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

The journal Memoria y Civilización, published by the Department of History of the University of Navarra (Spain), is preparing an issue to be published in December 2015 on: Muslim Views of the West.
For several decades, historians and other social scientists have addressed the question of how the West had seen the future of the Islamic world, with its errors, distortions and stereotypes. This was evident again after the attack of 11-S in New York and, more recently, during the events arising from the so-called “Arab Spring”, especially in countries of North Africa and the Middle East. However, in this issue is intended to analyse the question of how an image of the West has been built over the centuries in the Muslim world with, probably, similar distortions and stereotypes. Approaches from various fields such as Literature, Art, Politics and History are welcomed. بیشتر بخوانید

University of Chicago Shiʿi Studies Symposium: “The Practical Authority of the Imams and their Representatives”

Date of Symposium: April 3rd-4th, 2015

The theoretical authority of the Imam in Shiʿism has been addressed as a question of intellectual history by numerous articles and monographs over the course of the last century. Polemics over the nature of the Imamate provide rich sources for such questions, leading back to the very earliest years of Islam. However, it remains far more difficult to study the question of the practical efficacy of the Imam’s authority, and those who wielded it in his name. This symposium seeks to draw together research that addresses both the intellectual conceptualization of authority with the question of the practical authority of the Imam and his various representatives. We welcome contributions from scholars working from any relevant scholarly perspective, including social, intellectual and political history, anthropology, political science, literature, and religious studies. بیشتر بخوانید
