ANNOUNCING TAHRIR DOCUMENTS

2011-03-26T22:49:00.003-04:00

We are pleased to announce the launch of Tahrir Documents, an ongoing project to archive and translate printed discourse from the 2011 Egyptian revolution and its aftermath. The website presents a diverse collection of materials — among them activist newspapers, personal essays, advertisements, missives, and party communications —- in complete English translation alongside reproductions of the Arabic-language originals. The site will be updated regularly, frequently, and indefinitely as new writings appear in response to post-revolution developments, and as we locate earlier materials.

The assembled documents address a variety of contemporary concerns including Muslim-Christian relations, constitutional amendments, moral conduct, revolutionary strategy, and the women's rights movement. Some of the highlights of the collection:

A defense of protestors' continued sit-in at Tahrir Square released on March 9th, the same day on which their encampment was destroyed by thugs
Guidelines for personal behavior after the revolution
Numerous denunciations of sectarian violence
The announcement of new political parties and presidential candidates.
Numerous articles debating the constitutional amendments passed last week
Selections from Gurnal and Revolutionary Egypt, activist newspapers founded after the revolution

We invite you to examine the the website, and to return regularly as we post communications and commentaries from the post-Mubarak era. We believe the archive indicative of the diversity of political thought and action in contemporary Egypt, and hope that this diversity is of interest to anyone following the country's transforming situation. The archive is searchable.

Tahrir Documents is the work of volunteer translators in Egypt and abroad. It is not affiliated with any of those authors or groups whose works appear in translation on the website, nor with any organization foreign or domestic.

For more information please write to the editorial board at tahrirdocuments@gmail.com. We invite the submission of materials for translation and publication on the website.

Regards,

The Editors and Staff of Tahrir Documents

As an afterthought just this: I went to Madame Eisner, she was still tired but marked by her illness. Someone must have told her on the phone that I had come on foot, I didn't want to mention it. I was embarrassed and placed my smarting legs up on a second armchair, which she pushed over to me. In the embarrassment, a thought passed through my head, and since the situation was strange anyway, I told it to her. Together, I said, we shall boil fire and stop fish. Then she looked at me and smiled very delicately, and since she knew that I was alone on foot and therefore unprotected, she understood me. For one splendid fleeting moment something mellow flowed through my deadly tired body. I said to her, open the window, from these last days onward I can fly.

-----
Here's what happens:

1. You sign up for this event by calling or emailing Andrea Gottschalk at 215.746.5824 or gottsch3@upenn.edu, and make a nominal donation of $10 to The Common Press for paper, ink, and supporting the creative respirator machine for fine letterpress printing in a digital age.

2. I fly down to Philadelphia with a sack full of wood type, which I will probably have to check (gah!).

3. You meet me at The Morgan Building (34th & Locust) on Saturday, October 16 at 1 pm.

4. You listen to me give a succinct and hopefully not terribly awkward talk on The History of Wood Type in America.

5. You receive some delicious reading material for at-home-consumption.

6. I walk you through setting wood type into a lockup, and then how to prepare, ink up, print with, and clean up a Vandercook Universal letterpress.

7. We pick random pieces of paper out of a bunch of little bags with instructions that dictate a free-form composition of wood type.

8. You go home with some CRAZY prints & ink stains under your fingernails that (don't worry) will come off in 3-4 days.

9. Your heart is full of sentimental typographic memories of our time together.
