Research article (journal)Abstract
The Workshop "Media Transitions in the Arab World: Actual and Historical Perspectives on Literature and Culture" took place at the University of Muenster on October 30-31, 2015. It was organized by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Barbara Winckler (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster) and Dr. Teresa Pepe (University of Oslo). The workshop aimed at exploring the relation between media and cultural production in the Arab world from a historical perspective. The papers presented dealt with topics related to the transition from oral to script culture, the spread of print technologies after several centuries of a flourishing manuscript culture and the adoption of digital technologies in recent times. In addition, round table discussions aimed at exploring selected key questions across the centuries. By looking at how media have impacted Arabic culture, the idea was to identify not only transitions and ruptures but also continuities and complementarity of newly emerged and already existing media. http://www.uni-muenster.de/ArabistikIslam/tagungen/workshop_media_transitions.html
