Marokko er blevet selvstændigt, men Malika konfronteres atter med Frankrig, da en rig fransk familie tilbyder at tage en af hendes døtre i huset. Malika kæmper forbitret imod. I den tredje episode er den tidligere kolonimagt igen omdrejningspunktet. Hendes søn Ahmed er flyttet til Paris. Malika har altid følt, at Frankrig stjal hendes søn, men hun indser, at han på grund af sin homoseksualitet ikke har haft andet valg.

This book is a combination travelogue and cultural memoir of true stories of an American couple who lived in Morocco for four years. They traveled extensively throughout the country while working as buyers for a company that was exporting Berber carpets, jewelry, and clothing. Their travels took them on multiple tours of Morocco's imperial cities - Marrakesh, Fez, Rabat and Meknes. They roamed the mountain villages, countryside, and desert oases looking for antique kilims. They spent countless hours exploring the museums, sights, souks, and bazaars, getting to know the shop owners, craftsmen, weavers, and street food vendors.Much of the book focuses on traditional Moroccan culture and mysticism which is revealed by their Moroccan business partner Naima as she takes them to family weddings, social gatherings, and visits to a traditional Moroccan psychic known as a shawafa. The shawafa is possessed by a djinn spirit who conveys unexplainable knowledge about the lives of the two Americans in stunning detail, and then offers sage advice. Through their firsthand experiences the two Americans learn that Moroccans hold a deeply mystical perception of reality. Consequently, Moroccans do not perceive time and space as we do in the West. For Moroccans time is a circle rather than a line, and that which happened fifty years ago is as relevant as that which happened yesterday. We have much to learn from the Moroccan Mystique.The book is filled with colorful tales, photos and paintings that give the reader a deeper understanding of the enormous contribution Morocco has made in architecture, design, weaving, music, dance, cuisine, and mysticism.

"Azzedine Downes moves between cultures, places, and time in this wryly comedic, at times mysterious, and always curious memoir of a lifelong nomad.The best strategy was to drink tea, smile, and enjoy the frustration of not knowing where the story leads. If time is endless, why rush to the point of a story? Now an international leader in the fight for animal welfare, Azzedine began his career as a volunteer teacher and later was appointed to leadership in the U.S. Peace Corps. An American Muslim with Irish roots, he's a natural cultural shape-shifter, immersing himself in the cultures of Morocco, Eastern Europe, Northwest Africa, Israel and his native United States. Along the way he befriends the glue-sniffing shoemakers of Fez, becomes the de facto manager of a traveling break-dance troupe, dodges bullets on his daily commute, and finds himself cursed over a feast of couscous gone very, very wrong. But his most powerful story recounts Azzedine's marriage to an elusive girl from Tangiers. Arranged after only two meetings their love story ultimately spans continents and withstands language barriers, international intrigue, and one very antagonistic State Department bureaucrat. A labyrinth of tales as complex as its namesake dish, The Couscous Chronicles is for anyone who believes that the only real failure is to remain unchanged and in place, that true love is always a blind leap, and that a good story over a cup of tea holds the power to change one's destiny"--

»Ich, ganz arglos, tat es, im Glauben, es sei so.«Berlin 2019. Ein nasskalter Apriltag. Die Malerin Laura Tillby freut sich auf ihre bevorstehende Hochzeit mit dem Galeristen Wolf van der See. Aber es kommt anders: Wolf und sein prominenter Vater werden unversehens verhaftet. Um dem Presserummel zu entgehen, legt man ihr nahe, Deutschland zu verlassen. Ihre Flucht führt sie bis nach Salamanca. Doch die Sicherheit in dieser lebendigen spanischen Stadt ist trügerisch. »Abkehr« ist das (in sich abgeschlossene) Finale einer Romanreihe, die überwiegend in Südfrankreich spielt.

Wie lassen sich die marokkanischen Soundarchive des Schriftstellers Paul Bowles aus den 1970er Jahren heute mit den Musiker*innen von damals anhören? Was hat ein Erdbeben in Agadir mit einem japanischen Science Fiction Film zu tun? Welchen Sound haben Steine? Und was erfahren wir über Umweltverschmutzung wenn wir den Agar Agar Algen zuhören?Auf der Grundlage kritischer Sound Studies, ethnographischer Forschung und künstlerischer Praxis bietet dieses Buch vielschichtige Erzählungen über akustische Praktiken in Marokko. Gilles Aubrys Forschungen über die klanglichen Dimensionen unserer Umwelt, reichen von tierischen, pflanzlichen und mineralischen Stimmen über rituelle Praktiken bis hin zu technologischen Infrastrukturen. Das arabische Wort für diese Stimmen im körperlichen aber auch im technologischen Sinn ist Sawt. In Kooperationen mit lokalen Musiker*innen, Künstler*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen erkundet Aubry experimentelle Settings, in denen das Zuhören zur Grundlage eines "Sonic Pluralism" wird.Die dichten Beschreibungen der multidisziplinären Forschungen sind durch eigenständige Bildstrecken ergänzt. Über QR Codes ist der Text mit audiovisuellen Essays und Kompositionen des Künstlers verbunden. Das Layout des Buches nimmt diese enge Verknüpfung von digitalen und analogen Materialien auf.Über www.adocs.de wird das Buch auch als Open Access/E-Book zugänglich sein.

Bogens forfatter kalder sine toogtyve tekster erindringsessays – andre danske forfattere ville måske have kaldt dem skrøner (Jørn Riel), myter (Johannes V. Jensen), stykker (Hans-Jørgen Nielsen), sengelæsning (Frank Jæger), dameskrå (Klaus Rifbjerg), skilderier og rids (Albert Dam).Der er to længere rejsebreve fra Gdansk i Polen og Agadir i Marokko og et essay om, hvordan forfatteren nægtede at være soldat og militærnægter. Og et interview med Bob Dylan, da han fyldte 50. Et anti-interview? Der er stykker / skrøner / myter / sengelæsning / dameskrå / skilderier / rids om forfatterens syv år som jazzklarinettist og senere syv år som rocksaxofonist.Her er spring, der kilder – og kilder, der springer.

Der katalanische Maler Marià Fortuny i Marsal (1838-1874) und der aus Paris stammende Henri Regnault (1843-1871) sind wichtige Vertreter einer orientalistisch geprägten Kunst. Die transregionale Studie vergleicht zentrale Werke der Maler, analysiert die Rezeption Marokkos in der Kunst Spaniens und Frankreichs und eröffnet somit ein facettenreiches und differenziertes Bild europäischer Orientalismen in der Malerei der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Künstlernetzwerke und wechselseitige Austauschprozesse zwischen französischen und spanischen Marokkomalern stehen im Zentrum der Betrachtung ebenso wie die in der Forschung bisher vernachlässigten Orientalismen Spaniens, das aufgrund seines kulturellen Erbes von al-Andalus im 19. Jahrhundert oftmals zum ,Orient' gezählt wurde. Rezeption Marokkos durch europäische Künstler in der Vorprotektoratszeit Erstmalige Betrachtung der bisher vernachlässigten Orientalismen Spaniens im 19. Jahrhundert

"A photographic tour of an exceptional villa in Tangier with a special focus of its museum-worthy collections of Morrocan artworks and objects.

Set in a lush garden, the house offers glimpses of the serene landscapes and fountains through windows, archways and loggias, as well as Pasti's scholarly collection of tiles and rare textiles from Africa, the Middle East, and southern Europe. Also on display are highly crafted wooden objects that Pasti has rescued from obscurity and destruction.

Ægteparret Mourad og Malika har barrikaderet sig fra hinanden og fra omverdenen i kælderen i huset i Tanger. Isnende kulde og tavshed har ødelagt deres forhold. Gradvis afsløres den begivenhed, der udløste krisen: Gennem datteren Samias dagbøger hører vi om en tidsskriftredaktør, som under dække af at ville udgive unge pigers digte krænker dem. Samia var 16 år, da hun mødte ham, og det fik fatale konsekvenser. Honning og Malurt skildrer et samfund, der er præget af korruption og dobbeltmoral, og blotlægger følelsen af skyld, tabet af selvagtelse, grænsen for hvad to mennesker kan magte.
