Institut Supérieur des sciences humaines, Tunis, 18-20 novembre 2020
Les
liens entre ce que l’on nomme les Lumières occidentales et le monde
arabo-musulman ont donné lieu à plusieurs études ces dernières années. Les
analyses sur la relation entre ces deux entités culturelles ont souvent été
confinées à une réflexion sur l’orientalisme et sur le regard porté par les
écrivains occidentaux sur le monde musulman.

Symposium: “Foreign Images and Practices of Bibliotherapy: From ‘The
Arabian Nights’ to ‘Manga’, University of Strasbourg, 27-29 January 2021
The idea that books can cure is very popular in contemporary Western
culture, where workshops of “bibliotherapy” and books aiming at strengthening
mental health blossom. This new attitude is a turning point in the conception
of literature’s role since 1950. The new set of images and practices connect
literature not only to the aesthetic sphere, but also to everyday life.

Symposium:
"Ottoman Ego-Documents", Istanbul Medeniyet University, 7-9 April
2021
The
aim is not to reveal the autobiographical elements existing in any text or the
data about the author’s self by using the information found, say, in a marginal
note; but to focus on the distinct works which can be directly evaluated within
the scope of self-narratives. A close examination can reveal autobiographical
elements even in Ottoman chronicler’s accounts. Moreover, traveler’s accounts
can also be fitted in the category of self-narrative according to some
historians.

- Conference:
"Rethinking Narratives of China and the Middle East: The Silk Roads
and Beyond", University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 8-10 April
2021

regions, such as Europe, Central Asia, or South/Southeast Asia are also
encouraged, provided they are also incorporate both China and a country in the
Middle East, broadly construed.

Manuscripts, and Writing Systems in Byzantium and Early Islamic Near East
(324-1204)“ during the 56th International Congress on Medieval
Studies, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, 13-16 May 2021
In
this period, the Eastern Mediterranean witnessed greater linguistic
transformations that affected the entire regions and cultures, including their
popular and elite levels. The purpose of the sessions is to examine whether
this situation led to consolidating associative links between certain languages
and particular types, methods, and styles of writing regarded as their “proper”
or “preferred” mediums; and to what extent modern scholars can detect these
links today, studying epigraphy, manuscripts, and writing systems.
