Séance du mardi 19 janvier 2021 (CEFREPA)
Rather counter-intuitively, the Corona crisis has somewhat had the effect of relegating religious discourses in the Arabian Peninsula. Indeed, over the course of 2020, states have imposed policies that primarily built their legitimacy on science, technicity and nationalism, often also leading to a momentary suspension of public religious practices due to sanitary concerns. While religious discourse in the Peninsula has been the object of surprisingly little academic or expert knowledge over the last year, the
purpose of this session is to analyze the persistence and deployment of speeches on the pandemic coming from a wide range of Islamic actors.
Religion has indeed appeared as a conduit, albeit certainly not a central one, either to support or criticize public policies or even highlight an allegedly fabricated nature of the Corona virus. Such discourses will be analyzed focusing in particular on the Yemeni case study.

Français de Recherche de la Péninsule Arabique (CEFREPA),
currently a guest researcher at the Omani Studies Center of Sultan
Qaboos University in Muscat. He has wri-en extensively on political and religious movements in the Arabian
Peninsula and is the editor-in-chief of Arabian Humanities journal.
