Port Cities, Creative Cities
This essay describes a project launched by the authors in 2020 in multiple port cities. Part manifesto, part interim report, the essay advances three claims about the distinctiveness and potentialities of port cities. First, they share both positive and negative characteristics. On the negative axis, port cities struggle with environmental crisis, susceptibility to epidemics, and endemic forms of crime, poverty, and corruption. On the positive ax…

Tahrir
Large-scale demonstrations during January and February 2011 forced the departure of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. Many Western commentators represented these events as a digital revolution, attributing authorship as much to the technologies of the digital age—particularly social networking sites—as to individuals themselves. This article discusses the role of circulation in understanding the Egyptian popular uprising. It focuses on the litera…
Globalizing American Studies
The discipline of American studies was established in the early days of World War II and drew on the myth of American exceptionalism. But now that the so-called American Century has come to an end, what would a truly globalized version of American studies look like? Brian T. Edwards and Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar offer a new standard for the field's transnational aspiration with Globalizing American Studies. The essays here offer a comparative, mu…
Marockin Morocco
This article discusses a number of recent Moroccan films—created by artists based both in Morocco and the diaspora—that engage questions of globalisation and culture. The author argues that ‘circulation’ is a common thematic concern in several such films of the past decade and offers a means by which to understand the relationship of globalisation to recent Maghribi cultural production. The central text analysed is the 2005 film Marock (directed …

Morocco Bound
Until attention shifted to the Middle East in the early 1970s, Americans turned most often toward the Maghreb-Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and the Sahara-for their understanding of "the Arab." In Morocco Bound, Brian T. Edwards examines American representations of the Maghreb during three pivotal decades-from 1942, when the United States entered the North African campaign of World War II, through 1973. He reveals how American film and literary, his…
