ABSTRACT

This article aims to conceptualize the interplay between sarcasm, scatology and writing in Darija (Moroccan Arabic or Al-Maghribia) on the web in a post-uprising era. It focuses on the new Darijophone prose that emerged after 20 February 2011 protests in Goud and The Newزحيليكر‎ (The New Bumpkin). Originating with absurdist February 20 movement founder member, Mohammed Sokrat, this writing genre is realist, vulgar, profane, taboo-breaking, and borrows from the toilet space to poke fun at the schizophrenia, herd mentality and populism that attend a modernizing society under a neoliberal regime. A vocabulary of trash, waste, filthy social types and risqué gags has informed a unique online minoritarian prose that is unpopular, yet widely read. This article studies the virtual politics and poetics of dirt and laughter in written Darija. Writing at the interstices of commitment and co-optation, this subcultural mode of knowledge production reveals Moroccan youth's heretofore suppressed yet incessant longing for change in a post-uprising context of disillusionment.

摘要

本文旨在概念化后起义时代网络上的讽刺、粪便学和 Darija（摩洛哥阿拉伯语或 Al-Maghribia）写作之间的相互作用。它侧重于 2011 年 2 月 20 日在Goud和The New زحيليكر （The New Bumpkin）。起源于荒诞派 2 月 20 日运动创始人穆罕默德·索克拉特，这种写作体裁是现实主义的、粗俗的、亵渎的、打破禁忌的，并从厕所空间借来嘲笑精神分裂症、从众心理和民粹主义在现代社会下的现代化社会新自由主义政权。垃圾、浪费、肮脏的社会类型和危险的噱头组成了一种独特的在线少数派散文，该散文不受欢迎，但被广泛阅读。本文研究了书面达里哈中泥土和笑声的虚拟政治和诗学。在承诺和合作的间隙写作，这种知识生产的亚文化模式揭示了摩洛哥青年迄今为止被压抑但不断渴望改变的后起义背景。
