SUMMARY:Islam and Jews in the Holy Land: Land and Nature and the Construction of Jewish Culture
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Dr. Mostafa Hussein will explore the ways the Jewish intelligentsia in pre-state Palestine interacted with Arabo-Islamic civilization\, as demonstrated in Hebrew works treating the geography and the nature of the Holy Land. The talk will also highlight how the Jewish engagement with Islamic culture contributed to the Jewish connection to the land and its nature. It will demonstrate how Jewish individuals who viewed themselves as culture shapers and scholars incorporated and exploited Arabo-Islamic knowledge within the domain of yediʿat ha-arets [the intimate knowledge of the land]. \nThe Hebrew scholarly treatment of the historical geography of Palestine/Israel generally runs along four axes : (1) an emphasis on the importance of Arabic and Islamic knowledge for the advancement of yediʿat ha-arets; (2) an effort at identifying place-names that appear in biblical and post-biblical sources with their equivalent in modern Palestine and associating them with Arabic place-names; (3) a prioritization of certain places of interest to Jews in view of data preserved in Arabo-Islamic sources; and (4) the construction of a pictorial account of Arab inhabitants’ relationship with the Land of Palestine/Israel. \nMostafa Hussein is a postdoctoral scholar and a teaching fellow in the School of Religion at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University. His doctoral dissertation titled “Hebrew Scholarship on Islam” explored the various ways of interaction between Jewish intellectuals and Arabo-Islamic civilization in Late Ottoman through Mandatory Palestine and during the early years of the state of Israel. His research focuses on the encounter between Jews and Islam in modern times in the Middle East as exploring main themes in the mutual perceptions of Jews and Muslims as they were represented in the writings of intellectuals from both sides. \nPlease RSVP for Event\nhttp://www.international.ucla.edu/israel/event/12694

SUMMARY:Feeling the Love of a Divinity in Bhakti Vaishnavism\, Christianity\, Sufism\, Shia Islam\, and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:The sudden intensification of ‘love\,’ ‘union\,’ or ‘belonging’ generates a distinct emotion to which we give the scientific name\, kama muta. In vernacular language\, depending on the context\, moments of kama muta may be called being moved\, touched\, stirred\, enraptured\, mystical ecstasy\, slain in the Spirit; être ému; bewegt sein or gerührt sein; 感动 (gǎn dòng / gam dong / kando)\, etcetera. This emotion is evoked by suddenly feeling ‘close’ to a person or animal (especially an infant)\, a team\, a nation\, nature\, a deceased or former loved one\, or a deity. Rit-uals involving synchronous rhythmic movement\, chanting or singing together can produce the oneness that triggers kama muta; it is congruent with Durkheim’s “collective effervescence.” When kama muta is intense\, people may have a warm or other pleasant feeling in the center of the chest\, goosebumps or chills\, shed tears\, take a deep breath\, place a hand on the chest\, and then possibly feel buoyant and exhilarated. People avidly seek to experience kama muta\, give it to others\, and have it together with others. The spread and durability of Vaishnavism\, Buddhism\, Christianity\, Sufism\, and Shia Islam could be due in part to the affordances they provide for kama muta. \n\nAlan Fiske\, a psychological anthropologist\, is Professor of Anthropology\, University of California\, Los Angeles. He received his BA in Social Relations from Harvard and his PhD in Human Devel-opment from the University of Chicago. He studies how psychology\, culture\, natural selection\, and neurobiology jointly enable humans to cooperate. Previously\, he worked in tuberculosis control\, smallpox eradication\, and development in Malawi\, Democratic Republic of the Congo\, Bangladesh\, and Burkina Faso. He then devoted two years to fieldwork in a small Moose village in Burkina Faso\, working in the Moore language\, studying patterns of social relations. He is the originator of relational models theory\, which has now been tested\, applied\, and extended in over 300 publications by over 300 researchers. He is the author of Structures of Social Life: The Four Elementary Forms of Human Relations\, and co-author of Virtuous Violence: Hurting and Killing to Create\, Sustain\, End\, and Hon-or Social Relationships. His current research focuses on the causes\, consequences\, and cultural evocation of the emotion called being ‘moved’\, ‘touched\,’ having a ‘heart-warming’ experience\, or feeling mystical ‘rapture’. \nEvent Flyer\n  \nPlease RSVP for Event\n[gravityform id=”14″ title=”false” description=”false” ajax=”true”]
