  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.

  Multiculturalism, interculturality, complex identities: the example of Caucasia

  The aim of the symposium is to highlight the treasures of an area that is culturally and historically a kind of multicultural island: the Caucasus. Nizami Ganjavi, for example, is a poet of multiculturalism, and he owes his fame both to his lyricism and to his ethics of peaceful coexistence. The Book of Dede Korkut is another interesting example: it is the result of a meeting of cultures, and it inspired many multicultural artists (poets, dramatists, film-makers). Caucasian multiculturalism is indeed still alive (among the numerous works inspired by the Oghuz epic, one can think of Nabi Hazri’s Dreams and legends, of Altaï Mamedov’s Deli Domrul or of Anar’s Dede Gorgut). The symposium will focus on the relationship between multiculturalism, interculturality and intermediality, as well as on the role of multiculturalism in the field of pedagogy.

  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.
