5. HYBRIDE Journée d’étude – Pierre-Jean Luizard : « Liban-Irak : les enjeux du confessionna-lisme politique », GSLR-CNRS, 2 avril 2022, 14h00 – 17h00 CET
Officiel au Liban, inavoué en Irak, le confessionnalisme politique réserve les principales fonctions de l’Etat en fonction de l’appartenance religieuse (et ethnique en Irak). En comparant les deux systèmes en place dans les deux pays, qui imposent le règne des milices et le triomphe des élites confessionnelles, on com-prendra mieux pour quelle raison il est si difficile de sortir pacifiquement d’un tel système qui nie tout espace public et empêche toute citoyenneté commune. L’échec des Printemps arabes en est une illustration.

1.The UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies and the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University are pleased to open a call for paper submissions to their conference, “The Iranian Diaspora in Global Perspective.” The conference will be held on February 16–17, 2023 at the University of California, Los Angeles and aims to support the growing field of Iranian Diaspora Studies by sharing new research and scholarship.
The conference will bring together senior scholars, mid-career scholars, and emerging researchers in any discipline who are contributing to and developing this emerging and transnational field. Panels and speakers are encouraged to showcase work on the Iranian diaspora in a global context, including but not limited to:
Histories of Iranian migration and diaspora formation
Sociological and cultural dimensions of Iranian diaspora communities
Comparative studies, whether comparing across Iranian diaspora communities or between Iranian and other immigrant groups in differing locations
Research on Iranian communities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania; especially South-South relations
Studies that cast light on the heterogeneity of Iranian diaspora communities and their migration experiences
The conference is also interested in creative expressions such as documentary film, fiction films, photography, and/or animations related to themes and experiences of the Iranian diaspora.
This conference will build and sustain a stronger academic community, draw attention to increasingly transnational elements of the Iranian diaspora, and highlight the importance of cross-disciplinary research and collaboration. Additionally, we will draw from selected 2023 conference presentations to invite papers for an edited volume that will be made available in open access format through an academic publisher such as University of California Press.
While we aim to hold the conference in person to benefit from the incomparable experience of in-person exchanges, we are taking COVID-19 into consideration as we plan possible modalities for the conference. Conference presentations will be in English. Travel and lodging will be covered by the conference.
To submit:
Please email your 300-word abstract and presentation title along with a four-sentence bio and contact information to: Rohan Advani (rohadvani@g.ucla.edu). Please include “Iranian Diaspora Conference 2023” in the subject heading.

3. CARPO Study 11 Narratives of (In)Justice in Contemporary Yemeni Novels
We are happy to share with you our latest Study, which we are publishing jointly with our partners, the Institute of Oriental and Asian Studies at the University of Bonn and the Gender Development Research & Studies Center at the University of Sanaa:
*“Narratives of (In)Justice in Contemporary Yemeni Novels. Representations of Socio-Political Practices and Normative Constructions” *
/by Osama Ali, Fadhilah Gubari, Julia Gurol and Abdulsalam al-Rubaidi /
Download the full Study from our website <http://87j6.mjt.lu/lnk/AMIAAMDqLbUAAcg4OjQAAAAP8M0AAAAABKEAAAPQAAt9mABiOchUp1Mz0-abS0m4R7j7pWs4fAALkkQ/1/ORWCnm3p0gkqFCRXTjEUrQ/aHR0cHM6Ly9jYXJwby1ib25uLm9yZy9lbi9jYXJwby1zdHVkaWVzLTIv>*.*
This Study analyzes narratives of (in)justice in contemporary Yemeni novels. Through a lexical field analysis of nine selected contemporary novels, the paper highlights how (in)justice is framed in narrative literature, both in terms of representations of certain socio-political practices and in terms of normative constructions and the creation of a normative order. It argues that novels represent and discuss the complexities of Yemeni realities, where daily practices and experiences of individuals are entangled with philosophical questions about the meaning of life. It discusses the nexus between the framing of (in)justice and post-conflict reconciliation and provides an original insight into the understanding and constructions of justice and injustice offered to society by Yemeni novelists.

5. EuQu International Workshop – The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites in the World of Eastern Christianity
International Workshop – The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites in the World of Eastern Christianity
May 11-12, 2022 | University of Copenhagen
The Holy Book of the Ishmaelites was the name commonly used by Eastern Christians of various traditions to refer to the Qur’an. Since the emergence of Islam in Late Antiquity, Eastern Christians speaking Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Church Slavonic, Russian and Syriac came in contact with Islam and its Holy Scripture. From the Mediterranean lands to Russia via the Balkans, Anatolia and Caucasus, the experience of Eastern Christians with their Muslim neighbors and/or rulers was shaped by diverse multicultural and multiconfessional contexts in which their approach to the Qur’an played a significant role in defining religious identity and the dynamics of communal life.
This international workshop will explore how Eastern Christians engaged with the Qur’an and its Islamic interpretations from the medieval period until the end of the eighteenth century. Bringing together different religious traditions, one of the main scopes of the workshop is to build a platform of discussion between scholars working with source material from Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Georgian, Greek, Church Slavonic, Russian and Syriac contexts, with a focus on how these milieus shaped Eastern Christian responses to Islam and its Holy Scripture.
How did texts on Islam and Qur’an circulate within groups and networks? How did they cross confessional boundaries? Who were their authors and intended audiences? These and similar questions will guide the discussions, and will generate – we hope – new debates for the entangled history and cross-cultural history of the Eastern Christian communities from the medieval to the dawn of modernity.

The symposium, organized in the framework of the Arab Manuscript Day (Alesco), will gather a number of international experts dealing with the traditions of the production of Qur’anic manuscripts over 14 centuries, covering a vast geographical area. Our journey will start in the Arabian Peninsula and will continue through the kingdoms of Africa and the Indian subcontinent, up to the lands of China and the Malay world. Focusing on the periphery of the Islamic World, we aim to contribute to an exciting but less-researched and less popular theme. The symposium’s contributions will be based on the rich inventory of the Library’s manuscripts which will be presented in relation to important, relevant manuscripts from various other collections around the world.

17. CfP Arabic Pasts: Histories and Historiographies deadline Tuesday, 19 April 2022
Co-hosted by the Aga Khan University, Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations and
SOAS, University of London
Aga Khan Centre, London and online
6 to 8 October 2022
This annual exploratory and informal workshop not only offers the opportunity to reflect on history writing in Arabic, but also invites contributors to explore more broadly how people relate to the past. We encourage contributions focused on methodologies, research agendas, and case studies related to Arabic in any region and in any period from the seventh century to the present.
Papers might elucidate questions such as:
How and in which terms do people refer to the past? How and in which terms do they refer to memory? What is the relation between history and memory, and between memory and space? How does the past sit in people’s bodies – and in the body politic?
Through what practices of writing or otherwise encoding the past and of remembering and forgetting, have different groups in the Middle East and North Africa viewed their pasts? At different times and places, was the significant past the same for court historians as for literary historians; for bureaucrats as for the military; for Sufis as for Muslim lawyers and Traditionists?
From what perspective have histories been written and what makes them coherent? How have past events been rendered intelligible? When do particular views of the past start to fall apart? Which categories and boundaries are seen as primordial and which are not? Which beings have been seen as capable of influencing events and when?
How do people connect the/their living and the/their dead conceptually? When are past events really over and when can they be laid to rest? Under which circumstances is the past revived? Why do some past lives or events inspire action and others do not? How does unresolved conflict inform thinking about and using the past?
How did non-Muslims and Muslims, men and women, adherents of different confessional or juristic traditions, or speakers of different languages, within societies that became “Islamic” imagine the shape and meaning of their specific societies’ own pasts, and their relation to the universal history of the Islamic community?
How have urban and rural people, workers and peasants, the religiously educated and the technocratic elite, developed different ways of writing, remembering, or commemorating particular events in, or the broad sweep of, local, national, or “Islamic” history?
In what ways do educational institutions, museums, media organizations and proponents of heritage use history writing in Arabic to shape loyalties and senses of belonging in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe? How do recent discourses in the West shape discussions of history in the Middle East?
How can digital methods now enhance or change our understandings of the past? What additional information and perspectives do they offer? (How) do they limit our understanding? What are practical challenges when we apply digital methods to Arabic history? What seem to be particularly promising approaches?
Contributions are invited from scholars at all career levels, addressing any period and any part of the Middle East and North Africa, broadly defined.
This year we anticipate running the workshop from the Aga Centre in London, with the possibility to have an online component featuring participants who are unable to travel to the UK. As in past years, there is a small budget to provide some travel assistance for scholars outside of London.
Arabic Pasts is co-organized by Hugh Kennedy (SOAS), James McDougall (Oxford), Lorenz Nigst (AKU-ISMC), and Sarah Bowen Savant (AKU-ISMC).
Please submit an abstract of 300 words or less in word document by Tuesday, 19 April 2022 to ArabicPastsConf@aku.edu .
18. “Malcolm X, Islam and the Souls of Black Folk”
A Talk by
Dr. Zain Abdullah
Temple University
Friday, March 25, 2022 | 5:00 PM EST (Zoom)
Malcolm X is one of the 20th century’s most intriguing figures, becoming a standard in Black Studies, street culture and global affairs, with Turkey recently changing its new American embassy’s street to “Malcolm X Avenue.” Still, his deep encounter with religion is routinely ignored. Dr. Zain Abdullah places Malcolm X in the context of Islam and the fight for Black liberation, as both consistently informed his worldview and his struggle to free oppressed peoples.

3. Exhibit & Catalogue on Assyrian letters & archives
A cache of letters received over a hundred years ago forms the basis of an exhibit called “From Qarajalu (Persia) to Santa Clara County: An Assyrian Family’s Multiple Atlantic Crossings in Search of a Home at the turn of the Century.” The focus on the letters written in vernacular neo-Aramaic developed in Urmia, allows an understanding of cultural conditions from 1887 to 1923, a period of great educational and literary advances as well as war and displacement
Location: Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum, Sunnyvale, CA
Dates: April 3 to June 5, 2022 (open Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays)
A Catalogue of the exhibit is available for purchase, the four lectures in conjunction with the exhibit are open to the public and all but one will be in English. The other will be delivered in Assyrian neo-Aramaic, almost mutually intelligible to Aramaic speaking Jews originating from Urmia, Sanandaj and so forth and now mainly living in Israel. This may be one of the few times that scholars and the general public will be able to hear a non-religious presentation in this living but endangered language.

6. Virtual 2-day Conference
Forms and Functions of Islamic Philosophy
with keynote sessions by Dr. Lara Harb
Thursday, March 31, 2022 — Friday, April 1, 2022
Online Event
“Forms and Functions of Islamic Philosophy” seeks to highlight how Islamic philosophy (falsafa/ḥikma) was practiced “in conversation”—between scholars, with various audiences, and with different disciplines, approaches, and rhetoric. Islamic philosophy was composed not only in traditional forms of treatises and commentaries but also through narratives written in poetry and prose. For example, Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī penned a panegyric poem written in Persian in praise of logic, physics, and metaphysics, alongside his many philosophical prose treatises. Ibn al-ʿArabī’s philosophical mysticism includes prose that reads as Aristotelian commentary alongside succinct poems highlighting his key philosophical concepts through mystical metaphors. In reference to Ibn Sīnā’s allegorical treatise, Ibn Tufayl’s famous Ḥayy Ibn Yaqẓān provides an intriguing narrative and philosophical thought experiment. What do story-telling, poetry, narrative, metaphor, and allegory reveal about the nature and purpose of philosophy?
The conference is organized in conjunction with the “Islamic Philosophy in Conversation” working group. The conference aligns itself with the goals of the working group, and therefore seeks to highlight the work of a diverse group of scholars, including emerging scholars of Islamic philosophy, as well as those who identify as female, non-binary, or as belonging to a historically-marginalized group.
