Since Ramadan has become the “month of musalsalat”, this announcement will probably match with the general “mood”.

The Danish Institute in Damascus, together with Copenhagen University, will be hosting a PHD school entirely dedicated to the “Arab TV fiction and entertainment industries”. The school will be hosted by the Danish Institute in Damascus, a wonderful old Arab house in Old Damascus, from 25 to 30 November 2010. Everybody doing research on musalsalat or any topic related to entertainment is welcome to send a paper proposal. The full announcement can be found on the Danish Institute website or on Copenhagen university website. Deadline for paper proposal submission is 30 September.

The final day will host a seminar entirely dedicated to musalsalat, featuring Syrian and international experts.
