Shii News – CfP: Panel – “Beyond Karbala: Theorizing Shiʿi Materiality”, Marburg, Sept 2017

Panel: “Beyond Karbala: Theorizing Shiʿi Materiality”, German Association for the Study of Religion, Marburg, 13-16 September 2017

This panel invites to think about how theoretical assumptions and academic approaches towards Shiʿi materiality can be made fruitful to contribute to a broader understanding of Shiʿism, and account for non-binary views. While doing so the panel tries to assess Iranian and non-Iranian forms of Shiʿi materiality alike.

Deadline for abstracts: 22 January 2017. Information: Christian Funke (christian.funke@ithrw.uni-hannover.de) and Robert Langer (robert.langer@uni-bayreuth.de).
