SUMMARY:The Muslim Sensorium: From the 10th-century Brethren of Purity to Muḥammad Farīd Wajdī (d. 1954)
DESCRIPTION:**Please note the new date and location of this event.** \nA reception will follow the lecture. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP here. \nIn recent years\, the senses have become the object of renewed interest in the humanities and social sciences\, including within the study of Islamic intellectual history. This talk surveys models of the human sensorium articulated in the Islamic world from the 10th to the 20th century CE. It focuses on chapters devoted to the senses in five major Arabic encyclopedias of knowledge: (1) the Epistles of the Brethren of Purity (Iraq\, 10th c.); (2) Avicenna’s Book of Healing (Persia\, 11th c.); (3) al-Jildakī’s Proof on the Secrets of the Science of Balances (Egypt\, 14th c.); (4) al-Majlisī’s Oceans of Lights (Persia\, 17th c.); and (5) Muḥammad Farīd Wajdī’s Encyclopedia of the Twentieth Century (Egypt\, 20th c.). The talk traces how theories of sensory perception differed and evolved across a millennium of Islamic thought in the Nile-to-Oxus region\, exploring continuities and shifts shaped by Graeco-Islamic philosophy\, the magico-theurgical tradition\, Shiʿi devotion\, and modern Muslim scientism.\n—\nChristian Lange (PhD Harvard\, 2006) is Professor of Islamic and Arabic Studies at Utrecht University\, the Netherlands. His publications include Justice\, Punishment and the Medieval Muslim Imagination (2008)\, Paradise and Hell in Islamic Traditions (2016)\, and most recently (as co-editor)\, Islamic Sensory History\, Vol. 2: 600-1500 (2024). Since 2017\, he’s been the Principal Investigator of the Utrecht-based research group SENSIS: The senses of Islam\, funded by research grants of the European Research Council and the Dutch Science Organisation.

SUMMARY:Islam\, Arabic\, and Slavery in Omar ibn Said’s America
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk and Discussion – Registration Required\n\nWinner of a 2024 American Academy of Religion book award\, this book focuses on Omar ibn Said (1770–1863) who was a Muslim scholar from West Africa who spent more than fifty years enslaved in the North Carolina household of James Owen\, brother of Governor John Owen. In 1831 Omar composed a brief autobiography\, the only known narrative written in Arabic by an enslaved person in North America\, and he became famous for his Arabic writings. In this book\, Mbaye Lo and Carl W. Ernst weave fresh and accurate translations of Omar’s eighteen surviving writings\, for the first time identifying his quotations from Islamic theological texts\, correcting many distortions\, and providing the fullest possible account of his life and significance. \nProfessor Mbaye Lo is an Associate Professor of the Practice of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and International Comparative Studies at Duke University. His research focuses on political Islam\, Arabic literary traditions in West Africa\, and concepts of civil society and governance. \nCarl W. Ernst is William R. Kenan\, Jr.\, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is an academic specialist in Islamic studies\, with a focus on West and South Asia. \nSeth Perry -Associate Professor of Religion in the Department of Religion at Princeton University. \nJudith Weisenfeld -Agate Brown and George L.

SUMMARY:Papermakers and Paperusers: Support as Image in the Early Modern Spanish Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:Early modern Europe ran on paper. It was indispensable as a support for letters\, orders\, trials\, and receipts\, in addition to drawings and prints. Yet\, when backlit\, many papers reveal hidden content: watermarks\, which flicker in and out of legibility. When considered seriously as emblems with iconographic and textual programs\, watermarks transform the blank pages they are indivisible from into images. And as images–often with religious components\, such as crosses or monstrances–they garnered the attention of individuals charged with monitoring the proper usage of such symbols: the functionaries of the Holy Office of the Inquisition. In this talk\, I will use the inquisitors’ debates on the merits of censoring papers with religious watermarks to reflect on the tensions and correspondences between ancient sacred symbols and modern commodities in a global colonial system.

SUMMARY:Black Girls Fly: Ruminations on Religion\, Race\, and Technology
DESCRIPTION:LeRhonda Manigault-Bryant is Professor of African\, African American\, and Diaspora Studies at the University of North Carolina\, where she serves as the Director of the Sonja Haynes Stone Director for Black Culture and History. She will be in conversation with Princeton University Graduate Student Ariyanne Colston. \nWhether investigating practices of specific communities\, exploring cultural production at the popular level\, considering the impact of new technologies\, or creating documentary shorts\, critical to Dr. Manigault-Bryant’s research and teaching are explorations of how Black women throughout the Diaspora engage religion and spirituality to navigate the contours of life. Her research straddles the disciplines of religion\, anthropology\, art\, music\, and media. A proud native of Moncks Corner\, South Carolina\, she wholly and critically grapples with the profound questions that inform our understandings of gender\, race\, culture\, and religious expression. She navigates the academy as a scholar-artist\, and actively merges her life as an intellectual\, musician and filmmaker\, including especially her work as founder of ConjureGirlBlue Productions\, a small media company specializing in nonfiction storytelling. \nThis event is part of the Religion and the Public Conversation series.

SUMMARY:Religion\, the Secular\, and Machines in Between
DESCRIPTION:John Lardas Modern is Arthur and Katherine Shadek Professor of the Humanities and Religious Studies at Franklin and Marshall College. He will be in conversation with CCSR Postdoctoral Fellow Suzanne van Geuns. His most recent book asks how the brain has become the locus of who we are.

Modern is also the Principal Investigator for Machines in Between (2021-23)\, a multi-media project funded by the Henry Luce Foundation and the Center for Sustained Engagement with Lancaster. Machines in Between is an audio-visual experiment that reimagines our present state of technological saturation. It is part mixtape\, surreal performance\, and philosophical experiment\, asking “What do we love when we love our machines?”\nThis event is part of the Religion and the Public Conversation series. The theme for the 2022-2023 year is “Religion and Technology: From Codex to Coding.”\nThis conversation will be livestreamed. Please register to attend the live webinar.

SUMMARY:The 'Cross of Gold' revisited: Money and Populism in the Age of Empire
DESCRIPTION:Rosalind Morris’ work is addressed to the histories and social lives—including the deaths and afterlives—produced in the interstices of industrial and resource-based capitalism in the Global South. Those interests extend to the technological and media forms that attend or undergird these economies\, and the forms of subjectivity produced in their midst. They also encompass the racialized and sexualized political logics and structures of desire accompanying these phenomena. Morris’ recent writings on these subjects are grounded in deep ethnographic research in Southern Africa\, an engagement that now stretches over more than two and a half decades; her early work was centered on mainland Southeast Asia\, especially Thailand. \nBelieving that ethnography is a mode of extended listening and learning from others\, and that textual practice is a dimension of analytic practice\, Morris’s work encompasses a variety of forms and media\, from scholarly articles to essayistic prose\, and ethnographic monographs. Her media works included documentary film and expanded cinematic installation\, as well as narrative film. Among her recent works are the documentary film\, We are Zama Zama\, which premiered as an official selection of the ENCOUNTERS International Documentary Film Festival in 2021\, and the flexible multi-media installation\, ‘The Zama Zama Project\,’ which was an official selection of the Berlinale Forum Expanded in 2021. Morris’s poetry has appeared in venues such as Ideas and Futures\, Literary Imagination and the Capilano Review\, among other publications. Artistic collaborations have been central to Morris’s creative practice. In addition to her monograph on Clive van den Berg and her co-authored volumes with William Kentridge\, her libretti\, co-written with Yvette Christiansë\, have been the bases of two operas by the Syrian-born composer\, Zaid Jabri. \nThe Doll Lecture on Religion and Money was established in 2007 by Henry C. Doll ’58 and his family. It reflects the family’s longstanding interest in the subject of philanthropy and its relationship with religion.

SUMMARY:PLAS Graduate Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:“Argentine Consumer Capitalism and its Discontents: Advertising\, Television\, and the Commodification of Attention” \nPresenter: Pablo Pryluka\, Ph.D. Candidate\, History \nIn 1973\, a new Peronist coalition won the national elections in Argentina. Having spent 18 years of exile in Spain\, Juan Domingo Perón returned to his native country backed by a political agreement between trade unions and the Confederación General Empresaria. Together\, this coalition promised to achieve what it called “national liberation.” Under the banner of national liberation\, the government tried to mitigate what it considered to be the pernicious effects of advertising: the creation of “false” needs and superfluous patterns of consumption. Implementing price controls\, the Subsecretary of Commerce prohibited corporations from including advertising expenditures in the business costs that would be factored into newly fixed sale prices. \n“Compensatory Politics” \nPresenter: Lindsay Ofrias\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Anthropology \nLindsay Ofrias is a Ph.D. candidate in anthropology. Her dissertation examines the political economy of environmental contamination and people’s struggles for conservation and survival in the extractive frontier of the Ecuadorian Amazon.

SUMMARY:PLAS Graduate Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:“The Making of Paranoid Working Class” \nPresented by: Brandon Hunter\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Anthropology \nThis presentation traces the making of a working-class consciousness among taxi drivers employed in the tourism sector in the town of Playa del Carmen\, MX. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork with the city’s only taxi driver union\, Brandon shows how drivers’ direct and indirect involvement in the local vice economy generated a critical understanding of the entanglements between crime\, political corruption\, and licit capitalist relations. Drivers’ proximity to organized crime was not only the result of the prominent role drug dealing and other forms of vice play in the tourism economy\, but reflected an uneasy alliance struck between leaders in the taxi union and local criminal elements. While some drivers economically benefited from this arrangement\, he underscores the emotional\, psychological\, and sometimes even physical toll this took on drivers. Brandon observes that the working-class consciousness that emerges from this social milieu is on the one hand deeply anti-capitalist\, and yet also affectively paranoid. Drawing from Eve Sedgwick’s critique of paranoid readings\, he argues that drivers’ paranoia is both the source of their critical\, working-class consciousness\, and at the same time limits its emancipatory potential. \n“Band-Aid Solutions: Competition\, Capacity\, and Unequal Health Care Provision in Brazil” \nPresented by: Beatriz Barros\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Politics \nPublic works are often considered attractive tools for incumbents\, either because of their visibility to voters\, their value to corporate allies\, or both. Theories of democratic accountability predict that politicians in electorally competitive municipalities will build more schools\, pave more roads\, and break ground on more clinics than their counterparts in less-competitive areas. In other words\, these theories expect politicians to maximize credit-claiming opportunities. The empirical reality is less clear. Latin American governments routinely underinvest in infrastructure\, and the literature tying electoral competition to public goods provision produces mixed results. In this paper\, Beatriz argues that the visibility and salience of public works can paradoxically induce their underprovision. Public works are technically complex and can take months or years to conclude – if they are concluded at all. Consequently\, politicians in electorally competitive\, low capacity municipalities become blame minimizers. Using fine-grained municipal health budget data and a novel dataset on primary care clinic construction and renovation projects\, she shows that administrative capacity moderates the effect of electoral competition on health care investment. Rather than investing in public works for which the risk of electorally costly implementation failure is high\, blame minimizing politicians overspend on personnel and consumable goods and are less likely to initiate new construction projects. \nThis in-person workshop is open to Princeton University ID holders only.
