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.

This presentation will discuss some of the main features of Persian historiography under the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals. Early modern chroniclers engaged in a number of historiographical practices, including engaging with and modifying the earlier Timurid historiographical traditions, rewriting and repurposing their own narratives, blending genres, and continuing practices such as writing universal histories. By examining Persian chronicles across empires, it is possible to gain a better understanding of how these historiographical traditions crossed imperial boundaries and formed part of the Persianate world.

The talk will draw upon some of the main points in the author’s recent book, Persian Historiography across Empires: the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals (Cambridge University Press, 2021).
