Azar Dakwar has participated last May in 3-day scholarly workshop on Antisemitism and Islamophobia at the Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue in Vienna.
There he presented a paper on the conceptual and discursive alterations of the stakes and terms of Frankfurt School critique of antisemitism between the pre-Holocaust and the post-Holocaust times as articulated and advanced by Jürgen Habermas.
The paper probed the extent to which the analytic lens with regard to antisemitism put forth by Habermas is fit for critiquing contemporary forms of identitarian systemic domination such as Islamophobia.
Moreover, Azar alongside his advisor Dr. ALbena Azmanova have wrote a paper for special issue celebrating Habermas’s 90th birthday which will be soon be published in the scholarly periodical European Law Journal.
