Conference of the Circle of Researchers on the Middle East : “Arab Worlds through the lens of emotions”

10th Annual Conference of the CCMO

This conference invites specialists from different disciplines and from different countries in the region to take stock of current research, in a context where current emotional events are particularly charged. The aim is to explore the way in which emotions are deployed, circulated, regulated or instrumentalised, at a time when their digital expression is playing a decisive role in understanding and representing contemporary conflicts. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers who analyse emotions from both a theoretical and a methodological perspective, focusing on their relational dimension – taking into account the circulation and confrontations between individuals, groups and institutions – and on their material, temporal and spatial roots. The aim of the conference is to provide a multidisciplinary account of the way in which emotions are increasingly invading contemporary research, and to bring together papers focusing on three specific areas of the social – the intimate, the political and the digital – which are considered in dialogue rather than in isolation.
