Shii News – Classes on Henry Corbin’s En Islam Iranien
This class will commence with translating and discussing Volume One of Henry Corbin’s four-volume masterpiece, En Islam Iranien (Inside Iranian Islam). In this volume, subtitled Spiritual and Philosophical Aspects, Henry Corbin elaborates upon the Twelver ShīꜤī concept of imamate (sacred leadership) and spiritual path in the ShīꜤī tradition.
Importantly in his study, Henry Corbin challenges the secular understanding of time and posits that, in order to apprehend the true teaching of this tradition, it is necessary to revive a ‘way of seeing’ that can perceive the more subtle ‘time of the soul’.
Sessions are £20.00/$25.00 and seventy-five minutes long. Once you have booked, you will be sent the Zoom link and a copy of the text that we will be discussing.
Next class Tuesday 18th June 2024 19:30-20:45 UK time.
If this time is not convenient for you, please contact info@onlineshiastudies.com to arrange another time.
Topic: Chapter One ‘ShiꜤism and Iran’.

3. ONLINE Roundtable Discussion “Reorienting Islamic Studies in Asia”, Leiden University, 13 June 2024, 15.00 – 17:00 CEST
Asian Islam tends to be overlooked, excluded, or considered derivative of a supposedly normative and authentic Islam, defined as Middle Eastern or Arabian. Speakers will discuss and evaluate these dynamics through the launch of “Centering Islamic Studies in Asia“, a recently published special issue of the “Inter-national Issue of Islam in Asia”.

4. HYBRID Book Launch “Nafssiya, or Edward Said’s Affective Phenomenology of Racism” by Norman Saadi Nikro (ZMO), Discussant Smaran Dayal (Stevens Institute of Technology New York), Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin, 17 June 2024, 5:00 pm CEST
This book adapts the Arabic term “nafsiyya” to trace the phenomenological contours of Edward Said’s analysis of the affective dimensions of colonial and imperial racism. Reflecting on what he called his “colonial education,” Said rendered his Palestinian/Arab background and experience of racism an enabling component of his academic work. The argument focuses on his “personal dimension” section in his introduction to his famous volume Orientalism.

6. HYBRID Lecture “Imam/Merchant/King: Floating Sovereignty and the Indian Ocean World” by Taushif Kara (King’s College London), Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin, 24 June 2024, 5:00 pm CEST
This lecture explores the question of de-territorialized sovereignty through the history of one of the Indian Ocean world’s itinerant Muslim merchant communities: the Khojas from Gujarat who came to dominate oceanic trade during the colonial period. The lecture considers the relationship of the Khojas to their imam, the Aga Khan, and argues that his person came to function as a unique figuration of their otherwise “invisible” sovereignty.

10. ONLINE Webinar: ‘The New Persian Romance in a Global Middle Ages’,
with Cameron Cross
British Institute of Persian Studies, 17 July 2024, 5PM (UK time).
On Zoom.
In the early tenth century CE, a remarkable literary event took place, in which well-known stories of lovers were recast by court-affiliated poets as independent versified works in the emergent New Persian language.
With a focus on the remarkable story of Vis & Ramin, this talk seeks to situate that event in the broader context of the entangled literary histories of southwestern Afro-Eurasia from late antiquity to the medieval period, showing how the Persian corpus plays a crucial role in the history of romance writing at large.

11. Eighth European Congress on Universal and Global History
Critical Global Histories: Methodological Reflections and Thematic Expansions
Linnaeus University, Växjö, Sweden, 10−12 September 2025
Since its foundation in 2002, the European Network in Universal and Global History (ENIUGH) has emerged as the leading international association for research and teaching in world and global history. Following seven successful congresses in Leipzig, Dresden, London, Paris, Budapest, Turku, and The Hague, the next ENIUGH congress will be held at Linnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden. The congress will be on site only, although panel chairs may in exceptional cases allow participants to present their papers remotely.
Under the overall theme of “Critical Global Histories” we aim to further discussion, self-reflection, and the exploration of new avenues in global history. Over the past decade, global history has expanded internally (quantitatively and thematically, as well as methodologically and theoretically) and has, in doing so, influenced many other fields of research in the humanities and social sciences. At the same time, the expansion has led to debate and criticism, not least within the field. Objections have been raised against global history’s alleged macro-historical emphasis, connectivity bias, Eurocentrism, Anglophone dominance, and lack of attention to gender perspectives and Indigenous methodologies. Global history has also been accused of being imbued with neo-imperial, teleological, globalizing, exoticizing and neoliberal leanings. In recent years, decoloniality as a research practice and method has raised further questions regarding the situatedness of knowledge and the role of local sources for global history. At the same time, a current nationalist backlash in many countries has led to calls for a return to national history, thereby challenging the fundamental premises of global history.
At the Eighth ENIUGH Congress, we aim to pick up on these discussions and take a step forward by opening a space of dialogue, both between global historians and between global historians and their colleagues in other disciplines who are involved in the study of the global human pasts or who work with transnational, transregional, transcultural approaches in their respective fields. The Eighth ENIUGH-Congress will be a meeting place for scholars from all of the fields that go beyond methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism. We believe that critical thinking – both in the sense of impartial and intellectually disciplined thinking and in the sense of an augmented awareness of the many pitfalls associated with global history – can provide some of the means by which the field can evolve and retain its intellectual vigour and contemporary relevance. By framing the theme in terms of “global histories” in the plural, we aim to promote the inclusion of a broad range of voices, perspectives and orientations within the field, while forcefully rejecting the possibility of insisting on a single, dominating story or grand narrative of global history. The overall theme of the congress will be explored in a series of keynote events, roundtables, and panel discussions and in several of the regular panels and presentations at the congress.
Aside from the events related to the overall theme of the congress, we expect the congress to reflect the entire span of current research in global history, and we look forward to welcoming to Växjö scholars from all over world working on global and world history and related fields of study. Proposals can include a wide range of topics related to global, entangled, and transnational historical processes and phenomena, with no geographic or chronological limitations. While we expect most of the congress delegates to be historians, we also welcome scholars from other disciplines engaged in the study of humanity’s global pasts.
We invite contributions consisting of presentations of original research and empirically grounded work in progress, as well as theoretical, methodological, ethical, and historiographical reflections. We particularly encourage contributions that reflect on how critical thinking can be applied in global historical investigations. Although the main language of the congress will be English, individual presentations and panels in other languages can be accommodated (see further below).
In particular, we welcome contributions (both panels and individual papers) tailored to one of the following themes:
- Temporalities and periodizations in global history
- Ethical aspects of doing global history
- Expanding the global archive
- Multivocality in global history
- Global history and decoloniality
- Transdisciplinary approaches
- Indigenous perspectives and methodologies
- Challenging modernity from the perspective of global history
- National history, nationalist backlash, and identity politics
- Global environmental history
- Nordic colonialism
In addition to the main conference themes we also invite proposals dealing with relations, transfers and entanglements between states, peoples, communities and individuals located in or spanning different parts and regions of the world.
Proposals
We invite proposals for panels, double panels, roundtables, and individual papers. Papers and presentations may be in any language, but abstracts for all panels, roundtables, and papers must be provided in English. Panel chairs must ensure the openness, accessibility, and coherence of their panel, and it is recommended that Q&A sessions be held in English regardless of the language of the presentations. All congress delegates are expected to participate on site in Växjö. In exceptional circumstances, panel chairs may allow a minority of presentations to be held remotely.
Panels may comprise up to four presentations, and double panels may comprise up to eight presentations, in addition to commentators and chairs. Panels must consist of scholars representing at least two different institutions in at least two different countries. Double panels must include participants from at least three different institutions in at least three different countries.
Roundtables may include up to five participants, in addition to commentators and chairs. Like double panels, roundtables must include scholars from at least three different institutions in at least three different countries.
We also welcome proposals for individual papers, which, if accepted, will be assigned to a panel by the steering committee of ENIUGH. Papers that speak to one or several of the themes listed above are particularly welcome, and the theme of most relevance to the proposal should be indicated in the submission form.
Submissions:
All abstracts for panels and papers must be submitted by October 15 via the congress website: https://research.uni-leipzig.de/~eniugh/congress/. Please note that all speakers of a panel must submit their papers individually in addition to the collective panel submission.
Abstracts for panels should be 250 – 300 words long and should indicate all panellists, their institutional affiliations as well as their paper titles. Additionally, panel abstracts should be pertaining to one of the conference themes.
Abstracts for papers should be 200 – 250 words long and indicate whether the paper is submitted as an individual paper or as part of a panel. In the latter case the abstract should name the panel title as well as the convenor’s name.
All abstracts should be in English. If the presentation is in a language other than English, please state this in the abstract. (Papers are selected solely on the basis of content, not linguistic criteria.)
Abstracts should also indicate whether you plan to participate in person or online. Please note that the convenor and a majority of participants in each panel must participate on site.
Selected panels and papers will be notified in December 2024.
Kind regards from the Organizing Committee,

Shii News – Hybrid book presentation: ‘Shi`i Materiality Beyond Karbala’ – F G Marei (6.6.24, 5pm CEST)
HYBRID Book Presentation “Religion That Matters: Shiʿi Materiality Beyond Karbala”by Fouad Gehad Marei (Lund University), Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin, 6 June 2024, 5:00 pm CEST
The book engages with conceptual debates in the fields of Religious Studies, Material Religion, Anthropology of Religion, Media Studies, and Cultural and Heritage Studies. By examining how material things make the praesentia of the Sacred tangible, how they cultivate intimate relations between human and more-than-human beings, the book makes several propositions that push the frontiers of the social and anthropological
study of religion.
