Often, though not only, formalised under colonial administrations this phenomenon reflected both the increasing adoption of imprisonment as a judicial punishment in penal systems but also in response to emerging mass political movements. Its practice continues to be a widespread feature of contemporary Middle Eastern political life. In this presentation I will discuss the historical development of political imprisonment as a specific state technology that has come to define state repression and the practice of opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">*Please be informed that this event will be conducted as an\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"x_s3\">in-person ONLY<\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">\u00a0gathering<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">To participate, kindly pre-register at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/txuBh1N8oYbiX95f9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/txuBh1N8oYbiX95f9<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">Visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/qatarchair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\"><span class=\"x_s3\">https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/qatarchair<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for event details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">*\u00a0Majlis\u00a0are \u2018sitting places\u2019 where community members gather to discuss and debate events and issues, exchange news, receive guests, socialize and be entertained in Arab societies<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">We look forward to your participation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are delighted to announce that The Chair of the State of Qatar in Islamic Area Studies at Waseda University [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":295,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288\/revisions\/295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/qatarchair\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
