Kaouti's "No Man's Land" now in ebook edition

RE: (ROBERSON) USA-Morocco NGO interculturalism | conferences, publishing, collaborations | “Arab Spring” themed materials now in ebook  

SUBJECT: Kaouti’s "No Man's Land" now available worldwide in both ebook (instant digital delivery) and print editions

Hailed as "one of the most important plays in the Moroccan artistic repertoire following independence.."

--Khalid Amine, Professor and President of the International Centre for Performance Studies (ICPS) Tangier

Ready for course adoption: “Arab Sprint”, human rights, Arabic to English translations, contemporary Moroccan literature, Arab theatre/performance

And situated as “a product of Morocco's traditional 'open space' for debate - the theatre, No Man's Land foregrounds and predicts the “Mouvement du 20 Février”. It shrewdly highlights the seemingly irreconcilable struggles, conflicting aspirations, and complex socio-political realities of postcolonial Morocco. As various groups vie for power in the still-unfolding “Arab Spring”, Kaouti’s No Man’s Land reminds us that we ought to be paying closer attention to artists, the voices of 'insiders' and to performative powers."

--George F Roberson, Chair, Partners for International Collaboration and Education

Includes the forward, "No Man's Land: Voices From 'Deep Morocco'" by Khalid Amine

Translated from Arabic by Mohamed Yassin El Harruchi

9th Annual International Conference, Tangier - Tetouan
Call for Papers: Performing the (Arab) Public Sphere
Morocco, June 1-3, 2013

Hosted by the International Centre for Performance Studies (ICPS) – Tangier

The conference aims at reframing the discussion on the public sphere and questioning the performative articulations of political critique. It is a continuation of our discussions in the “Performance and
Transformations” conference (2012).

Excerpt: The Arab world “has long being characterized by its Orientalizers, past and present, as not only lacking in civility but also in public-ness and public-ity.”(Seteney Shami, 2009: 14). Is there an “Arab Public Sphere”? Does it conform to the Habermasian model? Or else, it is a post-Bourgeois model? Is it different from the public sphere of the North? Or else, an exemplary instance of what Gayatri Spivak calls the “Feudal North-in-the-South”?

Arabic, English, French: simultaneous interpreting in all panel sessions. Proposal deadline: 31 January 2013
