[Csrundergrad] No More Than A Page 11/14

[Moriarty, Megan]

In two weeks: The next installment in our "No More Than A Page" series is on Tuesday, November 14 at 4 pm in 198 Hagerty Hall.


For November's event, Zari Mahmoudi will present "Ṣūfī Women and Chivalric Spirituality Gendered Piety and Spiritual Authority in the writings of Farīd al-Dīn ʿAṭṭār (ca. 1145-1221) and Jāmī (1414-1492)." Zari is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures.


Medieval Islamic mysticism, also known as Ṣūfism, created spiritual practices, institutions, and literary works that fostered and cultivated competing visions of the ideal spiritual path in the Islamic world. Muslim mystics embedded the ideals of these visions within spiritual hierarchies between masters and disciples, institutions such as Ṣūfī lodges and brotherhoods, and literary works like anthologies of poetry and the hagiographic tales of pious exemplars. As most of these mystics were men, they characterized their ideal spiritual path as the acme of manly virtues, a chivalric piety they called “youthful manliness” ( futuwwah in Arabic and javānmardī in Persian). Zari will delve deeply into all the examples of Sufi women, their existence, and their role in Tazkirat al-Awliā by Attār (12th century) and Nafahāt al-Uns Min Haḍarāt al-Quds by Jāmi (15th century).


This in-person event is free and open to the public.
