SUMMARY:A Public Private Letter: From Ta-Nehisi Coates to the Letters of Paul and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean read a letter that seems to have one set of addressees\, but which is redeployed in a broader or in a trans-local way? This paper tests the idea that the formation of Paul’s letter collection\, found in the New Testament\, may have been influenced by large-scale inscriptional “publications” of letters in the cityscapes of the second to third centuries CE. Additionally\, it contextualizes the formation of Pauline letter collections within broader practices of letter collections in the first and second centuries CE\, including those of Cicero and Pliny. We’ll consider together the power of texts that claim a limited “you” or addressee\, but that reaches far beyond that original audience. \nLaura Nasrallah is Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Harvard. Her books include Christian Responses to Roman Art and Architecture: The SecondCentury Church Amid the Spaces of Empire and An Ecstasy of Folly: Prophecy and Authority in Early Christianity. She is co-editor of Prejudice and Christian Beginnings: Investigating Race\, Gender\, and Ethnicity in Early Christian Studies and From Roman to Early Christian Thessalonikē: Studies in Religion and Archaeology. She has just completed a book manuscript titled Archaeology and the Letters of Paul. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n  \nPlease RSVP for Event\n[gravityform id=”46″ title=”false” description=”false” ajax=”true”]

SUMMARY:African Sources of Knowledge in Ajami Script: The Case of the Muridiyya
DESCRIPTION:Although written records are rarely regarded as part of sub-Saharan Africa’s intellectual heritage\, important bodies of Ajami literature (records of African languages written in Arabic script) have existed in Africa for centuries. In South Africa\, Muslim Malay slaves produced the first written record of Afrikaans in Ajami. The neglect of African Ajami traditions is due to a number of factors\, including the lack of an Ajami public depository\, the limited number of scholars with the linguistic and cultural background necessary to study Ajami manuscripts\, and the prevailing assumption that sources of useful knowledge on Africa are either oral or written in European languages. Yet\, Ajami traditions of Africa are old and are varied. They include satirical\, polemical and protest poetry\, as well as biographies\, eulogies\, genealogies\, talismanic resources\, medicinal manuals\, family journals\, business transactions\, historical records\, speeches\, texts on administrative and diplomatic matters\, Islamic jurisprudence\, behavioral codes\, grammar\, and even visual arts. In this talk I show how the study of Ajami manuscripts forces revisions of various aspects of our understanding of pre-colonial\, colonial\, and post-colonial Africa. \n  \n\nFallou Ngom is Professor of Anthropology and Director of the African Studies Center at Boston University. His research interests include the interactions between African languages and non-African languages\, the adaptations of Islam in sub-Saharan Africa\, and Ajami literatures—records of African languages written in Arabic script. He seeks to understand the knowledge buried in African Ajami literatures and the historical\, social\, cultural\, and religious heritage that has found expression in this manner. He has held Fulbright\, ACLS/SSRC/NEH\, and Guggenheim fellowships. His work has appeared in several scholarly journals\, including African Studies Review\, Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies\, Language Variation and Change\, and International Journal of the Sociology of Language. His recent book\, Muslims beyond the Arab World: The Odyssey of Ajami and the Muridyya (Oxford University Press\, 2016)\, won the 2017 Melville J. Herskovits Prize in African Studies. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n  \nPlease RSVP for Event\n[gravityform id=”52″ title=”false” description=”false” ajax=”true”]
