Re-Membering Hospitality in the Mediterranean
Deep-time borderscapes in Trino Cruz’s poetry
This article explores Gibraltarian poet Trino Cruz’s recent works, particularly his 2021 poem ‘Gharb’, by focusing on Gibraltar’s deep-time geological continuity. In contrast to conventional views that emphasize human borders and migrations, Cruz’s poem shifts attention to the natural world’s influence on shaping cultural and historical processes. By delving into the submerged geological continuum beneath the Strait of Gibraltar, ‘Gharb’ emphasiz…
Elemental Borders
Fundamentally, this paper is an intervention on the crucial importance of the geophysical when situating and defining the space of the Maghrib. 1 Considering the age-old question, “Where is the Maghrib?,” to borrow the title of an introduction to a recent special issue of Arab Studies Journal , requires attending to the Maghrib’s unique liminality, its “interstitial position between different continents and transnational cultural formations, a va…
Introduction
The essays in this roundtable emerged from a panel we organized at the annual meeting of the Middle East Studies Association that took place in Montreal in 2023. With a focus on “ecocritical terrains,” the panel sought to rethink environments in the Middle East and Tamazgha (the broader North Africa) by paying attention to more-than-human ecologies. We use “Tamazgha” to acknowledge the reimagination by the Imazighen, the Indigenous people of Nort…
The Residual Migrant
Through a focus on corruptive seawater, this essay restores the underwater dimensions of borders – their verticality, reaching into the maritime depths, and their biopolitical devastation of drowned migrant bodies. Intersecting Achille Mbembe’s concepts of “necropolitics” and “borderization” with recent theoretical work in critical ocean studies and feminist new materialism, I examine the kinds of readjustments a focus on water as corrosive agent…
Hydropower
This essay reflects on the concept of “hydropower” – the corrosive power of seawater to amalgamate Life and Nonlife in the context of migrant deaths in the waters of the Mediterranean. Through a focus on drowned bodies’ dissolution and eventual sedimentation into their deep-sea surroundings, my approach interrelates the order of biopolitical violence enacted by Europe’s restrictive migration policies and the thick time of the geophysical. The deg…
Seawater
This essay probes the methodological contours of an (eco)critical practice centered on seawater as an analytical category. It queries how a focus on seawater as substance implicates the human and the geophysical in a bilateral process of mutual alteration and eventual amalgamation. I propose a “trans-material” ontology articulated around the corrosive power of seawater, through which organic and inorganic matters (in this argument, the disintegra…
Critically Mediterranean
Translation and Affect in Rachid Boudjedra’s La Prise de Gibraltar
Rachid Boudjedra’s novel La Prise de Gibraltar stages a post-traumatic engagement with history, which hinges on the repudiation of the myth of the Arab conquest of Spain, the “phantasme central” undermining Algeria’s present. The repressed traumatic experiences suffered by the main protagonist, Tarik, generate aesthetic, affective, and psychological après-coups.1 Reverberating with the rippling effects of trauma, this apprehension of reality focu…
Chiasmus andaprès-coup
Critical readings of Rachid Boudjedra’s 1986 novel La Prise de Gibraltar have invariably emphasised the text’s fictionalisation of history and its debunking of foundational myths. Yet the novel’s reliance on the mythopoetic trope of al-Andalus has surprisingly received little attention. This article restores the mythical recording and affective resignification of Ṭāriq Ibn Ziyād’s 711 Andalusian conquest to the core of the novel’s take on histori…
The Transcontinental Maghreb
Critically engaging the concept of the Mediterranean as a “liquid continent” (Gabriel Audisio), the book argues in favor of a “transcontinental” heuristic model that rests on the transmaritime deployment of the Maghreb within the millennia-old relation that has materially and culturally bound it to multiple Mediterranean sites. Studying a Mediterranean-inspired body of texts from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Gibraltar in French, Arabic, and Spa…
Mediterranean criss-crossings
This article reflects on the notion of criss-crossing envisioned as multi-directional passage in the Mediterranean contact zone. I trace Tahar Bekri's engagement with the two tropes of exile and wandering in Le Chant du roi errant and Les Chapelets d’attache. Estranged from a single linguistic or national logic, Bekri's poems perform multiple literary and aesthetic crossings between the Northern and Southern shores of the Mediterranean. I examine…

“An invincible Czech horde”
This article studies the treatment of Moravian folk music in Milan Kundera ́s 1967 first novel, The Joke (Žert). Reconstructed as the performative practice through which timeless collective memory is enacted, folklore appears as a vector of resistance to state-sponsored Communism in the post-utopian context of the novel. By probing the limitations and potentialities of this vision, this argument sheds light on the complex intersections of folklor…
Between nostalgia and desire
This article examines the transnational forms of cultural affiliation and Mediterranean margin-to-margin circuits of production with which l'Ecole d'Alger (here, Audisio and Camus) experimented in the 1930s, and highlights new theoretical perspectives appropriate to these practices. The authors' use of a mythicized Mediterranean as a unifying trope downplays national and religious differences to the benefit of a common utopian identity both cosmo…
