The 16th Arabic Papyrology Webclass: Arabic Documents Referring to Jerusalem

Permanent link: http://www.naher-osten.lmu.de/apw

Layout

  • Although literary sources provide a very rich image of Muslim Jerusalem (7th-16th centuries), they mostly focus on religious buildings and feasts. In contrast to this, papyri and papers have a clear interest in routine economy. In order to  understand how markets and main streets worked; what houses and garden looked like; where food and water came from; how immigrants and residents interacted, etc., we will combine both. 
  • We will read (mostly published) documents and discuss recents scholarship.

Mode

  • This is an on-line webclass. Documents to be read and papers to be discussed will be made accessible in advance.
  • Communication will be in English.

Lecturer

  • Professor Andreas Kaplony, LMU Munich, Chair of Arabic and Islamic Studies; co-director of the LMU Arabic Papyrology Research Group (www.naher-osten.lmu.de/papyrology).

Time

  • Monday, 4:00-6:00 (Central European Time); time might be changed, if all participants agree.
  • 16 April - 9 July 2018; no class on 21 May 2018.

Certificate

  • A certificate of participation will be given if the student has attended at least ten meetings and if he or she has met the expectances as defined at the beginning of the semester.
  • The Arabic Papyrology Webclass forms part of the Webinar Initiative in Islamic Material Culture (www.islamic-material-culture.uni-hamburg.de).

Participants

  • MA and PhD students in Arabic and in Near Eastern Studies; sscholars interested in Arabic documents; persons in charge of Arabic manuscript collections, etc.

Technical issues

  • Students need a computer (download), internet access, and a headset. 
  • Technical problems showing up during the semester that prevent a student from attending the class are subject to his or her own responsibility; therefore, missed classes will not be substituted. However, if a technical event prevents all students from participating, the class will be substituted.
  • New participants will have a personal preparatory meeting, to adjust technical assets.
