Puppet Shows as a Form of Entertainment in Qajar Iran
Lecture by Rehab Ibrahim elSiedy (Cairo University) as part of the Urban Studies Seminar Urban Spaces of Leisure, Arts and Sports
Entertainment is consid-ered as one of the most important activities in any society. Its several types and methods reflect the different faces of culture of any origin. In the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century puppet shows were a widespread entertainment medium in Qajar Iran. Although the puppet show's history is not very known in Iran, it can be traced back at least to the Safavid period. However, it seems that it was in the Qajar period that this practice and industry was developed. Puppet shows became a famous popular art for all social classes, reflecting many faces of the political, economic and cultural life of that time...

Islam in Berlin – der Faktencheck
Seminar by Nushin Atmaca (ZMO/LIB) and Reinhard Fischer (Regional Centre)
Wer im Alltag beruflich, im Ehrenamt oder in der Nach-barschaft mit Muslimen in Berlin Kontakt hat, sich für das Thema Islam in Berlin interessiert, aber seine Kenntnisse über diese Religion vor allem aus der Nahostberichterstattung der Medien bezieht, ist leicht verunsichert. Was bedeutet es, wenn für Muslime „Scharia“ ein positiver Begriff ist? Wie reagieren Muslime, wenn sie aufgrund ihrer Religions-zugehörigkeit diskriminiert werden? Was können wir zum Abbau von Diskriminierung beitragen?

Call for Papers: Neighborhoods at Times of Change and Crisis
Workshop organized at ZMO (17-18 May 2018)
Closing Date: 31 January 2018
This workshop aims to explore the theme of “neighbors” and “neighborhood” as a departure point to consider space, identity, coexistence, solidarity, and violence, at times of change and crisis in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Neighborhood as an intimate space with blurred yet shared boundaries in the mental-maps of its residents is home to conflicts over space and time. Its histories, material formations, as well as transformations are both indicative and inductive of micro and macro social phenomena...
