1. Workshop on Arab(ic) Media - "Framing the Revolution,
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Institut für den Nahen und
Mittleren Osten, 17-18 January 2013
Our present workshop (term
2012/13) concentrates on the revolutions of the “Arab Spring” and their
(re-)presentation by the satellite channels. Based on considerations of
revolutionary theories and the concepts of media/news framing we will
strive to analyze and discuss two talkshows (al-Jazeera &
al-‘Arabiyya) to the effect of how different channels with differing
political agendas (re-)present, (re-)construct and construe the
political upheavals in the MENA region in distinctive ways.
All
researchers interested in Arab media are most welcome to participate in
this workshop (no fee); an informal e-mail to David Arn (
david.arn@lmu.de) is sufficient for registration. Further information:

6. Colloquium: "Literature of Inebriation / Inebriation by Literature", INALCO - CERMOM, Paris, 21 June 2013
Inebriation
(sukr) is the state of psychological exaltation that can trigger
indifference towards morality, as well as a temporary loss of inhibition
and self-control (ḥilm). The effects of intoxicants have often been
associated with ecstasy and suspension of reality, during which the
subject discovers sensations never felt in normal conditions of sobriety
(ṣaḥw). Thus, he can open for himself a space of intellectual freedom
and imagination, similar to that of dreams and madness. Therefore, in
the poetic experience, the simple reading or the repetition of some
poems or texts can provoke a state or a succession of states similar to
sukr. The aim of this colloquium is to examine some aspects of
inebriation in and by literature in the classical and post- classical
periods in the Arab world and beyond.
Deadline: 17 February 2013. Info:
