Dr. Ahmed Shalabi from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Al-Ahliyya Amman University participated in the Erasmus+ international academic mobility program through an academic visit to Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, as part of strengthening academic and cultural cooperation between higher education institutions.
During the visit, Dr. Shalabi met with a number of academics and faculty members at the Hungarian university, where they discussed ways to enhance cooperation between the two universities in the fields of teaching, scientific research, and academic and cultural exchange, in addition to exploring future opportunities to build academic and research partnerships that contribute to expanding horizons of cooperation with European educational institutions.
Dr. Shalabi also delivered an academic lecture titled "Occidentalism Revisited: Insights from Contemporary Anglophone Arab Diasporic Literature"
(Occidentalism Revisited: Insights from Contemporary Anglophone Arab Diasporic Literature)
The lecture addressed the concept of Occidentalism and representations of the West in contemporary Arab literature written in English, focusing on the experiences of Arab writers in the diaspora, and how the experiences of migration, asylum, and alienation have contributed to reshaping the image of the West in contemporary Anglophone Arab literature.
The lecture witnessed academic interaction and discussion regarding the intersections between literature, post-colonial studies, migration, and cultural identity.
