Pandemic of Humanity: Memory, Creativity, and Solidarity
This conference of Pandemic of Humanity: Memory, Creativity, and Solidarity will invite scholars to discuss the current pressing issue on pandemic, such as the on-going Covid-19, and how humanities have responded to address this issue. We argue that the times of pandemic are not always about the gloom and doom. They are also the crucial moments to attest and evaluate how humanity has been progressing (or digressing). From scholarly perspective, the on-going pandemic, we argue, is a momentum to look back to humanities and other related studies and highlight the studies’ relevance to shed light on the complexity of pandemics and their multidimensional impacts. Against this backdrop, this peer review conference welcomes contributions in English and Arabic from all relevant academic disciplines in search of diverse patterns of pandemic of humanity. Our view is that pandemic and humanity are two things that are intertwined to each other. Humanity, humanism, and humanitarianism with all their distinctions, we argue, turned out to be highly crucial in the efforts to deal with pandemics or disasters. By pandemic, we refer to the term as not only dealing with anatomical suffering, but also with nonphysical crisis covering social, political and economic aspects affecting an entire country, continent, or the whole world. This conference aims to explore human’s strivings to save lives against pandemics. They are ranging from digging histories on previous pandemics and the responses, to various recent innovations in medical technologies, transportation, education, religious interpretation and so on. Our objective is also to investigate solidarity or tension among wide-ranging actors that are not limited to government authorities and medical experts, but also broader civil society such as religious leaders and ordinary citizens in responding to pandemics.
