The Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, University of Tokyo, in collaboration with the Department of Islamic Studies at the University of Bonn and the Japan Office of the Association for the Study of Persianate Societies, is organizing a workshop entitled “Genealogies in Motion: Recording, Visualizing, and Mobilizing Lineage across the Islamicate World.” The workshop examines the practice of genealogy writing and approaches genealogies as both material and intellectual artifacts, analyzing them from technical, social, and ideological perspectives. It focuses on three types of genealogies associated with distinct milieus: sayyid/sharīf genealogies, dynastic genealogies, and Sufi genealogies.
Participants are kindly requested to pre-register for either in-person or online attendance.
