Transformed urban spaces and gender issues in Arab and Mediterranean societies
Tout en privilégiant la prise en compte des rapports de genre et les approches comparatives, le colloque insistera sur les processus de transformation des espaces et de leurs fonctions. L’espace est ici entendu dans un double sens : celui qui l’indexe aux lieux et aux paysages, celui qui renvoie à une délimitation abstraite pour dire, par exemple, l’espace politique ou l’espace littéraire. Les contributions de chercheurs, mais aussi d’autres types d’acteurs (associations, artistes …), ayant pour terrain les sociétés arabes et méditerranéennes seront privilégiées sans exclure d’autres régions du monde.

Irrationality in the Middle East and Islām
Atelier thématique – IIe congrès du GIS « Moyen-Orient et Mondes musulmans »
If rationality denotes what complies with the mind, irrationality, by contrast, deals with all that, at first sight, can't be explained and controlled by the ʿaql. In other words, irrationality is a negatively defined notion marked by lack or loss (ʿadam-, ġayr-ou lā-ʿaql), distance (ibʿād)or deviation (inḥirāf) from the intellect, or even it is the result of reduced rationality (qillat al-ʿaql). An irrational behaviour is considered rather strange, abnormal, and sometimes contrary to sound norms and moral principals. Consequently, this is the case of liminal states or of more or less voluntary marginal conducts: the insane and the mental ill, the drunk or the intoxicated, the silly, the foolish, the madly in love with beloved or with God, etc.
