MAKAN Journal of Culture and Space is edited and published by Think Tanger, an independent arts organization based in Tangier, Morocco. The first issue “Informal Utopias” was published in 2020 and established the foundations of the journal as a vehicle for critical engagement with contemporary architectural and urban conditions, and with academic scholarship emanating from, or focused on exploring Arabic-speaking milieu. The second issue “Manufacturing Narratives” was published in the summer of 2023 and focuses on how interrogating narrativity can provoke fundamental questions about how we define or choose to accept societal or historical truths in today’s world. Contributors were invited to right (as much as to write) narratives; to explore authorship and its social collectivities, to retell alternative public histories and explore gender roles, to unpack the exoticism, folklorisation and variant political textures and nuances of fiction as a practice of indiscipline.
Contributors for the second edition include A. George Bajalia, Ala Younis, Ali T As’ad, Karim Kattan, Karima Kadaoui, Kenza Sefrioui, Lahbib El Moumni, Laila Hida, Maureen Mougin, Mohamed Amer Meziane, Monica Basbous, Nadia Tazi, Sénamé Kouffi Agbodjinou, Sonia Terrab and Soufiane Hannouni, and Yto Barrada.
