Guest Lecture: Aomar Boum
"The Performance of Toleration: Communities of Tolerance and the Festivalization of Interfaith Dialogue in the Arab World"
This event is co-sponsored by: Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies
Jewish Studies
This talk discusses the contemporary use of the historical memory of interfaith toleration in al-Andalus by Arab leaders. It examines paradigmatic examples of the socio-cultural practice in Contemporary Morocco (other examples from Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Jordan are cited as well). The speaker also critiques the practices as restricted to socio-political elites and as such having limited effect on the general conduct of productive interfaith interaction in the Arab world.
