One summer afternoon in Tbilisi, my friends Elizbari and Malkhazi, both native Tbilisians, and I bought some beer from a local store near Malkhazi's home in the hillside residential Tbilisi neighborhood of K'rts’anisi. For various reasons I can no longer recall, it would not do for us to drink in his home, so we randomly chose a deserted spot nearby: a patch of gravel next to a decrepit building with a large fallen tree, which afforded us a place to sit. Malkhazi surveyed our abject drinking spot, raised his beer in a heroic pose, and proclaimed: “ Ortach'alis baghshi mnakhe, vina var!” (In the gardens of Ortachala see me, who I am!). 1 We laughed at the absurd poetic reference. It was a famous line from a Persian-style Georgian poem by the noble romantic poet Grigol Orbeliani. It was a mukhambazi, a genre of poetry emblematic of “Old Tbilisi” city poetry associated with a nostalgic Georgian mythology of the nineteenth-century colonial city, centering on the island gardens of Ortachala, the site of drunken feasting of typical Tbilisian street peddlers called kinto s (Georgian k'int’o ). The stanza goes as such: In the gardens of Ortachala see me, who I am, In a happy-go-lucky feast see me, who I am! A toastmaster with a drinking bowl, see me, who I am! Well in a fistfight see me, who I am! Then you will fall in love with me, say, “You are precious!”
在第比利斯的一个夏天的下午,我和我的朋友Elizbari和Malkhazi,都是第比利斯本地人,我们在Malkhazi家附近的一家当地商店买了一些啤酒。Malkhazi家位于第比利斯krts 'anisi的山坡住宅区。出于各种各样的原因,我已经想不起来了,在他家里喝酒是不合适的,所以我们随便选了附近一个荒芜的地方:一栋破旧的建筑旁边的一块砾石地,旁边有一棵倒下的大树,我们就在那里坐了下来。麦哈西看了看我们可怜的喝酒地点,摆出一个英雄的姿势举起啤酒,宣布:“Ortach' is baghshi mnakhe, vina var!”(在奥塔恰拉的花园里,请看到我,我是谁!)我们嘲笑这种荒谬的诗意。这句著名的诗句出自高贵的浪漫主义诗人格里戈尔·奥尔贝利亚尼的一首波斯风格的格鲁吉亚诗。这是一种mukhambazi,一种象征“老第比利斯”城市诗歌的诗歌类型,与19世纪殖民城市的怀旧格鲁吉亚神话有关,以Ortachala岛花园为中心,典型的第比利斯街头小贩被称为kininto s(格鲁吉亚语k'int 'o)的醉酒盛宴。这一节是这样写的:在奥塔恰拉的花园中看到我,我是谁;在无忧无虑的宴会上看到我,我是谁!一个拿着酒碗的演讲会主持人,看我,我是谁!在决斗中看看我,我是谁!然后你会爱上我,说:“你是珍贵的!”

Katty Alhayek, Basileus Zeno
Over the past decade, there have been increasing numbers of displaced scholars from the Middle East and Africa who have come under sustained pressures and threats from their governments; only a few of them have been able to relocate to European and North American academia through scholarships and grants. 1 Even these temporary solutions for displaced scholars rarely result in sustainable institutional solidarity in the form of permanent teaching or professorial positions. The lack of institutional support, coupled with discriminatory and racialized immigration policies, pushes these few fortunate scholars to either accept exploitative conditions perpetuated by the neoliberal economy or leave academia altogether to support their families. These challenges, along with draconian economic sanctions and restrictions imposed by the US Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on citizens of countries such as Syria, Sudan, Iran, and Cuba are only a snapshot of what displaced scholars endure on a daily basis while trying to do research, care for their families, and compete with scholars with privileged citizenship status for shrinking opportunities in the academic job market.

The dinner I was invited to was held after the monthly meeting of the Kayseri Chamber of Industry on a pleasant summer night in 2015. The spacious dining hall on the top floor of the chamber headquarters was filled by over a hundred industrialists from large and small companies. Kayseri's nationally celebrated cuisine was lavishly represented on our table. I was in a good mood because I had been looking forward to this opportunity for the previous two years. This meeting, and especially the part closed to the press, would hopefully give me many insights into the relations among the members of the chamber.
我受邀参加的晚宴是在2015年一个宜人的夏夜,开塞利商会(Kayseri Chamber of Industry)月度会议结束后举行的。商会总部顶层宽敞的餐厅里坐满了大小企业的一百多名实业家。开塞利全国闻名的美食丰盛地呈现在我们的餐桌上。我心情很好,因为我在过去的两年里一直期待着这个机会。这次会议,特别是不向新闻界开放的部分,希望能使我对商会成员之间的关系有更多的了解。
