On behalf of the Government of Catalonia, I am pleased to welcome you to Barcelona, capital of studies on the Middle East and North Africa, on the occasion of WOCMES Barcelona 2010.

Catalonia is known for its solid Mediterranean tradition and vocation, which has meant, among other things, a great interest in studies on the Arab and Islamic world and the Mediterranean region. This interest is for obvious reasons if we consider its geographical position as well as the role it has played in this area throughout history. This interest has contributed greatly to promoting the creation of organisations such as the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) or the large number of departments of Arab and Islamic studies in Catalan universities, leaders in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern studies, most notably the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB).

So it is in this context that the Government of Catalonia has supported WOCMES Barcelona 2010, organised by the IEMed and the UAB. This support has been expressed since both institutions were chosen to organise this 3rd World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies, in early 2008.

Therefore, after more than two years of intensive preparations, I am pleased to present a scientific programme with more than 500 academic sessions and more than 2,500 participants from 72 countries. An intensive task that, characterised by great excellence, has aimed from the outset to facilitate exchange of knowledge between researchers, strengthen networking and foster a diversity of approaches to studies on the Middle East and North Africa.

I hope that your time in Catalonia and Barcelona is as pleasant as possible and that the work undertaken during WOCMES Barcelona 2010 is rewarding.

Au nom du gouvernement de la Generalitat de Catalogne, je suis très heureux de vous accueillir à Barcelone, capitale des études sur le Moyen-Orient et l’Afrique du Nord, à l’occasion du congrès WOCMES Barcelone 2010.

La Catalogne est connue pour sa solide vocation méditerranéenne, vocation qui s’est toujours accompagnée d’un grand intérêt pour les études sur le monde arabe et islamique et la région méditerranéenne dans son ensemble. Un intérêt qui tient à des raisons évidentes liées à la position géographique de la Catalogne et au rôle qu’elle a joué dans la région tout au long de l’histoire. L’ancrage méditerranéen de la Catalogne a ainsi largement contribué à la création d’organismes comme l’Institut européen de la Méditerranée (IEMed) ou les nombreux départements d’études arabes et islamiques des universités catalanes, qui, à l’instar de l’Université autonome de Barcelone (UAB), sont à la pointe des études sur la Méditerranée et le Moyen-Orient.

C’est dans ce contexte que le gouvernement de la Generalitat de Catalogne a décidé d’apporter son soutien à l’organisation du WOCMES Barcelone 2010, organisé par l’IEMed et l’UAB. Un soutien qui s’est manifesté dès le choix de la candidature de ces deux institutions pour l’organisation de cette troisième édition du Congrès Mondial des Études sur le Moyen-Orient, au début de l’année 2008.

Ainsi, après plus de deux ans d’intenses préparatifs, j’ai le plaisir de vous présenter aujourd’hui un programme scientifique de plus de 500 sessions académiques, réunissant plus de 2500 participants provenant de 72 pays. Ce travail intensif, caractérisé par un haut niveau d’excellence, a eu dès le départ pour objectif de faciliter l’échange de connaissances entre les chercheurs, de renforcer le travail en réseau et de favoriser la diversité d’approches des études sur le Moyen-Orient et l’Afrique du Nord.

J’espère que vous passerez un séjour profitable et agréable en Catalogne et à Barcelone, et vous souhaite de fructueux travaux tout au long du WOCMES Barcelone 2010.

As President of WOCMES Barcelona 2010 and Director General of the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed), I am pleased to welcome you to this great event. Barcelona is a city open to the world with a clear orientation towards the Mediterranean, this sea that touches and gives its name to a region that we identify with and which includes this Middle East and North Africa that are the object of study of this congress.

Barcelona has inherited centuries of history that fuse with our sea. And this is why, in the current context, it has also been the cradle of significant political processes which have marked the most recent decades and reveal a change in our societies. Mediterranean societies are diverse, complex and plural, but today they wish to bring together their complex historical and cultural legacy and ambitiously envisage a shared and promising future. Thus, in 1995 Barcelona hosted the birth of the Mediterranean policy of Europe and the partner countries, the so-called Barcelona Process. Re-launched today with the development of the Union for the Mediterranean and the European Neighbourhood Policy, it aspires to build a common future of prosperity shared between the two shores of the Mediterranean allowing us to overcome inequalities. Today, Barcelona symbolises this ambition. In Barcelona and many other places, we believe, as obstinate as it may seem, that this ambition is now more necessary than ever.

This endeavour has always been shared by both Catalonia and Spain, the main actors in the process and catalysers throughout history of this sense of being a bridge between cultures, a symbol of the contact between the Mediterranean peoples and a nexus in the evolution of sciences, arts and beliefs. Our country’s mission as a bridge has been exemplified by historical figures such as Ramon Llull or Averroes, who between diverse cultures, making the practice of fusion into a real art. Today, centuries later, many people follow their legacy, and here, in Europe and in other friendly countries, within diverse disciplines and professional fields, they focus on the Middle East and North Africa. Academics, scholars, researchers, professors, journalists, analysts, advisors, politicians, diplomats, artists and interested members of the general public make up a corpus of knowledge undoubtedly indispensable to WOCMES Barcelona 2010. In Spain, there is a long-standing interest in the study of the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa. The links that we have historically maintained with these regions have given us great knowledge and experience that this congress will enable us to share with the world.

We are proud to bring together such an important representation of the intellectual and university world interested in these issues in a distinguished academic and cultural programme that, undoubtedly, will allow us to foster a high level, impartial, informed and open dialogue based on shared values such as respect, tolerance, responsibility, coexistence and good neighbourliness. One of the main objectives of the European

Message of welcome from the Director General of the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed)

10 WOCMES10 WOCMES

Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) is, in fact, to foster the production of knowledge and act as a facilitator to create outstanding events such as this congress, which will help us strengthen the links between the diverse fields of our societies. For us, it is a crucial mission: to act as a facilitator to bring about a transfer between the theoretical and practical world, between thought and the social dynamic; and to enable a confluence of dynamics that generate new drives, new synergies and strengthen lines of work between diverse disciplines, professions and study groups from different parts of the world. Sharing and debating this knowledge will provide complementariness and multiply visions of the future, interpretations and readings of reality, past and present, that we hope will lend a note of optimism to an overly complex international context.

Our land, which has been and is the origin and destination of the most diverse human movements, is characterised today as a host country. We hope you feel at home. Today, it is a diverse and unique society at the same time. This also reminds us of the responsibility we have assumed as a country in establishing the initiative of the Alliance of Civilizations, and it is in this framework that hosting this congress means a new challenge and the opening of new opportunities. As organisers, we have sought to provide platforms of exchange and communication, to build this programme of academic content and human contacts you are now holding and nurture it with your personal and intellectual contribution.

WOCMES Barcelona 2010 will enable us to understand and explore everything that affects the people who live in the Mediterranean region and, in short, to get to know ourselves a little better. In 21st century society, all of us, wherever we come from, are also in essence a little Mediterranean and undoubtedly share the enormous responsibility of working to understand each other better.

En tant que président du WOCMES Barcelone 2010 et en tant que Directeur Général de l’Institut européen de la Méditerranée (IEMed), j’ai le plaisir de vous souhaiter très cordialement la bienvenue à cette grande manifestation. Barcelone est une ville ouverte au monde et clairement orientée vers la Méditerranée, cette mer qui l’entoure et qui donne son nom à toute une région à laquelle nous nous identifions ; une région qui englobe ce Moyen-Orient et cette Afrique du Nord qui constituent l’objet d’étude de ce congrès.

Barcelone est l’héritière d’une histoire millénaire qui se confond avec celle de notre mer. Et c’est précisément pour cette raison que, dans le contexte actuel, elle est devenue le berceau de processus politiques majeurs qui ont marqué les dernières décennies et qui mettent en évidence le changement qui s’est produit dans nos sociétés. Les sociétés méditerranéennes sont diverses, complexes et plurielles, mais de nos jours, elles souhaitent unir leur héritage historique et culturel, même complexe, pour, dans un esprit ambitieux, envisager un futur partagé et prometteur. C’est ainsi qu’en 1995, Barcelone a accueilli la naissance de la politique méditerranéenne de l’Europe et des pays méditerranéens partenaires qui a pris le nom de Processus de Barcelone. Ayant été relancé de nos jours grâce au déploiement de l’Union pour la Méditerranée et à la Politique européenne de voisinage, il aspire à construire une destinée commune de prospérité partagée entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée de façon à vaincre toutes les inégalités. Barcelone symbolise aujourd’hui cette ambition. À Barcelone et dans beaucoup d’autres endroits, on pense que cette ambition, toute volontariste qu’elle puisse sembler, se révèle aujourd’hui plus nécessaire que jamais.

Cette entreprise a toujours été partagée tant par la Catalogne que par l’Espagne, les deux acteurs principaux de ce processus, les catalyseurs, au fil de l’histoire, de ce sentiment de pont jeté entre les cultures, symbole du contact entre les peuples méditerranéens, trait d’union dans l’évolution des sciences, des arts et des croyances. Cette mission de pont exercée par notre pays s’est vu reflétée dans des personnages historiques tels que Raymond Lulle ou Averroès qui ont chevauché entre différentes cultures et qui, à force de pratiquer la fusion, en ont fait tout un art. De nos jours, bien des siècles après, nombreuses sont les personnes qui continuent à travailler sur cet héritage ; des personnes qui, ici ou en Europe ou dans d’autres pays amis, à partir des multiples disciplines ou branches professionnelles qu’elles exercent, ont les yeux posés sur le Moyen-Orient et l’Afrique du Nord. Des professeurs d’université, des experts, des chercheurs, des enseignants, des journalistes, des analystes, des conseilleurs, des hommes politiques, des diplomates, des artistes, le grand public en général forment un corpus de connaissances qui, indéniablement, s’avérera primordial pour le WOCMES

Message de bienvenue du Directeur Général de l’Institut européen de la Méditerranée (IEMed)

12 WOCMES

Barcelone 2010. Il existe en Espagne un intérêt séculaire envers l’étude des peuples qui composent le Moyen-Orient et l’Afrique du Nord. Les liens que nous y avons tissés sont un bagage dont nous tirons profit, un bagage que ce congrès nous permettra d’ouvrir davantage au monde.

C’est pour nous une fierté d’accueillir une représentation aussi grande du monde intellectuel et universitaire intéressée par les thèmes de ce congrès qui sont axés autour d’un programme académique et culturel de très haut niveau. Nous sommes certains que ce programme nous permettra de lancer un dialogue ouvert, d’une très grande qualité, un dialogue impartial, se fondant sur une bonne information et des valeurs communes comme le respect, la tolérance, la responsabilité, la convivialité et le bon voisinage. L’un des principaux objectifs de l’Institut européen de la Méditerranée (IEMed) est, précisément, de favoriser la production de connaissances et d’intervenir en tant que promoteur de circonstances exceptionnelles, comme ce congrès destiné à nous aider à resserrer les liens entre les différents espaces de nos sociétés. C’est pour nous une mission cruciale : agir en tant que promoteur afin que se produise un transfert entre le monde théorique et la mise en pratique, entre la pensée et la dynamique sociale, faciliter une confluence de dynamiques à même d’engendrer de nouveaux élans, de nouvelles synergies et de renforcer des lignes de travail entre les différentes disciplines, les différentes professions, les différents groupes d’études en provenance des différentes parties du monde. Mettre en commun, débattre et partager ces connaissances nous permettra de nous complémenter et de multiplier les visions d’avenir, les interprétations et les lectures de la réalité, tant du passé que du présent ; des interprétations et des lectures qui, nous l’espérons, apporteront un rayon d’optimisme dans un contexte international devenu par trop complexe.

Notre terre, qui fut et qui est l’origine et la destination des mouvements humains les plus divers, se caractérise aujourd’hui comme étant une terre d’accueil. Nous espérons que vous vous y sentirez un peu comme chez vous. De nos jours, la société est à la fois diverse et singulière. Ceci nous rappelle la responsabilité que nous avons acquise en tant que pays en nous lançant dans l’initiative de l’Alliance des civilisations. Dans ce cadre, accueillir ce congrès dans notre pays représente pour nous un nouveau défi et l’ouverture de nouvelles opportunités. En tant qu’organisateurs, nous avons veillé à la mise en place de plateformes d’échanges et de communication et à l’élaboration d’un programme académique et de contacts humains. Il est maintenant entre vos mains et c’est à vous de lui donner vie, de le faire croître par votre collaboration personnelle et intellectuelle.

WOCMES Barcelone 2010 nous permettra de connaître et d’approfondir tout ce qui touche les personnes qui vivent dans la région méditerranéenne et, en définitive, de nous connaître un peu mieux nous-mêmes. Dans la société du XXIe siècle, d’où que nous venions, nous sommes par essence un peu méditerranéens et, indubitablement, nous partageons l’énorme responsabilité de travailler à une meilleure compréhension mutuelle.

The Mediterranean of the 20th Century. Realities and images

Organisation: European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and EFE News AgencyWith the collaboration of Government of Catalonia and Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and CooperationCurator: Tomás Alcoverro

Exhibition Room 1 to Palau Robert (Passeig de Gràcia, 107. Barcelona)From 7 June to 29 August 2010Opening hours: from Monday to Saturday, from 10 to 7 pm. Sundays and public holidays, from 10 am to 2.30 pm

We propose a journey through the turbulent century we have left behind using 125 photos provided by the EFE news agency photo archive, with the aim of recalling the most important events that marked the course of the region during the 20th century. From the end of the great empires to the creation of the new states; from bloody conflicts to the search for peace; from the traditional and rural world to urban modernity. A collection of realities and views on this lively, diverse Mediterranean of ours.

The Exhibition is divided into five sections: “Tumultuous Start to the Century (1900-1930)“ “From the Belle Époque to the End of European Hegemony (1930-1945) ““The Glorious Thirty (1945-1973) ““Crisis and Withdrawal in an uncertain World (1973-1995) ““Towards a Shared Mediterranean (1995-2010)”.

There are many Mediterraneans. The diversity of its people is so great that it calls into question all the egocentrisms started by ancient civilisations and powerful contemporary hegemonies. The Mediterranean has become the world’s most striking frontier, with a true fracture in the living standards between north and south. At the same time, however, it is the meeting place between East and West, where empires and cultures are born and die and where there are people who write from left to right and others who write from right to left; where daily coexistence with the “other” is a permanent challenge. The big port cities of the past and present are the main actors in its history. Three-quarters of Europe’s population and half the inhabitants of the Arab counties live there. This string of cities – Istanbul, Alexandria, Beirut, Tel Aviv, Algiers, Barcelona, Marseille, Naples and Athens – is the froth on the coastal urban development which dominates the inland territories. It is where the problems of rising demographics and a shortfall of housing and public services meet; it is where the spontaneous vitality of the people has its raison d’être, where identities, religions and languages cannot be crushed by either war or political conflict.

Arabic Orchestra of Barcelona

Monday, July 19th at 8.30 pmPlaça Cívica – UAB Campus

For five years now, the Orquestra Àrab de Barcelona has been echoing the thoughts, voices and dreams of the alleys of Barcelona, of the emigrants, and of the new generation. They play a melange of senses, languages, and melting identities. The OAB performs to present difference, to raise awareness against stereotypes, and to deliver a message of hope.

The OAB’s repertoire encompasses a wide variety of themes from solidarity to the country and the nature of life. They play the political sensitivity to highlight the internationally common humane values. They juggle words and expressions to enrich the context and amuse the listener.

Depuis cinq ans maintenant, l’Orquestra Àrab de Barcelona (OAB) s’est fait l’écho musical des pensées, des voix et des rêves des ruelles de Barcelone, des émigrants et de la nouvelle génération. Ils mêlent ainsi sens, langages et identités. L’OAB se produit pour sensibiliser aux différences, faire prendre conscience des préjugés qui nous habitent et pour délivrer un message d’espoir.

Le répertoire de l’OAB compte une grande variété de thèmes, de la solidarité internationale à la nature de l’existence. Leurs textes, engagés, soulignent les valeurs humaines communes que partagent les pays. Ils jonglent avec les mots et les expressions pour nous éclairer, mais aussi simplement pour amuser l’auditeur.

Wednesday, July 21st at 8.30 pmPlaça Cívica – UAB Campus

The group also presents personal compositions inspired by Saharan and Tamazight rhythms.

Dans « Argelian Soul », Neila Benbey voyage au cœur de l’Algérie pour nous présenter de grands classiques de la musique populaire algérienne, adaptés avec beaucoup d’originalité au XXIème siècle par sa propre troupe de « fusion méditerranéenne ».

Le répertoire compte des versions de chansons traditionnelles et populaires algériennes, des arrangements de musique chaabi, d’autres transformées en mélodies pop plus actuelles, comme Chahlet Laayani et Bakhta, et enfin certaines, plus tribales, d’artistes berbères et sahraouis. Il compte aussi des compositions personnelles inspirées des rythmes du Sahara et des Amazighs.

Laila’s BirthdayEid Milad Laila A film by Rashid Masharawi

A former judge who still retains his regal bearing, Abu Laila (stone-faced Mohamed Bakri, a Palestinian Buster Keaton), now drives a taxi to make ends meet. His customers are a motley cross-section of Ramallah’s citizens: a young Romeo who hires the taxi to have a place “alone” with his lover; a housewife who’ll stop anywhere there’s a free-food giveaway (“Is this Fatah? Hamas? Who knows?

Our harried hero is also trying to regain his former position (his frequent trips to the Ministry of Justice are both comical and heart-breaking) and, today at least, needs a birthday cake for his daughter.

Made in Europe A film by Inan Temelkuran

Stories of Turkish people living in three European cities: Madrid, Paris and Berlin. Most are illegal immigrants and, while seeking permits or living in hideouts, they go through life dealing with humiliation, insecurities, betray-als and self-pity. The stories reflect the schizophrenic nature of the immigrant world, which turns the movie into something more than life in Europe.

Hey, do not forget the cumin! A film by Hala Alabdalla

Three voices: Jamil Hatmal and Sarah Kane, who are both absent and have left our planet, and Darina Al Joundi, who is resisting. All three of them are linked to texts. All three of them have chosen a form of artistic expression in their bid for freedom. Through the film, and by trying to draw with them this circular relation between Life, place, exile / voice, text, art / madness, suicide, death, we shall come to realize that this circle may also be the path we all follow: To fall or not to fall?

Maid for Sale Bonne à vendre

A film by Dima Al Joundi

This socially concerned film reveals that among 800,000 immigrant workers in Lebanon, some 150,000 are maids from Sri Lanka. Many find themselves in situations worse than those they left behind at home. Many have their passports confiscated, some are locked up in their employers’ houses and are paid as little as $100 a month. The situation drives many to run away, often to equally bad or even worse problems. Others attempt suicide. The film draws a bleak picture of an unfortunate situation found in many Arab countries, not just Lebanon.

Pomegranates and Myrrh Al Mor wa al Rumman

A film by Najwa Najjar

Ramallah, this decade. A free spirited woman dancer, Kamar, finds herself the wife of a prisoner, Zaid, and away from everything she loves until she returns to the dance, defying society’s taboos. At the dance, Kamar is confronted with Kais, a Palestinian returnee, who has taken Kamar’s role as the head choreographer. Sparks fly between Kamar and Kais, creating more than a passionate, emotional dance for both of them. Matters become even more complicated when Zaid’s sentence is extended.

Prison no. 5: 1980-845 nolu cezaevi: 1980-84

A film by Çayan Demirel

This is a documentary about Diyarbakir prison, where some of the most horrific atrocities of state terror in recent history took place after the military coup of 12th Septem-ber 1980. The documentary exposes how the use of sys-tematic torture and Turkification policies were imposed by the state upon all prisoners, most of whom were Kurdish. While the Turkish military authorities describe the prison as a “military school”, the prisoners describe it as “years of indescribable brutality”. The only way to break the chain of atrocities was through resistance and self-sacrifice. The prisoners took up the challenge to break it and 3 decades later director Çayan Demirel takes up the challenge again to show us what happened.

Messages from ParadiseA film by Daniela Swarowsky & Samuli Schielke

In a village in Egypt, young men dream of migrating to Europe where they hope to find all the good things they lack at home: money, freedom, new horizons. In Vienna, Egyptian migrants long to return home. Their tales of migration reveal that the realities of living in Europe are more complex and nuanced than they themselves might have dreamt. Paradise, according to both sides of this fictional dialogue, is always else-where. And perhaps happiness lies not in making old dreams come true, but in finding new ones.

Sayed Kashua – Forever Scared A film by Dorit Zimbalist

“I‘m scared of cars, of dogs, of snakes. I’m scared of airplanes, helicopters, tanks and soldiers. I’m scared of terrorist attacks. I’m scared of Jews, I’m scared of Arabs, I’m scared that one day they’ll put us in refugee camps”. (Sayed Kashua, Haaretz Newspaper 2002). Sayed Kashua always feels he doesn’t belong. The Jews don’t like him because he is an Arab. The Arabs don’t like him because he is successful. The Arabs think he is a collaborator. The Jews think he is an alcoholic. He is always viewed as The Other, and he is always scared.This is an intimate yet political portrait of a writer and publicist who is also a loving husband and a father of two. His family pays a heavy price for the choices he makes and the perpetual wandering from place to place, from nation to nation, belonging neither here nor there.

The Glass HouseA film by Hamid Rahmanian & Melissa Hibbard

The fringes of Iranian society can be a lonely place, especially if you are a teenage girl with few resources to fall back on. The Glass House follows four girls striving to pull themselves out of the margins by attending a one-of-a-kind rehabilitation centre in uptown Tehran. Forget about the Iran that you have seen before. With a virtually invisible camera, the girls of The Glass House take us on a never-before-seen tour of the underclass of Iran with their brave and defiant stories: Samira struggles to overcome forced drug addiction; Mitra harnesses abandonment into her creative writing; Sussan teeters on a dangerous ledge after years of sexual abuse; and Nazila burgeons out of her hatred with her blazing rap music. This ground-breaking documentary reflects a side of Iran few have access to or paid attention to: a society lost to its traditions with nothing meaningful to replace them and a group of courageous women working to instil a sense of empowerment and hope into the minds and lives of otherwise discarded teenage girls.

The Long NightLa longue nuit

A film by Hatem Ali

One night, three political prisoners are released from jail, but a fourth one is not. Through one night, one long night, the film depicts the details of their release from prison back to life and their families’ reactions. The film also tackles the different lives of the different members of these families in their struggle to meet the daily needs of life where some choose, voluntarily, to be in exile, while others pay a very expensive price for staying: shunning, isolation and marginalization. As one of the families just released from prison awaits his “corner stone”, the latter decides to head straight to his village, his birthplace. Waiting for the daylight, the fourth prisoner lives in a long night; he lives on the hope that this night will one day come to an end.

L’envers du miroir

A film by Nadia Cherabi-Labidi

Selma, une jeune femme erre dans les rues d’Alger portant un bébé tel un fardeau… Elle monte dans le taxi de Kamel, où elle abandonne aussitôt son enfant. Par ce geste, Selma a sans doute, mis son passé en attente. Kamel, va, à son corps défendant, relancer ce temps à l’arrêt qui est, en quelque sorte, aussi, le sien. Mais peut-on évaluer l’intensité d’un feu seulement à partir de la fumée qui s’en dégage. En allant au delà de ce qui est apparent, on croise alors dans la vie comme dans le reflet d’un miroir, son double, sa propre image. Ce film est un fragment de miroir.

The One Man Village A film by Simon El Habre

Semaan is leading a quiet life on his farm in the small village of Ain al-Halazoun in the Lebanese mountains. The hamlet was completely emptied and destroyed in combats during the civil war in Lebanon between 1975 and 1990. Today, many years after an official reconciliation, its inhabitants, who are all from one family, regularly go back to the village to cultivate their plots of land or visit their houses and always leave before sunset. In his comforting and humorous film, Simon El Habre observes the life in his quasi-ghost vil-lage and tries to reflect on the collective and individual memory in a country that seems to live in a collective amnesia and is vulnerable to a new civil war.

Twenty Bist

A film by Abdolreza Kahani

Twenty tells the story of Mr Soleimani (Parastui), a grim-faced lonely old man who pays minimum wages to, and demands maximum hours from, the put-upon staff at his banqueting hall which caters for both weddings and funerals. He shows no sympathy or understanding, despite their endless litany of woes: a one-armed cook, for example; a widowed waitress ostracized by society carrying her child around on her hip; and homeless staff members who sleep in trucks or buses before they come back in again the next morning.As deprived and ill-treated as they are, however, the staff are still desperate when Mr Soleimani announces his intention to shut down in 20 days due to ill health, after which the site will be sold, razed to the ground and a condominium for the rich erected in its place.

Touareg Art and Poetry for the Third MillenniumFurigraphier le vide A film by Hélène Claudot-Hawad & Nathalie Michaud

Comment être nomade aujourd’hui? Comment pour-suivre la marche qui multiplie les horizons? Comment occuper le vide? Ces questions douloureuses se posent avec une violence accrue dans les espaces arides du Sahara et du Sahel à l’économie asphyxiée, à la popula-tion criminalisée et aux territoires âprement convoités pour leurs richesses minières. Pour résister au chaos et au non-sens, pour lutter contre l’ultime dépossession de soi : celle de l’imaginaire, quarante-quatre poètes touareg réunis pendant trois nuits et trois jours en novembre 2006 à Agadez dessinent des parcours sonores libérés des entraves qui immobilisent aujourd’hui leur société et réinventent à leur manière les trames du présent.
