Abstract:

The recent revival of interest in Moroccan thinker Abdelkebir Khatibi (1938–2009) around the English release of his seminal 1983 essay, Maghreb Pluriel represents an opportunity to place this thinker in the inner circle of post-1967 Arab thought. This article argues that most coverage and commemoration of him has been devoted to a glorified side of his trajectory that fits neatly within the framework of ‘postcolonial francophone intellectuals.’ However, this article argues that we must revise the meaning of his seminal book and his call for a ‘plural Maghreb’ to see it also as the demise of his project for a decolonized sociology in Morocco, which was necessary to set his sights toward semiology and his significant literary oeuvre. His example informs us on Arab intellectual strategies after the end of grand ideological narratives, and how to write Arab intellectual and cultural histories without succumbing to the trap of nostalgia.

摘要：

摩洛哥思想家 Abdelkebir Khatibi（1938-2009）在他 1983 年的开创性文章 Maghreb Pluriel 的英文版发布后，最近重新燃起了对他的兴趣，这代表了一个将这位思想家置于 1967 年后阿拉伯思想核心圈子的机会。这篇文章认为，对他的大部分报道和纪念都集中在他的发展轨迹中光荣的一面，它完全符合“后殖民法语知识分子”的框架。然而，本文认为我们必须修改他的开创性著作的含义以及他对“复数马格里布”的呼吁，将其视为他在摩洛哥进行非殖民化社会学项目的终结，这对于他将目光投向符号学是必要的。以及他的重要文学作品。他的例子告诉我们在宏大的意识形态叙事结束后的阿拉伯知识战略，
