Atelier international : "Les microfondations du djihadisme dans la région sahélo-saharienne", Paris, 19 avril 2013

Atelier dans le cadre du programme : Les catégories idéologiques et les modes d'organisation sociale du djihadisme au niveau local. (Une approche du djihadisme par les sciences sociales), organisé par l'IISMM et Salma Belaala, chercheur Marie-Curie avancée, PCRD

À la différence des approches sécuritaires qui étudient le djihadisme au plan logistique et opérationnel, le présent appel à communication s'inscrit dans une approche de sciences sociales. En effet, le djihadisme est étudié, dans le cadre de ce programme, en tant qu'idéologie radicale. Le colloque a par conséquent pour objectif de rassembler des chercheurs en sciences sociales s'inscrivant dans une approche pluridisciplinaire sur la violence politique. Ces chercheurs développeront une analyse de l'Etat et des acteurs politiques au niveau local, de la géographie politique et sociale des territoires sahariens, de la démographie des flux migratoires et de l'économie parallèle, de l'anthropologie culturelle de l'islam local et de l'herméneutique de la propagande écrite djihadiste.

Langues de travail : français et anglais. Demandes d'informations et propositions (800 mots) à envoyer à S.belaala@warwick.ac.uk et appels.iismm@ehess.fr  avant le 28 février 2013

Beirut
Call for Papers for Researchers in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and the Wider Arab Region: "The Evolution of Scientific Knowledge in the Eastern Mediterranean under European Colonial Rule. Local Conditions and Global Contexts of Intellectual Encounters", Orient-Institut Beirut, 16-18 May 2013

The conference focuses on two fields of investigation that will add innovative insights to the existing literature of Arab-European encounters: 1. Which social and politico-cultural transformations were at the basis of the establishment of various academic institutes and institutions of higher education? Pointing to institutions such as the Société de Géographie d'Egypte (1875), the École des Beaux Arts in Cairo (1908) or the Majma' al-Lugha al-'Arabiyya in Damascus
(1918/19), the local contexts of these institutions and their responsiveness to changing concerns and ambitions in society shall be worked out.

2. How were the newly emerging academic disciplines linked to changing social discourses and political visions - and how did the quest for cultural authenticity and the confrontation with cultural domination of European colonial powers impact on intellectual thought and academic research of Arab scholars?

By following this line of investigation and building on original research, the conference aims at contributing both valuable historical case studies and new theoretical perspectives on intellectual encounters in times of social transformation and colonial rule.

Researchers are invited to send their abstract before February 16, 2013 to Dr. Goetz Nordbruch (nordbruch@gei.de) or Dr. Thomas Scheffler

Qatar
Proposals for Research on Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC
 The Center for International and Regional Studies (CIRS) at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar announces a major research initiative designed to enhance our understanding of Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC. Despite the increasing dominance of Asian migrants to the region, current estimates are that there are still somewhere around 4 million non-Gulf Arabs throughout the GCC states, or over 25 percent of the total migrant population. The Arab migrant community in the Gulf is predominantly composed of Egyptians, Yemenis, Palestinians, Jordanians, and Syrians. While the study of migration to the Gulf is increasingly garnering attention from a number of academics and interested observers, the bulk of ongoing empirically-based research efforts are focused on non-Arab migrants. The Arab migrant communities present in the Gulf have been a neglected area and merit further scholarly discussion and focus. In line with this, CIRS is launching a new multi-disciplinary research initiative entitled “Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC.” Our goal is to explore questions related to the topic through funding empirically-grounded, theoretically informed research proposals.
CIRS seeks to stimulate the collection of reliable data and the production of sound analysis on this topic. Priority will be given to projects that propose original, empirically-grounded research involving fieldwork on topics related to Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC. Award recipients are expected to become active participants in the CIRS research initiative on the issue. This may include travel to Doha for working group meetings, public talks, or authorship of a chapter for an edited volume. ‎ ‎
 The maximum amount per grant award is US $10,000 and the awards can last up to a maximum of one year. Researchers interested in applying should send a cover letter and detailed research proposal that conforms to the guidelines outlined in the Request for Proposals on the CIRS website. Proposal submissions are due January 15, 2013.
For inquiries and grant application submission, contact cirsgrants@georgetown.edu.

Grants for Research on „The State and Innovation in the Persian Gulf “, Center for International and Regional Studies (CIRS), Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar

Increasingly, the GCC
countries are speaking about their aspiration to develop knowledge-based economies, with the understanding that the region has to participate as a greater contributor to global intellectual achievement. The establishment of “education” or “knowledge” cities in the GCC region demonstrates state-driven initiatives to create future knowledge-based industries. How are these publically-funded efforts impacting on Gulf society, and are they visibly paying off in terms of across the board technological development as well as economic achievement?
