“In Paradise, there are no stories, because there are no journeys. It's loss and regret and misery and yearning that drive the story forward, along its twisted road.” Margaret Atwood
-Human history can be seen as a history of conflict that takes many shapes and forms. Conflict can be defined as the incompatibility between the material, psychological and ideological needs, interests and values of a person or a group with those of another. Conflict dynamics allude to the attitudes, perceptions and elements that shape the course of conflicts, including identity issues, feelings, lack of communication, and contentious politics. Those conflicts are best conveyed, negotiated and at times resolved through narrative. Literary and cultural products convey all kinds of conflict dynamics, whether in the form of power struggles or resolution strategies.
You are invited to submit abstracts on, but not limited to, one of the topics below. Initial proposals must include: authorship, affiliation, contact info, title and an abstract of between 200 and 250 words and 3 to 5 keywords.
Deadline for Registration and Fee Payment: October 15th, 2024
"ما أقبحَ الإنسانَ يقتل جارَه ... ويقول هذي سُنَّةُ العمرانِ" إيليا أبو ماضي.
كانت الصراعات عبر التاريخ دائمًا نتاجًا لسلسلة معقدة من الأحداث، وتشابك في المصالح والتحالفات. ويمكن أن يكون الصراع شخصيًا؛ نتيجة للأهواء والمنافع الخاصة، أو أن يكون عامًا يذهب ضحيته الآلاف؛ نتيجة لسوء التقدير وتعارض المصالح على المستوى الوطني أو الإثني أو الجماعي. وتشير دينامية الصراع إلى العوامل والمواقف والتصورات التي تشكل مسار الصراع، بما في ذلك قضايا الهوية، والمشاعر، وعدم القدرة على التواصل، والسياسات المثيرة للخلاف. ويبقى الأدب خير معبر عن دينامية الصراع، ومحاولات البشر للوصول لحلول له.
نتشرف بدعوة سيادتكم لإرسال ملخصاتكم للاشتراك في المؤتمر، على ألا يزيد على 200-250 كلمة، مع إرسال الاسم واللقب والجامعة أو المؤسسة التابع لها و3-5 كلمات مفتاحية.
