Summary: Mirene Arsanios of
98 weeks in Beirut is interested in collecting and sharing through their library a collection of Arab magazines and literature. In Pad.ma, she tries to capture the experience of chancing upon an ephemeral scratching of words, thoughts and underlined sentences in the magazine. The faint echo of these words, grocery lists and letters of support from the readers in magazines like Mawakef is found in her video on marginalia.
Mawakef
1) Egypt is a society being built by the military. Anouar Abed El Malak
2) Imperialism is the highest phase of capitalism. Lenin

Beirut, Lebanon
The bourgeosie annihilates feudalism through its industrial revolution and liberates the peasants, only to use them as workers in the factories.
The bourgoisie owns the factories, whereas the workers work, but don't own anything.
If we make peace with the reactionaries, in order to have them contribute with whatever they can to the struggle, without having them take a leadership position within the struggle, the work will be carried out correctly and in full awereness.
The temporary alliance of the Arab revolution with the reactionaries is signed to prevent side conflict and to mobilize what can be mobilized for the combat, all this under the leadership of the arabic revolution and not under the leadership of the reactionaries.
And in 1945, the domination of the egyptian bourgeoisie ( Al Wafid political party) on the leadership of the National movement reaches an end.
Meanwhile, the two bourgois parties where getting ready to initiate negotiations with the slogans "Al Jala" and "The unity of the Nile under the egyptian crown".
...and objective that couldn't allow, at that time, to take control over the power, but the important thing is that the Nasser's movement ended the progression of the Popular Movement.
The industrial and the banking capitalists expressed their support to the agricultural reform.
This relationship between a group controlling the means of production, and the group that doesn't possess anything, not even their own work power-which they have sold- is the relationship of the capitalist production.
It posseses (an intermediary)
What does Lebanon need more than another country and what kind of balance between the different issues does Lebanon need to confront its present problems?
...This the issue of the opening on the world culture but it is also, foremost, an opening on popular culture that should deepen its roots in the mind and in the heart of the child to gain his attention before everything else.
Always at your service

Dear Friend,
We Salute you, we are proud of you, we are proud of your participation to Mawakef. Mawakef, with this issue is entering its 4th year, and it is gaining trust in you, and we firmly believe that you are thriving for the truth. And if we didn't feel that our work in the magazine is still under the level we are aiming at, we, nonetheless, at the same time, feel that this magazine accomplished in a short period of time the highest level that could be reached by an intellectual arabic magazine, when it comes to boldness in confronting the problems and solving them, deeply and genuinely.
To this we add that the magazine, for the creative Arab, is his ONLY mean to publish creations outside the "official" trend, or confront issues that are still "taboo" or "sacred" that are not usually confronted.
It is, in other words, the ONLY place that could welcome his writing adventures, either in creating new forms of expressions, not welcomed by the "official common taste" or his critique of the dominant Arab values, a radical critique that can not tolerate "the official common thinking".
And this is what caused the magazine the animosity of the Arabic powers, "righist" or "leftist", "reactionary" or "progressiste". This increased our trust in this magazine, but it also caused us financial problems, which are practically visisible in the fact that the magazine can't appear regularly, and in its budget increasing deficit.
So, my friend, our trust in you leads us to consider your participation to the magazine and intellectual contribution above everything. And we consider your subscription to it a support and not merely a common subscription, and the minimal fee for this support is 25 L.L.
We trust that you will stand by us and that you will work to support this magazine because you, you too, beleive in freedom, creation and change.
We send you our best appreciation and affection,
The editorial commitee
