Mezinárodní konferenci pořádanou v rámci Strategie AV21
Talking About Arabs: Echoes from Different Europes
Kdy: 27.–28.5.2016
Kde: Akademie věd, Národní 3, místnost 206
The immigration emergency, the Cologne attacks and other reports on the Arab populations in
Europe generate commentaries across the continent. The concentration of generally unwelcoming
attitudes towards Middle Eastern newcomers in Central and Eastern Europe is seen by some as the
evidence of ‘a split of mentalities’ between the ‘old Europe’ and its ex-communist states. The aim
of the conference is to analyze these all-too-easy dichotomies by looking into how concretely
knowledge on the Middle East is produced in the East and West of the European Union. On the basis
of concrete empirical studies, conducted in different European countries and from diverse
disciplinary perspectives, this conference seeks to investigate the nexus between three different
fields of knowledge production and diffusion in today’s Europe: media, academic/intellectual and
policy-making. The goal is to examine the ways in which different scholarly traditions,
journalistic cultures and political interest (or disinterest) affect knowledge on the Middle East
in different parts of Europe.
Akce (v angličtině bez tlumočení) je určena studentům a odborné veřejnosti.
