Roots of the New Arab Film
Roots of the New Arab Film deals with the generation of filmmakers from across North Africa and the Middle East who created an international awareness of Arab film from the mid-1980s onwards. These seminal filmmakers experienced the moment of national independence first-hand in their youth and retained a deep attachment to their homeland. Although these aspiring filmmakers had to seek their training abroad, they witnessed a time of filmic revival in Europe – Fellini and Antonioni in Italy, the French New Wave, and British Free Cinema. Returning home, these filmmakers brought a unique insider/outsider perspective to bear on local developments in society since independence, including the divide between urban and rural communities, the continuing power of traditional values and the status of women in a changing society. As they made their first films back home, the feelings of participation in a worldwide movement of new, independent filmmaking was palpable. Roots of the New Arab Film is a necessary and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the foundations of Arab cinema.

Guess at the Rest
This engaging study reveals how a half-hidden thread of Masonic symbolism runs through Hogarth's work. The classical and Biblical references, whose ambiguity and apparent paradoxical relation with the eighteenth-century situations depicted have often been underlined, gain coherence and unity when they are analyzed in the symbolic framework of freemasonry and alchemy Hogarth was busy both using and concealing in his prints. The coded meaning is often entirely at odds with the surface one, a factsuspected but never proved by critics so far. A very original and titillating book for academics and general reader alike. Readers will be intrigued by the secrecy of symbols from mythological, biblical and Masonic references and hidden codes that have to be deciphered. Furthermore, they will be also left intrigued by the secret message that the very popular and well-known painter is attempting to deliver. Academics will be interested in the book since this thorough approach has never been proposed by any of Hogarth's scholars so far.

Essaouira, endlich
Kaum jemand, der nicht schon davon geträumt hat: aus den Zwängen und Verpflichtungen des Alltags aufzubrechen, der eigenen Kultur zu entfliehen und im warmen Süden, in Asien, Afrika, der Karibik ein neues Leben zu beginnen, mit neuen Beziehungen, anderen Tätigkeiten, anderer Sexualität. Die Zahl der Migranten, die aus Europa und Nordamerika dann tatsächlich in die Entwicklungsländer des Südens ziehen, nimmt sich zwar im Vergleich mit den Migrationen in die andere Richtung bescheiden aus, ist aber doch ein zentrales Phänomen unserer Gesellschaft. Die Wiener Historikerin und Kulturanthropologin Doris Byer hat an einem der bevorzugten Orte dieser Sehnsucht gelebt und dort auf Tonband u...

Zeitgenössische Werke marokkanischer Künstler
Nicht nur in Deutschland sind die Werke marokkanischer Künstler nahezu unbekannt. Was sind die Gründe? Ist es der Alleinvertretungsanspruch des Westens in Sachen Kunst oder, wie Enwezor betont, die Unfähigkeit der westlichen Avantgarde, künstlerische Modernität außerhalb des Okzidents zu begreifen? Ist es die rätselhafte Zeichensprache einer islamischen Ästhetik, die dem europäischen Betrachter den Zugang erschwert, deren immanente Spiritualität jedoch Klee bewunderte, und deren metaphysische und kosmologische Vorstellungen dem von Kandinsky postulierten "Geistigen in der Kunst" entsprechen? Das Verdienst dieser Studie ist es, die scheinbar so fremd wirkenden Arbeiten marokkanische...
