Voces del Egipto postrevolucionario
Virginia Pisano, investigadora especialista en movimientos culturales contemporáneos en el mundo árabe, y la periodista egipcia Lina Attalah participaron el 13 de noviembre de 2017 en esta mesa redonda, celebrada en la sede de Casa Árabe en Madrid. Moderó el acto Leila Nachawati, profesora de Comunicación en la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. La brecha generacional en los países árabes se hizo patente durante los levantamientos de 2011. Las expresiones culturales de los jóvenes en las calles, de Túnez a Sanaa pasando por Manama, hicieron de la creatividad una virtud política para avanzar en la libertad de expresión y otras libertades individuales. Los grafitis, el teatro callejero, los eslóganes y las nuevas composiciones de trovadores urbanos demostraban en 2011 un dinamismo que sorprendió no solo a sus padres, sino a ellos mismos. A seis años de la eclosión en la plaza Tahrir, conviene hacer un repaso y una reflexión sobre el legado, la innovación y la representación las de las culturas árabes. Virginia Pisano (Milán, 1983) es titulada en Historia por la Sorbona (París) y en estudios de Oriente Medio de la School of Oriental and African Studies de Londres (SOAS). Ha trabajado para varias organizaciones culturales como coordinadora de proyectos artísticos centrados en el mundo árabe y el espacio mediterráneo, tales como la red Medinea del Festival d'Aix, el proyecto AlefBa de la Fondation Royaumont y en el proyecto de traducción cultural Transeuropéennes. Junto con sus actividades de investigación y gestión cultural, Virginia Pisano está explorando actualmente el camino de la producción documental de radio y está especializada en músicas actuales de Egipto. Lina Attalah es periodista y una figura reconocida de los medios de comunicación egipcios. Editora de la página web Mada Masr, lo fue anteriormente también del Egypt Independent.

Voices from Post-Revolutionary Egypt (ENG)
2017.13.11. Virginia Pisano, a researcher who specializes in contemporary cultural movements in the Arab world and Egyptian journalist Lina Attalah took part in this round table discussion. The event was moderated by Leila Nachawati, a professor of Communication at the Universidad Carlos III in Madrid. The generation gap in Arab countries became apparent during the uprisings of 2011. The cultural expressions by youths in the streets, from Tunis to Sanaa and Manama, made creativity a political virtue for moving forward in terms of freedom of expression and other individual liberties. Graffiti, street theater, slogans and new compositions by urban troubadours demonstrated a dynamic power in 2011 that surprised not only their parents, but also youths themselves. Six years after the uprising in Tahrir Square, now is a good time to perform a review of the legacy, innovation and portrayal of Arab cultures and reflect upon these events. Virginia Pisano (Milan, 1983) has a degree in History from the Sorbonne (Paris) and in Middle East Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London.

Women and political resistance in Yemen (ENG)
06-13-2017. Casa Árabe invited the journalist and blogger Afrah Nasser to analyze the ties linking gender, culture, Islam, power and social change in Yemen. Taking part in the conference are Afrah Nasser, a Yemeni journalist and blogger, and Leyla Hamad, a researcher for the Political and Electoral Observatory of the Arab and Muslim World (OPEMAM). The high rate of gender inequality in Yemen means that women have very few rights in terms of education, marriage and medical care, as well as other basic human rights. Moreover, the combination of statutory law, Sharia, traditional tribal practices and customary law leave women vulnerable to violence and discrimination. The current war in Yemen has sharpened these deep inequalities, all of which is made even worse by the humanitarian crisis. Nevertheless, since the popular uprising in 2011, a political culture of feminist resistance has been forming, which must be analyzed and highlighted, with the example of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to activist Tawakkol Karman. Afrah Nasser is an independent writer and award-winning blogger whose work focuses on human rights violations, women’s rights and the politics of Yemen. She has worked as a reporter for the newspaper Yemen Observer and began her blog on the uprisings in Yemen (http://afrahnasser.blogspot.com.es) in 2011. That same year, hers was selected by CNN.com as one of the “must-read” blogs on the Middle East, and she was highlighted among the 100 most influential Arabs by the magazine Business Arabian. In 2011, she became a political refugee in Sweden, the country where she completed her graduate studies in Communication at the University of Göteborg, where she is one of the co-founders of the NGO The Yemeni Salon.
