Greek\, preeminent for centuries as a language of high culture and governance\, faded as Arabic advanced to fill these niches. Coptic\, which until then had functioned largely as a vernacular\, became in its turn a language of culture and administration. This talk traces the three languages’ variable coexistence in a time of political and social change through the papyri and literary sources. \nSponsored By: \nDean’s Discretionary Fund \nCenter for Near Eastern Studies \nDr. Naïm Vanthieghem is a Research Scholar at the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes (IRHT)\, a division of the Centre National de la Recherche\nScientifique in Paris.

Traversing literatures minor and major\, Omnia El Shakry shows how postwar thinkers in Egypt translated and blended psychoanalytic theories with classical Islamic concepts. El Shakry explores how Freudian ideas of the unconscious were crucial to the formation of modern discourses of subje\nctivity in fields as diverse as psychology\, Islamic philosophy\, and the law. Rather than view Islamic discourses as hermetically sealed\, or traffic in dichotomous juxtapositions between East and West\, this talk focuses on the points of intersection and articulation between Islamic discourses and modern social scientific thought\, and between religious and secular ethics. The hybridization of psychoanalytic thought with Arab and Islamic discursive formations thus illustrates that the Arabic Freud\, like psychoanalysis itself\, was elaborated across the space of human difference. \n\nOmnia El Shakry is Associate Professor of History at the University of California\, Davis\, specializing in the cultural and intellectual history of the modern Middle East. She is the author of The Great Social Laboratory: Subjects of Knowledge in Colonial and Postcolonial Egypt\, and editor of the multi-volume Gender and Sexuality in Islam. \n  \nCo-Sponsored By:\n\nUCLA Center for European and Russian Studies\nDepartment of Comparative Literature\nNear Eastern Languages and Cultures\n\nParking available in Structure 2 for $12. \nEvent is free and open to the public. \n  URL:https://islamicstudies.ucla.edu/event/arabic-freud-psychoanalysis-islam-modern-egypt/ CATEGORIES:Arabic,NELC END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151109T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151109T150000 DTSTAMP:20160708T192121Z CREATED:20160708T192121Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160708T192121Z UID:2412-1447075800-1447081200@islamicstudies.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Philosophy in Context: Arabic and Syriac Manuscript Transmissions in the Mediterranean DESCRIPTION:This European funded project aims at understanding the conditions of the reception and transmission of philosophy of Greek tradition in the Arabic and Syriac languages in the geographical frame of the Mediterranean World\, and describing the vast amount of philosophical works preserved in libraries around the Mediterranean in a systematic way. \nThe codicological description is integrated in a database that will be open to the scholarly community.
