{"title":"Medecine et Colonialisme au Maroc sous Protectorat Français by Reda Sadiki (review)","authors":"N. S. Studer","doi":"10.1353/tmr.2023.a901472","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/tmr.2023.a901472","url":null,"abstract":"The Moroccan author Reda Sadiki, who has a Ph.D. in medicine from the University Mohammed V in Rabat, has worked as a doctor in both Morocco and France. From this position as a medical authority, he has written a book on “Medicine and Colonialism in Morocco under the French Protectorate”, which was published in 2021 in Casablanca by the publishing house “En Toutes Lettres”. In this book, Sadiki covers the history of medicine in Morocco from the precolonial period to colonial medicine’s epilogue – the long-lasting effect that colonial medicine had on how Maghrebis in general and Moroccans specifically are still viewed in France today. His book is a clear – and successful – attempt at deconstructing the fact that colonial medicine’s role in Morocco is, both in Morocco and in France, still viewed positively today (p. 11). In his view, colonial medicine was not only an effective tool of colonial policy, but one of its “constitutive elements” in Morocco, “that is to say, an integral and substantial part of all stages” of French colonialism (p. 13). In the brief introduction to this book, Sadiki situates himself in the interdisciplinary field of “technoscience studies”, i.e. the social study of science and technology. In the introduction, Sadiki decries the almost hagiographic view of colonial medicine in certain historiographical accounts about Morocco. He explains this, partly, by the fact that the history of colonial medicine in Morocco was first written by the very doctors who had been entrusted by the French government with the mission to establish medical institutions in Morocco. Sadiki points to the inherent biases of this source material and adds that the first generation of historians, who studied aspects of France’s medical mission in Morocco, did not question the accounts and reports of these colonial doctors and consequently reproduced some of their biases. After the introduction, the book is divided into five chapters, which are ordered in a roughly chronological way. The goal of these chapters is the debunking of various myths about French colonial medicine, which, Sadiki suggests, have up to now not yet been deconstructed by historiography. One of these myths is the conviction that modern medicine had been introduced into Morocco by French colonialism, i.e. that Morocco had been, before the installation of the protectorate, medically speaking a virgin country. This myth both suggests that Morocco had languished in misery before the advent of these French doctors in 1912 and paints France as a saviour figure instead of the occupying force it was. Sadiki proposes that there had been a tradition of medicine during the “golden age” of Morocco (which he defines as the time under the Saadi Dynasty), but that, by 1912, Moroccan medicine had indeed","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

Une petite minorité seulement est diplomée des universities canadiennes et francophones européennes. Cela s’explique par le recul de l’enseignement du français dans les écoles libyennes.

This does not mean that there have not been disagreements in perspectives at times, but historically their common connections have outweighed any specific differences. Indeed, there was some tension over the issues of the blockade of Qatar (2017–2021), in which Morocco refused to participate and professed neutrality, and Morocco’s continuing control over Western Sahara, over which there was a perceived lack of diplomatic support from the Saudi government; however, even before the settlement of the Qatar crisis, Morocco’s tariff dispute with Turkey and Saudi Arabia’s unofficial boycott of Turkish goods facilitated rapprochement and a better understanding of each other’s most important security concerns, though respective distinct geopolitical perspectives still persist.This article will review and analyze the bilateral diplomatic relations of Saudi Arabia and Morocco and issues of common concern, since the latter country achieved independence from France in 1956 as a study of two conservative monarchies wanting to preserve their respective political systems and enhance their political influence in their respective regions as middle powers in the face of changing political conditions in the Arab and Islamic worlds.","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

After its final demise in 1492, Andalusia gradually disappeared from Arab-Muslim collective memory.

Using a wide array of literary works and political statements, this paper revisits and broadens the scope of investigations began by Christina Civantos, Mikaela Rogozen-Soltar and Alejandro García-Sanjuán. It shows how contemporary crisis and sense of inferiority some Muslims and Arabs have felt vis a vis Western Europe and North America (“the West”) in modern times, the Palestine Question and recent conflicts, the Iran-Iraq War, civil wars in Lebanon, Algeria, Syria, Yemen and Libya, initiated a multivariate re-interpretation of the role of al-Andalus in modern Arab-Muslim historiography between nostalgia for the past and the dream of an Arab-Muslim revival.","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.

{"title":"Humour, Jihad Al-Tabyyin and Performance Activism in Lebanon","authors":"J. Alagha","doi":"10.1353/tmr.2023.0010","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/tmr.2023.0010","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT:This article discusses how forms of humour have been mobilised to negotiate, subvert or sustain various paradigms of structural oppression. By so doing, it highlights the shift between the sacred and the profane; the religious and the secular in performance activism by looking into humour as a genre of Resistance Art, both among secular and religious actors. As case studies, ‘Christian’ comedians Charbel Khalil and animator Ralf Karam exemplify the former (the secular); and ‘Sunni’ Palestinians (involved in nationalist struggle) and the ‘Shi‘a’ resistance movement Hizbullah, the latter (the religious). The rapid evolution of Hizbullah from a marginal splinter group to a dominant segment in Lebanese, regional and international politics enhanced its orientation towards cultural and artistic productions by giving them more weight and visibility in public space. Hizbullah believes that art is the most eloquent and effective means of Islamic propagation; thus relating public interest (maslaha) to reform, resistance, mobilisation and political struggle. That might explain why Hizbullah invests heavily in performance activism. As a Resistance Movement, Hizbullah considers purposeful art, or ideologically motivated art, as Resistance Art. In its ideology, Hizbullah regards popular culture as a site of struggle between: (1) the ‘resistance’ of subordinate groups in society, the subaltern groups, or the ‘oppressed’, and (2) the forces of ‘incorporation’ operating in the interest of dominant groups in society, or the ‘oppressors’. As an Islamic protest (jihadi) movement, Hizbullah considers Resistance Art as counter-hegemonic art, which aims at rectifying individuals and reforming society by portraying art as pious–moral productions that provoke serious thought and discussion, rather than what it considers the ‘purposeless’ ‘art for the mere sake of art’. All of the above, including Hizbullah, consider humour as an ‘agency’; as a socially constructed phenomenon. Both Khalil and Karam support the dictum of ‘scourge of evil laugh’. Their works exemplify the theatre of the absurd: absurdist drama or tragic comedy, replete with oxymora, which Hizbullah also subscribes to. Since Khalil and Karam consider their comic works as ‘artistic resistance’ (muqawama faniyya), then how does their humour differ from Hizbullah’s Resistance Art? Unlike Khalil and Karam, Hizbullah does not consider ‘the widest possible spectrum of humorous expression an artistic, cultural, and social good’ (Schweizer, 2020, p. 36), rather only performance activism of Resistance Art and its derivatives of didactic and purposeful-oriented art and performances.","PeriodicalId":85753,"journal":{"name":"The Maghreb review.
