17. CfP Arabic Pasts: Histories and Historiographies deadline Tuesday, 19 April 2022
Co-hosted by the Aga Khan University, Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations and
SOAS, University of London
Aga Khan Centre, London and online
6 to 8 October 2022
This annual exploratory and informal workshop not only offers the opportunity to reflect on history writing in Arabic, but also invites contributors to explore more broadly how people relate to the past. We encourage contributions focused on methodologies, research agendas, and case studies related to Arabic in any region and in any period from the seventh century to the present.
Papers might elucidate questions such as:
How and in which terms do people refer to the past? How and in which terms do they refer to memory? What is the relation between history and memory, and between memory and space? How does the past sit in people’s bodies – and in the body politic?
Through what practices of writing or otherwise encoding the past and of remembering and forgetting, have different groups in the Middle East and North Africa viewed their pasts? At different times and places, was the significant past the same for court historians as for literary historians; for bureaucrats as for the military; for Sufis as for Muslim lawyers and Traditionists?
From what perspective have histories been written and what makes them coherent? How have past events been rendered intelligible? When do particular views of the past start to fall apart? Which categories and boundaries are seen as primordial and which are not? Which beings have been seen as capable of influencing events and when?
How do people connect the/their living and the/their dead conceptually? When are past events really over and when can they be laid to rest? Under which circumstances is the past revived? Why do some past lives or events inspire action and others do not? How does unresolved conflict inform thinking about and using the past?
How did non-Muslims and Muslims, men and women, adherents of different confessional or juristic traditions, or speakers of different languages, within societies that became “Islamic” imagine the shape and meaning of their specific societies’ own pasts, and their relation to the universal history of the Islamic community?
How have urban and rural people, workers and peasants, the religiously educated and the technocratic elite, developed different ways of writing, remembering, or commemorating particular events in, or the broad sweep of, local, national, or “Islamic” history?
In what ways do educational institutions, museums, media organizations and proponents of heritage use history writing in Arabic to shape loyalties and senses of belonging in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe? How do recent discourses in the West shape discussions of history in the Middle East?
How can digital methods now enhance or change our understandings of the past? What additional information and perspectives do they offer? (How) do they limit our understanding? What are practical challenges when we apply digital methods to Arabic history? What seem to be particularly promising approaches?
Contributions are invited from scholars at all career levels, addressing any period and any part of the Middle East and North Africa, broadly defined.
This year we anticipate running the workshop from the Aga Centre in London, with the possibility to have an online component featuring participants who are unable to travel to the UK. As in past years, there is a small budget to provide some travel assistance for scholars outside of London.
Arabic Pasts is co-organized by Hugh Kennedy (SOAS), James McDougall (Oxford), Lorenz Nigst (AKU-ISMC), and Sarah Bowen Savant (AKU-ISMC).
Please submit an abstract of 300 words or less in word document by Tuesday, 19 April 2022 to ArabicPastsConf@aku.edu .
18. “Malcolm X, Islam and the Souls of Black Folk”
A Talk by
Dr. Zain Abdullah
Temple University
Friday, March 25, 2022 | 5:00 PM EST (Zoom)
Malcolm X is one of the 20th century’s most intriguing figures, becoming a standard in Black Studies, street culture and global affairs, with Turkey recently changing its new American embassy’s street to “Malcolm X Avenue.” Still, his deep encounter with religion is routinely ignored. Dr. Zain Abdullah places Malcolm X in the context of Islam and the fight for Black liberation, as both consistently informed his worldview and his struggle to free oppressed peoples.

3. Exhibit & Catalogue on Assyrian letters & archives
A cache of letters received over a hundred years ago forms the basis of an exhibit called “From Qarajalu (Persia) to Santa Clara County: An Assyrian Family’s Multiple Atlantic Crossings in Search of a Home at the turn of the Century.” The focus on the letters written in vernacular neo-Aramaic developed in Urmia, allows an understanding of cultural conditions from 1887 to 1923, a period of great educational and literary advances as well as war and displacement
Location: Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum, Sunnyvale, CA
Dates: April 3 to June 5, 2022 (open Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays)
A Catalogue of the exhibit is available for purchase, the four lectures in conjunction with the exhibit are open to the public and all but one will be in English. The other will be delivered in Assyrian neo-Aramaic, almost mutually intelligible to Aramaic speaking Jews originating from Urmia, Sanandaj and so forth and now mainly living in Israel. This may be one of the few times that scholars and the general public will be able to hear a non-religious presentation in this living but endangered language.

6. Virtual 2-day Conference
Forms and Functions of Islamic Philosophy
with keynote sessions by Dr. Lara Harb
Thursday, March 31, 2022 — Friday, April 1, 2022
Online Event
“Forms and Functions of Islamic Philosophy” seeks to highlight how Islamic philosophy (falsafa/ḥikma) was practiced “in conversation”—between scholars, with various audiences, and with different disciplines, approaches, and rhetoric. Islamic philosophy was composed not only in traditional forms of treatises and commentaries but also through narratives written in poetry and prose. For example, Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī penned a panegyric poem written in Persian in praise of logic, physics, and metaphysics, alongside his many philosophical prose treatises. Ibn al-ʿArabī’s philosophical mysticism includes prose that reads as Aristotelian commentary alongside succinct poems highlighting his key philosophical concepts through mystical metaphors. In reference to Ibn Sīnā’s allegorical treatise, Ibn Tufayl’s famous Ḥayy Ibn Yaqẓān provides an intriguing narrative and philosophical thought experiment. What do story-telling, poetry, narrative, metaphor, and allegory reveal about the nature and purpose of philosophy?
The conference is organized in conjunction with the “Islamic Philosophy in Conversation” working group. The conference aligns itself with the goals of the working group, and therefore seeks to highlight the work of a diverse group of scholars, including emerging scholars of Islamic philosophy, as well as those who identify as female, non-binary, or as belonging to a historically-marginalized group.

Shii News – Webinar: ‘Studying the Philosophy and Meaning of Ashura in Academia’ (17.3.22, 12.30 PM EST)
Studying the Philosophy and Meaning of Ashura in Academia: Historical and Contemporary Issues
Thursday, March 17, 2022, 12:30pm to 2:00pm
Abstract:
Within academia, there has been much research done on Ashura and its centrality in Shi’a Islam. However much of the field has focused on particular communal or ritual manifestations with less emphasis on the rich philosophical and theological interpretations of Imam Hussain’s life and legacy found in diverse Muslim societies throughout time. To move the literature forward, this panel addresses the question: how can the philosophy of Ashura and the values underpinning Imam Hussain’s actions be more deeply understood and investigated in academia from various disciplinary approaches? How can we study the values, meanings, and philosophy of Ashura? What is the field of Islamic or regional studies lacking in this regard and what can we do as scholars and academics to help rectify these challenges in the state of the field?
Speakers:
Syed Akbar Hyder, Associate Professor of Asian Studies and Islamic Studies, University of Texas at Austin
Karen Ruffle, Associate Professor of History of Religions and the Study of Religion, University of Toronto
Nicholas Boylston, Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, Seattle University

19. NES Lecture, March 23: Setting out from Mecca in 1481: About the possibly oldest extant Arabic travelogue from the Mashreq
Near Eastern Studies Lecture
March 23,12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Björn Bentlage (Orientalisches Institut, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg)
Hosted by Sabine Schmidtke (School of Historical Studies, IAS).
A rare find from the late Mamluk period offers new insights into the origins of a literary form and practice which, over the next centuries, would continue to develop into an important and many-faceted genre tradition in the Mashreq. Whereas the Arabic travelogue is usually associated with a long line of Maghrebi scholars heading East, the production of travel descriptions in the Mashreq, in contrast, has in general received less scrutiny, and today’s knowledge of its contours and beginnings remain vague. Now, the (re-)discovery of an anonymous hajj account from the late 15th/9th century, which I believe to be the so far oldest extant travelogue from the East, opens up a window on the earliest phases of literary Arabic travel writing in the Mashreq, just as it sheds more light on the cultural context of the period. Setting out from Mecca in 1481, the travelogue’s narrative finally arrives in the scholarly scene of late Mamluk Damascus, featuring its own variegated selection from Arabic literary tradition along the way. The lecture will throw a spotlight on the manuscript text itself, and it will emphasize those aspects of its form and content that could make it a valuable source for other researchers interested in the period and literary history.

20. CFP: Mystique and Politique, MLA 2023
From Mystique to Politique: Scholarship, Mysticism, and Politics in the 20th c.
Working Group, MLA Conference, San Francisco, Jan. 5th-8th, 2023
Submission Deadline: Saturday, April 2nd, 2022
https://mla.confex.com/mla/2023/webprogrampreliminary/Paper19223.html
This working group hopes to bring together scholars across a wide disciplinary and geographical range to investigate the cultural politics of the 20th century study of mysticism. Following the cataclysm of the Great War, thinkers in a wide range of fields—from philosophy to philology, from religious studies to history—turned to the study of mysticism, often in opposition to cultural forces of mechanization, materialism, and colonial domination. From interwar Egypt to Weimar Germany and beyond, this mystic turn coalesced into a suspect syncretism deserving of interrogation: Kabbalah, Sufism, and Hermeticism, but also Neoplatonism, Bergsonian intuitionism, and Theosophy all entered into a fraught dialogue. Taking our cue from Charles Peguy’s maxim “Tout commence en mystique et finit en politique”, our working group sets out to discuss the commitments, affects and concepts that impinged upon these scholars’ work. Possible topics include discourses on ‘the total Man’ (e.g. Ernst Kantorowicz, Henri Corbin or Abd al-Rahman Badawi), conceptions of the “irrational” (e.g. E.R. Dodds), spiritual or pneumatic conceptions of national tradition (e.g. Paul de Lagarde), aesthetic and literary engagements with “the mystical” (e.g. surrealists or Robert Musil), the group dynamics within which these studies were carried out (e.g. Collège de Sociologie or Eranos), and many more. We welcome contributions that study the implication of mysticism and politics across languages and tradition in the 20th century. In so doing we hope to both radically historicize—returning these studies of mysticism to the historical backdrop against which their cultural politics arose—while also giving due attention to the metaphysical elaborations that these scholars set out to forge.

21. Book Announcement: Authors as Readers in the Mamlūk Period and Beyond (ed. Élise Franssen, Venice: Edizioni Ca’ Foscari, 2022).
The whole text is freely available from here: http://doi.org/10.30687/978-88-6969-560-5
Abstract:
Authors read. They read to inform themselves and stay up-to-date, they read for their pleasure and to get inspired. And they write, by definition, using their readings in the course of their writing process. Authors often keep written traces (sometimes dated) of what they have read: a short statement on a manuscript page, a blurb, an anecdote in a letter to a colleague or friend, a résumé or notes jotted down in a notebook, a reading journal, an explicit quotation in their own work or the use of information unknown elsewhere than in a specific source.
Scrutinising authors’ readings is informative on a variety of levels. It provides information on their tastes and interests, on the subjects of their work at a given period, on their methodology and possible note-taking strategies, or on their scholarly milieu. It also brings a lot to intellectual history, giving information about the texts and manuscripts circulating at a certain period, in a certain place and milieu.
The research project RASCIO (Reader, Author, Scholar in a Context of Information Overflow, Marie Curie Grant Agreement no. 749180, 2018-21, Élise Franssen) aimed at getting a better sense of al-Ṣafadī’s (d. 764/1363) working method, his scholarly network, his habits as a reader and as a scholar in the extremely rich context of the beginning of the Mamlūk period. Reaching the end of the project, an international conference was to be organised in order to share the results of RASCIO and to broaden the scope by confronting these results to other situations: other authors, other periods, other places… The world pandemic of COVID-19 obliged us to cancel the event, and to turn it into a thematic volume.
Authors as Readers in the Mamlūk Period and Beyond gathers eight contributions investigating the readings of different authors from different points of view. The studied authors are mainly from pre-modern Islam – al-Qādī al-Fāḍil, Ibn Taymiyya, al-Ṣafadī, al-Subkī, al-Maqrīzī – with three notable exceptions: an incursion in the Ottoman nineteenth century with Esʿad Efendi, a detour by the French court of King Charles V with his physician Evrart de Conty working as a translator, and a preface mentioning the papyrus of Philodème de Gadara, from Greek Antiquity.
Keywords:
Authorship. Readings. Library. Scholars’ library. Literary tastes. Collecting. Methodology. Scholars’ networks. Book circulation. Intellectual history. Correspondence. Commentaries. Marginalia. Paratext in manuscripts.
