Ce faisant, Bénitah crée des œuvres d'art et, en même temps, met en évidence la manière dont les photographies de famille peuvent fonctionner comme des objets de témoignage qui ont la capacité de saisir les changements traumatisants qui façonnent les époques et les mentalités postmodernes et postcoloniales. Les photo-broderies de Bénitah racontent des histoires familiales, personnelles et de communauté, à l'intersection entre histoires et mémoires publiques et privées. Inséparables de l'histoire de la communauté juive marocaine au XXè siècle, les images de Bénitah témoignent des transformations dramatiques que cette communauté a subi et commémorent des espaces.Abstract:In \"L'enfance marocaine\" (2009), Carolle Bénitah, after scanning and reframing family photographs from her childhood in Morocco in the 1960s and 1970s, embroiders over the black and white images using red and black threads. As she transforms family portraits into works of art, Bénitah highlights how family photographs can function as testimonial objects that have the ability to capture the traumatic shifts that shape postmodern and postcolonial eras and mentalities. Her photo-embroideries tell community, family, and personal stories at the intersection between public and private history and memory. Inseparable from the history of the Moroccan Jewish community in the twentieth century, Bénitah's images bear witness to the dramatic transformations it experienced and memorialize sociocultural spaces that no longer exist. Bénitah also uses embroidery to transform family photographs into a fragmentary autobiographical narrative that is also a site of contestation and self-invention. The artist celebrates family links while exposing the violence behind the patriarchal socialization of women that family photography validates and perpetuates. Through her hybrid images, Bénitah individualizes, revises, and feminizes the past that conventional family albums preserve.","PeriodicalId":41074,"journal":{"name":"Expressions maghrebines","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/exp.2020.0003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44548867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En premier lieu, l'article contextualise la vision de l'artiste sur l'intersectionnalité des cultures à travers les espaces et les siècles tout en essayant de déconstruire une perception binaire et stéréotypée que l'Occident et le monde arabe détiennent de la « femme orientale ». En deuxième lieu, la vision de l'artiste à l'égard de la question de la représentation des femmes arabes dans le monde contemporain sera abordée. Le but de l'article est de prouver que les œuvres artistiques de Zoulikha Bouabdellah mettent en question ces représentations patriarcales et figées de la femme musulmane vue comme soumise et manquant d'agentivité. Au contraire, comme il sera démontré, Bouabdellah réoriente le regard des spectateurs et critiques en offrant une image de la femme arabe puissante et maîtresse de son statut et de son rôle dans la société.Abstract:The present article focuses on the concept of transmediality in the artistic syncretism of some of Zoulikha Bouabdellah's works. First, the article contextualizes the artist's vision on the intersectionality of cultures through spaces and centuries while trying to deconstruct the binary and stereotypical perception that the West and the Arab World have on the construct of the \"Oriental woman\". Secondly, the artist's vision regarding the question of the representation of Arabic women in the contemporary world is highlighted. The goal of the article is to prove that the artistic works of Zoulikha Bouabdellah call into question patriarchal and stereotypical representations of the Muslim woman seen as a submissive individual lacking agentivity. On the contrary, as I will demonstrate, Bouabdellah refocuses the critical gaze by offering an image of the Arabic woman perceived as powerful and mastering her status and role in society.","PeriodicalId":41074,"journal":{"name":"Expressions maghrebines","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/exp.2020.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43667882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Je soutiens que cette mémoire subversive repose sur le travail de (ré)invention et la réorientation des traditions existantes ou imaginées que MCAM a entrepris pour mettre fin à l'exclusion officielle de la langue et la culture amazighes au Maroc après son indépendance. Ces traditions (ré)inventées par MCAM ont fourni les substrats culturels, historiques et symboliques dont la mémoire subversive amazighe a besoin pour réamazighiser la sphère publique marocaine. La ré-amazighisation implique un retour aux racines amazighes du Maroc que l'État-nation indépendant a rompues lors de l'indépendance en 1956. En m'appuyant sur l'utilisation du Tifinagh dans la signalisation publique et sa transformation du paysage visuel marocain, je sonde comment cette nouvelle réalité visuelle relie les Marocains avec leur passé amazigh. En outre, j'analyse l'importance du guide des publications de l'IRCAM et la vente de livres amazighs dans une librairie spécifique à Rabat pour examiner comment la mémoire subversive amazigh vit et agit à travers les publications et la circulation.Abstract:In this article, I draw on the Moroccan Amazigh Cultural Movement's (MACM) diverse initiatives to counter state-sponsored marginalization in order to theorize Amazigh subversive memory. I argue that this subversive memory has rested on MACM's (re)invention and repurposing of existing or imagined traditions to undermine the official exclusion of Amazigh language and culture in post-independence Morocco. These (re)invented traditions furnished the cultural, historical, and symbolic substrata for Amazigh subversive memory to re-Amazighize the Moroccan public sphere. Re-Amazighization implies a return to Morocco's Amazigh roots, which the independent nation-state severed upon independence in 1956. Building on the use of Tifinagh in public signage and its transformation of the Moroccan visual landscape, I probe how this new visual reality reconnects Moroccans with their Amazigh past. Moreover, I analyze the significance of IRCAM's publications guide and the sale of Amazigh books in a Rabat-based bookstore to examine how Amazigh subversive memory lives and acts through publications and circulation.","PeriodicalId":41074,"journal":{"name":"Expressions maghrebines","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/exp.2020.0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44534328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Le renouvellement esthétique qui en découle évite, cependant, de tomber dans un ludisme apolitique ou un formalisme narcissique. Au contraire, la production artistico-littéraire hybride qui fleurit permet au littéraire d'occuper l'espace public, et met en relation le livre avec son hypothétique public. L'auteur-plasticien Mustapha Benfodil contribue à ce renouvellement esthétique : avec L'Anti-Livre (2012), un projet qui s'inscrit à mi-chemin entre l'écriture collective et l'installation artistique, et qui mélange œuvres personnelles et livres destinés au pilon, Benfodil met en relief la fragilité de la création culturelle et de la pensée face aux exigences de rentabilité économique, au faible lectorat et à la censure. Ce faisant, il offre une vision du livre qui refuse de se cantonner à un espace normé, interroge le lecteur-spectateur-(con)citoyen sur la disparition du livre et entame ainsi une réflexion sur le renouvellement de la responsabilité civique et participation sociale au cœur du mouvement de contestation du Hirak.Abstract: At the end of the civil war, Algerian literature left behind the testimonial writing necessitated by the war's horrors, to question its role in society using heterogeneous forms. The resulting aesthetic renewal avoided any temptation towards apolitical playfulness or solipsistic formalism. Instead, the resulting hybrid artistic-literary production brought literature back into the center of the public space, re-connecting the book with its hypothetical reader. The author-artist Mustapha Benfodil contributed to this movement with L'Anti-Livre (2012) a project that was part collective writing and part artistic installation, mixing personal works and books destined for the pulping machine. Through it, Benfodil highlights the fragility of thoughts and cultural products threatened by the demands of economic profitability, limited readerships, and censorship. In so doing, he offers a vision of a book that cannot be confined to institutional spaces, which questions the reader/spectator/(co)-citizen's role in the disappearance of books–anticipating the discussion on civic responsibility and social participation at core of the Hirak protest movement.","PeriodicalId":41074,"journal":{"name":"Expressions maghrebines","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/exp.2020.0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43412444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Afin de conjurer l'exploitation, l'oppression et la destruction historiques, politiques, environnementales et individuelles, Latiri revisite le sens des attachements à travers une collection de fragments tirés de rencontres, de relations et de connections fugaces.

To counteract historical, political, environmental, and individual exploitation, oppression, and destruction, Latiri revisits the meaning of attachment by presenting a collection of fragments drawn from encounters, relationships, and fleeting connections.
