Gulf", SOAS, University of London, 3 November 2020, 5:30 pm – 7.00 pm GMT
Speaker: Jonathan Fulton (Zayed Universitym UAE).
China is a major economic actor in the Persian Gulf and its expansive Belt and
Road Initiative ambitions add a strategic element. In an intensely competitive
regional security environment, China has maintained an unusual approach,
deepening ties with all Gulf states including its comprehensive strategic
partnerships with Iran and its rivals Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

ONLINE Lecture "Protestant and Catholic Polemics
in the Arab Near East, 1698-1798", Centre for Reformation and Renaissance
Studies (CRRS), Toronto, 5 November 2020, 4:00 – 6:00 pm
Speaker Nabil Matar (Minnesota University). In the
Ottoman East of the 18th century, wars were fought on paper and from
pulpits and printing presses by local Catholic and Maronite clergy, by
Protestant English residents, and by pamphleteers from Halle. This corpus of
Arabic texts reveals the institutionalization of the European missionary
‘project’ – in a manner that was alien to the religious societies of the
Ottoman regions.

The purpose of the series is to demarcate and
critically examine the shifting terrain of film- and media-making in the Middle
East, and of practices of film and media studies regarding it, testing them
both against their larger, social enabling conditions at the national,
regional, and transnational levels. Titles in the series will engage recent
developments in the field of Middle East film and media studies.
