PORTOLANI
Mais um modernizador muçulmano.
La rue arabe n'existe pas, mais la rue de l'islam, la rue de Dieu, existe.
Uma entrevista de Mohamed Kacimi, escritor argelino, no jornal francês Libération.
Mohamed Kacimi, né en Algérie, pose un regard sans illusions sur le monde arabe et l'islam. Sur ces sociétés «profondément communautaires, tribales» où «la notion d'individu n'existe pas». Où l'intellectuel est constamment écarté, tant la soumission au texte religieux et le mépris de l'esprit y sont grands. Mohamed Kacimi est né en 1955 à El Hamel (Algérie) dans une famille de théologiens. En 1987, il publie son premier roman, le Mouchoir (l'Harmattan). Puis, avec Chantal Dagron, Arabe, vous avez dit arabe ? (Balland). Passionné par la Bible, il écrit, toujours avec Chantal Dagron, un essai sur l'imaginaire religieux, Naissance du désert (Balland) puis le Jour dernier, (Stock). Mohamed Kacimi a écrit aussi pour le théâtre : 1962, évocation des utopies et des rêves de l'enfance algérienne, la Confession d'Abraham (Gallimard, 2000). Pour la Comédie-Française, il conçoit Présences de Kateb et l'adaptation de Nedjma de Kateb Yacine. Dernier ouvrage paru : Terre sainte, (l'Avant Scène, 2006). Il est en outre président de l'association d'auteurs Ecritures vagabondes....mais

PRESENTATION
Portolani, known also as portolans, were early maps used by seafarers to find their way round the coasts of the Mediterranean. Because they were produced by draftsmen on dry land from the accounts furnished by medieval sailors they were not very accurate; but they were better than nothing and gave mariners some idea of the dangers to avoid. This site aims to chart some of the dangers facing modern navigators who must cope with even rockier costs.
