DESCRIPTION:January 7\, 2021\, 1:30 PM EST (UTC -5).\n\nDr. Dyala Hamzah\, 
 Université de Montréal\, will speak on:\n\n“(De)commissioning Ibn Khaldun?
  Sufis\, Statesmen and Publicists during the Long Nineteenth century”\n\nH
 osted on Zoom: Meeting ID: 89033587339\,\n	Passcode: 1234\n\nThe Keenan Cha
 ir of Interfaith Studies and the James McGill Professor of Islamic Philoso
 phy are collaborating in a reflection on religion\, Islam\, and cosmopolit
 anism associated with McGill’s academic tradition of Islamic Studies\, and
  epitomized by scholars such as Wilfred Cantwell Smith\, Fazlur Rahman\, a
 nd Toshihiko Izutsu. In preparation for the Keenan Conference on World Rel
 igions and Globalization\, to be held in Montreal in Spring 2022\, we are 
 hosting an online lecture series titled ReOrienting the Global Study of Re
 ligion: History\, Theory\, and Society.\n\nAbstract: The Ibn Khaldun of th
 e long 19th century is usually either conjured as a theoretical framework 
 in order to make sense of the venture of Islamic reform or broken down to 
 a cluster of atomized concepts which then one attempts to trace in the tho
 ught of said Islamic reformers. Both these readings partake in the uneasy 
 assumption of a “European discovery” of Ibn Khaldun\, and both obfuscate t
 he fact that while the 14th century historian did not advocate reform\, re
 formists had no vested interest in the discipline of history.\n\nTaking a 
 step back from the usual genealogies of Islamic reform\, this lecture expl
 ores the impact of such disjunctive readings on our reconstructions of ind
 ividual trajectories that made up this long 19th century. It posits that t
 he significance of their Khaldunian engagements by such Islamic entreprene
 urs as the mystic Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al-Sanusi (1787-1859)\, the statesman 
 Khayreddine Pasha (1822-1890) and the publicist Muhammad Rashid Rida (1865
 -1935) can only accrue if we problematize the extent to which Ibn Khaldun 
 had become naturalized by the time of the Tanzimat and the Nahda\, within 
 the so-called Ottoman center and its peripheries\, in sufi networks\, bure
 aucratic practice and the public sphere.\n\nDyala Hamzah is Associate Prof
 essor of Arab History\, Université de Montréal. She is the author of the f
 orthcoming Muhammad Rashid Rida ou le tournant salafiste (CNRS Éditions\, 
 2021) and editor of The Making of the Arab Intellectual (Routledge\, 2013)
