    Narrative forms and co-production in Arab cinemas

    Norms, constraints, and margins of freedom

    Film industry in the Arab world remains generally underdeveloped. Arab countries still depend on international film support funds, mainly European. This puts Arab producers, scriptwriters and filmmakers in a subaltern position in relation to European producers and funders, whose expectations in terms of content and narrative forms end up strongly impacting the film creation process. On the other hand, margins of freedom and resistance can be created within this system. This conference aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

    Talking about “Arabs”. Echoes from different Europes

    The immigration emergency, the Cologne attacks and other reports on the Arab populations in Europe generate commentaries across the continent. The concentration of unwelcoming attitudes towards Middle Eastern newcomers in Central and Eastern Europe is seen by some as the evidence of “a split of mentalities” between the “old Europe” and its ex-communist states. There is a need, however, to complexify these dichotomies by looking into how concretely knowledge on the Middle East is produced in different European countries. The Oriental Institute in Prague is organizing a workshop on this issue, seeking to investigate the nexus between three different fields of knowledge production and diffusion in today’s Europe: media, academic and policy-making.

    Arab public opinion and the challenge of revolutions

    Medias, elites and societies

    Ce colloque porte sur les opinions publiques arabes à l’épreuve des révolutions. Il a pour ambition de réunir, dans une perspective multidisciplinaire, des chercheurs et des professionnels qui s’intéressent aux nouvelles dynamiques politiques, sociales et culturelles dans le monde arabe. Cet intérêt pour l’objet « opinion publique » est l’occasion, non seulement d’interroger ce concept méconnu et de le remettre au centre de l’analyse mais également d’explorer les stratégies déployées par les acteurs (production de discours) pour l’influencer et de connaitre ses spécificités (le clivage féminin / masculin). L’idée est de jeter un regard nouveau, par le bas, sur les processus révolutionnaires qui secouent le monde arabe et de tenir compte de cette variable souvent ignorée pour une meilleure compréhension du phénomène dans sa globalité.

    Calendars, measures and rhythms of time: associations and conflicts

    Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée

    La Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée lance un appel à propositions pour un numéro thématique consacré aux calendriers, aux mesures et rythmes du temps. Ce numéro voudrait être l’occasion de donner un premier inventaire des techniques de mesure du temps, et des rythmes qu’elles induisent, replacés dans leur contexte social et historique. La réflexion s'articule autour de trois axes principaux : La mesure du temps ; les circulations, emprunts et conflits ; les rythmes du quotidien.
