Italian scholars on Ibadism - Francesca, Ersilia (Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere - Incontri di Studio, 2017)
Il contributo è incentrato sull’apporto che studiosi italiani del secolo scorso hanno dato ad una migliore comprensione dell’Ibadismo. Laura Veccia Vaglieri, Carlo Alfonso Nallino, Mario Martino Moreno, Roberto Rubinacci, insieme a Vanna Cremonesi e Generosa Crupi La Rosa sono stati tra i primi a sottolineare l’importante contributo degli Ibaditi al pensiero islamico e, più in generale, alla formazione della cultura islamica. I risultati da essi raggiunti - al di là delle conclusioni di ciascuno studioso – sono di fondamentale importanza poiché attraggono l’attenzione su questioni cruciali come il passaggio di idee e dottrine all’interno della comunità musulmana. Nonostante la sua antichità, l’Islam Ibadita continua ad essere poco conosciuto e mal compreso. Spesso si riducono le sue peculiarità ad alcune dottrine politiche e ad un certo “puritanesimo” religioso. Ma il quadro è molto più complesso. La scuola ibadita ebbe fin dalle origini uno sviluppo parallelo ma autonomo rispetto alle scuole sunnite, basato sull’apporto di proprie autorità e giuristi. Gli Ibaditi hanno un ricco patrimonio letterario che risale fino alle origini dell’Islam, il cui studio è di grande potenzialità per una migliore comprensione sia dell’Islam in generale sia dell’apporto Ibadita in particolare.

Oman and Ibadism from a Religious Regional Perspective - Salimi, Abdulrahman al- (Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere - Incontri di Studio, 2017)
Questo paper affronta il tema dell’identità Omanita e l’ideologico religioso Islamico Ibadita. Fra gli elementi principali che caratterizzano l’Oman, si possono considerare: 1. La sua particolare configurazione geografica. 2. La sua popolazione multi-culturale e multi-religiosa sin da epoche antichissime e precedent l’Islam stesso. 3. La dottrina Islamica Ibadita. Conseguentemente, in primo luogo l’Autore si sofferma sulle particolari connotazioni geografiche dell’Oman e suoi molteplici ‘paesaggi’, i quali hanno indubbiamnete avuto un profondo impatto sugli habitat umani e la loro organizzazione all’interno delle diverse nicchie ecologiche del Paese, risalendo a secoli se non a millenni or sono. Riguardo a quest’ultimo aspetto, una delle principali connotazioni è stata quella del tribalismo e le sue complementarietà all’interno di una cornice che, in Oman, è sempre stata caratterizzata da multi-culturalità e multi-religiosità. Quindi, con l’avvento dell’Islam, un nuovo fattore si è imposto sulla scena storica omanita: l’Ibadismo e le sue dinamiche. Dopo un breve schema storico e in ampia parte riferendosi al paper precedente, il discorso puntualizza i principî base dell’Ibadismo e della sua evoluzione nel tempo, il ruolo giocato in Oman nel corso dei secoli, il suo impatto sulla società locale e il modello politico-istituzionale che esso ha contribuito a forgiare e modellare. Si tratta di una eredità culturale tramandata nei secoli fino ad oggi. Infine, l’Autore dà un rapido ma chiaro affresco dell’Ibadismo e del suo ideologico religioso oggi, il rapporto fra questa ideologia religiosa e il concetto di Modernità tecnologica e sociale, Corano e principî guida religiosi di fronte alle diversità, la risposta Ibadita di fronte a un nuovo modello di società inter-religiosa e inter-etnica.

Mit der Waffe des Islams gegen Zionisten und Anthropomorphisten. Die politische Relevanz mittelalterlicher Theologie im ibāḍitischen Islam der Gegenwart - Berger, Lutz (Die Welt des Islams, 2008)
Starting from the polemics of the Ibāḍī mufti of Oman, Aḥmad al-Khalīlī, with Ibn Bāz and other Wahhābī 'ulamā' this paper addresses how representatives of contemporary Islam try to overcome sectarian differences and how they make sense of medieval theological precepts in a radically changed intellectual and political environment. The paper stresses the role of (invented traditions of) resistance against external and internal foes (imperialism and–to a lesser degree–Sufism) as ideological basis for modernist Islamic ecumenism. Remaining sectarian differences are explained by pretending that rival sects are in reality agents of external enemies of Islam. An example of this argumentation is Aḥmad al-Khalīlī's effort to remove the Wahhābīs from the fold of Islam by making Wahhābism a Jewish sect with Islamic trappings. For this purpose Aḥmad al-Khalīlī recycles premodern Ibāḍī polemic against the Sunnis at large. Medieval theologoumena are thereby given a present-day political meaning. Without openly attacking the Sultan, the mufti al-Khalīlī's arguments against the Wahhābīs can at the same time be read as a document of opposition against the Omani regime's policies, in a situation where the Sultanate is confronted by a resurgence of political Ibāḍism.

The Stone Age in Northwestern Libya: Observations Along a Pipeline - Parenti, Fabio; Mengoli, Davide; Natali, Luca (The African Archaeological Review, 2015)
More than 500 km, from the Mediterranean coast to the Hammada al-Hamra, were surveyed in 2002-'03 along the AGIP-Gas pipeline. Several morphological units were crossed: the Jefara, the Jebel Gharbi and the Hammada al-Hamra. This paper reports the location of more than 60 surface sites, with special attention to Lower and Middle Stone Age assemblages, by far the most represented periods. More than 6,500 lithic artifacts have been collected spanning from Mode 1 to the Late Stone Age. The survey was carried out on foot, along a narrow band of around 50 m width for 80 % of the pipeline, representing an extraordinary sample from the coast to the northern desert and, more extensively, in the Wafa area on the Hammada plateau, where stone quarries, fireplaces and important lithic scatters were documented. On the whole, the assemblages, compared with the main Stone Age sites of Northern Africa, seem older in the very southern sector, well into the Hammada, whereas sites on the Jebel cliff and immediately south are dominated by Middle and Late Stone Age cultural traits. The survey proved to be both a good tool for planning development projects and an important occasion for the study of a relevant region of Northern African prehistory. Plus de 500 km du gazoduc AGIP ont été prospectés en 2002-'03, de la côte méditerranéenne jusqu'à la Hammada al-Hamra, sur plusieurs unités morphologiques: Jefara, Jebel Gharbi, Hammada al-Hamra. Cette prospection a permis de décrire plus de 60 gisements de surface, la plupart attribués au Paléolithique inférieur et moyen (phases culturelles le plus fréquemment rencontrées). Plus de 6500 artefacts lithiques ont ainsi été récoltés, de l'Oldowayen au Late Stone Age. La prospection s'est faite à pied, le long d'une bande étroite de 50 m sur 4/5 du parcours, ce qui représente un échantillon extraordinaire, de la côte jusqu'au désert septentrional, et plus en détail dans la région de Wafa, sur le plateau de l'Hammada, où des ateliers de taille, foyers et autres sites de surface ont été trouvés. Les sites sembleraient plus anciens dans la partie méridionale du secteur, bien à l'intérieur de la Hammada. Sur les abords du Jebel, et immédiatement au Sud, les sites du Pleistocène supérieur dominent, Middle et Late Stone Age. Le potentiel archéologique de cette région est analysé dans le cadre de la préhistoire paléolithique nord-africaine.

Lithic Raw Materials of the Late Palaeolithic/Neolithic Industries in Jabal Nefusa, Tripolitania - Mrazek, Ivan; Svoboda, JIŘÍ (Anthropologie, 1986)
The mineralogic-petrographical character of the raw materials of the Late Palaeolithic/Neolithic stone industries, collected at several open air-sites in the area of Jabal Nefusa, have been studied and the origin of the raw materials have been recognized. Two types of Upper Cretaceous (Nalut Formation) cherts (the coloured and the striped ones), used for the manufacture of implements, have been distinguished. They may be considered either local or short-distance imported raw materials.

Muslim Poets under a Christian King: An Intertextual Reevaluation of Sicilian Arabic Literature under Roger II (1112–54) (Part I) - Miller, Nathaniel A. (Mediterranean Studies, 2019)
Throughout the twelfth century, a number of Arabic-speaking Muslims produced poetry in the court of the Normans of Sicily. This article examines literary figures active under Roger II in the context of their interlocutors, professional colleagues, and other contemporaries around the western Mediterranean and North Africa. It argues that, in this context, most of the Sicilian Arab literary figures were only secondarily poets, their primary role being within a chancery or other administrative milieu, and that they continued to assert an undiminished Islamic identity, although living under Christian rule. This identity is mirrored in the intertextual play on topoi (maʿānī) found in Sicilian Arabic poetry, which was heavily engaged with cultural activity around the Mediterranean.

Chinese porcelains and the decorations of Omani mihrabs - Goffriller, Martin S.; Hongjiao, Ma; Bandyopadhyay, Soumyen; Henderson, Julian (Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies, 2015)
This paper explores the history of the Chinese porcelain trade in Oman with the aim of gauging the impact of these wares on Oman's religious architecture. The large quantities of porcelain surface finds from the interior and the comparatively unusual reliance on them for the decoration of prayer niches, in the presence of equally valuable wares from Persia and elsewhere, suggest an elevated status for these objects, which is not necessarily a product of their immediate monetary value. Chemical and stylistic analyses were carried out to determine the dates and provenance of the ceramics studied, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of their introduction into the Omani market and their relation to religious design schemes.

Gasr el-Gezira, a Shrine in the Gebel Nefusa of Tripolitania - Brogan, Olwen; Oates, David (Papers of the British School at Rome, 1953)
Gasr el-Gezira stands on high ground about one kilometre south of the edge of the escarpment overlooking Wadi el-Matmùra where it debouches on to the Gefara, the coastal plain of Tripolitania, and about four kilometres due north of kilometre-stone 166 on the Jefren—Giado road. The escarpment in the neighbourhood is over 400 metres high, and the building stands at a height of 745 metres above sea-level, on the watershed between the wadis running down to the Gefara and those feeding the affluents of the Upper Sofeggin system to the south. The building is surrounded by scattered troglodyte dwellings and sparse olive groves, interspersed with fig gardens and more open land used for cereal cultivation. The remains of a Roman village lie some three hundred metres to the south-east, and the whole complex marks the north-eastern extremity of an area of Roman olive cultivation, roughly coinciding with the district known as ez-Zintan, and probably to be assigned to the period between the first and the fourth centuries a.d .

The radicalization of heritage in Tunisia - Rey, Virginie (International journal of Islamic architecture, 2018)
Since the so-called 'Jasmine Revolution' of 2009 in Tunisia, the idea of heritage has been destabilized following a series of attacks on religious and cultural sites across the country by militant Salafi groups. Thus far, sites of Jewish heritage have been the most affected. Cultural heritage from Tunisia's rich ancient history, redolent for certain Islamists with associations of Jahiliyya, has also been targeted. The well-publicized attack on the Bardo Museum in March 2015 was perhaps the most famous symbol of this trend. However, less publicized have been attempts to reclaim some sacred sites, resulting in the occupation of local mosques on the island of Djerba and in the town of Le Kef. In the wake of these events, some Djerbian civilians have stood up to defend what they consider as intrinsic parts of the patrimonial identity of their island. But as they have been defending these mosques against extremist groups, new considerations related to their preservation have surfaced, calling into question their very patrimonialization. In the context of this radical politicization of Tunisian heritage, this article explores the struggle over who defines the meanings and uses of heritage in Tunisia and the new challenges and opportunities that Salafi attacks have created for the heritage sector since the revolution.

Ibadism and law in historical contexts - Vikør, Knut S. (Oñati Socio-Legal Series, 2020)
Not Sunnis and not Shi’is, the Ibāḍī Muslims of Oman and some areas of North Africa form a “third branch” of Islam, with their own version of the Sharīʿa law. The development of this law displays many interconnections with the political history of the Ibāḍīs, which spanned from an independent sultanate in Oman, through minority status under Sunni rule in Tunisia and Libya, to isolated desert communities in Algerian Sahara. This article gives an overview over such interconnections between the political (state authority) and the legal, through history and in contemporary North Africa, with some examples of legal discussions from the “Ibāḍī renaissance” (nahḍa) in the twentieth-century Saharan oasis of Mzab.

The Transformation of Religious Learning in Oman: Tradition and Modernity - Salimi, Abdulrahman al- (Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 2011)
The last fifty years mark a period of great change in the role of religious leadership and education in the Sultanate of Oman. The country moved from bifurcated leadership between an Imam and a Sultan to a single political authority. These decades also witnessed the modernisation of the state. These factors combined to reshape the place of religion and religious education in society. Whereas previously religious leaders had relative autonomy and more direct political influence, now they were brought under the auspices of the government with their focus circumscribed to religious matters. The structures and foci of religious education were then reshaped so that tradition provided a platform for progress and the more zealous ideologies emerging in the region could be held at bay. This has permitted Oman to modernise and engage with a global society in an amicable, non-sectarian, manner.

Revolting Women? Early Kharijite Women in Islamic Sources - Baugh, Carolyn (Journal of Islamic and Muslim Studies, 2017)
The Kharijites were an early movement of anti-government activists, self-proclaimed pious rebels who began their protests in the seventh century of the common era. Their initial complaint was against ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān (d. 656 CE), the third Caliph, for what they perceived as abuses of power and improper execution of Divine Law. Throughout Islamic history, many groups have appeared to protest deeply corrupt systems and injustices. Many women participated vigorously in anti-government protests, many going so far as to take up arms. Even today, any group engaged in governmental protest or anti-government activities might easily be dubbed Kharijites and thus dismissed as “extremist.” This paper focuses on women in Kharijite movements of late antiquity. The sources for this inquiry are early writers including Jāḥiẓ (d. 869 CE), Mubarrad (d. 900 CE), and Ṭabarī (d. 923 CE), with reference to the modern-era biographical compendium of ʿUmar Riḍā al-Kaḥḥāla. The three women discussed span three generations of Kharijite activity. Each of the three has a story with the ruler of the time. For Qaṭām, it is a story of revenge against the Caliph ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (d. 660 CE). For Baljāʾ, it is one of political protest against the Caliph Muʿāwiya (d. 680 CE), directed against his governors Ziyād ibn Abīhi (d. 673 CE) and his son ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Ziyād (d. 686 CE). And for Ghazāla, it is a story of a year of battle and bloodshed during the rule of the Umayyad Caliph ʿAbd al-Mālik ibn Marwān's (d. 705 CE) tyrannical governor, al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf (d. 714 CE). The ways these deeply opinionated and activist women are depicted provide telling insight into how Muslim historiography has grappled with women revolutionaries.

African Identities, Afro-Omani Music, and the Official Constructions of a Musical Past - Harthy, Majid H. al- (The World of Music, 2012)
Based on dissertation research in the port city of Sur, historically significant both for trans-oceanic seafaring and trade, and more specifically for its connection to the east coast of Africa, this article analyzes the African-derived performance genres that dominate Sur's music scene within an ever-elusive concept of Africa. The sacred healing rituals zār, mikwarā, and ṭambūra; and the secular genres, mdema, and fann is-ṣawt have been renamed funūn taqlīdīya or traditional arts, national nomenclature that collects the myriad traditions of the country while marginalizing differential identities. Rhetorically, Suri musicians not only adopt, they also emphasize their national Omani identity, while expressing their African identity as of the "other." Musically, however, their approach to performance, including the use of Swahili texts, the predominance of body movement, and multi-layered musical textures produced by a variety of instruments from East Africa, reveals, I argue, the musicians' African identity as a "self." The seemingly binary "self" identities articulated by Suri musicians through two differing modes of expression (rhetoric and performance) illustrate not only the problematic nature of the concept of Africa in Oman, but also highlights how simplistically the African presence in Oman has been treated in the music scholarship of this country.

The Musical Design of National Space and Time in Oman - Rasmussen, Anne K. (The World of Music, 2012)
This article unpacks ethnographic research conducted in 2010–2011 and in 2012 among cultural activists and reformers who are using music as a generative force toward the development of collective identities in a geopolitical space. I analyze three domains of cultural production and consider how the Sultan's initiatives have resulted in the embodiment of artistic consumption and connoisseurship that are required for musical life in the public sphere: first are the Sultan's privately controlled military bands, Arab music ensembles, and symphony orchestra; second are public arts festivals that nurture and celebrate traditional music and dance; third is the domain of Omani popular music facilitated by Arab regional interculturalism and media flows that depend significantly on practitioners from Egypt, Iraq, and other Gulf states. I show how these domains of music and dance work to enable the imagination of a cultural space and time for Oman and its historical and contemporary relationships with the Arab world, Africa, Asia, and "the West." The ethnographic focus on the Salalah Festival in the Dhofar province, provides a close-up shot of the workings of the state at the local level in a context that is both far from the control of the capitol city, Muscat, but that also reproduces many of the relations of dominance and resistance that is an inevitable artifact of political power and cultural policy.

On the Decks of Dhows: Musical Traditions of Oman and the Indian Ocean World - Ulaby, Laith (The World of Music, 2012)
This article situates the musical traditions of Oman in the broader context of the Arabian Peninsula and Indian Ocean. Trade, slavery, and pilgrimage prompted the creation of networks that extended across the Indian Ocean for hundreds of years and facilitated deep and lasting cultural exchanges. Oman has played an important role in these networks and this is deeply reflected in many of the local musical traditions. Since about the middle of the 20th century, countries in the Arabian Gulf (sometimes referred to as the GCC, Gulf Cooperation Council, plus Yemen) have made strides toward establishing independent nationalism in the contemporary race for unique identities; however, their histories, peoples, and musical traditions, particularly those of nomadic Bedouins and coastal seafaring populations, have overlapped for many centuries. I attempt to sketch out some comparisons, particularly in terms of performance practice, between Oman and the rest of the Gulf States with a focus on maritime music, the music that occurred "on the decks of dhows," the traditional sailing vessel of the Arabian Gulf. My theoretical grounding for this article engages with frameworks for cultural transmission and explores their relevance to the Gulf. By looking at historical accounts and previous scholarship, alongside ethnographic research, I describe some of the conduits for sharing musical influence with the broader Indian Ocean cultural space. Lastly, I critically examine some of the historiographies that have been created around these exchanges and their valence to the political economy of cultural heritage in the region.

Efficacité comparée de trois méthodes de lutte contre la Cochenille blanche du Palmier-dattier dans la région de Ouargla (Sud-est algérien) (Hemiptera, Diaspididae) - Idder, Mohamed Azzedine; Bensaci, Mohamed; Oualan, Mohamed; Pintureau, Bernard (Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France, 2007)
Trois méthodes de lutte ont été appliquées contre la Cochenille blanche du Palmier-dattier Parlatorio blanchardi (Targioni-Tozzetti) en Algérie. La lutte physique à l'aide du flambage a conduit à un pourcentage de mortalité des cochenilles de 92,2 et semble être la plus efficace. La lutte chimique à l'aide d'un insecticide a eu un effet significatif puisqu'elle a provoqué des pourcentages de mortalité de 73,2 et 80,0 selon la parcelle. La lutte biologique à l'aide de Coccinelles a quant à elle conduit à des pourcentages de mortalité relativement faibles, de 18,1 et 19,7. Il faut toutefois aussi tenir compte de l'effet de la méthode de lutte sur les populations d'auxiliaires avant d'opter pour l'une d'entre elles. Or, nous avons constaté que les traitements physique et chimique ont provoqué une très forte mortalité des auxiliaires (78,8 à 89,4%). En revanche, la méthode biologique a préservé la faune utile et donc l'équilibre biologique dans le biotope. Cette dernière méthode semble ainsi mieux adaptée au milieu palmeraie, agro-système à la fois complexe et fragile où toute perturbation brutale peut être fatale et irréversible.

The Ibāḍī Approach to the Methodology of Qur'anic Exegesis - Albayrak, Ismail; Shueili, Sulaiman bin Ali bin Amir al- (The Muslim World, 2015)
In recent times, research on the Ibāḍī tradition by both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars has increased, but has not yet shed light on the wider significance of this tradition. While the primary focus of researchers has been on the Ibāḍī tradition as a school of thought, its important contribution to various Islamic disciplines is still neglected. For this reason, there is a serious need for a comprehensive study of the Ibāḍī works on Islam, especially as new manuscripts are continually being discovered. When we look at Ibāḍī Islamic literature in general and compare Ibāḍī jurisprudence and theology, we realise that the poorest and most unexplored field of study consists of the Ibāḍī works on exegesis (tafsīr). The once inaccessible and insufficient amount of Ibāḍī sources and materials may have accounted for this lack of interest; however, today, materials related to Ibāḍī exegesis and understanding are becoming available. In this article, we focus on the methodology of Qur'anic exegesis with reference to commentators from the Ibāḍī tradition. As far as we know, this paper is a first in this field of research, and will discuss the primary features of the Ibāḍī method, its similarities to and differences from other exegetical approaches, and its original contributions.

The Nafūsa Mountains, known as a stronghold of Berber Ibadism, have developed an extremely rich vernacular architecture. Little rural mosques abound in the jabal, which may occasionally go back to the eight or ninth centuries AD. Some mosques are associated with scholars or chiefs quoted in mediaeval Ibadi texts, or with the Christian past of the region. Many are semi-subterranean and present in the prayer hall noteworthy decorations carved out of the plastering. The three remaining communal fortified granaries also are of particular interest. All those Ibadi buildings will be studied in a forthcoming publication.

Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plant in Djerba island, Tunisia - Ben Salah, Myriam; Barhoumi, Tarek; Abderraba, Manef (Arabian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, 2019)
Objective :The aim of this study was to document the diversity and use of natural plants in the island of Djerba (Tunisia) in traditional pharmacopoeia and other uses in order to develop an ethnobotanical catalogue that could subsequently be the subject of scientific research.Materials and Methods: The technique of semi-structured interviews was used with people originating and residing or not in Djerba. Occasional conversations and direct observations were exploited for one year.Results: We have identified 86 plants out of 122 mentioned belonging to 80 genera and 43 families. Asteraceae were the most important family represented by 13 species followed by Lamiaceae and Poaceae (7 species each). The results showed that 45 species have medicinal uses (52.32%). Leaves were the most used parts (59% of species for medicinal use). Decoction was the most common method for preparing remedies.Conclusion: This study provides an important source of information for flora valorization in the studied region. The results could form a database for the search of new natural substances with added value.

Ibâḍî Reformism in Twentieth-Century Algeria : The Tafsîr of Shaykh Ibrâhîm Bayyûḍ - Hoffman, Valerie J.; Shueili, Sulaiman bin Ali bin Amir al- (Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, 2012)
Shaykh Ibrâhîm b. ‘Umar Bayyûḍ of Wâdî Mzâb (1899-1981), leader of Ibâḍî reformism in Algeria after the death of Muḥammad b. Yûsuf Aṭfiyyash (1820-1914), delivered a public commentary on the Qur’an from 1935-1980, which was recorded beginning with Sûra 17:70. Shaykh Bayyûḍ claimed to follow the goals and methodology of Muḥammad ‘Abduh and Rashîd Riḍâ’s Tafsîr al-Manâr. This article analyzes Shaykh Bayyûḍ’s commentary in comparison to, on the one hand, Aṭfiyyash’s two Qur’an commentaries (Hamayân al-zâd ilâ dâr al-ma‘âd and Taysîr al-tafsîr), in order to determine its relationship to earlier modern Ibâḍî reformism, and, on the other hand, to Tafsîr al-Manâr, in order to determine its relationship to that strand of Sunni reformism. It finds that Bayyûḍ’s commentary, like Tafsîr al-Manâr, promotes Islamic unity and eschews theological dogmatism, while attacking customs deemed antithetical to Islamic teaching and making sometimes lengthy digressions on topics of contemporary social and political importance. Nonetheless, Bayyûḍ remains faithful to Ibâḍî doctrine on topics on which Ibâḍîs and Sunnis differ, and there is little evidence that he argued for Islam’s compatibility with liberal values ; on the contrary, at several points in his commentary he states that modern ideas and customs constitute a real threat to Islam.

Tensions of nationalism: The Mzabi student missions in Tunis and the politics of anticolonialism - Ghazal, Amal N. (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 2015)
Abstract This article examines the significant yet largely overlooked role of the Mzabis, a community from the northern edges of the Algerian desert, in Algerian and Tunisian anticolonialism and nationalism. In so doing, it pursues two aims: first, to shed light on the importance of Tunis to the politicization of the Mzabis in the 1920s and to their induction into local and regional anticolonial and national movements; and second, to highlight the tensions of subsuming regional identities into overarching national identities by focusing on Mzabi political activists’ negotiation of the relationship between the Mzab and Algeria as a national project. The article also explores the spectrum of political possibilities and alternatives envisioned by Mzabis as they participated in religious reform, anticolonial, and nationalist movements. This spectrum, I argue, conveys the fluid relationship between local, national, and regional identities, thus undermining teleological readings of national identity formation.

The Field of In Between - Stein, Sarah Abrevaya (International Journal of Middle East Studies, 2014)
In the spring of 1902, Miryam bint Lalu Partush appealed to military representatives in Ghardaïa, in the Mzab Valley (a valley of five fortified oasis cities in the northern Algerian Sahara, six hundred kilometers south of Algiers), for the paperwork that would allow her to undertake a six-month pilgrimage to Jerusalem with her husband, the wealthy merchant Musa (Moshe) bin Ibrahim Partush. Miryam Partush was unusual in possessing the means for such a rare, costly voyage; but notwithstanding her class, Partush's legal status was typical of most Muslims and southern Algerian Jews in Algeria. She was not a citizen, nor did she hold official papers of any kind. When Miryam Partush appealed to the military authorities in Ghardaïa, then, she was appealing for many things: for the right to leave her native valley and travel to the port of Algiers; for the papers that would allow her to cross colonial boundaries; and for the documentation that would register her liminal legal identity. Authorizing her travel, Algeria's governor-general named Partush a “non-naturalized Jew from the Mzab.” Thus did Partush embark on her six-month journey with a negative legal identity: this Jewish woman was definable, in the eyes of the law, only by what she did not possess.

« Des perles dans leur coquillage » ? Les femmes et la réinvention du patriarcat dans l’Algérie coloniale (1882–1962) - Jomier, Augustin (Hawwa, 2019)
L’anthropologie des années 1960–1970 et l’apologétique musulmane véhiculent des visions fixistes des femmes au Maghreb. Combinées à la rareté des sources, ces idées font obstacle à la connaissance historique. À partir du cas du Mzab, une région du nord du Sahara algérien à la population majoritairement berbérophone et ibadite, cet article propose des pistes pour historiciser la condition des Algériennes durant la période coloniale. Là où Elizabeth Thompson a montré que le patriarcat a été réinventé et renforcé dans la Syrie mandataire par l’alliance des élites locales et de l’administration, cet article montre que la médiation de maîtresses femmes au Mzab a été indispensable au renforcement de la domination masculine. Un groupe de femmes savantes et pieuses, nommées les laveuses des mortes, y enseignaient la religion aux femmes et secondaient les lettrés ibadites dans leur mission. Elles furent les indispensables agents de la domination masculine, et virent leur agency accrue.

Von Sitten und Bräuchen im Mzab - Suter, Karl (Geographica Helvetica, 1964)
Certaines mceurs et coutumes connues chez nous en Suisse, surtout dans des regions alpines, sont repandues aussi chez les Mozabites, habitants du Mzab (Sahara algerien), herberes de race et musulmans du rite ibadite. Ainsi p. ex. une benediction des palmeraies a lieu chaque printemps. Lors d'une extreme secheresse, des processions se rendent au bord du lit de l'oued, priant pour que l'eau y afflue. On celebre aussi des fetes commemoratives, soit en l'honneur de cheikhs defunts veneres, anciens chefs des mosquees ibadites, soit pour rappeler des evenements historiques. Comme cercaines regions suisses, le Mzab connait l'institution des corvees auxquelles tous les hommes aptes au travail ont a participer. Des travaux de reparations aux bätiments publics. de nettoyage de la ville, l'elevation de digues et le creusement de conduites d'eau et leur entretien se fönt en corvee. L'institution de la garde de nuit ä Ghardaia, capitale du Mzab, est d'un interet tout special: eile presente une analogie frappante avec certaines organisations secretes de jeunes gens celibataires dans les Grisons.

Acridid (Orthoptera: Caelifera) diversity in agriculture ecosystems at three locations in the Mzab valley, Septentrional Sahara, Algeria - Zergoun, Youcef; Guezoul, Omar; Sekour, Makhlouf; Bouras, Noureddine; Holtz, Michael D. (Journal of Insect Biodiversity, 2019)
Caelifera is one of the largest and most diverse group of insects, and they are the dominant Orthoptera in agriculture ecosystems. We present here an inventory of Acridid fauna of the agricultural ecosystems in the Mzab valley (Septentrional Sahara, Algeria). Grasshoppers were sampled with quadrats in Béni Isguen, Ghardaïa and El-Atteuf, and we have expressed the species richness, sampling effort and relative abundance. The method used is that of quadrats sampling. The results revealed the presence of 27 species, divided into three families, Acrididae, Pyrgomorphidae and Tetrigidae. Among these families, we found that Acrididae are most diverse with six subfamilies. The subfamily Oedipodinae with 10 species was the most abundant, while the subfamily Tetriginae was the least abundant (represented by a one species). The value of the diversity index showed that the cultivated area of Béni Isguen is the most favorable for the development of many Caelifera. The abundance of grasses and low intensity of agricultural activity in this environment favors the presence of Acridid. We found that the Acridid community depends mainly on the nature and richness of vegetation cover, the intensity of agricultural activity and the type of irrigation.

Les réseaux étendus d’un archipel saharien. Les circulations de lettrés ibadites (XVIIe siècle-années 1950) - Jomier, Augustin (Revue d'histoire moderne contemporaine, 2016)
Cet article dévoile dans la longue durée les circulations de lettrés (oulémas) ibadites du Mzab et leurs échanges, entre le Sahara, les centres urbains du Maghreb et ceux du Moyen-Orient. Saisis à partir de l’Algérie colonisée, ces flux intellectuels, commerciaux et matériels (lettres, manuscrits, imprimés…) paraissent à première vue marginaux. À une tout autre échelle, ils constituent pourtant une plate-forme d’observation de liens transrégionaux et transimpériaux sous-estimés. Ces déplacements et ces échanges esquissent une aire et des flux migratoires qui enjambent le seuil chronologique des conquêtes coloniales. Ils font voler en éclat l’image d’un islam local et dénaturalisent le cadre algérien et colonial en donnant à voir, parmi les populations d’Algérie, des rapports à l’espace qui excèdent ceux construits en situation coloniale.

Tafilalt in the Mzab Valley – Algeria. A sustainable urban project in arid environment - Diafat, Abderrahmane; Madani, Said (urbe. Revista Brasileira de Gestão Urbana, 2019)
Abstract This paper aims to display a promising experience of designing a new community project based on the Mozabit old traditions to found their Ksour (plural of Ksar). The faith and “self-reliance” as ancient customs of the Mozabit society have led the Oases to survive in a hostile Saharan environment. Tafilalt project aims to respect the traditional architecture and values while creating architecture worthy of the sustainable development. The community in Bani Isguen city initiated the project in 1997, planning to create a new neighborhood for Bani Isguen ksar in order to alleviate the housing shortage in the Mzab Valley. The self-help, solidarity and collective work of this community allow low-income households to have access to affordable housing. The methodical approach fulfills a thorough analysis of the different steps concerning the process from the definition to the construction of such a collective project. This quite successful designed project tends to enhance the local urban environment and empower the community ties. A set of guidelines and recommendations are made in order to improve the design process and urban strategies of any alike coming projects. , Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma experiência promissora de criação de um novo projeto comunitário baseado nas antigas tradições mozabitas para fundar seus Ksour. A fé e a “autoconfiança” como costumes antigos da sociedade Mozabita levaram os Oásis a sobreviver em um ambiente hostil do Saara. O projeto Tafilalt visa respeitar a arquitetura e os valores tradicionais, criando uma arquitetura digna do desenvolvimento sustentável. A comunidade na cidade de Bani Isguen iniciou o projeto em 1997, planejando criar um novo bairro para Bani Isguen ksar, a fim de aliviar a escassez de moradias no Vale do Mzab. A autoajuda, a solidariedade e também o trabalho coletivo desta comunidade permitem que as famílias de baixa renda tenham acesso a moradias populares. A abordagem metodológica baseia-se na análise das diferentes etapas do processo, desde a definição do projeto até a construção desse projeto coletivo. Este projeto bem-sucedido foi projetado para melhorar o ambiente urbano local e fortalecer os laços comunitários. Um conjunto de diretrizes e recomendações será feito a fim de melhorar o processo de design e as estratégias urbanas de projetos similares.

The Mzab foggara: an original technique for collecting the water rising - Remini, Boualem; Achour, Bachir; Ouled Belkhir, Cheikh; Baba Amar, Dahmane (Journal of Water and Land Development, 2012)
Abstract This paper describes for the first time an original foggara, different from the classical foggara (foggara of Gourara) which collects water from the Intercalary Continental aquifer. Located in the middle of the Mzab River, this hydraulic system called the Mzab foggara is intended to exploit the flood waters. Two missions were carried in 2009 and 2010 in the Mzab Valley to describe the hydraulic system. The Mzab foggara constitutes of a gallery of ovoid form 200 m long equipped with 9 air shafts and a 900 m long seguia. The foggara of the Mzab River can drain water flow of 5 m3·s-1 to irrigate western part of the palm plantation of Ghardaia (located 600 km south of Algiers).

La moschea rupestre di Tnumayat (Gebel Garbi, Tripolitania, Libia) - Dell'Aquila, Franco; Fiorentino, Giuseppe; Bencini, Claudio (Opera Ipogea, 2011)
Wadi Adrar Foundation and Multidisciplinary Study Group “Berber Civility and Vernacolar Architecure” are performing survey missions since 2006 in the Jebel Gabi in Libya, addressed to study archaeological remnants of the ancient autochthonous civility once populating the tripolitanian mountain, to place artefacts in their historical context and finally to disseminate results. Architectural structures both constructed and digged into the rock were asessed, cave dwellings representing the majority of study cases, and showing a wide spectrum of models depending both on the various usage patterns befitting daily life, and on the geological structure of archaeological sites. Hitherto, Wadi Adrar Foundation and Multidisciplinary Study Group “Berber Civility and Vernacolar Ar chitecure” established cooperation toghether with italian Universities of Pisa and Florence, the Mediterra nean University, and with the Alrefak University of Tripoli, costituting working groups that studied, measu red and modeled several abandoned villages, Qasr, single housings and oil mills, all being both constructed or digged into the rock. In the present work the Rock Cave Mosque in Tnumayat is studied in detail, being situated in al-Khirba (the ruins) in the Kabaw neighbourhood. This individual artifact has been selected for the study as it represents an original example of Rock Cave Mosque showing fine digging technique and finely plaster bas-relief decorated interiors. A long inscription situated in the Dromos entrance trabeation allows both construction dating in 454 a.E.-1062 A.D. and customer Abd al-Malik identification. Interior is divided into three naves and a separate area reserved to women is identifiable
