> Following a recent shift of focus from "ritual thinking" to "ritual
> action" in contemporary studies of religion, the Orient-Institut Beirut
> plans a conference which focuses on the relationship between textual
> traditions and ritual practice in Islam. One of the main questions
> concerns how theological concepts are transformed into religious practice
> – and vice versa. The conference aims at bridging disciplinary barriers
> between philologically grounded and fieldwork-based studies on Islam.
> Religion is not only constituted by texts but by experiences which involve
> multi-layered perceptions: visual, acoustic, kinaesthetic, olfactory, and
> others. Nevertheless, texts play an important role in religion, especially
> in Islam which has a long and highly esteemed textual tradition: a
> revealed script, commentaries, theological treatises, handbooks for law
> and ritual, texts in praise for God and the prophet, elegies, and prayers,
> to name a few. What is the relationship between texts and their believers?
> How are they delivered, performed, staged? Who takes part in this process?
> How do texts shape daily religious life? How are borders, if any,
> perceived between piety and entertainment?
>
> Particular topics of interest include:
>
> • The performance of texts (e.g. liturgy, sermons, popular preaching,
> mada'ih) Questions may include the musical sound, formal characteristics,
> the relationship between reciters and listeners, and the function of the
> performance.
>
> • Changing contexts Changing contexts may include migration and cultural
> transformations, but the question of context touches also questions of the
> public/private, profane/sacred dichotomies.
>
> • Definitions and classifications Does a stronger focus on ritual action
> make it necessary to re-evaluate our definitions and categories?
>
> Papers on historical as well as contemporary research are welcome.
> Abstracts of about 200-300 words should be sent to Ines Weinrich

> Participation in the workshop offers the opportunity to refine ideas and

>
> Examples of possible topics include:
>
> • Livelihood: the emotional textures of economic life
> • Identity: the happiness and sadness of being Taiwanese
> • The culture and literature of happiness and loss
> • Politics and emotional intensity
> • Urban design, transportation and the sense of emotional security
> • Media: representing the emotional textures of everyday life
> • Construction of social collectivity through emotional ideologies

>
> In the history of Chinese and European philosophy, metaphysics has played
> an outstanding role: it is a theoretical framework which provides the
> basis for a philosophical understanding of the world and the self. A
> theory of the self is well integrated in a metaphysical understanding of
> the totality of nature as a dynamic process of continuous changes.
> According to this view, the purpose of existence can be conceived of as
> the development and realization of the full potential given to the
> individual by its nature. In regard to human nature specifically, this
> idea of self-realization includes the development of all cognitive
> faculties as well as of the moral character.
>
> Metaphysics has, however, suffered a loss of importance in current
> debates, especially in ethics. As a result, we observe the emergence of
> such philosophical views as moral skepticism and even nihilism. The
> consequence of this tendency has been the renunciation of a claim to
> understanding and to providing a solid ground for ethics. Yet an
> intercultural dialogue can provide us with some hope as the consolidation
> of debates on crucial topics of our traditions might indeed serve as the
> basis for a more powerful philosophy in the future.

> Kritika Kultura
>
> Call for Papers Date: 2012-02-01
> Date Submitted: 2011-05-26
> Announcement ID: 185510
>
> To the rare extent to which Philippine literature in Spanish is recognized
> to exist, the tradition is almost entirely identified with the life and
> oeuvre of José Rizal, the late-19th century author of the novels Noli me
> tangere and El filibusterismo and the poem "Mi último adiós." The
> appearance of Filipino fiction and poetry in Spanish precedes Rizal,
> however, and creative publications in other genres as well thrived in
> diverse and continuous ways for many decades thereafter.
>
> In the past century, a scattering of published surveys and graduate theses
> has sought to describe the key authors and texts of Philippine literature
> in Spanish, but virtually no sustained analytical scholarship on
> particular literary works, outside those by Rizal, has been produced. The
> object of this Forum Kritika is to encourage the creation of such a
> critical corpus and thereby initiate long-lasting investigations into the
> tradition, perhaps the most unknown in the Spanish-speaking world and
> among all Asian literatures in Western languages.
>
> Kritika Kultura will publish four to six papers on Philippine literature
> in Spanish in the August 2012 or February 2013 issue. All topics on
> specific texts of the tradition are welcome, but in order to diversify the
> existing range of scholarship, authors are urged to submit essays that do
> not focus exclusively on Rizal. Theoretical and/or comparative approaches
> to texts are particularly welcome, as are essays on any literature,
> defined broadly, produced in Chabacano in any of its variants
> (Zamboangueño, Caviteño, Ermitaño, etc.).
>
> All submissions will be subject to peer review. Essays should be 5000-7000
> words long and submitted as a Word document to Adam Lifshey, guest editor
> of this Forum Kritika, at AML58@georgetown.edu by February 1, 2012. An
> abstract of 250-400 words should accompany each submission. Regarding
> style and format, all essays should follow the guidelines of the most
> recent MLA handbook.
>
> Kritika Kultura is a refereed electronic journal of the Ateneo de Manila
> University and is available at
>
> http://kritikakultura.ateneo.net/.
> It is indexed by the MLA and other major databases.
