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

SUMMARY:The Arabic Freud: Psychoanalysis and Islam in Modern Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Omnia El Shakry\, Associate Professor of History at UC Davis What might it mean to think through psychoanalysis and Islam together\, not as a problem\, but as a creative encounter of ethical engagement? 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

SUMMARY:Islam and Muslims in an Age of ISIS and Islamophobia

Where do we go from here? How do we rebuild the bonds of the “Beloved community” that is the great hope of the American democratic experiment in this age of fear and fear-mongering? Omid Safi is a leading Muslim public intellectual. He is the Director of the Duke Islamic Studies Center\, a leading institutions for research on Islam and promoting publicly accessible scholarship on Islam and Muslim communities worldwide. \nAbout the Speaker: \n \nOmid is a professor of Islamic Studies\, and specializes in contemporary Islamic thought and Islamic spirituality.

SUMMARY:Kitāb al-Ḥayda and Early Ḥanbalī Creeds
DESCRIPTION:Among Islamic groups\, Sunnī traditionalists\, especially Ḥanbalīs\, were strongly opposed to kalām (dialectical theology). Their condemnation of kalām was such that it became an established article of their creeds. Notwithstanding this official condemnation\, there is evidence in their writings that they practiced kalām. For example\, Ḥanbalī practices of kalām have been examined in the work of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328)\, as have their influences on the disputational legal writings (jadal al-fiqh) of Ibn ʿAqīl (d. 513/1119). This talk investigates the role of kalām\, specifically apologetic kalām\, in fourth/tenth-century Ḥanbalī works through the lens of a pseudepigraphon. By examining the genesis of this pseudepigraphon — known in its later recensions under the title Kitāb al-Ḥayda (Book of evasion) — in al-Ibāna al-kubrā (The major creed) of Ibn Baṭṭa al-ʿUkbarī (d. 387/997)\, the presentation will highlight compelling textual evidence not only of the role of apologetic kalām but also of the transmission of pseudepigraphic narratives in the formation of Ḥanbalī creeds. \nRacha El Omari is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at University of California-Santa Barbara. Her research interests are in the areas of Islamic Theology\, Islamic Intellectual History\, and Arabic-Islamic Historiography. She received her PhD from Yale University (NELC). Her works include The Theology of Abū al-Qāsim al-Balkhī/al-Kaʿbī (d. 319/931) (Brill\, forthcoming)\, and “Accomodation and Resistance: Classical Muʿtazilites on Ḥadīth.” Published in the Journal of Near Eastern Studies.
