SUMMARY:Event: "Why Yemen Matters: The Heritage of a Land in Crisis\," Princeton University
DESCRIPTION:Why Yemen Matters: The Heritage of a Land in Crisis Wednesday\, February 19\, 2020\, 5-6:30 pmWhite-Levy Room\, Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton\, NJYemen’s war and humanitarian crisis are in the news\, but very little is known about the rich cultural heritage of the southwestern corner of Arabia throughout history. Also largely unknown are Yemen’s geographic and economic diversity or their impact on recent events. Yemen’s diversity owes much to conquest\, trade\, and migration between Yemen and Christian Ethiopia\, Sassanian and Islamic Iran\, Fatimid and Ayyubid Egypt\, Ottoman Turkey\, the African coast and Southeast Asia. In this panel experts on different periods of Yemeni history and its diverse contemporary contexts probe beyond current politics to share their insights and discuss potentials for future scholarly research on Yemen.Panelists\, currently scholars at IAS\, include: historians of antiquity\, Glen Bowersock (IAS) and Christian Robin (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique\, Paris)\, and of the Islamic era\, Hassan Ansari (IAS)\, Sabine Schmidtke (IAS)\, Daniel Varisco (American Institute for Yemeni Studies)\, and anthropologists Najwa Adra (IAS) and Nathalie Peutz (New York University Abu Dhabi). This event is part of the Near Eastern Studies Workshops sponsored by Professor Sabine Schmidtke (IAS).RSVP to nitschke@ias.edu.

SUMMARY:Call for Proposals: Colophons in Middle Eastern Manuscripts Workshop (12-13 Jun\, 2020 | Princeton)
DESCRIPTION:Colophons in Middle Eastern Manuscripts WorkshopVenue Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton (White Levy Room)Date: June 12–13\, 2020Conveners: Sabine Schmidtke and George A. Kiraz (Institute for Advanced Study)The colophon\, the ultimate or “crowing touch” paragraphs of a manuscript\, provides readers with a the historical context in which the scribe produced the manuscript. At its most fundamental level\, the colophon gives us the “metadata” of the manuscript: who was the scribe? When and where was the manuscript produced? For whom was it produced and who paid for it?But colophons are far more rich. They are literary works on their own right\, having a style and rhetoric independent of the main literary text of the manuscript. In addition\, colophons provide historical facts otherwise lost to histories: wars\, earthquakes\, religious events\, etc.The aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars from various disciplines to study colophons in Middle Eastern manuscripts in various languages\, including\, but not limited to\, Arabic\, Armenian\, Coptic\, Ethiopian\,* Hebrew\, Persian\, and Syriac. Topics may include: The colophon as a literary genre. Typology of colophons. The formulaic structure of colophons. Factoids found in colophons. How can colophons or confirm help us reconstruct historical events? Colophons born in print publications or born digital.Scholars interested in participating may send via email a proposal between 750 and 1\,000 words. Proposals are to focus on the colophon (i.e. not a study of the main literary text of the manuscript). Comparative analyses across traditions is encouraged but not required.Submission deadline is January 15\, 2020. Submissions are to be sent via email directly to George A. Kiraz at gkiraz@ias.edu.Scholars are expected to fund their travel to/from and accommodation in Princeton. The Institute will provide meals and a conference celebratory dinner. Speakers will be invited to contribute to a collected volume on an agreed-upon theme.
