Projecting Jewishness in Moroccan contemporary cinema: Fin Mashi Ya Moshé? and Aida as case studies
Moroccan Jews have always presented a thorny topic; an intricate and a controversial issue that has constantly been accompanied by a group of discussions and a set of interrogations in various fields. In postcolonial Morocco, they were portrayed as exiled diasporic figures whose history and memory were monopolized or confiscated by the two main narratives of both Zionism and Arab nationalism. After decades of voluntary oblivion towards Morocco’s …

Routini Al Yawmi: Exploring taboo, risk, and the erotic gaze across Moroccan (non)digital landscapes
This paper dwells into the sensitive topic of eroticism and sexuality within Islam, with a specific focus on contemporary Morocco.

Diasporic sexualities and generational trauma in Etaf Rum’s “A Woman is No Man
Generational trauma refers to the transmission of trauma from one generation to the next. This type of trauma can occur either consciously or unconsciously as parents pass on their lingering pain to their children. In communities where women’s bodies and sexualities are monitored, feelings of shame and fear are more likely to occur. This paper aims to examine the intersection between sexuality and generational trauma in a Palestinian-American dia…
Decolonizing Morocco in French colonial postcard photography
Postcard photography experienced significant popularity during the early years of Western colonial expansions, unveiling the essence of modernism within the artistic nature and form of these creations. Nonetheless, colonial postcard photography reveals that this medium of communication merely represents a superficial layer of modernism. It becomes evident that such artistic and cultural productions played a substantial role in the conquest and pa…
Decolonising Moroccan Tourism: Unveiling New Forms of Global and Cultural Hegemony
This article examines the intricate relationship between tourism and culture through the lens of “self” empowerment and disempowerment. It explores the dynamics between hosts and guests, drawing parallels with the coloniser-colonised dichotomy, to uncover the multifaceted interactions that bind these groups. These interactions are influenced not only by economic necessity but also by cultural backgrounds that highlight the negotiations and confro…
Moroccan Jews: Nostalgia and echoes of national memory 'Tinghir - Jerusalem: Les Echoes du Mellah' as a case study
The Jewish past has always represented a distinct chapter in Morocco's history; an embodiment of a historic component of Moroccan society. 'Tinghir – Jerusalem: Les Echoes du Mellah' (2013): a documentary by Moroccan director Kamal Hachkar, excavates history through places and testimonies of Jews who left Morocco towards 'Israel' and Muslims still living in Tinghir in an attempt to investigate the factors that shaped Moroccan Jews' migration. Goi…
Rethinking fashion photography: Reconstructing identities, decolonising bodies and resistance in postcolonial Morocco
Neither Occidentalism nor Orientalism in Al Hajari’s Nasir al- Din ala al-Qawm al-Kafirin 1611–1613
Many Western historians, cultural and literary critics have viewed travel and exploration as purely western. This total exclusion of Arabo-Islamic travel has been done to demonstrate the Western sense of modernity and cultural superiority over the constructed weak “other”. However, Moroccans, Arabs and Muslims in general have been curious about the lands of the Christians and managed to break the cultural and religious barriers by reaching such l…
The Anxieties of the Silent Colonial Discourse in the Sheik
In this paper I examine the Orientalist discourse of the silent movie The Sheik and its contribution to the cultural construction of the Western empire. I argue that despite the orientalizing representation of the Arab “other,” this discourse fails to complete its mission and hence problematizes the cultural identity of the sheik. The movie focuses on the sheik as a villainous Arab whose identity, as the film develops, is revealed to be of Europe…
