Perceptions of air pollution and health communication for people with asthma among Australia’s Arabic-speaking communities
Air pollution is a major public health risk factor globally and a significant threat to people with respiratory conditions. People with asthma, and particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, are disproportionally affected and have less capacity to protect themselves from air pollution. There is a critical lack of accessible resources and advice for people with asthma who are from CALD backgrounds. This quali…
How Did You Get Here? Syrian Art and the ‘Aestheticization’ of the Refugee Journey Towards Europe
The journey marks a pivotal moment in the making of refugee bodies. In the context of the Syrian Uprisings of 2011 and the subsequent civil war, Syrian refugee bodies in movement have come to be perceived as a threat to the European body politic. This paper explores ways in which artists creatively engage with the Syrian refugee journey to answer back to dominant discourses that have acted to further displace refugees beyond the bounds of empathe…
Reading Together the Aesthetics and Politics of Decolonization
The attempt to decolonize Arabic thought haunted a generation of Maghrebi intellectuals who were predominantly steeped in French colonial schooling and were largely influenced by the metropole's intellectual trends of the 1960s and 1970s. This paper focuses on two Moroccan intellectuals: Abdallah Laroui (b. 1933) and Abdelkebir Khatibi (1938–2009), both considered ‘radical critics’ who invented a decolonial language of Arabic critique in both Ara…
Bushfire Smoke and Children’s Health—Exploring a Communication Gap
The "Black Summer" bushfires of 2019/2020 in Australia generated smoke that persisted for over three months, mainly affecting Eastern Australia. Most communication strategies focused on the fire itself, revealing a knowledge gap in effective communication of the impact of bushfire smoke on health, especially for children and those living in non-English speaking minority groups. To address this, semi-structured qualitative interviews were undertak…
The aesthetics and politics of 'reading together' Moroccan novels in Arabic and French
This paper attempts to break down the common practices of reading multilingual Moroccan novels, particularly Moroccan postcolonial novels in Arabic and French. I argue that dominant reading practices are based on binary oppositions marked by a reductionist understanding of language and cultural politics in Morocco. They place the Moroccan novel in Arabic and French in independent traditions with the presupposition that they have no impact on each…
Contemporary Moroccan cultural production
Reflections on co-optation and defeat in the contemporary Moroccan novel in Arabic
Mohammad Achaari's The Arch and Butterfly (Al-Qaws wa al-Farāsha, 2011) is a reflection of the social, political, and economic crisis engulfing contemporary Moroccan society. I argue that Achaari's novel provides a form of social and political intervention in contemporary Morocco in the way it critically engages with the failure of the left's political project, the co-optation of its intellectuals and the loss of its vision. It also engages with …
Sectarian Strife and “National Unity” In Egyptian Films
Egyptian filmmakers have braved the issue of religious tension since the beginning of the new millennium occasioned by the rise in religious violence between the two communities. Hassan and Morqos (2008) is the first popular film to address the issue of sectarian tensions directly and openly. In this essay, I argue that while Hassan and Morqos does not attempt to paint a rosy picture of national unity in Egypt, it nevertheless perpetuates the sta…
France's ‘Ethnic’ Minorities and the Question of Exclusion
The Interplay between History/Memory/Space in Tassadit Imache's
This article examines two texts by the postcolonial ‘Beur’ writer Tassadit Imache. It analyses the way the texts represent the link between historical memory, social space and personal narratives. It assesses Imache's criticism of French selective historical memory and the way North African immigrants' contribution to the economy and culture of France has been ignored. Imache suggests that colonial violence, prejudice and hierarchy are still exer…
