SUMMARY:The Metaverse and its Premoderns: Islam in an Expanding Reality
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \n  \nIn February 2022\, Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs landed in the news when it announced that performing the pilgrimage to Mecca in the Metaverse does not count as a ‘real hajj’. Mixed reactions to this declaration aside\, this talk argues that\, in the Metaverse era\, the existence of a visible but immaterial realm is not just avant-garde\, post-modern\, or\, worse\, a ‘blameworthy innovation’. Instead\, today’s Muslim imaginary worlds draw upon and find echoes in premodern Islamic artworks\, objects\, and other forms of creative expression. The Metaverse also recalls the so-called ‘realm of similitudes’ (‘alam al-mithal) developed in historical Islamic dream thought\, whose definitional contours and imagistic boundaries vary and enlarge over time. Such changes occur not only in the minds of spiritual sojourners\, but also through technological innovations\, all of which converge today to craft immersive worlds that reaffirm a historical past\, play with forms in the present\, and project poetic visions of what might come next. \n  \nRegister for Webinar

SUMMARY:Fantasmic Objects: Art and Sociality from Lebanon\, 1920-1950
DESCRIPTION:In Fantasmic Objects\, Kirsten L. Scheid offers a striking study of both modern art in Lebanon and modern Lebanon through art. By focusing on the careers of Moustapha Farrouk and Omar Onsi\, forefathers of an iconic national repertoire\, and their rebellious student Saloua Raouda Choucair\, founder of an antirepresentational\, participatory art\, Scheid traces an emerging sense of what it means to be Lebanese through the evolution of new exhibition\, pedagogical\, and art-writing practices. She reveals that art and artists helped found the nation during French occupation\, as the formal qualities and international exhibitions of nudes and landscapes in the 1930s crystallized notions of modern masculinity\, patriotic femininity\, non-sectarian religiosity\, and citizenship. \n  \nRegister for Webinar \nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SJSeXOaaQf-WYMZscrFYBg#/registration \n \n

SUMMARY:Playing for Time:  One Thousand and One Nights
DESCRIPTION:One Thousand and One Nights is a work made of and by translation. The earliest Arabic fragments are already translations of an earlier Persian work\, which borrowed in turn from stories of ancient India. The Arabic text itself is not stable: many different versions have proliferated over the centuries. The work’s authors are unknown\, but its translators (a “hostile dynasty”\, in Borges’ phrase) have made frequent and dramatic authorial interventions. Yasmine Seale will discuss the layered history of the Nights and how to approach a text which seems to defy the very idea of an “original”. \n
