"Terapia del parlato" fu una delle prime definizioni del concetto di psicoanalisi. Nel fumetto di questa settimana l'artista esplora il ruolo del dialogo, dell'espressione, nel processo di cura e di preparazione nella vita delle moderne "rondini".

Una sorellanza che tiene vicini gli spiriti quando i corpi sono lontani, un ricongiungersi per ripartire. Trovarsi per lasciarsi.

🌙 Books for Arab American Heritage Month 🌙

🌙 Good morning, bookish bats, and Eid Mubarak to those who are celebrating. Eid al-Fitr ("the feast of breaking the fast") marks the end of Ramadan, an Islamic holy month of fasting and sacrifice. April is also Arab American Heritage month, which celebrates the 3.7 million Arab Americans across the country. This is an opportunity to combat Anti-Arab bigotry by challenging stereotypes and prejudices.

✨ One of the best ways to do so is to read books ABOUT Arab Americans. To help, here are a few books for Arab American Heritage Month you can read, discuss, or add to your ever-growing TBR!

✨ Growing up, I didn't have books that represented my experiences as an Arab or Muslim American. My friends didn't have stories to read that could help them understand my perspective.

Happy to be part of the "Onomatopée" exhibition at the Huberty-Breyne gallery in Brussels, from Nov. 25, 2022 to Jan. 7, 2023 / 33 Place du Châtelain, 1050 Brussels. - My drawing is titled "A Continent of Sleep". An island, created by a sleeper. In this dreamland populated by strange creatures, shapes, sounds and onomatopoeia are twisted and distorted until they become bizarre, almost unrecognizable. A new alphabet appears and mixes with the known letters. The world speaks by automatic writing. The sign replaces the letter, the gesture becomes sound. The aim of the exhibition is to re-examine the notion of onomatopoeia from a variety of fascinating angles. Is there an original language upon which all others are founded, and how would such a language be interpreted in art? Can all aspects of reality be converted into onomatopoeic words? Which best express the age in which we live? How do we represent a sound or make an image "speak" in sound? Is an image worth a thousand words?

Curated by Cécile Angelini the exhibition brings together more than 50 artists from across the globe : Zeina Abirached, Dave McKean, Winshluss, Marc-Antoine Mathieu,...

French Literature List, but make it from outside of France

Here’s a list of texts I read for school that are written by people from Francophone nations in the Middle East and Africa. There’s a huge gap for the entire Caribbean, Pacific, and Asian regions, so please feel free to add on any other works.

Books

Meursault, contre-enquête by Kamel Daoud

If you’ve read Camus’ L’étranger, then you know the setting. This book is narrated by the brother of the Camus’ character ‘l’Arabe’. It’s a look at the family’s experiences and a commentary on the impact of French colonialism in Algeria.

Le Rocher de Tanios by Amin Maalouf

Set in Lebanon, this book follows the life of Tanios who has reached legendary status for a certain reason. And while it’s technically about Tanios, it also follows very closely the life and struggles of his mother, Lamia.

Les Croisades vues par les Arabes by Amin Maalouf

Nonfiction. It describes the Crusades from the point of view of those in the Middle East looking towards the Western invaders, using lots of primary sources from the region.

Mes Contes de Perrault by Tahar Ben Jelloun

Tahar Ben Jelloun rewrites Perrault’s famous fairy tales (Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood, etc), placing them into an Arabic and Muslim cultural setting. He doesn’t use Perrault’s morals at the end, but the characters in the rewritten stories face issues influenced by their new settings, making it a commentary on colorism, racism, sexism, and more.

Syngué sabour. Pierre de patience by Atiq Rahimi

In a war-stricken country that is at least inspired by Afghanistan, a woman takes care of her husband, who has been shot and is in a coma, kept alive by her care and and a drip. She makes him her syngué sabour, which is a stone that a person confesses all their thoughts to until it explodes - she tells him her life story, including discussing his abuse.

Le Coiffeur de Kouta by Massa Makan Diabaté

This is actually the second book in a series by Diabaté - the first being Le Lieutenant de Kouta. Coiffeur continues the story told in Lieutenant, telling the story of the town of Kouta (based on Kita, Mali) just after Mali gained independence from the French. It focuses on the barber in town, Kompé, tracking his adventures and misadventures, as well as his friends, enemies, and joking cousins.

Bande Dessiné (graphic novels/comic books)

Je me souviens : Beyrouth by Zeina Abirached

The title is a call back to Perec’s Je me souviens. Abirached’s work tracks her childhood during the Lebanese Civil War. The war is ever present in the narrative, and the effects of it seep into the child narrator’s life on a regular basis. However, she also focuses greatly on her family life and the ways in which they are able to forget the war for a moment and how they still have some semblance of a daily routine.

l’Arabe du futur by Riad Sattouf

This work follows Sattouf’s childhood in Libya and Syria, with an eventual move to France. He discusses his daily life in school, at home, as well as his reactions to various family traditions.

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

This is likely a work you have heard of before, but it was originally written in French, so it makes it on the list. It follows Marjane as she grows up in Iran, starting just before the Iranian Revolution and continuing through her adolescence, her time spent in Europe, and her brief return to Iran.

Passeport a l’iranienne by Nahal Tajadod

Based on the author’s real experiences, this work follows an attempt to renew her Iranian passport. This effort involves considerable community effort and offers a humorous and interesting insight into Iranian life and ordinary culture, as well as the author’s own relationship with the country.

Bach to black by Nawel Louerrad (her website)

I’m going to level with you that this book is difficult to find, but I have met her personally, as she was invited to my school to talk. Bach to black has a very strange narrative style, but explores feelings of fear, solitude, and the absurdity of life and death. It’s a fairly personal recit, using many of her favorite figures to draw, such as cacti and turtles.

Plays

Incendies - Wajdi Mouawad

This play contains a lot of triggers - every warning I put here is real and serious and you should not read this play if you think you would have difficulty with any of them. It is graphic and disturbing and many of the things I am warning about are large parts of the plot. tw: incest, graphic depictions of violence, rape, abuse.

Jeanne and Simon are twins facing the death of their mother, who has also stopped speaking to them. Their mother’s lawyer tells them that there’s a mystery concerning who their father is, as well as the potential existence of a brother of theirs in the country that their mother has left behind. The twins decide to investigate, as the action jumps back and forward between their quest and scenes in the not too distant past.

Entre Bâmyân et Berlin, hier et aujourd’hui, l’amour comme la plus belle des aventures.1939, Afghanistan.

2016, Berlin. Karsten, jeune Allemand qui se passionne pour l’Orient rencontre Nayla, une réfugiée syrienne, dont il s’éprend, malgré leurs différences. A travers ces deux récits entremêlés, deux histoires d’amour atypiques, comme un écho à deux époques complexes, se tissent au fil des pages. Alliant les contraires, rapprochant des êtres qui n’auraient jamais dû se croiser, l’album propose une réflexion sur la difficulté d’aimer aujourd’hui comme hier.
