Abstract

Writing in the wake of the political and social uprisings known as the "Arab Spring" and the restrictive European immigration policies that followed, Hakim Abderrezak contests the common notion that emigrants from former European colonies migrate predominantly to the land of the ex-colonizer. Focusing particularly on clandestine migration practices, he shows that despite a linguistic affinity, a tradition of labor, and additional historical ties with the colonizer, migrants from the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) are no longer trekking to France, but instead are drifting toward other destinations like Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Middle East. Abderrezak locates this migratory shift away from France in literary, cinematic, and musical representations of the emigrant's journey. Contrary to mass media coverage and mainstream political discourse, these cultural productions reveal new patterns of human movement and an alternative mapping of the Mediterranean.

Abstract

Les Ghoujdama, tribu du Haut Atlas, par leur ancrage dans l'histoire et leur capacité d'adaptation au monde moderne constituent un cas exemplaire pour comprendre le Maroc et par-delà le monde rural maghrébin. Par une étude historique solide, l'auteur nous montre les Ghoujdama à l'aube du xxe siècle, sous la double domination du Glaoui et du Protectorat et depuis l'indépendance. Grâce à la connaissance intime de ce milieu dont il est issu, ALI AMAHAN, dans le sillage de Robert Montagne, Jacques Berque, Paul Pascon, Pierre Bourdieu, aborde avec acuité, justesse et authenticité l'analyse des mutations sociales chez les Ghoujdama. Il révèle les mécanismes enfouis dans les structures sociales et mentales, dévoile la dynamique spécifique qui incite au changement mais aussi à la résistance, et montre que la confrontation entre changement et permanence n'est en fait que la juxtaposition de deux systèmes, l'un moderne et puissant, l'autre traditionnel et ancestral. Ces systèmes se complètent et ne s'opposent que rarement ; ils s'appuient mutuellement l'un sur l'autre pour perdurer et évoluer.

Abstract

L'auteure examine, avec les instruments de l'analyse filmique traditionnelle, le cinéma berbère à travers l'étude de quatre de ses films : La colline oubliée, Machaho, La montagne de Baya et La maison jaune. Elle aborde notamment le contexte politique, économique et social dans lequel ils apparaissent. ©Electre 2016 Cette étude prend appui sur les trois premiers films kabyles, La Colline oubliée, d'Abderrahmane Bougermouh (1996), Machaho, de Belkacem Hadjadj (1996), La Montagne de Baya, d'Azzedine Meddour (1997), et se poursuit avec le premier film chaoui, La Maison jaune d'Amor Hakkar (2008), avant de faire un détour vers le cinéma berbère marocain, aux côtés de Mohamed Mernic. L'auteure s'intéresse tout naturellement au contexte politique et social ayant accompagné la naissance des oeuvres et aux requêtes des Imazighen les ayant précédées

Abstract

Investigating the core questions about Arab identity and history, this book tackles the time-honoured stereotypes that depict Arabs as ancient Arabian Bedouin, and reveals the stories to be a myth: tales told by Muslims to recreate the past to explain the meaning of Islam and its origins.

Abstract

Shaykh Mithqal al-Fayiz's life spanned a period of dramatic transformation in the Middle East. Born in the 1880s during a time of rapid modernization across the Ottoman Empire, Mithqal led his tribe through World War I, the development and decline of colonial rule and founding of Jordan, the establishment of the state of Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict that ensued, and the rise of pan-Arabism. As Mithqal navigated regional politics over the decades, he redefined the modern role of the shaykh. In following Mithqal's remarkable life, this book explores tribal leadership in the modern Middle East more generally. The support of Mithqal's tribe to the Jordanian Hashemite regime extends back to the creation of Jordan in 1921 and has characterized its political system ever since. The long-standing alliances between tribal elites and the royal family explain, to a large extent, the extraordinary resilience of Hashemite rule in Jordan and the country's relative stability. Mithqal al-Fayiz's life and work as a shaykh offer a notable individual story, as well as a unique window into the history, society, and politics of Jordan.

Abstract

First published in 1986, Lila Abu-Lughod's Veiled Sentiments has become a classic ethnography in the field of anthropology. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations, morality, and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. The poems are haunting, the evocation of emotional life vivid. But Abu-Lughod's analysis also reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of social hierarchy. What begins as a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the complexity of culture. This thirtieth anniversary edition includes a new afterword that reflects on developments both in anthropology and in the lives of this community of Awlad 'Ali Bedouins, who find themselves increasingly enmeshed in national political and social formations. The afterword ends with a personal meditation on the meaning-for all involved-of the radical experience of anthropological fieldwork and the responsibilities it entails for ethnographers.
