CONFERENCES / ONLINE EVENTS

 

1.    ONLINE Webinar: "Germany and Israel: Whitewashing and State Building", Middle East Institute, SOAS, University of London, 1 December 2020, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm GMT

 

Daniel Marwecki (Hong Kong University) deconstructs the myths surrounding the odd alliance between Israel and post-war democratic Germany. Thorough archival research shows how German policymakers often had disingenuous, cynical or even partly antisemitic motivations, seeking to whitewash their Nazi past by supporting the new Israeli state.

2.    ONLINE Discussion on New Book: "City of Black Gold: Oil, Ethnicity, and the Making of Modern Kirkuk", Middle East Studies Center, Portland State University, 1 December 2020, 3:00 pm PST

 

The author, Arbella Bet-Shlimon (University of Washington), reconstructs the twentieth-century history of Kirkuk to question the assumptions about the past underpinning today's ethnic divisions. This book shows how contentious politics in disputed areas are not primordial traits of those regions, but are a modern phenomenon tightly bound to the society and economics of urban life.

3.    ONLINE Webinar: "Mythmaking in Saudi Arabia" with Rosie Bsheer and Robert Vitalis, Brandeis University, 2 December 2020, 12:00 pm EST

 

This panel will analyze the politics of how history is produced. Bsheer will explore the increasing secularization of the Saudi state since 1991 and how this official history-making project is reflected in documents, buildings, and urban spaces in Riyadh and Mecca. Vitalis will question whether "oil for security" really defines the U.S.-Saudi relationship and will unpack why fears of oil scarcity and conflict remain so widely held.

4.    ONLINE Panel with Middle East Experts on "Digital Forays: Rewind, Repeat, Rehash: History, Materiality and ‘Digital Colonialism’", Kevorkian Center, 3 December 2020, 12:30 pm EST

 

The Middle East is continually framed as a space where archeological/heritage sites are not preserved. All the while the past is being reconstructed, mediated, and circulated by new tools, models, visualizations - and digitized by what often amounts to new practices firmly grounded in the same shadows: Orientalist tropes and (neo)colonalist methods. This panel will open up a space to think critically about the digital tools and approaches of heritage making in the region.
