20 Methodology — NORTH AFRICA — — MAGHREB — — MENA — 2.1 Key Terms There is no single commonly accepted definition of the term “North Africa,” which encompasses meanings of a geographical, political and cultural nature. In geographic terms, it may refer to the area that lies between the Atlantic Ocean to the West; the Mediterranean Sea to the North; the Red Sea to the East; and the Sahara desert to the South. In geopolitical terms, it is employed by international organizations such as the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (NU) to designate different groupings of countries. The nation-states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt are included in both groupings; however, the AU includes Mauritania but not Sudan or South Sudan, while the UN includes Sudan and South Sudan but not Mauritania. The term “North Africa” also overlaps with several others, namely the “Arab world” and the “Maghreb” (see below). AMA acknowledges these caveats and debates. However, in this document, it uses the term “North Africa” to designate a region consisting of the following states: Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia and the disputed territory of Western Sahara. The Maghreb is the region encompassing Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia and Western Sahara. Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya established the Arab Maghreb Union in 1989 to promote cooperation and economic integration in a common market. However, the Union is stalled due to ongoing conflict between Morocco and Algeria over the issue of Western Sahara. MENA is the commonly used acronym for “Middle East and North Africa.” There is no stable definition of the term either. The following countries are typically included in the MENA: Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Other countries that may be included are Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Chad, Comoros, Cyprus, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Georgia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Northern Cyprus, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Somalia, Sudan and Turkey.
21 Methodology — MENASA — — ARAB WORLD — — MOBILITY — — TOURING — MENASA is the acronym for “Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.” It typically designates the MENA countries as well as a subset of countries in Asia, most prominently India and Pakistan. However, as with the other acronyms cited above, its boundaries are not set. It is mainly used in economic and financial circles but is also gaining currency in the contemporary art and cultural sectors. Although it is sometimes used interchangeably with the term MENA, the term “Arab world” typically refers to the 22 states of the Arab league: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Mobility in the arts sector is for the purpose of this study defined as the temporary relocation of an artist to a region or a country other than that of permanent residence, for the purpose of presentation, performance, study, teaching or rehearsal. The relationship between mobility and migration is frequently related to economic means of survival (less frequently to an improvement on a social or economic scale). Drawing the line between artistic mobility and migration can be challenging as some artists will spend part of their career living and working in another country (Wiesand, 2008) and eventually become associated with the country of their choice. According to the new Oxford American Dictionary, a “tour” can refer to a journey made by performers or an athletic team, in which they perform or play in several different places. These places do not necessarily need to be located in several countries. A touring circuit is a more or less closely defined network of performance or exhibition places for the purpose of circulating artwork and performances. The organizers are generally the ones who determine how open or closed this network is and what criteria are applied for membership and development.
