Translated Desires: Translation, Ibn al-ʿArabī, and the Multilingual Islamic Past
The writings of Ibn al-ʿArabi (d. 1240), one of the most influential Sufi Muslim theoreticians of the medieval period, touched all aspects of knowledge in Asia and Africa in the centuries after his death. This workshop will take as its objective a global history of translation and language in both the dissemination and reception of Ibn al-‘Arabi’s writings through discourse, music, and art.
