31stExeterGulfConference
After
a six-year retreat, the 31st Exeter Gulf Conference
allowed me to re-engage with the community of researchers on
Yemen, and meet wonderful interlocutors at Exeter's Center for
Gulf Studies.
This team accompanied me at distance over the past few months,
until I could propose an appropriate proposal for the conference.
I wish to extend my warmest thanks to them.
Below
is my powerpoint presentation at the conference :
+ a poster that I prepared earlier, summarizing what constituted my PhD chapters :
I am now working on the theoretical
implications of this story, in conversation with both Yemeni and
Gulf studies.
For those who wish to go deeper in the particular story, I add
previously drafted proposals in extended written form, which did
not fit the format of the conference :
“Islam and the ecology of mind
(version 0)” (informal proposal on 25th-27th
May 2019)
“The
dream that chased
me from Hawdh al-Ashraf”
(first proposal on 30th March 2019, that sticked
too closely to my solitary writing project "scène
primitive").
All this obviously is a work in progress…
