Topics and case studies of identity conflicts\/formations covered in the seminar will reflect on the social structures, political currents, and economic relations to understand the contemporary Middle East. Our focus will be on the foundational dynamics of ongoing identity conflicts such as making of the modern state in the Middle East, varieties of nationalism, cycles of authoritarianism, and rise and fall of social movements.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79414423 gb-tabs__item\" id=\"gb-tab-item-79414423\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-28db6432 gb-headline-text\">Course Outline<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">You can see and download the course syllabus below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-3120ace5\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/identity-and-conflict-syllabus-W19.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:813px\" aria-label=\"Einbettung von identity-and-conflict-syllabus-W19.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b0ed9c29-9ceb-416b-9c5a-fee25d774b7d\" href=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/identity-and-conflict-syllabus-W19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">identity-and-conflict-syllabus-W19<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-bc3fa32e\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bc3fa32e\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-233f353f\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-e4125b44 gb-headline-text\">Course Details<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b921c8c1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-70b4f9b1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-203abde0\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-203abde0\">\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-7f61003f\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7f61003f\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">27.10.19 &#8211;
