Krachkovsky (1883–1951) is one of the most important Oriental scholars of the 20th century and is considered the founder of modern Arabic studies in Russia. The German edition of his biography by Anna A. Dolinina (1923–2017) presents his eventful life and exciting academic career to the German-speaking readership. Numerous documents from the archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, including Kračkovskij's letters and diaries, form the basis of the study alongside the personal memories of the biographer. The book sheds light on the historical, political, and intellectual history of the development of Arabic studies in Russia in the first half of the 20th century.

The specialist contributions discuss multiple aspects of the literary polyphony of wine in the pre-modern Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Ottoman Turkish, and Urdu literatures during the first millennium of the Islamic era. Presenting these together and in dialogue with one another, the volume offers a comparative perspective on a long, varied, but singularly mutual tradition. It traces how this poetry develops, flourishes and matures across linguistic and geographic, confessional and social, aesthetic and artistic boundaries within the regions of the religiously and culturally diverse Islamic world, from al-Andalūs to India.

Some of the earliest attestations of Arabic khamriyyāt are attributed to ʿAdī ibn Zayd al-ʿIbādī, an outstanding early Arab poet from al-Ḥīra who lived in the second half of the sixth century. This chapter focuses on two texts by ʿAdī Ibn Zayd, poems XI and XIII in his dīwān, 1 providing examples of his treatment of the wine theme. The discussion of both texts reveals the gradual process of the "emancipation" of Arabic wine song, initially part of the qaṣīda, to an independent poetic genre.

Kirill Dmitriev & Isabel Toral-Niehoff (Editors)
The term ‘religious culture’ has often been used in relation to specific theological systems and ritual practices, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Manichaeism. In this edited volume, a group of internationally renowned scholars have addressed this concept in a more comprehensive sense, focusing on what one might call the Late Antique religious mind. The present volume sets out to emphasise the common religious attitudes and world- views rooted in late antiquity, including various monotheistic and other, pagan attitudes that existed within the orbit of the emerging Islam. The contributors to the volume are: Konstantin Klein, Martin Tamcke, Kirill Dmitriev, Cornelia Horn, Bruno Paoli, Greg Fisher, Mattia Guidetti, Christian Robin, and Francis Breyer.

One could argue that, as in many other cultures, in its origins Arabic poetry was closely related to magical practices, one could point to the function of poetry in the cult of mourning or refer to numerous attestations of oaths in poetry and to texts containing Biblical motifs and references to Jews and Christians. Nonetheless, against the background of several other Near Eastern literatures, formed to a great extent by rich traditions of liturgical poetry, the transmitted works of early Arabic poetry do indeed appear free from any religious connotations, something which has been interpreted as indicating “that the Arab of Central Arabia, in the days before al-Islâm, interested himself little in religion of any sort”. The jahiliyyah concept, that draws a clear line of demarcation between pre-Islamic and Islamic cultural history, seems to find its confirmation here and in return, allows one to exclude the early Arabic literary trad...

Food as a Cultural Signifier
International & Interdisciplinary Conference of the
Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA)
12-14 May 2016
Auditorium B1/College Hall
American University of Beirut
In recent years, food has increasingly received attention in the humanities and social sciences. Food scandals, global environmental problems, and the change of foodways through migration, but also the increasing importance of food to self-fashioning in Europe and North America, have helped propel food, once considered a topic too marginal for research in the humanities, to the centre of attention in various disciplines, as well as in the general public. Major events at the interface of research and society, such as the EXPO 2015 with its core theme “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”, but also the “International Forum on Food Fabrication” in Beirut in early 2015, have offered a forum for exchange between research and public concerns. While these events were largely concerned with present-day debates around food, our conference will shed light both on the past and present of food in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Arab world, showing that many of the concerns about food voiced today, such as purity, impact on health, importance in processes of subjectivation, relationship with gender, race, and other “imagined communities” (Benedict Anderson), as well as questions of food, drink and morality, can look back on a long history.

Die von Mitgliedern der AGYA working group “Common Heritage and Common Challenges” organisierte Konferenz “Insatiable Appetite” untersucht Essen als kulturellen Bedeutungsträger zwischen Europa, dem Mittelmeer und den Ländern der arabischen Welt aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive. In sieben thematisch organisierten Panels treten HistorikerInnen, Anthropologen, Islamwissenschaftler, ArabistInnen, eine Journalistin und eine Hebraistin in interdisziplinären Austausch über ein in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften lange vernachlässigtes Thema von unmittelbarer Relevanz für die globalisierte Gegenwart. Ein conference dinner führt den Teilnehmenden die kulinarische Entwicklung in Vorderasien von Byzanz bis zu den Osmanen vor Augen – und zum Munde. Diese öffentlich stattfindende Veranstaltung hat gleichzeitig outreach-Charakter. Eine in Kooperation mit der Food Heritage Foundation, einer lokalen NGO, entwickelte Exkursion entlang des Food Heritage Trail vervollständigt das Bild bis in die Gegenwart hinein. Beirut bietet sich besonders als Ort für diese Konferenz an. Mit der American University of Beirut ist die Arab-German Young Academy seit kurzem auch institutionell verbunden. Am ebenfalls in die Konferenz eingebundenen Orient Institut der Max Weber Gesellschaft liegt der Forschungsschwerpunkt mehrerer WissenschaftlerInnen auf der Geschichte von Hunger und Ernährung. Zudem hat das Institut 2015 das Beirut Food Forum organisiert., das jedoch – anders als die AGYA-Konferenz – gegenwartsorientiert war. Neben der institutionellen Vernetzung soll die Konferenz der Vernetzung deutscher und arabischer NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen aus verschidedenen Disziplinen der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften dienen.
