Panel 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.

International Conference on “Canon and Censorship in the Islamic Intellectual
and Theological History”, Berlin Institute for Islamic Theology,
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 8-10 October 2021
Muslim societies and theologies did
not witness the emergence of a single institution that establishes a binding
canon for everyone who adheres to Islam. Instead, the constitutional positions
are (re)negotiated constantly in a scholarly discourse. Against this backdrop,
the conference focuses on the question of how certain texts and positions
evolve to a canon while others get lost in time.
