Aula Árabe Universitaria 3.1. : Re-imagining the Arabs: Literature and social contracts

Publicado el 23 de septiembre 2021
Casa Árabe is bringing back its program Aula Árabe Universitaria, in a third edition planned for the academic year of 2021/22. This will also be the official opening session of the UAM’s Master’s Degree program in Contemporary Arab and Islamic Studies. The event will be held in a hybrid format, with one of the speakers participating remotely. Trapped amid tradition and post-modernity, contemporary Arab identity has been misinterpreted and misrepresented. The political landscape of all societies has undergone profound change in recent decades, and the Middle East and North Africa region has not been spared from the world’s transformations either. Despite the promise of events in 2011, the momentum for progress in governance and freedom has broken down violently, and political stagnation has been revived. The elusive nature of globalization, coupled with the unstructured environment of political life, has arguably given way to “liquid times” (Zygmunt Bauman), exacerbated by an emerging “age of anger” (Pankaj Mishra). As a result, many are crying out for a rethinking of the concepts and cognitive frameworks used to narrate the individual human experience and humankind’s joint history. How can Arab societies re-imagine themselves and take ownership of their histories? Novelist Fadia Faqir explored the limits of patriarchy and the voices of women writers, while Amro Ali has been reflecting on karama (dignity) and the social contract in her latest essay. Casa Árabe, with the cooperation of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Foundation and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), is organizing this round table discussion, which at the same time will serve as the official opening session of this new edition of Aula Árabe Universitaria (third edition) and the Master’s degree program in Arab and Islamic Studies at the UAM. Taking part will be Nieves Paradela, a professor of Arab Studies at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid; Thomas Volk, director of the regional program “Dialogue with the Southern Mediterranean” of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, and Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe’s International Relations Coordinator. Fadia Faqir authored "Nisanit", "Pillar of Salt", "My Name is Salma / The Cry of the Dove" and "Willow Trees Don’t Weep". Her work has been translated into fifteen languages and published in 19 countries. The foreword to her fourth novel, "At the Midnight Kitchen", was published in Weber Studies, and won its fiction award in 2009. Her short story “Under the Cypress Tree” was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize in 2010. She was the director of the Master’s degree program in Gender Studies - Arab World at Durham University’s Centre for Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies until 2004. Her academic writings focus on gender, democracy and Islam, as well as violence against women. She is a writing fellow at Durham University’s St Aidan’s College, where she teaches creative writing. She is also one of the founders of The Banipal Visiting Writer Fellowship, initiator of the Alta’ir Exchange between Durham and Jordan, and a trustee of the Durham Palestine Educational Trust. Amro Ali is a researcher with the Forum transregionale Studien (EUME) and the Berlin Graduate School of Muslim Cultures and Societies at the Free University of Berlin, as well as a member of the Young Arab-German Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Prior to that, he was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the American University in Cairo (AUC), an Associate of the Sydney Democracy Network, and a Visiting Fellow at the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung /Berlin Center for Social Sciences, WZB). He holds a PhD from the University of Sydney, an MA in Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies and an MA in Diplomacy from the Australian National University. His fields of research include Arab public spheres, Mediterranean Studies, contemporary Alexandria, intellectual history, cities, citizenship, exile, technological modernity, sociological philosophy and political philosophy, with a focus on Hannah Arendt, Václav Havel and Byung-Chul Han.

    Aula Árabe 3.17. Quo Vadis, Lebanon?

    Next Tuesday, April 5, this conference will be held at Casa Árabe’s headquarters in Madrid and on our YouTube channel (in Spanish and English). It will be given by Karim Bitar, a researcher at the Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques and is taking part within the framework of the Aula Árabe Universitaria program. Going from bad to worse, Lebanon has been plunged into one crisis after another since 2020: from the financial sector, due to major depreciation by the Lebanese pound and hyperinflation, to the weakened humanitarian aid sector. Added to the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic was the devastating explosion in the port of Beirut, which killed 250 people and wiped out important port infrastructures. With the current war in Ukraine, the wheat imports on which the Lebanese depend to survive will most likely lead to a rise in hunger rates. Over half of the country has fallen below the poverty line, and 20% live in extreme poverty. The parliamentary elections to be held on May 15, 2022 are viewed as anopportunity to respond to the year 2019 protests, which demanded an end to ruleby the political elites who have run the country since the end of the civil war andsunk it into the current state of crisis. Despite the people’s protests, however, thereligious party-based regime has resisted yielding power and continues its fight toremain in place. Observers warn of high levels of corruption and manipulation in an atmosphere of chaos and illegitimacy, exacerbated by international pressures not to postpone the election. Within this context, the likelihood of a post-election debacle resulting in major difficulties is very high. This session of Aula Árabe Universitaria is being held with the cooperation of the Master’s degree program in Political Science and Public Affairs at Saint Louis University’s Madrid campus. The event will be presented by Barah Mikaïl, director of the Political Science and International Relations program at Saint Louis University, and moderated by Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe’s International Relations Coordinator. Karim Bitar is a researcher at the Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques (IRIS) in Paris and editor of the French monthly magazine L’ENA hors les murs. He is an associate member of the Geneva Center for Security Policy (GCSP) and an associate researcher at the Institut Medea in Brussels. He is a professor of International Relations and History of Political Thought at several universities. He also frequently testifies before the Foreign Affairs Committees of the French and European Parliaments. He has authored various chapters and articles in Le Monde diplomatique, Libération, Le Monde, Informed Comment, Atlantico, La Vanguardia, An Nahar, L’Orient-Le Jour, etc., as well as editing and co-writing the collective book Regards sur la France, in which 30 personages from around the world analyze France’s strengths and weaknesses.

    Aula Árabe 3.17. ¿Quo vadis, Líbano?

    El próximo martes 5 de abril tendrá lugar en la sede de Casa Árabe de Madrid y también a través de nuestro canal de Youtube, la conferencia enmarcada dentro del programa Aula Árabe Universitaria a cargo de Karim Bitar, investigador del Institut de Reclations Internationales et Stratégiques. De mal en peor. Desde 2020, el Líbano se ha visto inmerso en una crisis tras otra: desde el sector financiero con una gran depreciación de la libra libanesa e hiperinflación, hasta el debilitado sector humanitario. A los estragos de la pandemia COVID-19 se sumó la devastadora explosión en el puerto de Beirut, que acabó con la vida de 250 personas y arrasó con importantes infraestructuras portuarias. Con la actual guerra en Ucrania, las importaciones de trigo de las que dependen los libaneses auguran una aceleración de la curva del hambre. Más de la mitad del país se encuentra debajo del umbral de la pobreza y un 20% en extrema pobreza. Las elecciones parlamentarias que se celebrarán el 15 de mayo de 2022 se presentan como una oportunidad para responder a las protestas del 2019, en las que ya se exigía el fin del gobierno de unas élites políticas que gobiernan el país desde que terminó la guerra civil y que lo han llevado al estado de crisis actual. A pesar de las protestas ciudadanas, el régimen de los partidos confesionales no ha cedido y puja por su permanencia. Los observadores advierten sobre los altos niveles de corrupción y manipulación en una atmósfera de caos e ilegitimidad, agudizada por las presiones internacionales para no posponer la cita con las urnas. En este contexto, las probabilidades para una debacle poselectoral de consecuencias graves son muy elevadas. Esta sesión de Aula Árabe Universitaria se realiza en colaboración con el Máster en Political Science and Public Affairs de la Universidad Saint-Louis, campus de Madrid. El acto será presentado por Barah Mikaïl, director de dicho máster en la Universidad Saint-Louis, y moderado por Karim Hauser, coordinador de Relaciones Internacionales de Casa Árabe. Karim Bitar es investigador del Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques (IRIS) de París y editor de la revista mensual francesa L’ENA hors les murs. Es miembro asociado del Geneva Center for Security Policy (GCSP) e investigador asociado del Institut Medea de Bruselas. Ejerce como profesor en el área de Relaciones Internacionales, así como de Historia del Pensamiento Político en diferentes universidades. Asimismo, testifica frecuentemente ante las comisiones de Asuntos Exteriores de los parlamentos francés y europeo. Es autor de diferentes capítulos y artículos en Le Monde diplomatique, Libération, Le Monde, Informed Comment, Atlantico, La Vanguardia, An Nahar, L’Orient-Le Jour, etc. También editó y coescribió el libro colectivo Regards sur la France, en el que 30 personalidades mundiales analizan las fortalezas y debilidades de Francia. El Máster en Political Science and Public Affairs de la Universidad Saint Louis en el campus de Madrid está especializado en relaciones internacionales y crisis con el objetivo de familiarizarte con las dimensiones teóricas, políticas y sociales claves de la gobernanza global de la inseguridad y la aparición, gestión y consecuencias de las crisis en la actualidad. Entre su currículo académico se encuentra el aprendizaje sobre la teoría de las Relaciones Internacionales, la Unión Europea y los desafíos contemporáneos internacionales entre otros. Además, ofrece varias asignaturas optativas tales como política americana; política ambiental y formulación de políticas; y economía política internacional en tiempos de crisis; entre otras.

    Aula Árabe 3.16. Post-Petroleum Museum and soft power, between crisis and “second life”

    On Monday 28 March, the sixteenth conference of the Aula Árabe Universitaria programme will take place in Madrid, given by the art curator Morad Montazami. The session will also be available on Casa Árabe's Youtube channel in Spanish and English. After the invasion of Iraq by the United States and its allies, the National Museum of Iraq was looted in 2003. In the ensuing chaos, over fifteen thousand items were stolen from Baghdad's collections of ancient artefacts, not even counting pieces pilfered from archaeological sites in the vicinity. 16 years after the theft, more than half the loot has since been tracked down, recovered and returned to the museum's collection, where the items can now be viewed by the Iraqi public. The first photographs of the damage show Iraq's pre-Islamic cosmopolitan heritage (Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian etc.) reduced to dust and ashes. In enlightening contrast, the “digitized” version of Mesopotamia and pre-Islamic arts at the Louvre Abu Dhabi represents a reenacting mirror of that archaeological heritage. Crossing the looks of archaeologists, 3D engineers, as well as the customs agents who contributed in recovering the objects, how can we account for soft power museums and nomadic collections in this critical context ? The curator, editor and art historian Morad Montazami will be giving this conference, organised by Casa Árabe in collaboration with the Degree in History of Art and the Master's Degree in History of Spanish Art, UCM. Presented by Susana Calvo, lecturer in History of Art at the university. Moderated by Nuria Medina, Casa Árabe's Cultural Programmes Coordinator. Morad Montazami is an art historian, a publisher and a curator. As director of the platform Zamân Books & Curating, he is committed to transnational studies of Arab, Asian and African modernities. He published several essays on artists such as Zineb Sedira, Walid Raad, Latif al-Ani, Bahman Mohassess, Michael Rakowitz, Éric Baudelaire... He was a curator for Bagdad Mon Amour, Institut des cultures d’Islam, Paris, 2018; New Waves: Mohamed Melehi and the Casablanca Art School, The Mosaic Rooms, London; MACAAL, Marrakech; Alserkal Foundation, Dubai, 2019-2020; Monaco-Alexandria.

    Aula Árabe 3.16. Museos y poder blando tras el petróleo, entre la crisis y una “segunda vida”

    El lunes 28 de marzo tendrá lugar en Madrid la decimosexta conferencia del programa Aula Árabe Universitaria, a cargo del comisario de arte Morad Montazami. La sesión podrá verse también en el canal de Casa Árabe en Youtube en español y en inglés. En 2003, tras la invasión de Iraq por parte de Estados Unidos y sus aliados, el Museo Nacional de Iraq fue saqueado. En el caos que siguió a la invasión, se robaron más de quince mil piezas de las colecciones de artefactos antiguos de Bagdad, sin contar los objetos sustraídos de los yacimientos arqueológicos de los alrededores. Dieciséis años después del robo, más de la mitad del botín fue localizado, recuperado y devuelto a la colección del museo, donde los objetos pueden ser vistos en la actualidad por el público iraquí. Las primeras fotografías de los daños muestran el cosmopolita patrimonio preislámico iraquí (sumerio, asirio, babilónico, etc.) reducido a polvo y cenizas. En un contraste esclarecedor, la versión "digitalizada" de lo que era Mesopotamia y las artes preislámicas que ofrece el Louvre de Abu Dhabi representa un espejo recreador de ese patrimonio arqueológico. Cruzando las miradas de los arqueólogos, los ingenieros de 3D, así como los agentes de aduanas que contribuyeron a recuperar los objetos, ¿cómo podemos dar cuenta del poder blando de los museos y las colecciones nómadas en este contexto crítico? El comisario, editor e historiador de arte Morad Montazami ofrecerá la conferencia "Museos y poder blando tras el petróleo, entre la crisis y una “segunda vida”: Del Museo Nacional Iraquí de Bagdad al Louvre de Abu Dhabi", organizada por Casa Árabe en colaboración con el Grado de Historia del Arte y el Máster en Historia del Arte Español, UCM.

    Aula Árabe 3.15. Skin in the Game: Being a local Middle Eastern woman journalist

    On Monday, March 14, we will be hosting a new session of the Aula Árabe Universitaria program at Casa Árabe’s headquarters, to be given by Syrian journalist Zaina Erhaim. The activity, which forms part of Casa Árabe’s Women’s Week, can be watched live on YouTube. Being a freelance journalist in the Middle East and North Africa is a dangerous job,especially when considering the degree of impunity that exists in the region. But being a woman adds several layers of difficulty and many challenges more, including sexism, gender stereotyping and sexual harassment. Female journalists who report on their communities’ issues to the international media cannot escape these challenges or the domestic discrimination they face at home; they must also deal with the post-colonial bias shown by their colleagues and the Western media. Through the experience of Syrian journalist Zeina Erhaim, the issues that hinder the careers and lifelong growth of women journalists in the MENA region will be addressed. The event has been organized with the cooperation of the Dual Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Humanities at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and forms part of the program Aula Árabe Universitaria, as well as the activities forming part of Women’s Week at Casa Árabe. Presented by Leila Nachawati, a professor of Communication at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. The event will be moderated by Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe’s International Relations Coordinator. Zaina Erhaim is an award-winning Syrian journalist who works as a communications and gender expert with some international organizations in the Middle East and North Africa region. She contributed to three books about journalism and women, including Our Women on the Ground. She worked with the IWPR (Institute for War & Peace Reporting ) as a communications manager for eight years. Prior to that, she was a journalist for the BBC. She writes for different media outlets, such as Newslines Magazines, Open Democracy and Al Modon, as well as others. Erhaim holds a Master’s degree in International Journalism from the City University of London.
