  The Public Sphere and the Politics of Space

  With the gradual rise of socio-economic and political challenges facing the Middle East and North African (MENA) and the Sub-Saharan regions, the “public space” and the “public sphere” have come to the forefront of scholarly debates and research by scholars in various fields of studies. The concept of the “public sphere” was conceived as part of the interplay of first a physical locale that imply constant social relationships in a concrete public domain (public space) and second the constellations of socio-economic factors contributing to the rise of political debates (public sphere). The aim of this conference is to probe social, economic, political problems via the theoretical lenses of the public sphere, the different aspects of spatial configurations, the politics of space, as well as the counter-public or parallel discursive arenas as conceived by Nancy Fraser.

  Writing and authority

  Une longue histoire de lutte et de conflit régissait le rapport entre l’écriture en tant que concept existentiel et l’autorité - en instance de légitimité et de reconnaissance - dans sa tendance contraignante visant à dompter la première et à lui imposer ses diktats. Le colloque se veut une réflexion sur la relation conflictuelle et souvent ambigüe entre autorité et écriture. Son objectif est d’élucider l’histoire de cette relation, de  lever le voile sur sa nature, et d’en étudier l’impact,  que se soit dans le contexte culturel arabe ou occidental, en ayant recours aux différentes approches possibles (philosophiques, anthropologiques, sociologiques ou de critique littéraire) afin de rendre compte de cette relation.
