Centre at Sussex (MENACS), 23 March 2021, 16:00 pm - 18:00 pm GMT
Mahmud Mukhtar (1891-1934) is widely considered to be the father of
modern Egyptian sculpture, and the country’s first internationally recognised
artist. This case study brings into sharp relief the simultaneously expansive
and restrictive understanding of the Egyptian artist that developed in the
early decades of the twentieth century.

ONLINE Lecture: "State Building and the
Post-Gaddafi Libyan Crisis" by Youssef Sawani (University of Tripoli),
Critical Students of Islamic and Arabic Studies (KIARA), University of Leipzig,
24 March 2021, 7:30 pm CET
This lecture will provide a background of the Libyan
crisis/conflict, seek to analyse its dynamics and highlight the intrinsic and
perennial factors that contribute to it. Libya, despite what seems to be the
case, is not just a tribal and stateless society. Sawani will criticize the
approaches that see its ailing situation only in such projection that actually
reflects orientalism and Western centrism.

Imagination: The Marginalization of Yemen’s Black Community” by Gokh Amin
Alshaif, Department of History at Brandeis University, 24 March 2021, 11:00 am
EST
Gokh Amin Alshaif will examine the origin myths and racialized
genealogical imagination at the root of Black Yemenis’ (known as Muhamasheen)
marginalization. She will discuss the ways in which some Yemenis deploy
imagined genealogies to justify the Muhamasheen's status and construct the
categories of "Arab" and "Black" as mutually exclusive.
Finally, she will explore acts of resistance by Muhamasheen activists today and
their struggle to reclaim power over naming and genealogy.

The author`s work on the lexicon of the Quran stems from his interest in
contact between Aramaic and Arabic. A question to ask is: ‘What has the Quran
contributed to the lexicon of Arabic? And what are its sources?’ The data from
the Quran offered much more information than anticipated.

China has forged comprehensive strategic partnerships with key Middle
Eastern states. China hopes that its economic efforts to be the region’s
technological juggernaut as part of its Belt and Road Initiative and Digital
Silk Road will shield it from being consumed by the myriad of conflicts in the
Middle East. Will this be sufficient to protect from China’s mushrooming

Forging Twelver Shi'ism (850 – 950 CE)" by Dr Edmund Hayes (University of Leiden),
Institut of Ismaili Studies, London, 22 April 2021, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm GMT
The traditional account of the early occultation-era Imami Shiʿi
community depicts a series of four agents as mediating for the hidden Imam
between 874 and 940 CE. To understand the formation of Twelver Shiʿism, we must
understand the ways in which the authority of the agents and other community
leaders was contested.
