“Egypt in Focus: Creativity in Adversarial Contexts” The current
socio-political situation in Egypt raises fundamental questions about the state
of the arts and the future of literature and culture in the country.
This special volume examines the complex
paradoxical predicament of a seemingly irrepressible expressive context under
the thralls of an imposed gloomy hush. It also addresses how individuals and
institutions navigate the inflicted muteness through different strategies. For
artists, writers, and intellectuals, the revolution is an unfinished ongoing
project that still fuels their art and praxis. Deadline for full papers: 1

41. Appel à contribution pour le MIDÈO 36
(2021) : « Iğtihād et taqlīd dans l’islam sunnite et šīʿite » Le dossier de ce
MIDÉO se propose d’approfondir les deux logiques à la lumière du patrimoine
islamique. L’histoire de la pensée islamique montre que l’on a établi en effet
des distinctions entre les principes fondamentaux (uṣūl) et les branches du
fiqh(furūʿ), que l’on a élaboré des relations avec des notions connexes (iḫtilāf,
ittibāʿ,iǧmāʿ, tarǧīḥ), que l’on a évalué de manière différente taqlīd (ḥarām,
maḏmūm,mubāḥ), ou encore établi des distinctions de degrés d’iǧtihād.
Deadline for
abstracts: 15 January 2020. Information: https://iismm.hypotheses.org/36891
