Artworks

[edit]

Fawzi Boubia is the author of a dozen books and numerous scientific articles. He published a book on politics and theatre in the 18th[2] century and a novel that is considered the first Moroccan novel translated into German: Heidelberg-Marrakesch, einfach.[3]

On the occasion of his invitation to the Rauris Literary Festival in Austria (Rauriser Literaturtage, 1997) to present his novel Heidelberg-Marrakesch, einfach, he read and published the first German-language poem Scheherezade in the dürftiger Zeit.[4]

His publications revolve around several issues: exile and migration;[5] theory of difference and cosmic literature (Goethe);[6] philosophy of exclusion (Hegel);[7] philosophy of negativity (Rousseau);[8] intercultural communication;[9] Orientalism and Occidentalism;[10] the Arab Spring as the third "Al-Nahda" (Renaissance);[11] Islam as an integral part of Europe.[12]

In an article he published on the occasion of the Arab Spring in Arabic, he invented the Arabic concept of "irhalocracy" (the power to dismiss the executive through free elections according to the political philosophy of critical rationality), he intended to replace the term "democracy", which is often overused by rulers in the East.[13] And long before the first popular uprising that erupted in Tunisia, Boubia denounced in an Arabic interview given in 2010 on German television (Deutsche Welle TV) the taboos which block any process of emancipation in the Arab world and which mainly concern the place of religion in society, politics, sexuality etc.

In January 2014 Boubia had the honor to present in Germany his collection of poems Arabischer Divan in der Sprache Goethes. He recited his poems written directly in German in front of the Academy of Stuttgart (Akademie für gesprochenes Wort)[14] and in Tübingen in the Tower of Hölderlin,[15] this temple of universal poetry.
