Panel discussion
May 30th, 2024 | Beirut, Lebanon
The first decades of the 21st century have seen the resurgence of “civilization talk” that defines people and nations in terms of their unique civilizational identity and calls for states to refurbish their timeless civilizational glory.
About This Event
This panel focuses on the relationship between war – real or rhetorical – and invocations of civilizational fault lines and conflicts in the Middle East, Europe/Russia and South Asia. Panelists will discuss the rhetoric of civilizational wars, collective memory, historical retrieval and revanchism, and violence as a source of historical justice.
this panel discussion is open to the public!
