Le Hirak est un concept sociologique qui marque le « ras-le-bol » social, politique et économique. Le mot Hirak prend ici la dimension d’un mouvement qui cible à faire bouger les lignes politiques. Il signifie également une manifestation active contre le sommeil et l’immobilisme politique et économique. L’importance de ce terme se constate à travers sa reprise par d’autres mouvements en Algérie et en Tunisie, il est devenu le symbole d’une expression politique de la marge.

The land issue, in connection with the territory, is posed with acuteness in the territories of cannabis production, whether in Tlata de Ketama or in the commune of Raya Suahal. Thus, activists blocked the departure of a military helicopter in 2017 as a sign of protest against the annexation of agricultural lands used by cultivators of cannabis. With the legalization of cannabis, the land issue arises as a condition for legal production of therapeutic and industrial cannabis. This paper seeks to explore the triangular relationship between cannabis, territory and land in the central Rif: it analyzes the aspects of this triangulation which engage the success of the legalization of cannabis for both therapeutic and industrial purposes.

In certain regions such as the north of the country and the Sous, this teaching appears much more rooted than in other regions. Thus, among the Jbala of the Western Rif, the fuqhā occupy a symbolic place and the memorization of the Koran is part of a local identity and socio-cultural framework. Based on ethnographic work, this article describes the processes of Koran memorization among the Jbala and shows how the Jbala are convinced that they are heirs to a tradition of memorization of the Koran. Beyond a socio-cultural dimension, the ta’līm al ‘atîq (traditional teaching) offers balance to a society that has devoted itself to the accumulation of wealth from the cannabis economy.

This has come about through the introduction of new drugs and new modes of consumption. Morocco's geographical position has actively contributed to facilitating the transit of cocaine from the Sahel; heroin arriving through the two enclaves of Sebta and Melilla; and psychotropic drugs from Europe or those transiting through Algeria. The 2000s were marked by the "democratization" of certain drugs with the massive arrival in Morocco of cocaine and heroin, which had until then been reserved for a wealthy clientele. Thus "kahla/heroin", introduced in the north at a price of around 20 dirhams (2 Euros) per gram, generated a considerable number of injecting drug users, with all the attendant public health problems (HIV). Using the city of Tangier as a working space, this article attempts to understand the process of heroin addiction, and tries to answer the following questions: how do people become junkies? How it feels to break the social link ?How do they experience the user-sick position?

Civil society has recently become very active in Moroccan society, operating in all sectors and starting from the paradigm of human rights. However, this civil society faces two major difficulties. The first is intrinsic to its existence, because it lacks resources and professionalism; whereas the second difficulty lies in the nature of power and its centralization, as central power is obsessed by co-optation of political actors and actors from civil society. Thus political actors and social activists must start from consensus as a prerequisite and avoid anything that could challenge the political system. This leaves little room for a genuine democratic process and is the context that the EU enters as an external player. Its presence is perceived as ambivalent, even neocolonial; its practices are not seen as supportive of the local fight for democracy, but as a source to use by emerging players, which is evidence of the competition for resources among the different actors in Morocco’s political system.

Morocco has become a country of origin, transit but also destination. In this context, migration-related issues are mostly associated with the presence of immigrants, whereby migration is framed through a securitizing approach. In the framework of this securitizing representation of migration, this paper aims to present and analyse the perspectives of stakeholders operating in the field of migration in Morocco, by intersecting the viewpoints of governmental and para-governmental stakeholders, CSOs and migrants. The analysis of these diverse perspectives allows us to better understand the place of migration in North-South (EU-Morocco) relations.

Elles ont des effets réels sur les politiques et les pratiques. Elles soulignent par ailleurs la précarité que certain(e)s migrant(e)s et réfugié(e)s vivent au Maroc, surtout dans les domaines de l'éducation, de l'intégration économique et de l'accès au logement. Les trois chapitres observent de près la vie des migrant(e)s au Maroc, avec un oeil sur des détails et des études qualitatives et quantitatives sur les migrant(e)s. Ils montrent également la complexité de l'intégration par la société marocaine et l'accès aux droits humains les plus basiques.

As the culture of kif and its derivatives has emerged and developed, the socio-economic connections have been deeply changed. So have the values of honour and baraka, which were traditionally the foundation of power, symbolically built on lands and women, forbidden domains. What are the social consequences of this internationalisation of the kif economy ? How is the new power in the actual Rif ? This is what this article deals with, by analysing the new social hierarchy in general and the baznass group in particular, a new social class trying to rule a society where the symbolic basis has been chased by the material one.

Aïcha représente deux exceptions dans le contexte maghrébin : femme et noire, elle incarne une double figure de la marginalité, l’une sexuelle et l’autre de couleur. Elle constitue une figure mouvante, rendant fragiles les frontières qui séparent la norme de la déviance. Aïcha génère de multiples processus d’inversion, qui remettent en cause la généalogie du pouvoir des hommes saints, tout en introduisant de nouvelles variantes plus concrètes des mythes et des rites, plus efficaces aussi et plus dynamiques, qui donnent aux femmes et aux efféminés le pouvoir thérapeutique.
Cette ethnographie cherche à explorer la question de l’altérité et de la place des rituels d’inversion dans la dynamique de changement et de résistance des rôles sociaux. Il s’agit de questionner les dichotomies épistémologiques dominées par le déterminisme et le symbolisme qui structurent encore l’anthropologie maghrébine. Le culte de la marge lié à Aicha se révèle en tant qu’espace alternatif de résistance aux normes politiques, religieuses et sociales dominantes. Par leurs pratiques, les acteurs de la marge rendent vulnérable l’ordre dominant et en construisent les lignes de fuite.

Amid the so-called «Europe’s refugee and migrant crisis» protection seekers’ quest to legal protection has been activated under an increasing enactment of bor-der regimes (Artero and Fontnari, 2019), migration-control-policies (Hess and Kasparek, 2017) and immigration law enforcement (Hess and Petrogiannis, 2020). Hindrances of border control, push backs and the tightening of asylum procedures have become the norm of EU’s approach «against the abuse of its asylum system» (Agenda on Migration 2015). Today, with the ongoing implementation of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum, asylum determination is increasingly problematic; it calls into question tensions between the governance of migration and practices of protection seekers.

Je suis artiste": Trajectoires des migrations subsahariennes à Tanger, in Expression Maghrébine, vol. 23/2, 2024. With Victoire Jaquet

Elle propose une perspective singulière sur le devenir migrant. Face à la prescription d'un statut, ces individus renouvellent leurs identités avec créativité. Ainsi, devenir artiste est perçu comme un accomplissement. Ces parcours témoignent du rôle et du pouvoir de l'art à re-symboliser le réel, ici, à travers la danse et le son. Ces réalités nous incitent à formuler l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'art, en tant que processus liminal, constituerait une pratique, un moment de transition, de flottement et d'inversion. Ainsi, la régularisation de leurs situations comme artistes constituants, pour des migrants aux statuts juridiques singuliers, une occasion de renversement d'une situation qui révèle le caractère construit et relatif des hiérarchies sociales.

Ces études postcoloniales tendent à déconstruire les eurocentrismes épistémologiques, éthiques ou encore politiques mais persistent à penser en termes binaires. Par exemple, lorsque Rabinow (1975) étudie le changement symbolique dans le village de Sidi Lahcen Lyussi au Moyen-Atlas. Il s’attaque à l’attachement des wlad siyyed (les descendants du saint) aux formes symboliques de la sainteté qui figent le changement historique de la population, et la conduise à une forme d’aliénation. Au lieu de rentrer dans un jeu binaire de contrastes, Rabinow conceptualise les deux figures de Lyussi, mais oppose le personnage religieux et le personnage politique et leurs usages rituels lors de mussem. Eickelman (1953) pour sa part, étudie le maraboutisme en tant que phénomène qui caractérise l’islam local au Maroc. Il oppose ces pratiques relevant dudit « islam populaire », à l’islam de la « haute culture ». Son argumentation repose également sur d’autres oppositions qui apparaissent comme celles entre la tribu et la ville, le passé et le présent. Cette binarité entre islam de haute culture et islam maraboutique repose sur une construction théorique pour l’auteur, or islam de haute culture et islam maraboutique se croisent et se nourrissent l’un de l’autre (Mouna, 2022).

This memory does not present a logical sequence of events, but rather operates as a rhetorical approach to the past where the real and the imaginary move as elements that constantly shapes the "market of memory". As such, this paper seeks to capture the movements of inversion from a heroic Rif to a victimized Rif, and vice versa. We will show how the Hirak serves to renew memory, and how actors renew their action by making memory dynamic.

Starting from the practices and discourses of the actors, we seek to understand how individuals think about their addiction, and the place of their local culture in their self-definitions. The term “junkie” is used by the users to qualify their practice and social conditions, as a kind of auto-stigma. We also explore how heroin users pragmatically adhere to the medical approach to re-establish their link to society, defining themselves as sick, and then as a patient. “Becoming” is a vanishing line in the sense of Deleuze and Guattari, a dynamic of social exclusion that offers possibilities of resistance. This work shows the ability of this population to bend the rules, but also to reinvest the codes of society to recreate a new “becoming” [Morocco, addicti...

It is from changing body conditions that Lalla Aicha's ritual finds its meaning. Contrary to the analysis of Bourdieu who perceives the rite of legitimation or consecration as a kind of demarcation line and social oppositions, such as masculine / feminine as being the symbols of the sun and the moon, Lalla Aïcha and rituals that accompany it function as the vectors of a fusion but also an ambivalence. The knowledge of the body passes through the myth and rite that are granted to Lalla Aicha that allows to attribute an identity to a body socially and religiously suspicious. The myths around Aicha play a dynamic and liberating role of the body. The strength of myths lies in the ability to be incorporated into the creation of a collective memory that reflects a group's point of view about itself, but also the way this group perceives the outside world. This contribution aims to analyze the course of suspicious bodies, bodies in search of sexual identity; it is based on an approach that focuses more on the experience and experience of actors in relation to the visible world and the invisible world.

The land issue, in connection with the territory, is posed with acuteness in the territories of cannabis production, whether in Tlata de Ketama or in the commune of Raya Suahal. Thus, activists blocked the departure of a military helicopter in 2017 as a sign of protest against the annexation of agricultural lands used by cultivators of cannabis. With the legalization of cannabis, the land issue arises as a condition for legal production of therapeutic and industrial cannabis. This paper seeks to explore the triangular relationship between cannabis, territory and land in the central Rif: it analyzes the aspects of this triangulation which engage the success of the legalization of cannabis for both therapeutic and industrial purposes.

This paper will show how they have been divided into several groups since the late 1990s, each group defined by its interests and degrees. Beyond these specificities, all these groups share the same aim: they want access to employment, more specifically to civil service positions. This article analyzes these two aspects through the use of public space during protest movements by unemployed graduates.

Motivée par la diversité objective du pays, cette faveur n’en demeure pas moins ambiguë, en ce qu’elle a contribué à consacrer l’antinomie tradition/modernité. À rebours de ce cliché, Le Maroc au présent expose plusieurs facettes des tensions qui traversent la société marocaine et montre qu’elles ne sont ni figées ni subies par les gens. En multipliant les approches en sciences humaines et sociales, cet ouvrage examine, notamment à partir d’observations de terrain, les transformations qui se sont produites ce dernier quart de siècle, à tous les niveaux. Pour donner à connaître, du plus près possible, le Maroc d’aujourd’hui, l’ouvrage propose une variété de regards croisés, souvent personnalisés, sur les processus sociaux, dans leurs expressions les plus variées. En cela, Le Maroc au présent se veut beaucoup plus un ouvrage d’exploration qu’un simple livre de synthèse. De par la pluralité disciplinaire des contributeurs et la diversité des terrains explorés, il est un état de la recherche sur le Maroc contemporain, fait à partir du Maroc

Civil society has recently become very active in Moroccan society, operating in all sectors and starting from the paradigm of human rights. However, this civil society faces two major difficulties. The first is intrinsic to its existence, because it lacks resources and professionalism; whereas the second difficulty lies in the nature of power and its centralization, as central power is obsessed by co-optation of political actors and actors from civil society. Thus political actors and social activists must start from consensus as a prerequisite and avoid anything that could challenge the political system. This leaves little room for a genuine democratic process and is the context that the EU enters as an external player. Its presence is perceived as ambivalent, even neocolonial; its practices are not seen as supportive of the local fight for democracy, but as a source to use by emerging playe...

des pays d’Afrique du Nord, dans une situation historiquement inédite, demandant de nouvelles
politiques économiques et sociales, et avant cela, l’adoption de nouveaux outils de réflexion et
d’analyse. Les problématiques relatives à la migration internationale en général, et à celle des
compétences en particulier, n’échappent pas à cette règle. Il est donc plus que nécessaire de ne pas
passer sous silence cette réalité lorsqu’on aborde le paradigme des compétences et plus précisément
celui de la diaspora scientifique.
