  Call for papers - Representation

  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.

  Conference, symposium - Information

  Beirut Media Forum 2008 : médias et islamismes

  Institut français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo), Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Orient Institute Beirut

  Ce colloque se propose de réfléchir sur les modes de représentation médiatique de l’islam politique à partir d’études de cas emblématiques (Palestine, Yémen, Soudan, Iran, Liban…) en explorant les facteurs qui président à leur construction et circulation. Il s’intéressera ensuite aux nouveaux lieux de communication politique islamistes – les i-médias – en s’interrogeant sur les formes de mobilisation et de réception qu’ils suscitent aux niveaux local, national et transnational.
