This book was made possible by a grant from the Crossroads Institute
This volume features a selection of key papers that were originally presented at recent meetings of the Tangier International Conferences. Convened amidst the still unfolding so-called ‘Arab Spring’, the themes of intermediality, performance and the public sphere have generated immense interest around the globe. Included are contributions from leading scholars on three continents and from a dozen countries: Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Nigeria, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, and USA.
The book has two parts. The first focuses on the intermedial connections of theater, dance and the visual arts, with a specific concentration in documentary theatre, new media practices, staged photography and installations.
The second part aims at reframing the discussion on the public sphere and questioning the performative articulations of political critique. Indeed, the revolutionary "Arab Spring" has been fueled as never before by a ‘techno-imagination’ —a powerful and ever evolving relationship between images and texts.
A total of twenty-four papers are presented including: a preface by the editors; two chapters translated into English (from the original Arabic); three chapters presented in the original French, and three chapters contributed by emerging scholars.
