Jasad ("body" in Arabic) is an Arabic-language cultural magazine based in Beirut, specializing in the literature, art and science of the body.
Founded in 2008, the first issue of Jasad appeared in December of that same year, and it has raised a great deal of controversy ever since, because it tackles subjects that are taboo in the Arabic language and societies.[1]
Jasad is distributed to readers worldwide through bookshops and/or by rapid courier via a yearly subscription system. It is a glossy magazine, 200 pages, sized 22 x 28 cm, and consists of different sections and columns, ranging from reportages, testimonies and articles, to essays, translations and creative writings, all covering the fields of cinema, literature, arts, theater, philosophy, science, revolving around the axis of the body.
Jasad is published by "Al Joumana". It is mainly in print, but small excerpts from each new issue are made available on its website.
The founder, editor and publisher of the magazine is Lebanese poet and journalist Joumana Haddad.[2]
