  Couple Relationships in the Arab Region: Changes and Renegotiations

  Hoda Rashad, Zeinab Khadr, and Eman Mostafa

  This chapter investigates the potential impact of two competing forces on the positioning and dynamics of marriage in the Arab region. It also investigates the level of satisfaction and the possible emergence of a new framework of conscious choice. The first type of forces support individual control. They foster informal unions and equitable dynamics. The expectations are that these relationships are governed by individual choices and are characterized by more closeness and romantic emotions. The second type of forces include the centrality of marriage, as well as a traditional division of gender roles. These forces sustain the institution of marriage, as well as a patriarchal separation of roles. The expectations are that these latter relationships lend themselves to pressured or even forced marriages and are characterized by uneven power relationships and less closeness and romantic ideals. This chapter demonstrates that couple relationships, particularly among the young generations, are caught between two opposing forces. Transformations are occurring, but the speed and degree of change vary widely among countries, as well as between males and females. The role of love and intimacy in shaping couple relationships is also shifting. The current evidence depicts a level of practicality in partner selection, as well as a degree of tension within marriage. It suggests that power relationships remain dominant. It also points to a transitional phase where women are more assertive in claiming their rights and exercising them in different formats.

  Partnering for Egyptian Heritage Oral History: Internal and External Collaborations Pursued by the Archives

  Stephen Urgola

  The story of Egypt and its people is a long one, written literally in stone at ancient monuments throughout the country. But perhaps the best way to tell the story of its contemporary period is through its inhabitants’ voices, by means of recorded oral history interviews. Oral history has become a major means of historical documentation for the Archives within the Rare Books and Special Collections Library of the American University in Cairo (AUC), one of the founding members of the AMICAL Consortium of American international liberal arts universities. A variety of collaborations and partnerships have enhanced the Archives’ efforts to document Egypt and AUC through oral history, thus producing rich primary resources for researchers, faculty, and students. This paper examines the progress of the Archives’ oral history program at AUC in its early stages, the experience of the University on the Square: Documenting Egypt’s 21st Century Revolution project after 2011, the effort to interview displaced locals of the Qurna village area in southern Egypt in 2016, and more recent initiatives. The focus will be on the collaborations fostered with faculty at AUC and especially with individuals outside AUC closely tied to and knowledgeable about local communities (most notably in the case of the Qurna Hillside Oral History Project), within an intercultural context. The chapter will include discussion of how these collaborations emerged, were mutually beneficial, and combined the oral history experience and resources of the Archives with the documentary passion, local contacts, and expertise of its partners. It concludes by suggesting paths other institutions can follow.
