Nishida Kitaro and Muhammad Abduh: Towards a Theology of Place

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, June 29, 2021 • Duration 21:45

Japanese philosophers of early Showa and late Taisho moved away from Meiji ideals of civilization and enlightenment (bunmei kaika) and by doing so, they transcended the most basic ideas of both modernism and of national salvation. Some of those philosophers developed an explicit philosophical concept of space by transforming a traditional notion of communal space into a sophisticated, processual “time-space development.” Dr. Thorsten Botz-Bornstein finds similar approaches in the work of “Islamic liberalists” of the Arab world that emerged in parallel with the Meiji restoration. The 1870's were the period when national consciousness became articulate in Egypt. In particular, he concentrates on the work of Egyptian religious scholar Muhammad Abduh, whose writings were not only a response to Western imperialism but also an attempt to produce a modern Arab philosophy.

Dr. Thorsten Botz-Bornstein was born in Germany, did his undergraduate studies in Paris, and received a Ph.D. in philosophy from Oxford University in 1993. As a postdoctoral researcher based in Finland, he undertook research for four years on Russian formalism in Russia and the Baltic countries. He received a ‘habilitation’ from the EHESS in Paris in 2000. He has also been researching for three years in Japan on the Kyoto School, and worked for the Center of Cognition of Hangzhou University (China) as well as a at Tuskegee University in Alabama. He is now Associate Professor of philosophy at Gulf University for Science and Technology in Kuwait. He has published 15 authored book, 6 edited books, and 120 articles and book chapters.

L'influence de la littérature arabe sur la littérature occidentale du Moyen Age

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, March 18, 2021 • Duration 31:12

Il serait difficile d’aborder la littérature occidentale du Moyen Age en omettant toutes les influences qui ont permis à cette littérature d’exister. Aucune écriture ne se faisant ex nihilo, les faits historiques, les Croisades, les voyages et les mouvances géopolitiques ont fait que les mixages ont pu être possibles à cette époque. Les influences se font ressentir dans les écrits qui nous sont parvenus de part et d’autre. Elles offrent au lecteur contemporain comme un air de déjà vu.

Les influences sont légion. Celles dont nous proposons de parler sont les influences arabes sur cette littérature occidentale qui prend vie, en langue vernaculaire, à partir du XIIè siècle chrétien. Nous nous pencherons sur certains romans célèbres dont le cycle arthurien qui va de Chrétien de Troyes aux mises en prose de ses romans et en comparant ses techniques d’écriture à celles de certains auteurs arabes du Moyen Age".

Sana Sassi est enseignante chercheuse rattachée au CEFREPA. Diplômée de l'université de la Sorbonne, son doctorat ainsi que ses recherches portent principalement sur la littérature française du Moyen Âge. Elle est entre autres l'auteure du livre "Les réécritures des romans de Chrétien dans les proses des 13è, 14è et 15è siecles" publié aux éditions l'Harmattan à Paris.

New insights on the Late Antique/Early Medieval food history of the Gulf: Inside the kitchens of the Al-Qusur’ monastery

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, December 10, 2020 • Duration 24:21

By Rémi Perrogon, Ph.D. student in archaeology at Aix-Marseille University and CEFAS

Following the French-Kuwaiti archaeological campaigns between 2011 and 2019, new elements have been brought to light on the matter of the “cuisine” history of the Gulf. The excavations carried out on the Al-Qusur’ monastery uncovered a quite unique food-processing building with no parallels within the area. Beyond the description of the monk’s diet, this presentation should provide new insights on the cultural aspects of food-consumption in the Gulf, economic links with foreign lands in pre-Islamic and Islamic times and the influences of ancient heritages in the medieval cookery. At the margins of the Sassanid empire, then of the Abbasid Caliphate, the archaeological and ceramic study of the Al-Qusur settlement provide numerous information on the rural world, his economy, and his participation to a complex network of exchanges. Through the study of food and cookery, we will try to explain how an isolated settlement nonetheless take part of the organised commercial roads of its time.
