00:42international media forum islamic civilization a new perspective new discoveries organized by the center of islamic civilization in tuscan brought
00:51media professionals researchers and
00:54technology specialist to uzbekistan the forum explored new ways of presenting history to today's audiences
01:01the wider idea behind the forum echoed president shavgat mir ziyoyev's 2017 u.n address when he rejected attempts to
01:10link islam with violence and called for enlightenment and religious tolerance
01:14one of the forum's central themes was that knowledge has long traveled between cultures
01:19we believe that we invented everything but it's not true all the knowledge passed from the i call it the
01:26silk road of knowledge
01:27it passed from ancient china to in the middle of the middle east and then we go to the renaissance
01:32world
01:33doctor today sites medieval engineers almurandi and al jazari as part of this wider history of scientific exchange
01:42but this was only part of the story spanish envoy ruy gonzalez teclavijo traveled to samarkand in the early 15th
01:51century to meet amir timour
01:52charlotte kramer presented a new publishing project based on his account we already see a very strong connection from europe
02:00to central asia and especially to the actual region of uzbekistan because of the trade road of the silk road
02:07and also because of diplomatic dialogue
02:09the project gives that century's old account a new form for today's audiences
02:16what stood out at the forum was how the same piece of history could take very different forms
02:22an ancient manuscript could study with ai reproduced in a book brought into a digital exhibition or retold on screen
02:31all starting from the same historical source
02:35ai could help researchers work with all manuscripts more quickly
02:39but new technology did not remove the need to verify information
02:43is úgy gondolom hogy úgy tudjuk a legjobban közelebb hozni az embereket a kultúrához illetve a történelemhez
02:52hogyha megfogunk egy modern dolgot és megfogunk egy régi egy tradicionális történetet
02:59és azt a kettőt ezt vegyítjük és ezt szerintem
03:01but the debate was not only about format it was also about how history itself is understood
03:08behind many of the projects presented at the forum was a broader aim to challenge stereotypes about islam
03:15by looking back at its scientific and cultural history
03:18the approach was not to ignore today's realities but to bring a much wider part of that history into the
03:24picture
03:39but some speakers argued that the problem was not only about perceptions in the west
03:45islam kasıtlı veya kasıtsız yanlış anlaşılıyor ve yanlış tanıtılıyor
03:51müslümanlar da dahil buna yani avrupalıları veya modern dünyayı suçlamak yetmiyor
03:58the discussion also turned to how international media report on uzbekistan
04:04is
04:17being on the ground is one part of the job
04:21what journalists do with what they find is another
04:25journalists should be here on the ground journalists should report about the reality
04:30we are there to empower our audiences to build up an own opinion
04:36what they want to think and should think about this region
04:39we are not here to teach them we are here to inform them
04:42across the forum one idea kept returning
04:45new tools can bring history closer to today's audiences
04:48but whatever the format facts context and critical judgment still matter
04:54you
