This chapter aims to investigate cartoons created by Arab female cartoonists since the beginning of the “Arab spring.” Their work shows how political satire is used to write Arab women into history. Cartoons can be more powerful than articles and reports in newspapers in addressing issues. They attract the attention of readers instantly because of the simplicity of the medium. They also have a mass appeal due to their satirical nature and their lasting visual effect in memory. A few years ago, Arab cartoonists did not dare draw a king or a president. Since the beginning of the “Arab Spring,” political cartoonists have succeeded in escaping much censorship whether in printed magazines and newspapers or in the social media.

ORIENTA 7: MAPPING THE CITY IN UNEXPECTED WAYS

Orienta's curator, Azzeddine Abdelouahabi is an artist and art critic who lives between Amiens (France) and Oujda (Morocco). To show art's potential for social and spatial subversion, he invited local and international artists to remap the city in a new way. Their artworks coalesce into narratives that unlock the parallel between the intimate and the global. A vast range of media (from painting and sculpture to installation and art-video, digital art, photography and political activism presented as art) are used by artists as a way to expand the limits of representational art and to bring art to life in new spaces in the city. The curator conceived each of the locations of the event as one of the seven provinces imagined by medieval geographer and traveler Charif Al-Idrissi in his map of the world. He distributed the artists among seven venues between the medina (the old city) and la ville nouvelle (the new city).

Poetry As Resistance: An Ecocritical Reading Of Sameh Derouich's Haiku

Ikhtilaf إختلاف Journal of Critical Humanities and Social Studies, 2017

Sameh Derouich is a pioneer of Moroccan haiku who published his first haiku collections in 2015, ... more Sameh Derouich is a pioneer of Moroccan haiku who published his first haiku collections in 2015, in post Arab Spring Morocco. 1 100 Haiku, I Am Many and Illuminating Beetles are the titles of his three haiku collections. Derouich who is a prolific writer has also published many collections in other poetic forms. 2 While he has begun his literary career as a free verse poet, Derouich moved a few years ago to haiku poetry, writing the innovative poems he is best known for. More than a type of poetry, his haiku is an ecological project of an extraordinary range. By writing complex and elusive, yet concise visual-verbal haiku, he engages singularly with being on earth. This article aims at developing an ecopoetic approach to Sameh Derouich's haiku poetry. I propose to read the poet's recent poetry collections as a response to the contemporary environmental crisis as well as a way of resisting the ordinary and the obvious. Derouich broke away from familiar ways of verse writing in Morocco and adopted a poetic form which is regarded by many Moroccan poets as an inferior form of poetry writing. In spite of its pronounced linguistic economy, haiku poetry helps him challenge the confines of the city and express an acute awareness of the limitations of the urban space he lives in. On the other hand, the haiku form reflects the city experience itself; its constrained length resembles the closed spaces of the city.

Question de Genre Etudes des inégalités hommes- femmes au Maroc (2019)

by chourouq nasri, Soumia Boutkhil, ibtissam azzakhmam, Saad ALAMI MERROUNI, choua younes, and Saida Alkhales

L'ennemi des femmes n'est pas l'homme, mais le patriarcat, un système d'oppression, parfois violent, mais souvent doux et même d’apparence bienveillante, des femmes, et qui est à la fois social, culturel, politique et économique. Cet ouvrage cherche précisément à déconstruire ce système en utilisant la perspective Genre. Rédigé pars des professeur(e)s chercheur(e)s et des étudiant(e)s en fin de Master, ce recueil regroupe plusieurs travaux dont les auteurs se sont rencontrés dans le cadre du Master « Genre, Société et Développement Humain » qui s'est tenu entre 2010 et 2014 à la faculté des lettres et des sciences humaines de l’Université Mohammed Premier à Oujda.
