Roundtable
The conference was concluded by a final
roundtable chaired by Dr. Bekkaoui and Dr. Mouaid,
the organizers of the event. In their speeches, both
professors encouraged the participants to continue
to further research each in his/her research area
and to collaborate in finalizing their conference
papers findings for publication in a special issue of
the Centres journal. This roundtable was also an
occasion for both participants and audience to
outline the achievements and gaps (time, of
course!). All in all, everybody agreed that the next
conference would be an occasion to foster the
achievements and go beyond the gaps.
Prayer
After their excellent performance in mesmerizing
the conference audience, the participants said
farewell to each other and hastily murmured that
they would see each other again soon: same place,
same zeal. They embraced, scattered and then rode
magic carpets to their far abodes in Absurdistan
thus answering the call of mystical powers from
One Thousand and One Nights.
Lets pray the magicians of the Orient will bring
these indispensable voices together again next
November for another encounter before the last. An
encounter after the fact. Amen!
