SUMMARY:Genres and Disciplines of Learning in Judaeo-Arabic Literature
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Sarah Stroumsa and Ronny Vollandt\, on behalf of the Society for Judaeo- Arabic Studies\nOrganized by Friederike S. Schmidt and Gregor Schwarb. \nThe emergence of Judaeo-Arabic literature was related to new ways of organizing and transmitting knowledge. The introduction of new disciplines went hand in hand with the development of new teaching methods and textual practices\, as well as the adoption of new literary genres and novel concepts of authorship. These changes had begun in the 9th century but developed mainly over the course of the 10th and the 11th centuries. They had a lasting effect on Jewish literature ever since. Disciplines of learning emerged that had no precedent in rabbinic literature\, such as lexicography\, grammar\, literary theory\, scriptural exegesis\, jurisprudence\, theology\, and philosophy. They reflected contemporaneous developments in non-Jewish literatures and brought along a host of new technical terms and concepts in Arabic. \nWe understand genres and disciplines of learning as dynamic structures that are never fixed and static\, but continuously interact with the reading public\, the social environment\, the literary canon\, and with other texts. \nThe Society of Judaeo-Arabic Studies\, therefore\, invites to the 21st conference of the Society for Judaeo-Arabic Studies Genres and disciplines of learning in Judaeo-Arabic literature (Munich\, 31st of July – 3rd of August 2023)\, a conference on the nature\, development and formation of genres and disciplines of knowledge in Judaeo-Arabic literature. \nThe conference will take place at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich.\n \n  \nPROGRAMME\n  \nMonday\, 31st of July\n10:00 am – 12:00 am \nWalking tour (“Jewish Munich”) \n  \n12:00 am – 1:00 pm \nGet-together at the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies (Veterinärstr. 1) plus light lunch \n  \n2:00 pm \nVenue: Center for Advanced Studies (Seestraße 13) \n  \nWelcome \n  \nTranscending Communal Boundaries (I) \n2:15 pm – 3:45 pm \n  \nPanel I \nChair: Sarah Stroumsa (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) \nDaniel J.
