  The Levant and the Mediterranean

  Technè, n°59, 2025-1

  At the crossroads of the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean, the Levant has always been a multicultural area, a zone of contact between Asia, Africa and Europe. Since the 19^th century, archaeological digs have been revealing the archaeology and history of this region. This issue of Technè reflects the changes and challenges facing archaeology in this region, and highlights the contribution of a multidisciplinary approach to the knowledge and preservation of the Levant's heritage, from the Neolithic period to the end of the Middle Ages.

  Le fait national au Moyen-Orient : la Jordanie comme cas d’étude

  Depuis 2011, on constate un regain d’intérêt pour le terrain jordanien ou l’objet “Jordanie” au sein de la recherche en sciences sociales sur et au Moyen-Orient1, en particulier par de jeunes chercheurs travaillant sur cet espace national avec des perspectives disciplinaires variées. Cet engouement pour l’étude de la Jordanie s’explique notamment par la fermeture d’autres terrains, comme la Syrie voisine, et par la multiplication des centres d’enseignement de la langue arabe à Amman au cours des années 2010, attirant de jeunes étudiants pris d’intérêt pour le pays et sa société. Ces nouvelles recherches viennent compléter une littérature déjà riche portant principalement sur les questions tribales, migratoires, urbaines et religieuses. En faisant du “fait national jordanien” le point d’entrée des contributions de ce numéro spécial de la Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, nous proposons à la fois de renouveler les questionnements de recherche sur la Jordanie, et d’en faire un observatoire des dynamiques sociales contemporaines au Moyen-Orient.

  Créations artistiques arabes ou réinvention du concept de l’engagement

  Les artistes arabes, dont la réception de leur œuvre est souvent réduite à tort à une interprétation politique et à la lutte contre les oppressions politico-sociales, ont toujours osé et osent encore déconstruire le concept d’engagement, ne s’intéressant pas seulement à des sujets strictement arabes ni à des thématiques exclusivement politiques et collectives mais proposant des œuvres innovantes, tantôt plus intimes et subjectives, tantôt plus universelles sur des sujets concernant l’humanité entière et reflétant des enjeux sociétaux ou citoyens mondiaux, comme les défis environnementaux et la gestion des ressources naturelles, les pandémies, les concepts philosophiques, politiques et esthétiques, les enjeux et objectifs de la culture, la mise en question de la (post-)modernité, et toutes les questions qui animent le monde. Ainsi, les œuvres engagées visent-elles à la fois la reconnaissance d’une valeur esthétique d’une part et la dénonciation d’une situation, la critique d’une opinion ou la défense d’une cause, dans le contexte de revendication de la liberté d’expression, d’autre part.

  From the Grand Tour to Orient-Express: curiosity, exploration, sociability

  In this colloquium, we propose to study how the travelers crossing the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean, between the “Grand Tour en Orient” and the Orient-Express, were able to apprehend these countries, their inhabitants, and their past. Our aim is to explore the social representations of travelers, as well as those of the populations they visited. Without limiting ourselves to reproducing the classic schemes for understanding these discourses, indebted to Edward Saïd, we shall historicize, contextualize and define these ambivalent perceptions according to the geopolitical considerations, ideological orientations, and personal affinities of those who produced these discourses.

  Greeks in the Archaic Age: Institutions, Interactions, Traditions

  Τ Ε Κ Μ Η Ρ Ι Α, 1

  Τ Ε Κ Μ Η Ρ Ι Α, 1 is a Study Meeting born from the desire of young researchers to create a space for exchange, dialogue, and discussion in the wake of interdisciplinarity. The initiative dedicates its first new meeting to the memory of Clara Talamo, who recently passed away. For this reason, the Call proposes the development of themes to which the Scholar was particularly sensitive, and which have connoted the research directions of the Chair. The subject of Τ Ε Κ Μ Η Ρ Ι Α, 1 will therefore be Greeks in the Archaic Age: Institutions, Interactions, Traditions.

  Mediterranean Diasporas

  Settlements of Religious Minorities in Exile (16th-18th centuries)

  The monographic issue will deal with the settlements of religious minorities in their Mediterranean places of exile during the Early Modern Period. We intend to draw on two thematic issues: a colonization project, spontaneous or planned, not necessarily successful, but a testing ground of social coexistence between denizens of different origins which offers opportunities for the visibility of migrants, despite religious divergences; the mechanisms of negotiation between refugees and local authorities that favor settlements in urban or rural settings. The case studies that we are looking for will tie different religious ethnic groups (Christians, Jews, and Muslims, at least), geographic spaces (with the idea of a broad Mediterranean), and centuries (16^th-18^th).

  What future for Theater in the Arab World?

  Practices, movements and perspectives in the perpetuation of Theater production in the Arab World

  The ephemeral dimension of Theater is often considered as an obstacle for a pertinent account of past representations, hence the difficulty of writing the history of a practice when we cannot consider every moment of its creative process. We cannot also apprehend clearly its future. However, even if it does not pretend to predict the future, this call for papers wishes to question the long-term effects and the procedures that contribute to the perpetuation of Theatrical currents and productions in the Arab World.

  History of prehistory in Palestine – Israel

  International workshop

  Our workshop aims to shed light on the various actors and institutions who shaped the field of prehistory from the 19^th century until our days. They will allow us to grasp the establishment and development of prehistoric international and local networks on the longue durée. We encourage participants to address the socio-political and cultural contexts in which prehistory was practiced and knowledge produced. Many answers to the above questions and topics of research may be uncovered in personal, institutional, and administrative archives, while others are revealed in excavation reports. This brings us to the last section of our workshop: what sources for the history of Prehistory and how can they be used? Has the writing of a renewed history of the discipline affected today’s research and how?

  Intimacies under Tension from, and In, the Arab-Muslim Worlds

  Since the advent of the affective turn, when the humanities and social sciences began to pay increased attention to the objectification of emotions, studies on the “intimate” have increased exponentially. As an analytical category, intimacy allows to question dominant and normative visions of the private and the public spheres, and to understand how they are reproduced, challenged, and/or transgressed. Intimacy can therefore be considered as a political process. By encouraging the exploration of new methods of field research, this issue of L’Année du Maghreb is also opening up to “alternative” forms of ethnographic restitution.

  Screening Crime in the Arab World

  This conference will focus on Arab crime films and TV series, by which are meant, broadly, works of fiction centering on crimes, criminals and criminal investigations (by law enforcement agencies or ordinary citizens), from the beginning of Arab cinema to the present. The aim of the conference is to study these crime dramas in their historical contexts of production and reception and to reflect on the multiple dimensions – narrative, cultural, social, legal, political, etc. – of crime and, where appropriate, of criminal investigations in Arab movies/shows.

  Whither the Spiritual? Rethinking Secularism’s Legacy in post-Ottoman Art

  This dossier examines—and challenges—the implications of art history’s secular tilt—what Shaw has called an over-reliance on “Christian-based ideas of visuality” - on the study of modern and contemporary art from the Middle East. It aims to consider what new explorations in this field can offer for rethinking both art history and spirituality’s relationship to empirical argument and experience as cornerstones of modernity in a western modality.

  From one crisis to another: politics, Russia-Ukraine war, Covid-19 and the future of tourism

  Post Crisis Tourism: Resilience, Transformation, or Evolution?

  The covid-19 pandemic has plummeted the tourism sector into a serious and unprecedented crisis. For the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) the covid-19 pandemic is «by far the most serious crisis that international tourism has faced since records began (1950) [...] The impact will be felt to varying degrees in different regions of the world." In the first three months of 2020, the tourism industry lost $80 billion, and several million jobs are at risk. As we begin to talk about decontamination, Global tourism may be facing a new challenge: the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. From soaring oil prices to sanctions, declining tourist numbers, etc., the escalating conflict in Ukraine will have an impact on tourism. Thus, after the coronavirus crisis, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is becoming a new challenge for the tourism sector. Several questions arise that we would like to explore. Rather than adopting a developmental approach, we propose to adopt a reflexive approach instead. The expected contributions will combine empirical work and theoretical reflections and can be anchored in a variety of disciplinary fields in the humanities and social sciences.

  Commitment in the face of disorder and tumult in contemporary Arab society

  LiCArC journal - the journal of contemporary Arab literature and culture

  Le numéro 10 de la revue LiCarC, revue de littérature et de culture arabes contemporaines, publiera des contributions sur l’engagement face aux désordres et tumultes dans la société arabe contemporaine. Du dernier quart du XX^e siècle à aujourd’hui, les sociétés arabes n’ont de cesse de provoquer des crises puis de lutter pour les surmonter, se réformer, s’adapter et se réinventer, tantôt en s’inspirant des traditions les mieux ancrées, tantôt en empruntant des éléments exogènes, tantôt enfin en créant et innovant, par déformation, dénaturation, travestissement, caricature, ou parodie. L’inventivité et la créativité dont font preuve romanciers, poètes, artistes ou anonymes mobilisés pour défendre la liberté ou lutter contre toute forme de discrimination ou de dictature confèrent à l’engagement critique dans le monde arabe une réelle efficacité, souvent redoutée, parfois jusqu’à la censure

  Jews of the Arab world, why did they leave?

  Dans la seconde moitié du XX^e siècle, la quasi-totalité des populations juives ont quitté le monde arabe, dans un contexte de bouleversements entraînés notamment par la destruction des juifs d’Europe, la création de l’État d’Israël, la décolonisation et les guerres israélo-arabes. Les causes et les circonstances de ces émigrations, complexes et très diverses selon les pays, restent mal connues, mal comprises, et donnent lieu à des instrumentalisations de tous bords. Ce colloque se propose de rouvrir le dossier du départ des juifs du monde arabe dans une perspective comparatiste et ouverte aux spécialistes internationaux, à distance des usages politiques de l’histoire, pour dresser un état des lieux des connaissances sur la question.

  Theological disputes between Ašʿarīs and Ḥanbalīs and their representations from the 11th/5th century to contemporary Wahhabi-Salafism

  Ḥanbalism and Ašʿarism have been for more than a century represented as two inherently antagonistic theological schools. “Literalist”, “fideist” and “traditionalist”, Ḥanbalism is said to be the uncompromising opponent of rationalist currents. Contemporary Wahhabi-Salafism is perceived itself as a legitimate heir to this doctrine and a modern replica of this struggle. However, several academic studies are shaking up this reading grid and leading to a revision of our certainties by renewing our approaches. Through this international conference, we hope to give them more visibility, to question our representations of Ašʿarism, Ḥanbalism and the contemporary currents that claim to be the later in order to renew our understanding of theological quarrels.
