Dear Colleagues,

On  the  occasion  of  ۲۴۰۰  years  since  the  birth  of  Aristotle,  the  International Association of Greek Philosophy, the Greek Philosophical Society, the Philosophical Society of  Cyprus  and  other  Societies,  Associations  and  Educational  Institutions  have  decided  to organize a  World Philosophy Congress on the Philosophy of Aristotle, under the Auspices of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies (FISP).

This  Congress  will  take  place  in  Athens  where  Aristotle  lived  most  of  his  life.  He studied and taught at Plato’s Academy for nearly 20 years and later he founded the  Lyceum where he taught and composed great works, and where the foundations of philosophical and scientific  research  were  brought  into  being.  Recent  archaeological  surveys  and  excavations have  brought  to  light  the  Lyceum  and  the  Congress  will  hold  Special  sessions  within  its perimeter. بیشتر بخوانید

The Qur’an: Text, Society And Culture’ Conference Thursday 11 – Saturday 13 February 2016 SOAS, University of London

Convenors: Prof. M.A.S. Abdel Haleem and Dr Helen Blatherwick

Proposals are invited for the Ninth SOAS Conference on the Qur’an, to be held from Thursday 11 to Saturday 13 February 2016. The conference series seeks to provide a forum for investigating the basic question: how is the Qur’anic text read and interpreted? Our objective is to encompass a global vision of current research trends, and to stimulate discussion, debate and research on all aspects of the Qur’anic text and its interpretation and translation.

While the conference will remain committed to the textual study of the Qur’an and the religious, intellectual and artistic activity that developed around it and drew on it, contributions on all topics relevant to Qur’anic studies are welcomed and attention will also be given to literary, cultural, politico-sociological and anthropological studies relating to the Qur’an. The final conference programme will take account of the range of proposals actually accepted.

Selected papers will be published as articles in the Journal of Qur’anic Studies, subject to standard outside refereeing. Speakers are expected to give priority to JQS when publishing these articles.

XIII conference of the Italian Society for Middle Eastern Studies (SeSaMO)

Since the Arab uprisings of 2010/2011, the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region has not stopped of being the focus of media and scholarly attention. The uprisings have brought about major transformations and called into question the Westphalian national state order in the region. The emergence of the Islamic State as an anti-systemic force has strengthened this reality, while re-surfacing Kurdish nationalism and escalating sectarian conflicts have added momentum to the fragmentation and re-composition of the regional order. Displaced populations and migrants contribute to reshuffle previously configured polities and communities. بیشتر بخوانید

Workshop: Critical Perspectives on Human Rights

Workshop convenor: Dr Birgit Schippers (St Mary’s University College Belfast)

Recent work in political theory, in critical legal theory, and in history has challenged human rights’ purported regulatory, disciplinary and exclusionary effects; further, it has highlighted the anthroprocentric assumptions underpinning rights discourse, and it has questioned the alleged privileging of juridical procedures, criticising human rights’ predilection for ‘jurocratic rule’ (Honig) at the expense of democratic practices. In response to these challenges, critical human rights scholarship draws on agonistic, aporetic and performative readings of human rights, and it seeks to excavate those discursive conditions that constitute the human as a bearer of rights. بیشتر بخوانید
