Based on the Hamilton A.R. Gibb Lectures given by Nelly Hanna at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies of Harvard University, this groundbreaking book will be of interest to all those looking for a different perspective on the history of south-north relations.Aiming to place Egypt clearly in the context of some of the major worldwide transformations of the three centuries from 1500 to 1800, Professor Hanna questions the mainstream view that has identified the main sources of modern world history as the Reformation, the expansion of Europe into America and Asia, the formation of trading compani

De Star Wars à Lady Gaga, du Seigneur des Anneaux à Game of Thrones, tubes, blockbusters et best-sellers forment aujourd’hui les facettes d’une culture de masse omniprésente. Un philosophe analyse le phénomène : qu’est-ce que la « pop culture » ? Quels en sont les ressorts, mais aussi les implications existentielles ? Avant d’être un truc jeune et sexy, un graphisme quadrichromique simplifié à l’extrême ou un genre musical qui présente en quantité anormalement élevée des sons de synthétiseur, la pop est une stratégie, un calcul industriel alimenté par une seule obsession : savoir ce que veulent les masses. La pop culture est un ogre qui ingère tout ce qu’il trouve. Mais cette logique de réappropriation l’ouvre paradoxalement aux déclassés, aux freaks et aux minorités en tout genre. Pour l’auteur, ce qui s’y joue est d’abord l’invention de nouvelles identités. Il conduit sa réflexion à partir d’analyses fines de chansons, de films, de comics, de romans et de séries, multipliant les digressions érudites en réponse à des questions aussi essentielles que : jusqu’à quel point peut-on détester un ancien groupe indé devenu commercial ? Comment Harry Potter peut-il survivre à l’Avada Kedavra de Voldemort dans la Forêt interdite ? La catégorie de mythe fonctionne-t-elle pour la pop culture ? Par ailleurs, si Obi-Wan Kenobi est si malin, pourquoi laisse-t-il Luke Skywalker faire tout le boulot ?

Recollecting History beyond Borders looks closely at the experience of Moroccan captives, acrobats and dancing women in America throughout various historical periods. It explores the mobility of Moroccans beyond borders and their cultural interactions with the American self and civilization, and offers a broad discussion on the negotiation of the complex dynamics of representation and on the various discursive ramifications of the cultural contacts initiated by ordinary Moroccan travelers.
