About the event

Visiting Lecturer Professor Henry Diab
Title: "How fiction can help us better understand the relationship between the Arabs and the West"

Contact between Arab cultures and the West, whether through colonial encounters, romance or education, is a theme taken up by many Arab authors. Such contact entails many problems, such as questions of political administration and ideology, colonial ‘civilisation’, intercultural relationships and traditional Islam in conflict with secularism. Sometimes, writers choose to portray these encounters in a positive light and create a synthesis between the cultures. These representations remind us that fiction can serve as a space of negotiation, where cultural difference becomes both a source of tension and a possibility for dialogue.

This event is organised by the Department of Middle Eastern and Asian Languages and Cultures and the Department of Maltese.
