خربشة وجه السلطة: الآرتيفيزم وجماليات الغضب في مصر
تطرح الورقة فرضية مفادها أنّ المجموعات والروابط التي نشطت مستخدمةً الفن في سياق الربيع العربي قد ارتبطت في حركتها صعودًا وهبوطًا، بمسار الغضب الجماهيري، وتعاقبت ضمن دورات تعبئة قصير5، ما عطل تحولها إلى شكل تنظيمي يتسم بالديمومة، وإن نجحت الدورات القصيرة في انجاز مهمتها، وذلك من خال الاحتلال البصري لحيز السلطة. تتناول الورقة دينامية الانخراط – الانسحاب من منظور دورات التعبئة وأفعال الانخراط المتعاقبة، مستنتجة الطرح القائل إنّ تناوب حوافز "السعادة الخاصة" و"الانشغال بالهم العام" ظلت تعدل بوصلة توجه هؤلاء الناشطين، لتلعب كعامل دافع لقرار الانخراط/الانسحاب، جنبا إلى جنب مع مشاعر الإحباط والرضا. ولسبر هذه الإشكالية، توظّف الورقة عدسة مركّبة لبناء فهم لعالم الفعل الجمعي للآرتيفيزم وآليات التفاعل بين فاعليه من فنانين وحركيين، وكيف صاغوا خطابهم على نحو يدمج أهدافًا بعينها ويترجمها إلى فعل تشاركي يعبّر عن هويتهم وتصوراتهم

Political activists or violent fans? Understanding the Moroccan Ultras perspective through social media
|
|
This study analyzed news stories published on the online sites of CNN, Al-Jazeera English, and Sputnik to investigate how the transnational news outlets framed the human suffering associated with the Syrian war.
|
|
Unlike prior studies that have tended to be based on traditional nation-state paradigms, this research approached the analysis from a cosmopolitan perspective. The findings revealed that in concert with standard journalistic routines and news values, all three news outlets commonly employed a mass death and displacement frame to depict human suffering inside Syria.

The Controversial Archive:
Negotiating Horror Images in Syria
A large part of the visual content in Syria is produced by local, freelance, or citizen journalists. The victims portrayed in their photos may be friends, relatives, or people from their neighbourhood. Only a very limited part of the content makes its way to international media, while most of it is archived and circulates only on the web. In the process, often the name of the photographer and the victims disappear, and the images circulate alone. They are orphan images, images that, in the words of the photographer Muzaffar Salman, “do not have a father, a mother, or a story, or a background, nothing”.
Does It Matter That Donald Trump Endorses Arab Despots?
Read what a number of experts told Carnegie Middle East Center in their analysis of Donald Trump endorsement of Arab despots.

Refugee Governance, State and Politics
in the Middle East
Refugee Governance, State and Politics in the Middle East examines the patterns of legal, political and institutional responses to large-scale Syrian forced migration. It analyses the motivations behind neighboring countries’ policy responses, how their responses change over time and how they have an impact on regional and global cooperation. Looking in particular at Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, three of the world’s top refugee hosting countries, this book explores how refugee governance differs across countries and why they diverge.
A New Venice Declaration from a "Coalition of the Lead Donors" on Israel/Palestine
|
Today, the EU faces a US administration that is tearing down the last parameters of standing US policy on Israel/ Palestine. This US policy has dangerous consequences. It risks exacerbating a conflict in Europe’s direct neighborhood and undermines established international norms and international law.

University professors concerned about academic freedom restrictions on
Maâti Monjib
On April 22, 2019, historian Maâti Monjib went on a 48-hour hunger strike. A professor and researcher at the Mohammed V University in Rabat, he is threatened with dismissal from the university and from the civil service, after having agreed to participate, as rapporteur, in Mounia Bennani-Chraïbi’s professorial thesis defense (HDR) on February 13, 2019, at the École normale supérieure (ENS) in Paris.
Today, Pr. Monjib risks being sacked by the administration of the Ministry of Higher Education, because of his participation, last February, at an academic event abroad.
