  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.

  Freedom of expression and its judges - new issues, new perpectives?

  Ce colloque n’entend pas reprendre les thèmes liés à l’histoire de la liberté d’expression et à ses dimensions théoriques. Prenant le terrain pour objet d’analyse, il doit permettre d’observer les effets du renouvellement des supports de la liberté d’expression en ce début de siècle pour envisager son traitement quotidien, au fil des espèces et des situations, par les pouvoirs publics. L’on devra ainsi s’interroger sur la mutation de la liberté d’expression dans ses rapports avec le droit et les institutions, avant de décortiquer la manière avec laquelle l’autorité étatique – administrative et juridictionnelle, en amont comme en aval – trace les contours de cette liberté, ses conditions d’exercice et ses limites. L’objectif de ce colloque est ainsi de questionner – dans une approche comparative ouverte sur différentes expériences nationales – les ambigüités de la liberté d’expression telle qu’elle apparaît dans les pratiques récentes des individus, des professionnels du droit et de la sécurité.

  Articulations of Subjectivity and Objectivity in the Modern Middle East, North Africa, South and Southeast Asia

  International Summer Academy, 11-19 September 2014 at the Orient-Institut Beirut. This Summer Academy offers early-career scholars an opportunity to follow up on the debates about modernity, its preconditions and its aftermath by focusing on the multifarious processes in which societies outside Europe have adopted, translated, rejected or produced the global, the modern and tradition since the seventeenth century. It places a specific focus on the notions of subjectivity and objectivity as discursive practices which are intrinsically linked to each other.

  Graduate and Postgraduate Programs in Education in Arab Universities: Quality and Added Value

  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.
