Journée d’études :
« Rire en Égypte : l’humour dans la poésie dialectale
égyptienne », INALCO-CERMOM, Paris, 2 juillet 2021
Cette journée d’études se propose de mener des
réflexions sur le rire dans la poésie dialectale égyptienne et d’examiner dans
quelle mesure cette poésie véhiculait les divers aspects de l’humour et de
l’ironie. Nous espérons ainsi retracer l’historique du poème dialectal égyptien
depuis qu’il a commencé à prendre forme en passant du zajal
dont le chef de fil est le poète Bayram al-Tūnisī, à sa forme poétique, et
d’une critique sociale simple et directe aux vastes horizons poétiques et
lyriques.

Papers on "What Does Diaspora Mean in the 21st Century"
during the "12th International Convention of Asia Scholars
(ICAS 12)", Kyoto, 24-27 August 2021
The conference will explore the meaning of diaspora in the 21st
century. The diasporic discourse is at risk of becoming teleological as a means
of articulation, and, thereby, masking the very real struggles that may only
eventually produce collectiveness. Or, does this disavow any room for dynamics
within diasporic studies? The globalisation also brings with it a whole new set
of parameters for perspectives on belonging.
