The Conference
[1] We have
the honor of announcing the meeting of a conference entitled
“The Literary Production of Melkites in the Pre-Ottoman
Era,” organized jointly by CEDRAC (Centre de
Documentation et de Recherches Arabes Chrétiennes
– USJ) and l’OIB (Orient Institut – Beirut),
from Thursday, January 24 through Saturday, January 26, at the
Convent of Our Lady of the Well (Sayyidat al-Bir, in Matn,
Lebanon).
[2] By
Melkites we intend those who are named, in the contemporary
Arab world, Greek Orthodox or Greek Catholic. By specifying the
Pre-Ottoman period we intend to identify the topic at the heart
of the conference, yet this need not absolutely exclude the
later period. As regards subjects, we will welcome papers on
the various contributions of Melkites, whether secular
(science, medicine, philosophy, history, philology, art, etc.)
or religious (Bible, theology, liturgy, canon law,
spirituality, etc.), both original compositions and
translations. Participants might also present studies on a
manuscript, a work or an author, or analyze the literary
movement of a particular period. In brief, participants are
entirely free to specify their topic. It is expected only that
their paper be an original scholarly contribution.
The Presentations
[3]
Participants will have 30 minutes, including 20 minutes for
their presentation and 10 minutes for discussion. Alternatively
participants might choose to make a brief, 10 minute
discussion, for example to illustrate a new detail or provide a
new report. The recommended languages of the conference are
French and English, but other languages are not necessarily
excluded.
[4] If you
will need special technical equipment for your presentation,
for example to project texts or slides, please inform us about
your exact need by the beginning of January.
[5] All
participants are requested to submit, before January 3, 2008,
an abstract of about ten lines on their paper, either in French
or in English. All of the papers will be gathered in a volume
and published exclusively in the periodical Parole de
l’Orient. The published papers can be more in depth
than the oral presentations. Be sure to have a definitive text
by the date of the conference. Thereafter we will detail the
guidelines of the edition. Authors will receive one copy of the
entire volume and 25 offprints of their article.
Organisation
[6] In order
that we might prepare lodging at Our Lady of the Well and other
organizational details, we request that you inform us of your
participation, and provide the title of your presentation (if
you intend to prresent) by September 15, 2007 at the latest.
Needless to say, the earlier you can do so the better.
[7] The
organizers will cover the cost of lodging (including all meals)
for foreign participants and meals for local participants.
[8] Do not
hesitate to inform any interested parties about this
conference. And kindly respond to us at the following address:
