The Lebanese University - Doctoral School of Literature, Humanities & Social Sciences and the Arab Language and Literature research team organized the first critique conference entitled "Modern Arab Critique between Theorization and Establishment", with the participation of professors from Syria, Iraq and Iran, and a number of doctoral students.

The Doctoral School Dean, Dr. Muhammad Mohsen, delivered a speech in which he hoped that this meeting would form a nucleus for the establishment of an Arab scientific critique with scientific origins and standards.

Then, he summarized the conference objectives by seeking to activate the mechanisms of Arab critical thinking, to liberate it from abuse and commodification, and to establish a modern critique with mechanisms capable of understanding the specificity of the Arabic text and liberating it from the authority of ready-made curricula.

The three conference sessions welcomed professors from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran, and discussed modern Arab critique, its originality and modernity, critical awareness, founding principles and controversial binaries, among others.
