AOI-Ringvorlesung: Challenging Powers: Dissent in Asia and the Middle East

This lecture series focuses on discourses and practices of dissent within diverse regions of Asia and the Middle East across various historical contexts. The lectures pose questions on how dissent is articulated and examine the critical issues at stake. Further, they raise questions about the consequences of protest and about the ways in which different power regimes respond and cope with it. By discussing key case studies, the lectures offer in-depth insights into the causes and implications of dissent within various Asian and Middle-Eastern socio-cultural frameworks.
