1. Call for Paper Proposals: The 5th Great Lakes Adiban Workshop in Ann Arbor, Michigan
The Great Lakes Adiban Society (GLAS) invites submissions for its fifth annual workshop, scheduled to take place at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, on October 9–10, 2021. We welcome works in progress that would benefit from extensive discussion and feedback, and especially encourage graduate students to participate. This workshop might also prove beneficial for those planning to present at the MESA conference on October 28–31.
The Society aims to provide a regional forum for scholars of Islamicate adab, particularly of the medieval and early modern periods, to meet and share their work. We leave our parameters of language and genre intentionally open in order to invite as wide a collaboration as can be useful, but as a group we are generally interested in the literary production of the broad complex of premodern Muslim societies across the Eastern Hemisphere. This naturally includes the major Islamicate languages of Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu, as well as many others (Armenian, Georgian, Hebrew, Spanish, etc.) that participate in similar literary conventions.
In light of the continued travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the Workshop will take place in a hybrid format: scholars who can make the trip to Ann Arbor are encouraged to do so, but those who cannot may participate remotely via Zoom. Applicants may indicate their preference on the application below.
Those who wish to participate can apply by filling out our online application by August 16, 2021. Please note that each accepted participant will be given 45 minutes to present and discuss their work; because of this, we have limited space and may have to turn down some submissions if we get too many. In such an event, preference will generally be given to graduate students, regional scholars, and works in progress. All in-person participants should plan to cover the costs of travel and lodging, but graduate students should note that we may (funding permitting) be able to offer small grants to help offset these expenses.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at greatlakesadibansociety@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
2. International Conference on Literature and Humor: The Trickster and His Subversive Tales
We are pleased to invite you to attend the online International Conference on “Literature and Humor: The Trickster and His Subversive Tales,” on November 4-7, 2021. The conference is organized by the Journal of Arabic and World Literature: Comparative and Multidisciplinary Perspectives (AWL), published at Andromeda Publishing and Academic Services, UK (http://journals.andromedapublisher.com/index.php/AWL).
We invite scholars to explore interdisciplinary themes related to multiple humorous and satirical narratives, presenting the various sets of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish treatment of the trickster character in order to identify cross-temporal and trans-local conceptualizations of the comic manifestation in samples of high literature as well as in folk narratives. Applying a comparative approach the conference aspires to facilitate a dialogue between classical and modern conceptualizations of the comic while questioning their boundaries.
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Modern Theories of Humor and Laughter.
- Humor in Middle Eastern Popular Culture: Juha in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish Narratives.
- Juha and tricksters in European Oral Tradition and Literature.
- Puns and Word-Play: Linguistic Ambiguity in Humorous Narratives.
- Political Satire in Classical Arabic Literature and the Modern-day Satirical Works related to Juha.
- Juha, Our Contemporary: Juha and the Social Media.
- Humorous Narratives as Resistance to and Subversion of Social Norms.
- Gendered Approaches to Humor.
- The Challenges of Translating Humor

3. CfP: Oriental Manuscripts in Germany – Collection History Between the Academic Thirst for Knowledge, Antique Trade Across the Globe, and Imperial Claims to Power
International Conference at the Berlin State Library, 29 June – 1 July 2022
International scholarship has recently intensified its focus on collection history, as current debates about Orientalism, colonial pasts, and provenance demand a more nuanced view on the processes that led to the transfer of knowledge contained in manuscripts from Asia and Africa to European libraries. The importance of the study of the development of collections in libraries and research institutions for understanding the history of the “Oriental disciplines” and intercultural relations is slowly beginning to be acknowledged.
During the past few years, digital databases have made Oriental manuscripts in Germany increasingly accessible while also bringing into focus collections of medium and small size. This enhanced visibility enables new perspectives on the historical development of these collections as well as on potential cross-connections.
Topic area 1: Collection history
We welcome contributions that approach collection history from different perspectives. Not only institutions, but also agents, objects, a collection’s reception, or its cataloguing process can serve as starting points for an investigation of the subject. Questions such as whether clear objectives or coincidences played a role in building a collection, handling the acquisition of scholars’ libraries, or accepting donations will be of interest.
Closely related to collection research are matters of acquisition records, provenance documentation, and the accessibility of such information in catalogues and databases, as well as their survey and analysis for research on collection and provenance.
The call covers the entire range of African and Asian script cultures and also allows for contextualising European manuscript culture. All time periods of collection will be considered. The focus is on developments in Germany in a broad international context.
Topic area 2: Contexts
This area takes as its starting point social- and cultural-historical questions that go beyond the focus on actual historical collections. This includes market development on a global and local scale and its political and economic catalysts. The differentiation of the Oriental disciplines, scholarly networks, and development of scientific methods (including technological developments such as photography) present further factors that merit study as regards their impact on the development of collections and the market situation. To afford an objective assessment of the mechanisms of transfer of cultural assets from Asia and Africa, it seems worthwhile to also consider antique trade in general and the dynamics of the European art market in particular.
We welcome contributions on networks or individual agents of manuscript trade, different forms of manuscript translocation, and on the (virtual) reconstruction of historical collections.
SUBMISSIONS
Interested participants are invited to submit a proposal (email only) including a title, a brief abstract and a short CV by 10 August 2021 to christoph.rauch@sbb.spk-berlin.de.
Pending funding agreement, the participants’ travel expenses will be covered.
Successful applicants will be notified by September 2021.

2. ONLINE Seminar: “Continuity and Creativity in Persian Poetry” by Prof. Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak (UCLA), Iran Heritage Foundation, 7 July 2021, 5:00 pm GMT
Starting in the tenth century, the initial language gave way to perceptions based in discourses of Islamic mysticism. Various mystical discourses took over Persian poetry to the extent that it rendered it almost im-possible to assume a posture based on negation of diverse belief systems. With the advent of modernity through the nineteenth century and the gradual realignment of the poetic language, contemporary discourses began to make themselves visible.
