التصوّر المشترك بين الثقافات للقصص الخيالية كوسيلة عابرة للحدود

غالباً ما يتم تصوير وسرد الإلمام بالثقافة العربية والألمانية (أو الأوروبية) من خلال القوالب النمطية. وبالتالي، فإن الأدب العربي وخاصة القصص الخيالية كثيراً ما تُهمل باستثناء ربما قصة ألف ليلة وليلة. بالمقارنة بالعديد من أنواع النصوص الأخرى، تمزج القصص الخيالية...

General Information
The cultural women's journal is a GmbH initiated (1989) and edited by Dr. Greta Tüllmann who wants to support the creativity and responsibility of women in the public. The quarterly journal has an edition of 30 000 - for the production of the journal Dr. Greta Tüllmann collaborates with other individual enterprises and gets some support by women and some men with silent partnership. Since 1992 the ‘Hanan-Dialogue’ was established through friendship and cooperation between the Moroccan social scientist and writer Fatema Mernissi (http://www.mernissi.net) and the magazine 'ab 40'. We have led this dialogue in many variations and we are happy to open our internet pages for it as well, so that more women can participate.
Mission and Objectives

"go40“ as cultural women's journal is a global public project which encourages women since 20 years to publish articles and express their thoughts, works and arts. As many women in our world have grown up within Islamic religion and culture we want to give voices to them as well. Islam is the most wide-spread religion on our planet. It is a very peaceful religion and culture, as long as oil and power interests are not part of the picture. Many women within Islamic culture are working towards a democratic Islam. We want to support these women with our ‘Hanan Dialogue’ in building ‘HANAN Bridges’. We know too little about their countless initiatives and NGOs, because our media in their greed for stories on violence and terror do not talk about them. “ab40” wants to be ‘humus’ of feminine creativity in balance in men and women.

Main Projects / Activities

The journal „go40“ initiates and supports women's research and collaborates with academic women like the Moroccan social scientist Fatima Mernissi and the UN Gender Team, New York.
From the beginning social scientists like Dr. Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen or Dr. Heide Göttner-Abendroth were publishing their results of women research and modern matriarchal studies. With museums for women history and biographical research groups we are looking for the often hidden roots of women in history. This includes women of indigenousness cultures who raise their voice in the World Uranium Hearing. “go40” reports about campaigns against Female Genital Mutilation together with NGO's like “terre de femmes”.
As we believe that arts play a big role in a peaceful world we work with women beyond borders, a group of artist friends with the goal to encourage dialogue, collaboration, and community among women, and to honor their creativity worldwide.

General Information
14km is a non-profit organisation registered in Berlin, Germany, in 2010. It consists of a board, a program manager and a circle of founding members who support it.
Mission and Objectives

It is our mission to help good ideas and equal partnerships between Europe and North Africa become reality – through both facilitating, developing and implementing non-profit and for-profit co-operations between the two regions that are socially just and sustainable. In doing so, we are working to bridge the cultural gap and overcome the socio-economic distance between the two regions. Our networking and project work is not restricted to North-South relationships but also includes triangle co-operations (North-South-South, North-North-South). We believe in people and their ideas, and our contacts are our greatest asset - our network based approach makes us unique. We support any good idea between North Africa and Europe that: 1. promotes socio-economic and/or political justice 2. is sustainable 3. corresponds with the needs and wishes of the target communities

Main Projects / Activities

We already provide services in the area of networking i.e. connecting interested individuals and organisations from Germany and North Africa with adequate partners on the 'other side'. We do so in personal meetings as well as via http://www.facebook.com/14Kilometer. Currently we are putting most of our efforts into fundraising for the many project ideas (non-profit and social entrepreneurship) that we have developed and are developing with 'initiators' who have approached us.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We provide contacts for individuals and organisations that are based in Germany to adequate partners (according to the idea/initiative in question) in North Africa, but also the other way round.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are looking for partners from diverse fields in North Africa as well as Europe for project co-operations and networking.
