CoordinatorsMaho Sebiane (EHESS-CEFAS)Sterenn Le Maguer-Gillon (CEFAS)&#160;Marion Breteau (CEFAS)Presentation&#8220;Developing the future vision (Oman 2040) with mastery and high precision in light of broad societal consensus and with the participation of all segments of society. The vision should be relevant to the socio-economic context and objectively foresee the future, to be recognized as a guide and key reference for planning activities in the next two decades.&#8221;Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Royal Directive of December 22, 2013After a relative economic seclusion and, as it were, no asphalt roads, schools and hospitals during the first half of the 20th century, the Sultanate of Oman began a long march for development from the 1970s onwards (e.g. Wilkinson 1987; Le Cour Grandmaison 2000; Dumortier &#38; Lavergne 2002). It has experienced a formidable "renaissance" (nahda) through major infrastructure and urbanization projects (e.g. Townsend 1977; Plekhanov 2004; Wippel 2013a, Von Richthofen 2016). This opening to the outside world and to a modern economy has propelled the country into an unprecedented economic and societal revolution (e.g. Peterson 1978; Skeet 1992). This nation-state testifies today to an in-depth transformation of a multiple society, while attempting to combine historical heritage and modernization taken as the foundation of a strong identity in the Gulf region and beyond (e.g. Valeri 2007; Pappas 2015). Given its geographical location as a strategic and economic crossroads, this country participates, in the management of the Gulf's access routes to the Indian Ocean along with the Strait of Hormuz (e.g. Villiers 1969; Mery 2000; Nicollini 2004; Agius 2005). It establishes an undeniable historical and cultural junction between the Arab world of West Asia, East Africa and the Indian world at the beginning of the 21st century.&#160;&#160;The Oman Vision 2040 thus appears as a turning point in the recent history of this nation. If it is in continuity with the &#8220;renaissance&#8221; initiated by the sultan Qaboos Bin Said (1940 &#8211; 2020) on November 18th, 1974, it also suggests a substantial paradigm shift. Indeed, this project is defined as a &#8220;gateway&#8221; to overcome the challenges of worldwide changes that the new generation of the Sultanate&#8217;s citizens has to confront; to stimulate growth; and to promotes economic competitiveness and social well-being. Thus, introduced as a &#8220;reinforcement&#8221; for the sustainable development, this vision for the future prefigures transformations that will involve new changes in society. A page in Oman's long history is turning, a new one is opening out.This issue of Arabian Humanities proposes to make a multidisciplinary inventory of the Sultanate of Oman contemporary period by bringing together old and recent research works. They may relate as much to its history as to the great social and cultural changes that have crossed its society. It is about exploring the different aspects that can be observed today and which contribute to a better understanding of this country over time. What were the major stages of national construction and this economic and cultural "renaissance" in the light of its past history? In what ways the development of this geographic and human territory is articulated? How has Omani society, in all its diversity, contributed to this contemporary transformation? And how does this society look at its past?The proposed articles are invited to explore the historical, anthropological, sociological and cultural dimension through the Oman Vision 2040 themes which, without being exclusive, can be associated and articulated in their words: The cultural dimension of a "creative" society - A nation state in "sustainable development" - Natural resources and environmental protection - The modernization of "the responsible state". The articles may also focus on Oman narratives. It will be a question of exploring the historical development of commercial and cultural relations between Arabia, Indian Ocean and beyond from Antiquity to our days, their insertion in the collective representations, and their projections in the national narrative of the multiple constituent elements of contemporary Omani culture. Therein, the dynamics of archaeological programs, the increase in the number of thematic museums and all kinds of festivals over the past three decades, testify to the great interest carried by the Omani State on the heritage of the nation and the commitment of citizens in its valuation.Submission GuidelinesArticles can be written in Arabic, English, or French.

La vision doit &#234;tre adapt&#233;e au contexte socio-&#233;conomique et pr&#233;voir objectivement l&#8217;avenir, pour &#234;tre reconnue comme un guide et une r&#233;f&#233;rence cl&#233; pour les activit&#233;s de planification au cours des deux prochaines d&#233;cennies.&#8201;&#187;Le Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Directive royale du 22&#160;d&#233;cembre 2013Apr&#232;s un relatif isolement &#233;conomique et pour ainsi dire sans routes asphalt&#233;es, d&#8217;&#233;coles et d&#8217;h&#244;pitaux durant la premi&#232;re moiti&#233; du XXe&#160;s., le Sultanat d&#8217;Oman a entam&#233;, &#224; partir des ann&#233;es soixante-dix, une longue marche pour le d&#233;veloppement (ex&#160;: Wilkinson 1987&#160;; Le Cour Grandmaison 2000&#160;; Dumortier &#38; Lavergne 2002). Il a connu une formidable &#171;&#8201;renaissance&#8201;&#187; (nahda) au travers de grands travaux d&#8217;infrastructures et d&#8217;urbanisations (ex&#160;: Townsend 1977&#160;; Plekhanov 2004&#160;; Wippel 2013a&#160;; Von Richthofen 2016). Cette ouverture au monde ext&#233;rieur et &#224; une &#233;conomie moderne l&#8217;a propuls&#233; dans une r&#233;volution &#233;conomique et soci&#233;tale sans pr&#233;c&#233;dent (ex&#160;: Peterson 1978&#160;; Skeet 1992). Cet &#201;tat‐nation t&#233;moigne aujourd&#8217;hui d&#8217;une transformation en profondeur d&#8217;une soci&#233;t&#233; multiple, qui tente d&#8217;associer h&#233;ritage historique et modernisation comme l&#8217;assise d&#8217;une identit&#233; forte dans la r&#233;gion du Golfe et au-del&#224; (ex&#160;: Valeri 2007&#160;; Pappas 2015). Compte tenu notamment de sa situation g&#233;ographique de carrefour strat&#233;gique et &#233;conomique, ce pays participe, avec le d&#233;troit d&#8217;Ormuz, &#224; la gestion des voies d&#8217;acc&#232;s du Golfe &#224; l&#8217;oc&#233;an Indien (ex&#160;: Villiers 1969&#160;; Mery 2000&#160;; Nicollini 2004&#160;; Agius 2005). Il &#233;tablit une ind&#233;niable jonction historique et culturelle entre le monde arabe de l&#8217;Asie occidentale, l&#8217;Afrique orientale et le monde indien en ce d&#233;but du XXIe&#160;si&#232;cle.&#160;L&#8217;Oman Vision 2040 appara&#238;t donc comme une &#233;tape charni&#232;re dans l&#8217;histoire r&#233;cente de cette nation. Si elle s&#8217;inscrit dans une continuit&#233; avec la &#171;&#8201;renaissance&#8201;&#187; initi&#233;e par le Sultan Qaboos Bin Said (1940&#8211;2020) le 18&#160;novembre 1974, elle propose un substantiel changement de paradigme. Ce projet se d&#233;finit comme une &#171;&#8201;passerelle&#8201;&#187; pour surmonter les d&#233;fis des changements mondiaux que doit affronter la jeune g&#233;n&#233;ration de citoyens du Sultanat, de stimuler la croissance et favoriser la comp&#233;titivit&#233; &#233;conomique et le bien-&#234;tre social. Ainsi, pr&#233;sent&#233;e comme un &#171;&#8201;renfort&#8201;&#187; pour le d&#233;veloppement durable, cette vision d&#8217;avenir pr&#233;figure des transformations qui impliqueront de nouvelles mutations de la soci&#233;t&#233;.

إجراء جرد متعدد التخصصات للفترة المعاصرة في سلطنة عمان من خلال الجمع بين الأبحاث القديمة والحديثة. يمكن أن ترتبط هذه الأعمال بتاريخ عمان بقدرما ترتبط بالتغيرات الاجتماعية والثقافية العظيمة التي اجتازت مجتمعه. يتعلق الأمر باستكشاف الجوانب المختلفة التي يمكن ملاحظتها اليوم والتي تساهم في أفضل فهم لهذا البلد بمرور الزمن.ما هي المراحل الرئيسية للبناء الوطني ولهذه "النهضة" الاقتصادية والثقافية في ضوء تاريخ الماضي لعمان؟ بأي طرق تم تنظيم وتطوير هذه المنطقة الجغرافية والبشرية؟ كيف ساهم المجتمع العماني بكل تنوعه في هذا التحول المعاصر؟ وكيف يرى ماضيه؟المقالات المقترحة مدعوة لاستكشاف على الأبعاد التاريخية، الأنثروبولوجية، الاجتماعية والثقافية من خلال موضوعات رؤية عمان 2040 التي يمكن ربطها والتعبير عنها في موضوعها، دون أن تكون حصرية: البعد الثقافي للمجتمع في "تطوير القدرات المحلية في مجال الابتكار والإبداع"&#160;- الدولة في "التنمية المستدامة" &#8211; "الموارد الطبيعية وحماية البيئة" - "تحديث" الدولة و&#160;"تعزيز المواطنة المسؤولة".يمكن أن تتناول المقالات موضوع رواية الأمة العمانية: في هذا الإطار، سنتركزعلى دراسة التعزيز التاريخي للعلاقات التجارية والثقافية بين شبه الجزيرة العربية والمحيط الهندي من العصور القديمة إلى أيامنا، وإدماجها في التمثيلات الجماعية، وإسقاطاتها في القراءة الوطنية للعناصر المكونة للثقافة العمانية المعاصرة. فإن ديناميات البرامج الأثرية، وزيادة عدد المتاحف والمهرجانات المواضيعية من جميع الأنواع على مدى الثلاثة العقود الماضية، تشهد على الاهتمام الكبير الذي أبدته الدولة العمانية بتراث الأمة والتزام المواطنين في تقييمها.تُقْبَل المقالات بالفرنسية والإنجليزية والعربية، ويرجى أن تكون مكتوبة بلغة واضحة وسلسة وخالية من المصطلحات الغامضة وأن تكون قابلة للقراءة من قِبَل غير المتخصصين في المجال. يجب أن يتراوح طولها بين 8000 و10000 كلمة (بما في ذلك الهوامش والمراجع).يرجى إرسال المقترحات للمقالات (300-350 كلمة) قبل 25&#160;أبريل&#160;2020 وترسل المقالات في صيغتها النهائية بعد الموافقة على المقترح قبل 30&#160;يونيو&#160;2020.للاطلاع على إرشادات التحرير الخاصة بالمجلة https://journals.openedition.org/cy/2010&#160;المراجع الإرشاديةAGIUS Dionisius, Seafaring in the Arabian Gulf and Oman.
