1956-1958: A revolutionary period that changed Africa (and the world)
The objective of this panel is to compare the various social mobilizations that took place in Africa during the years 1956-1958 and which arguably constitute a historical watershed. The main aim of the panel is not the making of an abstract comparative analysis, but the analysis, based on the testimonial material collected, of how the memory of these events has been structured over time. Moreover, we are interested in understanding what the impacts of these social movements were on the structuring of states and what continuities can be found between the mobilizations of that period and the ary social mobilizations that have shaken the continent in the last ten years, from the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011 onwards.

Movements and flows in the Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea and the Gulf region during World War I
Special issue of Arabian Humanities n° 6
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of WWI, Arabian Humanities is launching an issue on the history of the Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea and the Gulf during the Great War. Focus on movements and flows in/from/to the Red Sea, the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf is meant to question the marginal position and isolation of the region during the war, to assess spatial and territorial reorganizations affecting movements and exchanges, and to give further attention to the region's global connections. What are the exchanges that can be identified during this period both in the region and in a global context? To what extent did the war impact on such flows in a region where borders and frontiers were still porous, ill-defined and fought over?

Aux marges de la littérature arabe contemporaine
La marginalité, dans la littérature arabe contemporaine, peut s’entendre à divers niveaux : l’étude des œuvres prenant pour thème la marginalité dans la société arabe, mais aussi les auteurs considérés comme marginaux, les auteurs marginalisés par le pouvoir et la censure, les littératures ou les oeuvres considérées comme géographiquement ou culturellement marginales. -

L’ivresse de la liberté : la révolution de 1908 dans l’Empire ottoman
1908 est le point fort du rapprochement entre la Turquie et l’Europe. Alors que réformisme et révolution, impérialisme et nationalisme, socialisme et libéralisme inspiraient mouvements et débats contradictoires en Europe, les intellectuels jeunes-turcs, inspirés par ces débats, ont mené une révolution qui a ébranlé tout l’Empire, le Moyen-Orient et même au delà. Pour la première fois, ces pays ont fait l’expérience de la liberté. On évoque même alors une « ivresse de la liberté ». Il s’agira ici de voir dans quelle mesure cette soudaine liberté de parole et d’expression et de déplacement a abouti à créer un « espace public ». Nous rendrons également compte des influences européennes sur les intellectuels Jeunes-Turcs et de l’impact de cette révolution, sur cette partie du monde musulman et ailleurs. -

Le droit et le waqf (fondations pieuses)
Nationalisations et le contrôle de l'État
Les présentations explorent le droit colonial vis-à-vis du waqf en tant qu'institution mais aussi les propriétés leur appartenant dans le monde musulman avant l'indépendence des pays colonisés. Dans l'objectif d'étudier le droit qui s'y adaptait ou qui s'adaptait par rapport au waqf, les contributions se concentrent sur des mécanismes légaux innovateurs ou des discussions qui ont eu lieu dans les pays concernés à l'égard du statu quo de waqf au moment des interventions coloniales à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle.
