"Conflict Dynamics in Arabic and World Literature" is an international conference that will take place in Cairo, Egypt, between December 7 and 9, 2024. It is in a HYBRID format and is organized by Andromeda Publishing and the Journal of Arabic and World Literature (AWL). The University of New Mexico (UNM), USA, also sponsors it.

 

The conference explores how human history and literature can be seen as a history of conflict that takes many shapes and forms. Conflict can be defined as the incompatibility between the material, psychological and ideological needs, interests and values of a person or a group with those of another. Conflict dynamics allude to the attitudes, perceptions, and elements that shape the course of conflicts, including identity issues, feelings, lack of communication, and contentious politics. Those conflicts are best conveyed, negotiated, and sometimes resolved through narrative. Literary and cultural products convey all kinds of conflict dynamics, whether as power struggles or resolution strategies.
