Zoltan Somhegyi

IICAHDubai2016

Featured Speaker

University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
Dr. Zoltan Somhegyi is a Hungarian art historian, teacher and writer;currently teaching at the College of Fine Arts and Design, Universityof Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. As a researcher of Art History andAesthetics and with a Ph.D. dissertation on German Romanticism,
he is a specialist in the art and art theory of the 18th and 19th
centuries. Besides classical arts, his other areas of interest include
contemporary fine arts and art market trends, with a special focus on
the arts of the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA)region. He has curated exhibitions in six countries, participated ininternational art projects and regularly lectures on art and aesthetics.
Since its foundation he has collaborated with Art Market Budapest– International Contemporary Art Fair and he is the Website
Editor and a Delegate-at-Large of the International Association for
Aesthetics. He is the author of books, artist catalogues, and more than
200 articles, critiques, essays and art fair reviews.

Featured Presentation: Aesthetic Re-elaborations in
the MENASA Region and Central Asia
What are the aesthetic possibilities that walls can have? As dominantand significant – often literally unavoidable and uncircumventable –architectural elements can both separate and unify, they can serve as obstacle and defence. Since the earliest times
walls inspired artists to decorate and embellish them or, just the contrary, to try to open or to destroy them, or evenif physically destroying them was impossible, at least to somehow open them on an imaginary level through the very
force of art.
Within this context, this contribution explores some examples from leading contemporary artists originating from
the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA region) and from Central Asia in order to illustrate how
the very phenomenon of walls, as well as many topics deriving from it, including separation, division, limitation of freemovement, or even repression, can inspire, influence and shape works of art and even artists’ entire oeuvres. This
exploration provides a deeper understanding of how the different aspects and issues of art, social engagement andcultural memory are interconnected and how these can be analyzed through high-quality and aesthetically efficient
contemporary artworks that depart from the experience of walls.

Featured Presentation: Visual Arts: Conceptualizing JusticeSince the dawn of the civilization, the abstract conception of Justice, this moral correctness based upon the application of
fairness, ethics, equity, rationality and law, has been conceptualized by artists throughout the centuries.
The ancient Egyptians visualized the scales for fairness. The Greeks introduced the goddesses, Themis and Dike, and the
Romans, Lady Justice, as protectors of the divine law. These deities were conceptualized, depicted and equipped with three
items: a sword (representing power in the court), scales (to weigh the objective standards) and a blindfold (representing
impartial justice).
Moreover, from ancient times until today, a great number of paintings, reliefs and sculptures in marble and bronze have been
produced and placed in courthouses.

Featured Speaker

He was awarded Special Honor by His Excellency the Governor of W. Australia Dr. Ken Michael in 2010 at the launch inPerth of the book Kastellorizo: My Odyssey – illustrated by Dr Alexiou (52 oil paintings).

collections and museums including at Vorres Museum, Greece, Hellenic
Nobel Museum, Greece, St John’s Monastery, Greece, Municipality
Museum, Italy, Dorsten Cathedral, Germany, Kailis Collection in Australia.

In corrupted societies, popular figures (e.g. Robin Hood, Zorro, Superman, etc.) offered justice. These legendary figures
have been broadly conceptualized through comics, movies, murals, paintings and various items.
Additionally, courts presiding over justice or victims of injustice are frequently depicted by artists (e.g. numerous paintingsand murals are dedicated to victims who suffered the injustice of Sacco and Vanzetti, US, 1927).

Featured Presentation: Cyber Security Awareness: Challenges and Solutions
Security awareness is an often-overlooked factor in an information security program. While organizations expand theiruse of advanced security technology and continuously train their security professionals, little is used to increase thesecurity awareness among normal users, making them the weakest link in any organization. As a result, today, organizedcyber criminals are putting significant efforts in to research and develop advanced hacking methods that can be used
to steal money and information from the general public. In this talk, the latest cyber threats against human users will
be examined. Who is behind them and why? How can the security awareness among users by assessed? The results ofseveral security awareness studies conducted among students and professionals in UAE will be shared and finally, someof the best and most recent practices to spread cyber security awareness will be discussed.

Fatima Badry

American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

The spread of English around the world is sometimes viewed as an extension of imperialism at the linguistic levelthat is progressively threatening the survival of national languages and authentic identities across the world. For
example, Phillipson argues that “[g]lobalization introduces a single world culture centered on consumerism, mass
media, Americana, and the English language.” Others, however, point out that globalization can lead to local culturesand modes of production appropriating the global by transforming, molding, and blending it into the local to resultin “glocalization” (Robertson, 1992). Many researchers have emphasized that in the cultural arena anyway, “culturalforms are hybrid, mixed, impure,” (Said, 1994, cited in Kraidy, 2005, p. 70), a hybridization and creolization giving rise
to “countless new combinations and blurring distinctions between nations and between civilizations” (Scholte, 2000,
p. 24). The result is new cultural forms “of meaning, identity and community.” Therefore, categorizing people into fixedgroups is no longer possible due to the porous and ambiguous nature of geographic, cultural, and social boundaries
under globalization.
This presentation focuses on the impact of “Global English” on the definition of authentic cultural and linguistic
identity of the young generations of Arabs living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Based on a survey of University
Arab students, I examine the impact of the use of English in education and in everyday life on young Arabs’ sense of
belonging to ‘Arabness’ and explore the relation between the Arabic language and Arab identity.

Featured Speaker

Featured Presentation: A Just Place for Arabic in the Arab Identities of the Global 21st Century

IICAHDubai2016

Dr. Fatima Badry holds a Ph.D. from the University of California at
Berkeley, USA. She is currently a Professor of English and linguistics and
MA TESOL coordinator at the Department of English at the American
University of Sharjah in the UAE. Professor Badry has had an extensive
international teaching and administrative experience in higher educationin the US and the Arab world. Since she joined AUS as a founding
faculty member, she has served as head of the department of English
and as graduate programs director at the College of Arts and Sciences.
Her research interests are in the areas of first and second language
acquisition, globalisation and higher education, Arabic sociolinguistics,
bilingualism and cultural identity. Her most recent publications on Arabic/
English acquisition and teaching include: Badry, F & Willoughby, J. (2016).
Higher Education Revolutions in the Gulf: Globalisation and Institutional
Viability. London: Routledge. UAE Bilingual education: Searching for anelusive balance. In Mehisto. P., Genesee, F. (2015). (eds). Building Bilingual
Education Systems: Forces, mechanisms and counterweights. Cambridge
University Press: Cambridge. Education in the UAE: Local Identity andGlobal Development. In Essentials of School Education in the UAE. Abu
Dhabi, UAE: (2012). ECSSR publications. Appropriating English: Languages
in identity construction in the UAE. In A. Al Issa and L. Dahan (eds.). (2011).
Global English and Arabic: Issues of language, culture, and identity in the Arab
World. Bern: Switzerland: Peter Lang. 81-122.

The results suggest that despite the UAE leadership’s strong motivation and substantial investments in education
reforms, the goals of preserving authentic Arab identity partly through bilingual education in Arabic and English remain
elusive. A focus on pragmatism when it comes to language-in-education policy has resulted in Arabic, the national
language, occupying a disadvantaged position which has relegated it to the status of a heritage language. It is concluded
that although idealized notions of cultural and linguistic purity need to be reevaluated, the interplay between several
sociocultural, global and linguistic factors must be considered in education planning to achieve the stated goals ofdeveloping Arabic to become the language of knowledge production and the future.

Arabic (2004).

Conference Chair Presentation: Translation as Culture
This contribution examines the culture of translation in the translation of culture. As the par excellence site for intercultural
encounters, translation, particularly between civilizationally and power-unequally related cultures, demonstrates the needfor an interface of translation, cultural and discourse studies to analyze the complex processes inherent in translating acrosscultures. The complex processes stem from the fact that translation involves the carrying-over of specific socio-cultural
input (texts as cultural goods) to and recuperated by specific target reading constituencies. These constituencies have attheir disposal an established system of representation with its own norms for the production and consumption of meanings(as texts) vis-à-vis self, other, objects, and events. This system stands-for a particular master discourse through which cultural
identity, similarity and difference are identified, negotiated, accepted and/or resisted. Drawing on translation from Arabic,
the contribution explores how constraints and disciplinary demands of a socio-culturally defined master discourse affecttranslation.

Keynote Presentation: Professionalizing Your English Language Teaching
Being a teaching professional is not simply about having the right teaching credentials and being in good academic
standing, it involves a commitment to being innovative and transformative in the classroom and helping both students
and colleagues achieve their goals. A dictionary definition of professionalism reads as follows: professionalism is the
conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person; and it defines a profession asa calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation (Merriam-Webster, 2013).
However, according to Bowman (2013), professionalism is less a matter of what professionals actually do and morea matter of who they are as human beings. Both of these views imply that professionalism encompasses a number ofdifferent attributes, and, together, these attributes identify and define a professional.

ABOUT IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activitiesof the academic world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum
existed because of the lack of opportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the
global business community, and practitioners in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In
the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists, educational managers (political decision-makers andorganisational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT, library work, exchange programmes,and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritise in the 21st
century? What do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well-being? How can people on the
ground, trying to implement improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all,what are the agendas that will drive mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition thatsome of the rhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term
“poverty” because it can be defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate
and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could
be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in some contexts, while flood management might benecessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they help to relieve hunger in
specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Kansai, Japan’s great commercial andmanufacturing hub, one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic
zone. Our conferences present those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, theyencourage interdisciplinary activity to be expanded. Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty,
ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those overly dependent on fixed academic structures often
see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its purpose is to generate new approaches
that cross any disciplinary lines.The principle employed is to let the imagination permit intuitive responses to questions.
There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model of academic work
as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through crosscultural perception. Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realise or admit. The
need to see and internalise insights gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a world, but in reality parochialism
still holds sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous
former countries. While this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural
confusion. Exchange leads to explanation and that helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist
conferences. We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to theextreme tendencies that can arise from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting
and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to one of the core issues of our time, namely globalisation and its many
forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts across the worlds of business, and academia, along with its
impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given the organisation its momentum, and ismaking it a pioneer in this global age.
