SUMMARY:The Anatomy of Loyalty and Patterns of Patronage in the Religio-political Culture of Sixteenth Century Iran
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Khafipour discusses the spiritual dimensions of political loyalty that was instrumental in the formation of strong ties between the Safavid rulers and their chiefs at the epicenter of the order\, where power was continually contested. Drawing on a wide variety of historical and literary sources\, Islamic theology\, and theories of power\, he discusses the anatomy of political loyalty among the early Safavids within the context of early modern state formation and posits that hierarchies of spiritual power inherent in Sufi orders and sacrosanct mutual obligations that informs pir-murid interactions helped to create a strong patronage system that offered the early Safavids the ideological sources for long term success as a political order. \nHani Khafipour received his doctorate from the University of Chicago. He is a specialist in the history of medieval and early-modern Iran. His research encompasses study of the structures of political orders\, theories of power and state formation\, sociolinguistics and critical discourse analysis. He has held research fellowships from the Iran Heritage Foundation (UK)\, and the American Institute of Iranian Studies.  He was an Andrew W. Mellon fellow\, and a fellow of the Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute. Khafipour teaches courses on Islamic political thought and theory\, and medieval and modern history of Iran at the University of Southern California. His recent research and teaching interests has culminated in an edited volume\, Empires of the Near East and India: Source Studies of the Safavid\, Ottoman\, and Mughal Literate Communities (Columbia University Press\, 2017)\, and a book manuscript\, The Mantle of Authority in an Early Modern Society (under preparation). He is the current History of Iran Section Editor for the Encyclopedia of Islam 3\, Brill.

SUMMARY:New Methods in the Study of the Qur'an
DESCRIPTION:The date and provenance of the Qur’an\, as with all the literary sources for early Islamic history\, have been the subject of scholarly disagreement for decades. So have the questions of whether the Qur’an had one author or multiple authors\, and whether the suras are random mishmashes of verses from different periods or somewhat coherent textual units. The field has been ripe for the application of new methods as a way out of the various deadlocks. This presentation gives an overview of some of the methods recently applied to the study of the Qur’an\, including stylometry (quantitative analysis of style)\, radiocarbon dating\, X-Ray Fluorescence imaging\, and a new take on traditional textual criticism. \nBehnam Sadeghi specializes in the early centuries of Islamic religion and teaches courses on pre-modern intellectual history. He has done research on the early history of the Qur’an\, the hadith literature\, and the early legal debates about women in the public space. His doctoral dissertation examined methods of textual interpretation applied in the Hanafi school of law in the pre-modern period. He has taught Approaching Religion (covering early Islam)\, and courses on pre-modern theology\, pre-modern law\, and the early history of the Qur’an. \nEvent sponsored by UCLA Center for the Study of Religion and co-sponsored by UCLA Iranian Studies\, UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies and UCLA Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures
