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 as well as narrative and aesthetic 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 edition of Regards aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

Transformations: translation and languages
The theme for the next issue of Al-Kīmīya, the Journal of the Faculté de Langues et de traduction of the Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth, is: “Transformation: Translation and languages”. The concept of transformation is present in several disciplines in human and social sciences as well as in the exact sciences. In terms of languages, transformation can be seen as a reflection of the dynamic nature of languages and their users. Languages are being transformed but are also able to transform the speaking subjects. In translation, the nature of the changes that the source text undergoes, is at the heart of thinking. The concepts of subjectivity, creativity, loss and equivalence have not lost their relevance and could be questioned. Is the meaning transformed in translation or is it revealed?

Data sharing between Lebanon, Jordan and Syria
Les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales qui ont choisi le Proche-Orient comme terrain d'investigation scientifique depuis le XIXe siècle ont constitué des fonds documentaires comprenant tous les types de sources. Chercheur·e·s libanais·es, syrien·nne·s ? Jordannien·ne·s et Français·es ont produit et mobilisé des corpus de notes et carnets de terrain ou de fouilles, photographies, films et enregistrements sonores, sites web... Ces ensembles constituent des collections qui sont susceptibles d'éclairer l'histoire de la région et d'aider à la compréhension du temps présent. Ces collections restent pourtant souvent difficilement accessibles, parfois même inconnues du monde académique et culturel et bien plus encore des différents publics concernés.

The Body in all its states. Aesthetics of the body in the Arab World
"Regard" Journal
The current issue of Regards will focus on the relations between the arts (cinema, theater, dance, visual arts…) and the body in the Arab societies and, more broadly, in the Mediterranean region. This sensitive subject suffers from prejudgment and prejudice in both audience’s and critics’ minds.

Lecture series - Political studies
Confessionalism and nationalism in Syria since 2011
Après huit années de conflit, le processus de fragmentation de la société syrienne sur des bases notamment confessionnelles est aujourd’hui bien entamée. Enclenché et instrumentalisé en premier lieu par les autorités de Damas, puis par les groupes armés jihadistes, elle s’accompagne de politiques d’enrôlement des acteurs en fonction de leurs appartenances religieuses et/ou ethnique. Dans ce contexte, que sont devenus les concepts d’« identité nationale » et de « nation syrienne » ? Comment s’articulent-ils à d’autres formes de solidarités qu’elles soient familiales, régionales et confessionnelles ? Comment les individus réagissent-ils à ce processus d’assignation politico-religieux qui les convoque jusque dans leur intimité : leurs façons de s’habiller, de penser, de prier, d’interagir ? Comment malgré les ruptures, les identités se reconfigurent-elles en exil ?

Language and Translation: Multidisciplinary Research
Al-Kīmīya - Journal of the Faculté de langues et de traduction (FdLT)
Reflection on the links between so-called related disciplines is not new. However, in the last decades, the works which display interdisciplinarity, pluridisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity have increased in number. For some, crossing the borders calls into question the autonomy of the disciplines, as if specialization in one area is no longer possible without recourse to other fields. It is not only a question of revisiting a much debated question, that of the historical relationship between linguistics and translation studies, but of rethinking the nature of the relations which bind one or the other discipline to other fields of study: literature, psychology, philosophy, sociology, cognitive science, culture, communication, history, etc.
