Call for Papers
Cinema and the Maghrib
Centre d’études maghrébines à Tunis
Dates: May 23-26, 2008
Though movies were made in the colonial Maghrib, the history of North African cinema in its own distinctive form begins with independence and the birth of the postcolonial nations in the region. It has benefited from numerous years of regional collaborations within the Maghrib, with other countries in the Middle East and with Europe. Though cinema as an industry is often dependent on national and international funding, and distribution in national, regional, and international markets mirrors global economic relationships, it has begun to see a measure of commercial success in the movie theaters of the region, and filmmakers from each nation have been able to participate in the elaboration of a national and regional cinema that has brought prestige through awards received by various North African directors and artists at international festivals in the Maghreb, Europe and at US film festivals.
The region has also become a popular site for directors from various countries, including Europe and the United States, to shoot their films. This conference explores all these aspects of the history and dynamics of filmmaking in and about the region. Proposals are invited from scholars working in fields such as film studies, history, literary and cultural studies, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, art history, architecture, geography, cartography, international relations, religious studies and any other related disciplines.
Topics to be explored include but are not limited to:
History and development of Maghribi cinema
Religion in cinema
Sexuality and Gender in film
Social and political issues in/on film
Aesthetic, thematic and narrative trends in Maghribi cinema
The Maghrib as setting in Western cinema
The impact of domestic and foreign film-making on North Africa states

L’histoire du cinéma maghrébin commence pour la plupart des pays au moment de l’indépendance et de la décolonisation de la région.

All cialis discount view that this, along with the extreme support and contribution of its employees has catapulted Kaar to its position today. Dès les premières années, ll’industrie du cinéma nord-africaine a bénéficié de nombreuses collaborations régionales (entre l’Algérie, la Tunisie et le Liban par exemple), avec d’autres pays du Moyen-Orient, l’Europe et l’Afrique sub-saharienne. Le cinéma dépend souvent de subventions nationales et internationales, et la distribution des films au niveau national, régional et international demeure souvent problématique. Cependant, les films connaissent souvent un succès national, et les réalisateurs nord-africains qui participent régulièrement et se voient décerner des prix aux festivals de cinéma sur le continent africain, en Europe et en Amérique du Nord (Etats-Unis et Canada) contribuent au prestige croissant d’un cinéma national et régional.
L’Afrique du Nord est également une région recherchée par des réalisateurs européens et nord-américains qui viennent y tourner leurs films. La conférence explore tous ces aspects de l’histoire du cinéma au Maghreb ainsi que les diverses relations qui régissent l’industrie du cinéma dans la région. Nous invitons les spécialistes qui travaillent dans le domaine des études cinématographiques, littéraires et culturelles, la linguistique, la sociologie, l’anthropologie, l’histoire de l’art, l’architecture, la géographie, la cartographie, les relations internationales, les études religieuses et toutes autres disciplines pertinentes à soumettre des propositions de communication sur le sujet du cinéma au Maghreb.
Sujets possibles:
L’histoire et le développement du cinéma maghrébin; La religion au cinéma;
Sexualité et genre au cinéma; Questions sociales et politiques au cinéma;
Courants esthétiques, thematiques, narratifs dans le cinéma nord-africain;

Believe it or not, my work on this conference is really a hobby and going to it will be my vacation. It didn’t start out this way, but increasingly this is less and less part of my work. That’s why its here, in a non-work profile. That’s okay, though. I find the time and I really do enjoy it.
]]>The Return of Fake News
The Writers Guild of America remains on strike, but it has been announced that The Daily Show and Colbert Report will return to the air on January 7. This is great news. I’m not sure they should have been allowed to strike to begin with. I support the writers strike in general, don’t get me wrong. But firefighters, police, ambulance drivers and, in some places, teachers, garbage collectors and other essential public servantsare not allowed to strike. That is what the writers of the Daily Show and Colbert Report are, essential public servants. No one else challenges the pomposity and hypocrisy of our public officials and media in quite the same manner.
It is cheap viagra price FDA approved treatment for men who were living in sexless life. This petite little berry is viagra mastercard proving to be one of the healthiest diets as it is rich in omega Fatty Acids- These foods are important for two basic reasons. I had forgotten that it was mostly a newsy letter to his friend that told about his journey; leaving his hometown, arriving in Paris, then to Cherbourg wholesale cialis price where he boarded the ship to cross the Atlantic. However, almost all cases of ED can be handled and handled http://robertrobb.com/2015/05/ cialis 5 mg with the exception of a few remarkable ones. Or at least no one else has the platform to do so in such a visible and direct way. Under the guise of humor, Stewart and Colbert are able to get away with the most pointed and direct criticism. They make viewers think about the news in a critical matter and that is an essential public service.
Seriously though, it will be interesting to see how the two shows handle things when they are back on the air. Stewart and Colbert will both want to respect the strike, themselves being members of the union. So as the article suggests, the shows might be very different for a while. But I am damn glad they will be back soon. ]]>

Free Market in Brain Power
Fortune Magazine has written an interesting piece on the competition for “human capital” in the global marketplace of the 21st century. Colvin begins by examining the efforts of Saudi Arabia, the European Union and India to attract and keep top notch intellectual talent pointing out, for example, that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has endowed that country’s new graduate research university with more money than MIT built up for its endowment over the course of 142 years. Colvin’s point is that the United States is bowing to a dangerous “Info Age protectionism,” with immigration rules that favor family connections over skills and a miserly distribution of skills-based visas. He also argues that the United States is losing its advantage in the educational sector.
Stephen Roach, former chief economist of Morgan Stanley and now head of the firm’s Asian operations, says, “In the U.S. we’ve squandered our advantage by not investing in educational reform.”Colvin’s conclusion is that the international competition for talent will only get get worse, ultimately leading to a “free market in brain power…that may not come to pass- but wise nations will prepare for it.”
He then prescribes and if suggests for viagra on line, it will be reached at your door step in no time.
