Recapturing the Research Enterprise as a Collective Responsibility
Drawing on the essays in this volume of Dædalus, as well as remena (Research Ethics in the Middle East and North Africa) workshops and meetings over the last several years, we reflect on what constitutes responsible social inquiry. We present the context for a “call to action” for universities, foundations, and other funders, publishers, and researchers. Through procedural, professional, and political recommendations, we offer guidance to address…
The University & Middle East Studies
To illuminate the context within which the rest of the contributions of this volume are located, we provide a historical perspective on the development of “Middle East studies” in the modern university. Arguing that this history reflects both the varied and rarely congruent political contexts and the converging institutional evolution of universities globally, we examine how the study of the Middle East and North Africa illustrates an uneasy tens…
Contextualizing the Contextualizers
As part of recent years’ efforts at reaching a more context- and diversity-sensitive study of international relations, the nexus between fields of IR and Area Studies (AS) has received a renewed attention. While AS is usually presented as the “contextualizer” of the disciplines, this forum reverses the perspective by suggesting that an awareness of both diversity and context is also relevant when it comes to understanding the evolution of the fie…
Zeynel Abidin Besleney The Circassian Diaspora in Turkey
This ambitious work is a welcome addition to the small but growing English-language literature on Circassians, whether in their historical homeland of the North Caucasus or in different locations of the diaspora that formed as a result of mass migrations into the Ottoman Empire in the mid-to late nineteenth century.Currently, the Circassian diaspora spreads over Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Israel as well as Europe and the United States (resulting …

'Aqalliyya /Minority in Modern Egyptian Discourse
Historical Processes of Identity Formation
This article examines how the historical experience of displacement and resettlement shapes key notions of identity and self-representation among Circassians in Jordan. Circassians, one of the peoples of the North-West Caucasus arrived in the Ottoman Empire in large waves of migration in the late 19th century and were settled as agricultural communities in different provinces of the empire. The experience of settlement, the types of settlements f…

Pensée 2
Although it may be too early to determine whether the events of 9/11 will significantly transform key questions and analytic approaches driving research and teaching in the field of Middle East studies (MES), we can say with certainty that 9/11 has dramatically affected the political and institutional environments within which this research and teaching takes place in the United States. Thus, “impact” or “change” must be evaluated across three di…

Prehistories of Globalization
Circassian Encounters
Diasporas are an increasingly important phenomenon in the 'era of globalization'. Transnational networks structure and restructure economic exchanges, familial bonds, cultural identities and political mobilization. This article examines one such diaspora, which traces its origin to the North Caucasus, the Circassians. The break-up of the Soviet Union has enabled some people to journey back to their 'homeland' and even take up residence there once…
Anthropological Approaches to the Arab Family
INTRODUCTION In this paper we draw attention to a number of methodological and conceptual issues related to study of Arab Our focus is on anthropological approaches. We choose this focus, not so much to consolidate disciplinary boundaries but to emphasize usefulness of a holistic understanding of social unit identified in society as the family. One of our concerns is to determine to what degree exhibits a specificity peculiar to Arab region. Whil…
Gender, domestic space, and urban upgrading
This article examines an urban upgrading project in two squatter areas in Amman. Through the project, the state asserted its control of every part of women's lives, addressing most aspects of private and public life in the targeted communities. Women responded by using the powerful language and symbols of domesticity and femininity in successfully dealing with public agencies and personnel to turn the project to their advantage
Disjuncture in Ethnicity
Theorizing about nationalism must now incorporate phenomena brought about by the break-up of the Soviet Union, the disintegration of formerly socialist states and the emergence of so-called “ethno-nationalisms”. Previously, nationalism was mostly addressed in terms of modernization, nation-building and post-colonialism. In these interpretations, the presence of a modernizing state was a given, although the success or failure of these states in mo…

Displacement, Historical Memory, and Identity
n recent years, anthropologists have become increasingly interested in 3 understanding the impact of individual and group mobility upon identity (Gupta and Ferguson, 1992;Malkki, 1992).The scale of mobility in the contemporary world may be a characteristic of modernity, but group displacement is a longstanding historical phenomenon.This paper explores the implications of displacement for identity formation as a historical process.The case of the …

The Social Implications of Population Displacement and Resettlement
Involuntary migration is broadly defined as displacement due to development projects, due to war or political upheaval or persecution, or due to natural disasters. The Middle East is considered as having its share of displacement. Migration of an involuntary nature is not covered very well in the literature. This article focuses on Sudanese or Nubian experiences, the Lebanese civil war, the Palestinian diaspora, and relief efforts. The literature…

The Social Implications of Population Displacement and Resettlement in the Middle East
Recent decades have witnessed a global increase in the collective displace? ment of populations as a result of natural disasters, wars and development projects. While the importance of the issue of displacement and its corollary process, that of resettlement, has been noted by governmental and nongov? ernmental agencies around the world, as well as by international bodies, the social implications of such movements are not yet fully explored, nor …
