ENIS Spring School 2025 ‘ Imagining Futures: Dealing with Disparity
Date: 27 – 30 May 2025
Location:Faculté des sciences humaines et sociales de Tunis
MECAM is pleased to host and co-organize the ENIS Spring School 2025 in collaboration with the European Network for Islamic Studies. This year’s theme, “Imagining Futures: Dealing with Disparity,” aligns with MECAM’s guiding theme.
Objective
The ENIS Spring School 2025 will explore how future visions and societal models are imagined, challenged, and (re)negotiated within Muslim communities. These visions emerge amid global disparities : economic, political, gendered, class-based, and geographical—and are also shaped by diverse religious discourses.
Drawing inspiration from François Hartog’s notion of “Régimes d’historicité” (2003), the program considers the future as a historical construct rooted in both everyday realities and past experiences.
