>
> 1) Political Protest, Circulating Norms and the Political Economy of Land
> in South Asia
>
> This project looks into forms of protest against land grabbing and land
> colonization in South Asia. We start from the premise that the political
> economy of land in South Asia forms part of a specific mode of governing
> through a state of exception, in which different forms of property rights
> are contested and negotiated. The project will look into the formation of
> transnational networks (forms of protest) and the transnational
> circulation of norms, ideas and practices (between Asia and Europe) that
> are mobilized to legitimate political protest and uprising or, conversly,
> to justify territorial claims and related political and even military
> interventions by state and non-state actors alike.
>
> 2) Reconfiguring Citizenship in the Arab World
>
> Recent developments in the Arab world have renewed academic interest in
> types of contentious action and patterns of popular mobilization in the
> region. Since the events of the so-called Arab spring, challenging
> authoritarianism and opposing social inequalities in the name of justice,
> dignity and liberty have been effective devices for reclaiming political
> participation. The language of transnational human rights and civil rights
> has been of utmost importance in this context. However, current
> developments in several countries of the region point not only to the
> force of resistance of certain groups and centres of power, but also
> indicate the re-emergence of profound ideological cleavages inside as well
> as outside the state apparatus. What seems to be at stake is the
> relationship between subjects and the state in terms of political
> belonging as well as in terms of access to rights and resources. At the
> same time, the fact that mobilization has been fostered by a multitude of
> communicational tools ranging from personal networks and established
> organizations to new social media and from image politics to artistic
> forms of public expression raises questions as to the role of
> mediatization in political protest. Focusing on the changing course of
> protest and conflict, the project will be devoted to conflicting claims to
> citizenship and to the contested character of its institutionalization.
>
> Questions that could be addressed under this perspective are:
>
> - What is the role played by mediatization in shaping concepts and
> practices of citizenship?
>
> - How is public space used by different actors for the inclusion or
> exclusion of groups and their political demands?
>
> - What are the strategies employed by protesters and the
> authorities to visualize political protest?
>
> - How is citizenship politically and legally re-configured?
>
> According to the disciplinary background of the candidate and the thematic
> focus of the proposal, the PhD project will be assigned to legal studies
> or Islamic / Middle Eastern studies. Projects with a focus on gender are
> especially encouraged.
>
