This interdisciplinary international conference will be a basis for an edited collection to be published in the Warwick Humanities Series with Routledge. It seeks to explore literary, visual, artistic, political, social, online, translational, and Sufi responses of contemporary Arab women to multiple forms of patriarchy and oppression within Arab societies. It examines how forms of violence and discrimination intersect and reinforce each other. It brings together scholars, writers, artists, filmmakers, translators, and activists who reflect upon, analyse, and celebrate the diverse works of contemporary Arab women revolutionaries, who have played immense roles in challenging prevailing patriarchal notions of gender, identity, colonisation, war, translation, and Sufism from the 1970s onwards. By offering nuanced, culturally grounded insights into the radical traditions and feminist thought of contemporary Arab women from multiple angles, this interdisciplinary event makes a valuable contribution to expanding understandings, challenging stereotypes, and inspiring meaningful dialogue and social change in Arab society and beyond.
