Sent: 22.10.09 16:56:24 SOCIETY FOR LEBANESE SCHOLARSHIP AND AAG MIDDLE EAST SPECIALITY GROUP ANNOUNCE: Call for Papers: AAG Annual Meeting, Washington D.C., April 14-18, 2010 Session Title: “Mapping Lebanon: Historical/Contemporary Geographies of State and Society” Organizer: Kevin M. DeJesus, York University (kdejesus@yorku.ca) Session Chair: Dr. John A. Agnew, UCLA Session Discussant: Dr. Benjamin Smith, Florida International University Session Précis: This panel session brings together scholars whose research centers geographic approaches to Lebanon’s state and society, in historical and contemporary perspective. Lebanon’s colonial/anti-colonial/post-colonial history and circumstance continues to be a rich source for understanding the dynamics of the Middle East. Moreover, continued political dilemmas plaguing the country’s tenuous present, renders the Lebanon an important focus for scholarly inquiry concerning the phenomenology of violently divided societies and post-conflict possibilities. This panel seeks contributions engaging an historical, cultural, political, socio-economic and gender studies frame of analysis, across historical time. We therefore encourage contributions which draw from the broad scope of topics concerning historical/contemporary Lebanon, situated within the context of the country’s complex relationship to the broader Middle East. Possible topics for paper presentations may include, but are not restricted to: *Ancient Lebanon *Historiographic contest for Lebanese History *Urban/Built Historical Lebanon *Sectarianism and Imperial/Colonial Process *Silk Industry *Lebanese Migration and Diaspora *Refugees and Refugee Camps in Lebanon *Gender, State and Politics in a Confessional Society *Post-Colonial Contentious Politics in Place: Lebanese Elections *Lebanon and the Israel-Palestine Conflict *Remembrance & Forgetting: Post-Civil War Places *Intercommunal Geographies: Mapping Co-Existence and Inter-Sectarian Spaces *Citizen Spaces and Non-Violence/Civil Society Activism *Tenuous co-existence: State /Non-State Actors and the Lebanon Case Please send your paper abstract and registration PIN to Kevin DeJesus, kdejesus@yorku.ca, with “AAG Lebanon Session” noted in your e-mail subject line. Kindly ensure to submit your abstract by Friday, October 25, 2009. We may add an additional panel session, and thus appreciate hearing from you as soon as your schedule permits.
