OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Emotion in Christian and Islamic Contemplative Texts, 1100-1250 – Ayoush Lazikani
In this talk, Ayoush Lazikani (Oxford) will speak about her book published this summer, Cry of the Turtledove: Emotion in Christian and Islamic Contemplative Texts, 1100-1250 (Palgrave’s New Middle Ages Series). She will talk about the motivations and approaches that informed this comparative project, and share some of her findings on the texts. After an overview of the rationale behind this project (including discussion of cross-cultural contact during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries), Ayoush will zoom into the Arabic and English texts she has focused on. There will be particular attention to the poetry of Sufi Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari and the anonymous prose meditation known as the Wooing of Our Lord.
