media majlis museum Podcast

Welcome to the media majlis museum Podcast powered by afikra, a series where we explore the intersection of language, culture, and identity, inspired by the exhibition "The limits of my language are the limits of my world" at the media majlis museum at Northwestern University in Qatar. The media majlis museum at Northwestern University in Qatar is the first media museum in the Arab world. It is dedicated to exploring journalism, communication and media. Through exhibitions, publications, programs and online resources we engage with themes that connect audiences to an ever-changing media landscape. The mm:museum's exhibition space uses digital technologies to challenge standard narratives and provide 360-degree views on global, regional and local stories, aspiring to represent the diversity of voices, perspectives, events and people that contributes to the evolving media world that surrounds and affects us all. In season one, we dive into the Arabic language — a language spoken by over 400 million people but that’s constantly evolving under the pressures of globalization. Through engaging conversations with experts, artists, and cultural figures, we explore how Arabic unites and divides, empowers and limits, and how its complexity influences the cultural landscape of the Arab world and beyond. Join us as we uncover the rich history, politics, and nuances of Arabic, revealing the stories behind its words, its impact on global cultures, and the challenges it faces today. Whether you're a native speaker or simply curious about the power of language, this podcast offers a unique perspective on the ongoing journey to preserve and celebrate one of the world's most influential languages.

    Accepting Linguistic Variety in Publishing Arabic | Enam Al-Wer and Omar Thawabeh

    We organized a full-day symposium (October 26, 2024) with the mm:museum as part of their exhibition "The limits of my language are the limits of my world" at Northwestern Qatar this year. Three panel discussions took place which we are bringing you in three episodes on their podcast. This is the last one in the three in which we explore the history and vernaculars of Arabic, the state of Arabic publishing, and the role of translation in it all. Host Layan Abdul Shakoor highlights the challenges of publishing practices and guests Dr Enam Al-Wer and Omar Thawabeh share (respectively) their insights on linguistic variations and evolutions, and on the intricacies of translating between Arabic dialects. The panel also addresses the need for re-standardization of Arabic, overcoming barriers in the publishing industry, and fostering a love for the Arabic language among younger generations.

    Teaching Arabic As a Second Language | Muntasir Al Hamad

    Muntasir Al Hamad joins us on the media majlis museum podcast to talk about teaching Arabic as a second language. We talk about designing language, teaching curricula, and working with students of different native languages, while tackling the nuances of amiyya, fasiha and fusha. We get some of the local flavor that dialects offer us through language, and take a look at a 600-year-old manuscript from Ottoman Turkey that addresses learning Arabic as a non-native speaker.

    When Did Arabic Start | Ahmad Al-Jallad

    Classical Arabic, MSA, and Fusha — all names that the Arabic language goes by. This conversation with Professor Ahmad Al-Jallad takes us through the origins and evolution of the Arabic language. Tracing back to the pre-Islamic and Nabatean Aramaic history through to the modern day, this episode is for grammar-nerds and Arabic speakers alike. We learn about where Arabic "came" from, what it means to define a language, and how it remained so stable despite instability in the region.

    The Limits of My Language Are the Limits of My World | Amal Ali

    How does language affect the way we see the world? This is the question that the upcoming exhibition at the Media Majlis Museum "The limits of my language are the limits of my world" seeks to address. For the first episode of this podcast powered by afikra, we sat down with Amal Ali, curatorial exhibition manager at Northwestern University Qatar, to dig deeper into what this exhibition is all about. We talk about the relationship between language and identity, the unique nature of Arabic as a language with many dialects, and how its perception impacts its speakers. We also learn about how borrowed and loanwords in language point to cultural gaps and imbalanced exchanges through history — with the word for "orange" in Arabic being a prime example.
