3rd Duke-UNC Graduate Student Conference on Islamic Studies
"Translating Islam"
(http://www.unc.edu/mideast/conf2006/conf2006.htm)
Conference Dates: April 14-15, 2006
Submission Deadline: March 5, 2006 (Extended from previous deadline of =
Feb. 15)
The aim of this conference is to explore ways in which the issue of =
translation figures in theories, methodologies, ethnographic and =
historiographic dimensions of the study of Islam and Muslim societies. =
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the question of =
translation across the humanities and in the social sciences. The =
linguistic and cultural turn that has shaped the modern formation of =
interpretive studies currently pushes toward further engagement with =
issues of translation, namely how concepts, ideas and practices are =
related to a more complex substrate in culture. In a more radical way, =
the theoretical frameworks derived from post-structuralism and =
post-colonial studies equate the ideal of translatability with that of =
universality.
We invite paper as well as panel proposals that deal with the following =
questions, which are not exhaustive:
* How do Islamicate cultural and intellectual discourses engage =
in translation both within and between traditions?
* How does the analytic of translation shape comparative studies =
on Islam?
* What role does translation play in the exegesis, reception and =
transmission of Islamic textual archives?
* What kind of translation strategies are embedded in =
contemporary discourses on Islam?
Suggested topics include:
* translating Islamic normativities across time and space
* translating the Quran in content and form
* translation in Western scholarship on Islam
* Muslim modernism and the translation of Enlightenment concepts
* translation and Muslim networks
* theories of translation in Sufism
* ethics, law and politics in translation
The conference will proceed in an interactive workshop format. We expect =
that those invited to present papers will remain for the duration of the =
conference in order to engage the work of other participants. =
Proceedings will be held on the Duke University campus in Durham, NC, =
USA.
To apply, please send 1) a proposal up to five-hundred words 2) a paper =
title and 3) a CV to Cate Mills (cate.mills@duke.edu). The deadline for =
submissions is March 5, 2006.
