Culture is like life, it is not complete without this rise and fall in its course, it is part of the human experience, so it embodies his images and conditions, just as it describes his strength and weakness, as a being facing the world with his cognitive tools. When life around us transformed, economically and socially, it was natural for culture to experience its transformations and questions, and to be affected by the changes and updates that affected other structures. This is what tempted a group of cultural people in the eighties to discover the new culture in this world, and to approach the areas of questions within it, and to re-integrate it into a local cultural discourse that can never be separated from what is happening around it of cultural fluctuations, Arab and global, with the rise of modernity and beyond, of ideas, movements, and trends that filled the cultural space with noise and life. This desire to create a new cultural state was not without obstacles and clashes, and this book tries to describe that scene with its heat and the enthusiasm of its participants, and to approach the debates of modernity based on the most important local cultural supplements throughout a full decade, the eighties, a decade in which hopes and aspirations were crowded, as much as circles of fears and doubts about the course of transformations were expanding. Here, we will closely observe the images of the actors in this scene, and test their language and mood, to shed light on the most prominent stations, turning points, and debates in those cultural conflicts.
