ABSTRACT
I would like to thank the journal’s anonymous reviewers profoundly for their critical interaction with my ideas. I borrow the term “aesthetic field” from one of them, any mishandling of which is strictly my responsibility. Special thanks to professional photographer Rachid Bouarara, winner of the 8th Arab-European Festival Silver Award Photonour 2013, for his thankless fieldwork assistance. Special thanks to Prof. Taieb Belghazi and Prof. Ute Fendler for their intuitive conversations around the concepts in this work.
