Pop Culture in the Arabian Peninsula

Arabian Humanities No. 14 (Spring 2020)

The literature on pop culture in the Arabian Peninsula is particularly thin. While a rich scholarship has analyzed oral culture and vernacular poetry, less ink was spilled on those forms of culture that use new media, from tape recording to mobile phone aps and from TV production to YouTube. This issue of Arabian Humanities seeks to fill that gap and to analyze pop culture in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

Difficult terrains, sensitive subjects. Research in the Maghreb and in the Middle-East

میادین صعبة الولوج و مواضیع ذات حساسیة : القیام بالأبحاث المیدانیة في المغرب العربي و الشرق الأوسط

Les difficultés « du terrain » se trouvent de plus en plus au centre des préoccupations de la recherche en sciences sociales. Les cas extrêmes, comme la guerre et le terrorisme, annoncent même sa possible disparition. Mais se limiter à ces cas de figure, c’est laisser de côté un grand nombre de sujets autrement plus complexes et plus difficiles. Ce colloque souhaite les aborder en focalisant sur le Maghreb et le Moyen-Orient.

The emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge, 4th/10th and the 8th/14th century

2ᵉ Colloque de l'Idéo au Caire

One of the questions raised today by some Egyptian religious authorities is on the lawfulness and relevance of using intellectual tools foreign to the Islamic tradition to read and interpret the Qurʾān and texts of the classic Islamic heritage. Is it permissible and appropriate to use contemporary human sciences to study the texts of the Arab-Islamic patrimony or should it be limited to the Ḥadīṯ? IDEO would like to contribute to this debate by studying the emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge in the Islamic sciences between the 4^_ᵗʰ/10ᵗʰ and the 8ᵗʰ/14ᵗʰ century.

Augmented Reality: manifestations and perceptions

Dire que les nouvelles technologies sont en train de faire faire à l’humanité un bond dans le futur serait mitigeant. Il serait plus juste de parler d’un dédoublement de sa réalité ou tout au moins d’une réalité parallèle, autrement dit une réalité qui transgresse le réel et qui présente des risques de modification de notre perception du monde.

L’imposture dans les expressions artistiques contemporaines

الانتحال في التعابير الفنية المعاصرة

La création se caractérise aujourd’hui, beaucoup plus que par le passé, par une tendance très nette à la polarisation. Cette polarisation s’accapare la scène artistique et créé ses espaces d’expression, d’exposition et de présentation, lesquels ont très vite fait de se soumettre aux lois du marché et à ses vicissitudes. La scène artistique va ainsi s’organiser, toujours en fonction de cette polarisation en secteur professionnel et amateur avec la hiérarchie que l’on suppose. Le professionnalisme ne passant pas obligatoirement par l’institution englobe la catégorie de l’autodidacte et la dépasse grâce à la reconnaissance que donne le marché de l’art à ce dernier. En l’absence d’une bonne assise de l’activité critique, la concurrence entre les artistes va créer son propre arsenal d’alibis et de contre alibis dans une tentative de survivance. La confusion des étiquettes « professionnel », « amateur », « autodidacte », « académicien », va favoriser l’émergence d’une axiologie qui valorise les uns et fustige les autres accusés d’imposture.

The war of the others: The colonies of the First World War

Footsteps, narratives and memories

This symposium is aimed at taking stock of the different researches carried out on the colonial participation in The First World War, as much from the point of view of history as of representations, in order to understand better the transformations occurring during this conflict. Indeed, it hopes to consider as large a geographical space as possible: to be not only a reflexion about French colonies, but to be open to the European and international dimension. This symposium will concentrate on understanding what the Great War was to those who were involved in it without necessarily having decided to do so: pain, refusal, but also discoveries...

Conference, symposium - Early modern

Writing and authority

Ce troisième congrès international 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.

Light in the Religions of the Book: A Multidisciplinary Approach

If light is a valuable tool for the development of buildings, it also meets the requirements of practical and functional needs. Beyond its purely aesthetic role, it is indeed a way to delineate the space and to organize its occupation by defining spatialities and temporalities adapted to the functions of the building. In order to assess the significance of spatial and temporal dimensions of light, a cross-reading of architectural, archaeological, textual and iconographic sources might be particularly fruitful. The theme of light which, somewhat complex, constitutes a privileged entry point not only to the study of man's relationship to space and the sacred, but also to the development – within or between monotheisms – of influences, exchanges, ruptures, continuities and legacies. The goal of the conference is to explore the theme of light in the East and in the West, during the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, in a transdisciplinary perspective and within five thematic panels.
