SUMMARY:Harvard CMES: Archive Wars - The Politics of History in Saudi Arabia by Rosie Bsheer
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the Department of History\npresent a discussion of\nArchive Wars: The Politics of History in Saudi Arabia\nby Rosie Bsheer (Assistant Professor of History\, Harvard University)\nThe production of history is premised on the selective erasure of certain pasts and the artifacts that stand witness to them. From the elision of archival documents to the demolition of sacred and secular spaces\, each act of destruction is also an act of state building. Following the 1991 Gulf War\, political elites in Saudi Arabia pursued these dual projects of historical commemoration and state formation with greater fervor to enforce their postwar vision for state\, nation\, and economy. Seeing Islamist movements as the leading threat to state power\, they sought to de-center religion from educational\, cultural\, and spatial policies. In Archive Wars: The Politics of History in Saudi Arabia (Stanford University Press\, 2020)\, Rosie Bsheer explores the increasing secularization of the postwar Saudi state and how it manifested in assembling a national archive and reordering urban space in Riyadh and Mecca. The elites’ project was rife with ironies: in Riyadh\, they employed world-renowned experts to fashion an imagined history\, while at the same time in Mecca they were overseeing the obliteration of a thousand-year-old topography and its replacement with commercial megaprojects. Archive Wars shows how the Saudi state’s response to the challenges of the Gulf War served to historicize a national space\, territorialize a national history\, and ultimately refract both through new modes of capital accumulation.\nDiscussants: Beshara Doumani\, Mahmoud Darwish Professor of Palestinian Studies\, Professor of History\, Brown University; Eve M. Trout-Powell\, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of History\, University of Pennsylvania; and Kirsten A. Weld\, Professor of History\, Harvard University \nModerator: Durba Mitra\, Assistant Professor\, Studies of Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality; Carol K. Pforzheimer Assistant Professor\, Radcliffe Institute\, Harvard University \nTuesday\, October 20\, 2020 || 12:00 to 1:30 pm ET \nOnline webinar; please register at https://bit.ly/3cHEues \nContact: Liz Flanagan\nEvent link: https://bit.ly/3cHEues

SUMMARY:Book Talk: “The Universal Enemy: Jihad\, Empire\, And The Challenge Of Solidarity”
DESCRIPTION:Darryl Li\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Social Sciences in the College\, and Lecturer in Law\, University of Chicago \nLi is the author of The Universal Enemy: Jihad\, Empire\, and the Challenge of Solidarity (Stanford University Press\, December 2019)\, which develops an ethnographic approach to the comparative study of universalism using the example of transnational “jihadists” — specifically\, Arabs and other foreigners who fought in the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia Herzegovina. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research conducted in Bosnia and a half-dozen other countries\, the monograph situates transnational jihads in relation to more powerful universalisms\, including socialist Non-Alignment\, United Nations peacekeeping\, and the U.S.-led “Global War on Terror.” He is at work on a second project on migrant military labor (frequently called “mercenaries” or “military contractors”) across the Indian Ocean. \n\n\n\nLi has participated in litigation arising from the “War on Terror” as party counsel\, amicus\, or expert witness\, including in Guantánamo habeas\, Alien Tort\, material support\, denaturalization\, immigration detention\, and asylum proceedings. He is a member of the New York and Illinois bars. \nCo-sponsors: Center for Middle Eastern Studies; Program in Islamic Law\, Harvard Law School\nContact: Liz Flanagan
