Ce voyage au cœur des traditions de bien-être et de mise en beauté des femmes marocaines est conçu comme une initiation, une balade intime dans un univers protégé où les femmes prennent soin les unes des autres, où l'apprentissage de la séduction se fait en famille dès le plus jeune âge, de génération en génération, où le rapport au corps est très sensuel. L'auteur insiste sur l'importance accordée au bien-être et à la relaxation, évoquant le hammam - passage incontournable - et le plaisir de s'occuper de soi pour soi.

In Through a Local Prism, Loubna H. Skalli explores the forces of global cosmopolitanism, European and American, as they collide with local definitions of self, gender, and community in the Arab and Muslim culture. Since the late 1980s, Morocco, a postcolonial Muslim country, has faced dramatic political, economic, and socio-cultural changes. Utilizing Moroccan women's magazines, Skalli explores the tensions and intersections between global forces and local traditions with close attention to their impact on gender definitions among Arab Muslims. Drawing on communication, media, and cultural theories, Skalli's research redefines culture, gender, and national identity in the context of the globalized world. The focus on the Middle East makes this book of great interest to scholars and students of cultural studies, communications, and women's studies. Book jacket.
Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
The Thousand and One Nightsdoes not fall into a scholarly canon or into the category of popular literature. It takes its place within a middle literature that circulated widely in medieval times. The Nightsgradually entered world literature through the great novels of the day and through music, cinema and other art forms. Material inspired by the Nightshas continued to emerge from many different countries, periods, disciplines and languages, and the scope of the Nightshas continued to widen, making the collection a universal work from every point of view. The essays in this volume scrutinize the expanse of sources for this monumental work of Arabic literature and follow the trajectory of the Nights' texts, the creative, scholarly commentaries, artistic encounters and relations to science.Contributors: Ibrahim Akel, Rasoul Aliakbari, Daniel Behar, Aboubakr Chraïbi, Anne E.
