Schedule of conference proceedings
La conférence se tiendra du 10 au 12 juin 2026 à l'université Carlos III de Madrid. Réunissant des universitaires, des artistes et des praticiens, elle explorera les questions cruciales qui façonnent le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique du Nord, notamment l'héritage impérial, la Palestine, la production culturelle, l'économie politique, le genre, les migrations et les technologies émergentes. Pendant trois jours, le programme proposera des tables rondes en parallèle, des discours liminaires et des projections de films qui favoriseront le dialogue interdisciplinaire et transnational. La conférence rendra également hommage à l'héritage intellectuel de Tareq et Jacqueline Ismaël à travers plusieurs sessions qui leur seront consacrées.
