  Call for papers - Language

  Translation: Ethical or political perspective?

  Translators work for the globalisation of commodities, patents and services; for the electronics industry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnologies, etc. - more than they work for the sake of the free movement of people. They perceptibly offer their services to whoever pays them, even if by so doing they might in some instances breach their own ethics. However, is there really a choice between a translation for the food industry and a translation for child protection? Between a translation for the aeronautics industry and a translation about the degraded environment? Between interpreting for the police officer who expels a foreigner and interpreting for a refugee, seeking asylum? Can we not be accessories of the dominant order, which represses its contradictions and tries more and more to control the various expressions, to subjugate, to domesticate? Can we do more than merely attend to subtitling films and television programs that are more and more standardised?

  The Arabic language, civilisation and communication in the Lake Chad Basin

  Il faut reconnaitre que l’un des aspects les plus intéressants de l'histoire de l'humanité est l'étude des résultats des contacts entre différents peuples dans un lieu ou un espace qui les entourent. Le bassin du lac Tchad dit berceau de l’humanité a vu sa population s’accroitre et se diversifier à travers le temps. Et ainsi, son histoire connaitra beaucoup de mouvements de genres : politiques, économiques et culturels. Et parmi les mouvements les plus marquants de l’histoire politique du bassin du lac Tchad l’on citera entre autres : la naissance des grands empires, lamidats, et beaucoup de chefferies traditionnelles. Et aussi le dynamisme des grands leadeurs qui se sont succédés et se sont hérités les trônes et les pouvoirs tout en laissant derrière eux, des traces qui sont encore très vivantes sur les peuples de cette localité malgré la durée du temps.

  Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

  The emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge, 4th/10th and the 8th/14th century

  2ᵉ Colloque de l'Idéo au Caire

  One of the questions raised today by some Egyptian religious authorities is on the lawfulness and relevance of using intellectual tools foreign to the Islamic tradition to read and interpret the Qurʾān and texts of the classic Islamic heritage. Is it permissible and appropriate to use contemporary human sciences to study the texts of the Arab-Islamic patrimony or should it be limited to the Ḥadīṯ? IDEO would like to contribute to this debate by studying the emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge in the Islamic sciences between the 4^_ᵗʰ/10ᵗʰ and the 8ᵗʰ/14ᵗʰ century.

  The associative sector in Lebanon: economies and networks of dependency

  Civil Society Review

  The polysemic nature of the concept of civil society refers to a diversity of social actors other than the state, and to multiform practices, strategies, and modes of action. This has lead to a myriad of publications by practitioners and academics. This call for papers does not seek to further investigate the associative sector in Lebanon conceptually nor in practice. We rather seek to critically explore the underlying intricate relations, economies, and networks of dependency, as identified by actors.
