Online Seminar Harb al-Basus wa-l-Zir Salim

Dear Udaba’ and Arabists,

We are thrilled to invite you to attend the online Harb alBasus Seminar scheduled for February 17-19, 2023.

The story of the Basus War is a classic topos in Arabic Literature which has generated many versions of itself in numerous genres across the ages of Arabic Culture to this day. We hope to explore this literary constellation in our little seminar.

The seminar is composed of nine papers by scholars from all over the world, spanning ten time zones! Each day of the seminar will have just one two and a half hour session scheduled from 1600 until 1830 UTC with three papers, and time for discussion.
