Subject: Devotional Expressions of South Asian Muslims Conference - London - 16-18 November, 2006 Author: Sharmina [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wed, October 11 2006, 13:34:53-4 Devotional Expressions of South Asian Muslims Conference Venue: The Ismaili Centre, London Date: 16-18 November, 2006 The confluence between Muslim and Indic traditions in South Asia has given rise to a rich variety of devotional, artistic and literary forms of expression from medieval times to the present day. The aim of this conference is to draw together an international array of scholars to present new research on South Asian Muslims from historical and contemporary perspectives. Speakers will explore links between devotional forms and reflect on the relationship between religious traditions and their lived expression. The conference will bring out the plurality in the expression of Muslim belief in the Indian subcontinent and the role of this diversity in the lives of Muslims. It will foreground new approaches to the study of texts and traditions from South Asia. Finally, it will place Muslim expressions from South Asia in the wider contexts of the Muslim world.   Inquiries for registration should be directed to Dr Samira Sheikh, Research Associate, Department of Academic Research and Publications, The Institute of Ismaili Studies at ssheikh@iis.ac.uk.   Conference Speakers include: Ali Asani (Harvard University)   Michel Boivin (École Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris)   Nile Green (University of Manchester)   Syed Akbar Hyder (University of Texas, Austin)   Hussain Jasani (ITREB-India, Mumbai)   Pyarali Keshwani (New York)   Derryl Maclean (Simon Fraser University)   Françoise Mallison (École Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris)   Denis Matringe (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris)   Zawahir Moir (London)   Bazat-Saifiyah Qutbuddin (Mumbai)   Mehrdad Shokoohy (University of Greenwich)   Tony Stewart (North Carolina State University) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
