larger issues plaguing water management in Morocco, which include climate change, soil erosion, and an imbalance of water supply between north and south. Part One: Water Management Systems in Morocco Water management in Morocco is divided politically among three different levels of governmental and non-governmental agencies.

Lesk, Ph.D. and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Framework for Cultural Heritage Digital Libraries in the Developing World: Access to Non-Textual Information for Non-Literate People in Morocco By HEATHER LEA MOULAISON Dissertation Director: Michael E. Lesk The purpose of this study is to investigate the role that Digital Libraries (DLs) can play in the transmission of information for non-literate people in the developing world. People from oral cultures are well-positioned to exploit DLs as a way of accessing audio- visual (A/V) documents if the DL is properly adapted. Cultural heritage documents created by researchers during fieldwork may be audio, video, or images that can be sources of national pride for non-literate citizens; these documents could be stored in a cultural heritage DL (CHDL) for online access by non-literate citizens. The primary methodology employed in this study is a review of relevant literature. National culture and universal usability contribute to cultural usability, the human aspects of DL use being explored. Machine aspects of DLs are investigated within the Library and Information Science (LIS) framework, with an emphasis on theories of organization of information and information retrieval, and a complementary discussion of the read/write Web.
