Revisiting Charles Perrault’s Iconic “Bluebeard” Serial Killer in Modern French Variants
“Bluebeard” (ATU 321: Maiden-Killer), a fairy tale about a wealthy noble man and serial killer, is the most gruesome of Charles Perrault’s fairy tales. Bluebeard epitomizes evil and horror. In Perrault’s tale, Bluebeard’s evilness is linked to patriarchy and power, as symbolized by the villain’s iconic blue beard. Historically linked to Henry VIII (1491–1547), King of England, Bluebeard has also been associated with Breton commander Gilles de Rai…
Kourat el Kadem
This article examines soccer culture and fandom in North African Francophone literature, focusing on sociological studies and the ideological underpinnings that exist between soccer culture, national identity and Islamism in post-riot 1988 Algeria.

Casanegra
This article examines film noir and violence in Casanegra (2008), a feature by Moroccan filmmaker Nour-Eddine Lakhmari. This socio-realist thriller follows the recent trend in Moroccan films that focus on the underdogs in contemporary Moroccan society, including films such as Nabil Ayouch's Ali Zaoua, Mohamed Asli's À Casablanca les anges ne volent pas, and Faouzi Bensaidi's WWW—What a Wonderful World. Casanegra foregrounds the hopes and disillus…
On Performative Encounters and the Marketing of Identities
In this essay I examine the portrayals and functions of the North African literary marketplace, or souk, as a platform of transgender exchange, identity building, and encounters between male and female characters in late nineteenth- and twentieth-century works by a number of North African Francophone writers. Looking at a range of texts by such writers, including Swiss-Russian novelist Isabelle Eberhardt; Algeria's Assia Djebar, Yamina Mechakra, …
