*II Forum of Researchers in Islamic Contexts*
28 and 29 September 2017
CALL FOR PAPERS
The first Forum of Researchers in Islamic Contexts (FRIC) was held in
January 2013. That year, we wanted to survey the studies that were
documenting what appeared to us as a major transformation in the way of
looking at the Arab and Islamic world.
Today, so often in the hustle and bustle of generalizations and
commonplaces, Islam holds a captive place in our mediated and Eurocentric
daily lives.
But the curiosity about Islam, which we perceived to be happening at the
beginning of this decade, seems to have given rise (again?) to mistrust. We
see recurrent misinformed discourses, often conveyed in an essentialist and
objectifying way, giving the motto to the proliferation of Islamophobic and
xenophobic discourses.
Islam is repeatedly projected, directly or indirectly, to the center of
political and societal debates in Europe, as a metonymy that is useful for
fueling the political agenda of the day, as well as the fears and anguish
of a certain Europe perceiving itself in crisis.
The Forum is intended to give an account of the diversity of these contexts
and their themes, in a meeting of scholars who reflect and problematize
about issues related to the Islamic contexts through researches carried out
in Portugal or in other contexts.
We therefore call for proposals of studies from different disciplinary
fields addressing these issues through texts/fieldwork/archives/images that
can contribute to the multiplicity of discourses, practices, histories,
beliefs, daily life and subjectivities that constitute the Islamic contexts.
