Multidisciplinary doctoral seminar 2021-2022: "Rereading the classical heritage".

This is a monthly seminar held on the first Friday of the month from 4:30pm to 7:00pm. Some dates are arranged to suit the university calendar.
Seminar location: 2, rue de Lille, Paris 7th.

Parting from the idea that the watertight divisions of fields of knowledge prevalent in modernity are of limited relevance when it comes to medieval Arabic culture, this doctoral seminar, led by members of the CERMOM research axis of the same name, sets out to show how and why fruitful work on the different discourses of this culture, without denying or erasing the specificity of each discourse, presupposes, however, that we situate ourselves at a point prior to the distinction between ethics, aesthetics and theology + prior also to the separation between different domains that are held to be distinct such as adab, grammar or philology, rhetoric or poetics, theology (kâlâm), the juridico-religious sphere of fiqh, philosophical thought, etc.

The seminar is open to any PhD student whose object of study is a classical text in Arabic. It is also open to M2 students, who can validate it under code ARA5A02I. It is also open to any M1 or L3 student who would like to learn more about classical culture. The assessment of registered students is based on their oral presentation in the seminar, a presentation of which they will also submit a written version to the two directors.
