I wish a courageous magazine like JASAD by Joumana Haddad would be published here too!!

“JASAD, (Body in Arabic) is quarterly cultural magazine, unprecedented in the Arabic region and language, specialized in the Body’s arts, sciences and literatures. Founded in 2008, its first issue appeared in December of that same year.

German poet Novalis once wrote that the only real temple in this world is the human body. In fact, JASAD aims to reflect the body in all its representations, symbols and projections in our culture, time and societies, and hopes, by doing so, to contribute in breaking the obscurantist taboos (just like the broken handcuff in its logo wishes to convey), and in providing writers, researchers and artists with the freedom that they rightfully deserve.

JASAD is published in Beirut - Lebanon, in Arabic language, and distributed to readers worldwide through bookshops and/or by rapid courier via a yearly subscription system. The magazine is accepting”
