The creator of “The Morisco Footprint” requires making an investment in Andalusia in a long run imaginative and prescient

A unique imaginative and prescient of “Andalusia” in relation to historical past, civilization and idea, introduced via Ahmed Al-Kamoun, all through the presentation of his new guide “The Morisco Footprint… Landmarks of the Andalusian Affect on Tradition and Society in Morocco”, issued via the publications of the Middle for Human and Social Research and Analysis in Oujda.

The assembly performed via Fouad Bouali, head of the Moroccan Coalition for the Arabic Language, at the remaining days of the World Publishing and Guide Honest in Rabat, wherein the researcher Al-Kamoun defended that Andalusia will have to be a “long run imaginative and prescient,” as “the problem of Andalusia issues all people,” and it’s an technology of And “there may be excellent and evil in each and every tragedy,” and it will have to be checked out in its comprehensiveness, extrapolated, and thought to be what we’ve got realized from it.

He added, “Andalusia isn’t just a civilization that prevailed and disappeared. Quite, it’s as flourishing because the phoenix, all the time renewed and resurrected, and destroyed and renewed. They have been on this phenomenon, however they handled it as a lifeless frame and have been serious about learning different historic, literary, jurisprudential, and to some degree social and concrete facets, with out receiving a complete find out about that reached the specificity of the plain previous phenomenon.”

The researcher criticized two visions of Andalusia, the primary of which is the “refractive imaginative and prescient,” the place “respected researchers of Andalusia” make it a “pressure that all the time pushes our reminiscences backward, and does no longer push us ahead.” “As though the time of Andalusia had handed and ended and it was once unimaginable to recuperate it as a human revel in to get pleasure from within the provide, so it became An elegy and a wailing wall to which we go back every time we endure a setback or frustration, corresponding to Bosnia and the Iraq Battle (…) And Andalusia is related to this tragic reminiscence, despite the fact that this can be a vibrant push against the long run.”
He persevered, pronouncing: “The Andalusians themselves contributed to making the refractory imaginative and prescient once they have been positive in their lack of ability to repel the Christian advance and their depression of serving to their Muslim brothers. Their letters have been like messages of farewell from which there can be no go back,” and their literature as neatly, corresponding to Ibn al-Khatib’s “Jadak al-Ghaith” and “Nuniya Abu al-Baqa al-Randi.” As this imaginative and prescient persevered, “Andalusia became nostalgia that pulled us again.”

The second one imaginative and prescient criticized within the assembly is “the impartial imaginative and prescient, which is an method that seeks to triumph over this tragic nostalgia, to not fall into its temptation, and to research, however its flaw, in our opinion, is that as a substitute of taking a look on the Andalusian phenomenon in its comprehensiveness and dynamism, it seems at its disintegration below the pretext of objectivity, thus turning it into museum artifacts.” “; Listed here are the musical maqams, or probably the most chapters, and there are, via analysis, examples of meals, clothes, customs, and highbrow and jurisprudential inventions, “sufficient”; This is, the quest stops right here.

Whilst what is needed, in step with the interventionist, is “an try to repair what was once disassembled right into a coherent unit that provides a complete view of the Andalusian phenomenon in order that it turns into a subject matter of idea from which we will be able to draw courses and courses, in order that it turns into a previous that questions the prevailing for the sake of a higher long run.”

The researcher defended the “long run imaginative and prescient to discover the shortcomings” with a “human cultural message that transcends area and time.” On this context, he mentioned that “there are Arabs who felt that Andalusia supplies fashions for reforming the prevailing and jumping towards the long run,” together with the Syrian poet and critic Adonis, who wrote that Andalusia “isn’t an entire previous,” and defended its being “a presence that radiates as though it have been the long run.”

The researcher cited the Moroccan anthropologist Abdelkebir Al-Khatibi, who noticed the glance of “deep unhappiness” in Andalusia, and referred to as for “shifting past it” to “a glance to go into into a brand new courting with Spain, our spouse within the Andalusian heritage, and attempt against a greater long run.” He referred to as for no longer returning to it “as a local.” Useless” with “an unique, Western view,” however moderately excited about “Spain as a query for idea,” and “a chance for a brand new and other come across,” calls for using the thoughts politically, culturally, and economically.

The researcher went on to invite: What’s the want of the opposite aspect? Do you practice the similar imaginative and prescient? Do you want this?

Some of the issues that stopped on the latency of the “Moroccan novel” and the presence of Andalusia in it, since Abdelhadi Boutaleb’s novel “The Minister of Granada,” “in spite of its romanticism and the dominance of historic occasions over it,” there stays a “new studying” in an method “led via a bunch of historians and thinkers who present in The Andalusian style brings forth a wealthy box for dissection and revealing spaces of weak point with a view to conquer them (…) via studying and criticizing oneself with a view to extricate it from the weak point and frustration that bothered it.” Amongst them are Bensalem Himmich, Abdel-Ilah Ben Arafa, and Hassan Aourid, “every in step with his manner, the perspective of his view of items, and the inventive imaginative and prescient that “He embraces it.”

However what are we able to get pleasure from Andalusia within the twenty first century?

The researcher solutions, pronouncing: “It’s provide at a time of racism, the extraordinary proper, and slim identities. The jurist Ibn Hazm and his guide “The Dove’s Tawq” on platonic love and fervour, and within the bankruptcy on realizing the sweetheart thru physiognomy, discussed how he used to take a seat in his store with a Jewish good friend to speak about issues of faith, and this is a sign of the coexistence that Andalusia gives us,” as may also be realized from it, as an example. “Managing water shortage and holding the surroundings, which might be a few of the rapid problems dealing with the arena as of late.”

He went on to mention: “Andalusia is the water civilization par excellence, with ways it advanced and tailored to its setting with a rational, non secular, and aesthetic sense. It established the Water Courtroom in Valencia, which is the primary civilization to determine a court docket to control the distribution of water to make a decision disputes as a result of watering and irrigation, and to democratize the control of water, every in step with his wishes.” Subsequently, Andalusia can’t be decreased to “the previous and the misplaced paradise,” however moderately it’s “a continual query to learn the prevailing with a view to go thru it to a greater long run,” as a result of “historical past isn’t just a report of previous reminiscences, however moderately a guide of courses, as Ibn Khaldun says.”

Researcher Ahmed Al-Kamoun concluded his creation of his new guide via pronouncing: “What number of precious courses in regards to the Andalusian phenomenon that we have got no longer but comprehended as a result of we’ve got no longer but deserted the affect of concern, grief, and utopia.” On the other hand, what is going on as of late is the popularity of the Andalusian element as a residing a part of Moroccan identification, and the established order of a unique chair for it within the Academy of the Kingdom. Moroccanism, passion in Islamic structure within the academy, and lengthening narrative inventive openness to the Andalusian phenomenon… “would assist us higher perceive this phenomenon, and decipher its codes that open long run horizons for us.”
