The Imprint of the Era in the Adab of the Times: Circulation and the Persianate at Empire’s End with Presenter Mana Kia, Columbia University and Discussant Sunil Sharma, Boston University

In this Adab Colloquium, Dr Mana Kia will discuss her paper examining the relation between material circulation of texts, commemorations of collectives, and transregional social imaginaries at the end of Persianate empires between Iran and India. Beginning with imperial apogee at the end of the seventeenth century, her paper traces imprints of subsequent social and political fragmentation on the form (adab) of tazkirah writing and transregional connections.

This event will take place online over Zoom. To RSVP and receive the link to join and a copy of the pre-circulated paper please contact Katherine von Ofenheim at kev2122@columbia.edu.
