Folk poetry, local knowledge, and resistance in Tunisia
In pre-Islamic times, Arabic poetry was a potent propaganda weapon among the nomadic Arabian tribes. More than 15 centuries later, not much has changed. In the twenty-first century, Arabic poetry is still used ritualistically to celebrate harvests, weddings, and other happy events, but also to put up a defensive shield against encroachments by outsiders, or to lament the loss of a loved one, the devastation by natural disasters, or the generation…
Situating senior women in the literacy landscape of North Africa
Although literacy programs in North African countries vary in method, management approach, and in content emphasis, their discourse is strikingly similar: It focuses too often on learners' deficits and considers the condition of these “illiterate” subjects, i.e. persons lacking the 3Rs, as a “disease” against which a war of eradication must be waged. For Government Agencies, NGOs, and other institutional actors in literacy projects, such lexicon …
Of Irony and Empire
"Of Irony and Empire is a thorough examination of Muslim writers from former European colonies in Africa who have increasingly entered into critical conversations with the metropole. Focusing on the period between World War I and the present, "the age of irony," this book explores the political and symbolic invention of Muslim Africa and its often contradictory representations. Through a critical analysis of irony and resistance in works by write…
Refracting an Orientalist Lens
In her 1994 directorial debut, The silences of the palace (Samt al-qusur), Tunisian filmmaker Moufida Tlatli invokes various modes of representation—traditional oral performance, Western theatrical conventions, filmic modes—in telling a multilayered, retrospective story of cultural and gender oppression/expression. The contemporary moment of the film, circa 1962, demonstrates the complicated nature of gender politics in post-independence Tunisia.…
Critical Appropriations
This article uses the postcolonial focus on the situated spaces from which we all read our being, fixed for the moment by the coordinates of gender, race, religion, class, national and ethnic origin and language as a hermeneutic for interrogating tropes of the desert as culturally-situated, thus inevitably limited and partial. Three questions structure this investigation into the cultural and political investments revealed as land becomes landsca…
African Conscripts/European Conflicts
Nomad Thought
There in the vast steppe, flooded with sunlight, he could see the black tents of the nomads which appeared just like dots in the distance. There there was freedom, there other people were living, people who were not a bit like the people he knew; there time itself seemed to stand still as though the age of Abraham and his flocks had not passed. Raskolnikov sat there, looking without moving and without taking his eyes off the vast landscape before…
