SUMMARY:CHESUCRISTO: The Fusion in Image and Word of Che Guevara and Jesus Christ
DESCRIPTION:After his death\, Che Guevara became an icon and was even compared to Jesus Christ. Many images\, poems\, plays\, and films bear witness to this remarkable process\, which made studious use of Christian iconography. In this way\, Che Guevara became a Christ figure for our times. In order to explain their real affinity\, the author examines Jesus as a historical figure and illuminates the convergence with Che. Kunzle weaves together the gospel texts and events with Che-Christic texts\, accompanied by a continuous display of Che-Christic art \nDavid Kunzle\, educated at Cambridge and London Universities\, has taught art history since 1977 at UCLA. He has published widely (thirteen books in several languages) on public\, popular\, public\, comic and revolutionary (Latin American) art. His most recent works are on The Murals of Revolutionary Nicaragua\, The Comic Strips of Gustave Doré\, Chesucristo\, The Fusion in Word and Image of Che Guevara and Jesus Christ\, and now CHAM: the best Comic Strips and Graphic Novels 1839-1863. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n\nRSVP Below: \n\n[gravityform id=”75″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n\n

SUMMARY:The Seventeenth Century Judeo-Persian Adaptation of the Buddha Biographies
DESCRIPTION:Elisha ben Shemuel’s Shahzadeh va-Sufi or The Prince and The Sufi is a seventeenth century Judeo-Persian adaptation of the life of Buddha\, known in the west as the story of Barlaam and Josaphat. The plot\, that of the prince who abandons a life of privilege and opulence for spiritual enlightenment\, has traveled through centuries in various languages including Sanskrit\, Middle Persian\, multiple Arabic versions\, Georgian\, Greek\, Latin\, several European languages and Hebrew. As with previous adaptations\, the author of The Prince and The Sufi uses the language\, literary style and conventions suited to the tastes of his readership. Dr. Yasharpour is preparing to publish the edited Judeo-Persian text of The Prince and the Sufi together with an English annotated translation. In her talk\, she will discuss how Ben Shemuel appealed to his acculturated Persian Jewish audience by modeling his Judeo-Persian adaptation after popular classical Persian advice literature and conveying practical wisdom by way of a Sufi master. \n  \nDr. Dalia Yasharpour (Ph.D. Near Eastern Languages & Cultures\, UCLA\, 2005) is a scholar of Judeo-Persian language and literature. A lecturer and researcher\, Dalia most recently headed the Iranian Studies program at Harvard University’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. In addition to authoring academic articles and editing Persian language textbooks\, she is the co-author of The Haggadah of the Kaifeng Jews of China (Brill\, 2011). A Los Angeles native\, she lives in West Los Angeles with her family. \n  \n  \n  \nEvent Flyer\n  \n  \n  \n\nPlease RSVP Below: \n\n[gravityform id=”79″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n\n

SUMMARY:On the Soul
DESCRIPTION:This discussion of the soul departs from the concept of the soul that for thousands of years has occupied the attention of philosophers and theologians and pervaded religious discourse. Morris is concerned with what William James referred to as ‘the popular soul\,’ the soul as it is invoked by expressions such as ‘an expansive soul\,’ ‘a soulless person\,’ ‘soul-mate\,’ and ‘that melody touched my soul.’ Skepticism with regard to the existence of this soul is without warrant. How this soul comes into being and develops; what its essential features are; how the world\, when the soul is engaged\, is transformed; what its relationship is to one’s conscience; its importance in a human life; its connections to purity and perfection\, to silence; its survival upon death; and the perils posed today to its development and existence are the principal topics considered. \n  \nHerbert Morris is an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Emeritus Professor of Law and former Dean of Humanities (1983 – 1993) at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His latest publication is Disclosures: Essays on Art\, Literature and Philosophy (2017). \n  \n  \n\nEvent Flyer\nRSVP Below: \n\n[gravityform id=”76″ title=”false” description=”false”]

SUMMARY:Between Bible and Qur'an
DESCRIPTION:The Qur’an draws on three major earlier traditions\, those of Judaism\, Christianity tradition\, and pre-Islamic paganism\, and while the Qur’an presents itself as a continuation and confirmation of the Torah and the Gospel\, its style deviates significantly from that found in Biblical texts. Western scholarship has focused on Biblical influence in terms of the characters of Biblical narrative\, and specific terms and concepts\, and the versions of individual stories. This study focuses instead on genres\, which have not been entirely ignored but have certainly been understudied. A notable exception is Wansbrough’s Qur’anic Studies\, which assumes an essential continuity of the types of prophetic speech in the monotheistic tradition. This study takes a close look at several genres\, including prayers\, parables\, and punishment stories\, in an attempt to show the close relationship between Biblical and Qur’anic texts while also pointing out distinct features of Qur’anic as opposed to Biblical style. \nThe term Isra’iliyyat is quoted in Islamic literature to mention narratives and traditions originally e supposedly coming from Jewish and Christian literature\, including the Bible. The term has circulated since the 10th century and has been used in different ways gaining a specific polemical sense only with the work of Ibn Taymiyya and his pupil. The many occurrences through the ages display a variety in the meaning given to it and the extent of what Islamic authors conceived about the relation of Islamic tradition in relation to Jewish and other literatures including the Bible. Such a variety of attitudes also emerge in Western scholarly literature where the term is given meanings mostly related to the research approaches rather than its medieval circulation and attestations. \nDevin J. Stewart earned a B.A. in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University in 1984 and a Ph.D. in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 1991. He now teaches in the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies at Emory University in Atlanta. His areas of scholarly interest include the Qur’an\, Shiite Islam\, Islamic legal scholarship\, biography\, autobiography\, speech genres\, and other topics in Arabic and Islamic studies. He is the author of Islamic Legal Orthodoxy (Utah University Press\, 1998) and Disagreements of the Jurists (NYU Press\, 2015) and a co-author of Interpreting the Self (University of California Press\, 2002). He has written a number of studies on Qur’anic rhyme and rhythm and on form criticism of the Qur’an. \nRoberto Tottoli is Professor of Islamic studies at the University of Naples L’Orientale. He has published studies on the Biblical tradition in the Qur’an and Islam (Biblical prophets in the Qur’an and Muslim literature\, Richmond\, 2002; The stories of the prophets of Ibn  Mutarrif al-Tarafi\, Berlin\, 2003) and the medieval Islamic literature. His most recent publications include Ludovico Marracci at work: The Evolution of his Latin translation of the Qur’ān in the light of his newly discovered manuscripts (co-authored with Reinhold F. Glei)\, Wiesbaden\, Harrassowitz\, 2016; andBooks and Written Culture of Islamic World. Studies Presented to Claude Gilliot on the Occasion of His 75th Birthday(edited with Andrew Rippin)\, Leiden – Boston\, 2015. \nRSVP Below: \n\n[gravityform id=”81″ title=”false” description=”false”]
