AAU 3.12 The niqab ban in the Netherlands: What does this have to do with security?

Publicado el 11 de febrero 2022
As part of Aula Árabe Universitaria, the anthropologist and professor emeritus of Contemporary Muslim Societies with the University of Amsterdam’s Department of Anthropology, Annelies Moors, will be giving this conference. It is taking place in Madrid on February 17 and will be shown live on our YouTube channel. The Netherlands’ ban on face coverings is a clear example of the gender-based racial profiling of Muslims in Europe. To justify the ban, politicians pointed to the face veil as a form of gender oppression, security threat and barrier to integration, thus blurring the lines between ethical stances, and affective and aesthetic sensitivities. Quite to the contrary, the versions told by women who cover their faces, largely ignored, emphasized the positive religious value of the veil as a symbol of faith, pointing out that the ban constitutes a violation of their freedom of religion, expression and movement by the state. At this conference, the result of a collaborative effort by Casa Árabe and the Master’s degree in Advanced Studies on Islam in Contemporary European Society at the UCM, Annelies Moors will be exploring how “security” has come to the forefront of public debate, impacting the everyday experiences of veiled women, while also pointing to the more mainstream trend referred to as the “securitization” of Muslims. The event will be presented by Laura Mijares, a professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid’s Department of Linguistics and Oriental Studies, and will include an initial reaction by Johanna Lems, a Margarita Salas post-doctoral researcher at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The event will be moderated by Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe’s International Relations Coordinator. Annelies Moors is an anthropologist and professor emeritus of Contemporary Muslim Societies with the University of Amsterdam’s Department of Anthropology. She has completed extensive field work on the Middle East (Palestine and Yemen) and Europe (The Netherlands), as well as having had many articles published about Muslim family law and everyday life, Islamic fashion and anti-fashion, the use of facial veils, the use of gold and migrant domestic workers, as well as on Muslim marriages and ethics in research and ethnography. Her main theoretical interests at present revolve around gender-based racial profiling, ethnography under surveillance, the materiality and corporeality of Islam in Europe, and the politics of private relationships in Palestine. Master’s degree in Advanced Studies on Islam in Contemporary European Society (UCM) The main purpose of this Master’s degree program is to analyze the different social, political, economic, legal, religious and other factors affecting contemporary Islam as a minority religion in the European Union. Though based on the close relationship between migration and the formation and consolidation of Muslim minorities, studying these minorities also means taking into account all of the potential peculiarities in a local European form of Islam. It is an inter-school and interdepartmental Master’s degree with an mainly multidisciplinary approach which attempts to offer a specialized, in-depth education on European Islam from the vantage points of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, the history of thought, and the field of Arab and Islamic Studies.

    Presentación de "Al-Tanki, tras las huellas de una mujer iraquí"

    Casa Árabe y Ediciones del Oriente y del Mediterráneo presentan, el miércoles 1 de junio en Madrid, la obra más reciente de Alia Mamduh. El acto contará con la autora del libro Alia Mamduh, quien estará acompañada de su traductor y prologuista Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán, profesor de Estudios Árabes e Islámicos de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Esta sinfonía desconcertante de voces narrativas dispares nos arrastra en la búsqueda de Afaf, la pintora iraquí cuyas huellas se pierden en París. La escritora iraquí afincada en Francia desde hace décadas lleva tiempo experimentando con el idioma árabe, tratando de generar un modo peculiar de expresar su experiencia vital como mujer árabe exiliada que vuelve una y otra vez, paradójicamente, a su país natal. Escribiendo sobre la violencia, las dictaduras y las invasiones que la obligaron a marcharse; sobre la marginación que siguen sufriendo las mujeres en las ciudades y pueblos de Iraq a la sombra del poder omnímodo ejercido por el hombre, el padre, el hermano mayor o el gran líder militar, civil y religioso; o sobre la represión de las libertades básicas, empezando por la de expresión y terminando por la sexual. Todo ello aflora desde la primera página de este pormenorizado relato en torno a una familia iraquí y la calle donde se desenvuelven sus miembros, a despecho de un Bagdad que decae, lánguidamente… (de la presentación de Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán) La novedad editorial Al-Tanki se complementa con la reedición de la novela anterior de Alia Mamduh, Naftalina, también publicada por Ediciones del Oriente y el Mediterráneo en el año 2000, en la que ya aparece su juego de sutileza, acidez y distorsión lingüística que a la vez confunde y descubre la experiencia trágica de millones de iraquíes forzados a dejar su tierra.

    II Jornada de Sensibilización: la convivencia intercultural, un reto en positivo

    Casa Árabe acoge, el jueves 26 de mayo en Madrid, esta jornada organizada por la Fundación Ibn Battuta. En los últimos años, el repunte de ideologías xenófobas y las secuelas de la crisis económica han generado situaciones de segregación y repunte de actitudes racistas en muchos barrios de Madrid. De cara a prevenir y/o evitar conflictos de carácter racista y xenófobo, la Fundación Ibn Battuta promueve acciones que permitan impulsar e inspirar la cohesión social, la integración y la convivencia. Se trata de fomentar espacios de debate e interacción, en los que se pretende avanzar desde los diagnósticos de dificultades, al intercambio de experiencias y de propuestas positivas, donde la diversidad es una fuente de riqueza y de retos estimulantes que permiten a las sociedades maduras y democráticas crecer en un contexto de ciudadanía global. La Jornada de Sensibilización se desarrollará como un espacio de participación ciudadana, cuyo objetivo es visibilizar experiencias de empoderamiento intercultural desde diferentes ámbitos, propuestas para una sociedad intercultural no solo desde el plano académico, sino de la mano de acciones reales que ya se han puesto en marcha desde los servicios públicos. Para registrarse basta con cumplimentar el siguiente formulario. Participan Bárbara Ruiz-Bejarano, directora de Relaciones Internacionales de Instituto Halal y directora de Escuela Halal; Maysoun Douas Maadi, doctora en Física, experta en innovación y cofundadora de Excellenting; y Mohamed Lemrini, experto en Comunicación. Modera Mohamed Said Ribbi Khalifi, coordinador de juventudes de la Fundación Ibn Batuta Madrid.

    Nakba 74: a continuing catastrophe

    On Monday, May 23, Yara Hawari and Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal will be discussing the fragmentation of Palestinian society, its resistance and the role played by the international community, along with other issues, in Madrid. The month of May marks a significant point in the history of the Middle East. Seventy-four years ago, on May 15, 1948, the State of Israel declared independence over more than 80 percent of historic Palestine. Some 800,000 Palestinians were expelled in the process, while more than 400 Palestinian towns and cities were destroyed. This trauma is known as the Nakba (Arabic for "catastrophe"), but Palestinians also refer to al-Nakba al mustamirrah, the "continuing Nakba": beyond a historical event, it is an ongoing process of dispossession and ethnic cleansing. Palestinians, numbering some 14 million worldwide, remain in a situation dominated by colonialism and apartheid, where they are denied both their past and their future and where their present seems to condemn them to perpetual waiting. Understanding the current reality of the Palestinian people requires a nuanced view that takes into account both its historical and conjunctural dimensions and is able to connect its recent events with its historical context. In this round table, Yara Hawari and Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal will address, from different perspectives, the fragmentation of Palestinian society, its resistance, the role of the international community and the importance of shared transnational struggles. The event will also include the presentation of the book Palestine: Occupation, colonization, segregation by Domínguez de Olazábal, published by Catarata. Karim Hauser, Casa Árabe's International Relations Coordinator, will moderate the event. Yara Hawari is a senior analyst at Al-Shabaka: The Palestine Policy Network. She completed her PhD in Middle East Politics at the University of Exeter in 2017, where she taught several undergraduate courses and remains an honorary research fellow. In addition to her academic work, which focused on indigenous studies and oral history, she is a frequent political commentator writing for several media outlets, including The Guardian, Foreign Policy, and Al Jazeera English. She is the host of the podcast Rethinking Palestine and in December 2021 published her first novel, The Stone House. Itxaso Domínguez de Olazábal is coordinator of the Middle East and North Africa Panel at Fundación Alternativas and associate professor in International Studies at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. She has worked, among other projects, as a researcher at the London office of The U.S./Middle East Project, as well as at the European Parliament and the Delegation of the European Union in Egypt. She collaborates with several media, such as Público and El Periódico. She holds a PhD in Arab and Islamic Studies from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and is a researcher at TEIM (Taller de Estudios Internacionales Mediterráneos) at the same university.
