IDEO's Seminar: From political to historiographical use of poetry
Monday, April 30th, 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm — place

The aim of this talk is to construe the role of poetry in the writing of the history of Ḫālid ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Qasrī in order to underline, first, from the historical composition point of view, the role played by poetry and its relationship with prose in the narrative sources. Second, from a historical point of view, I mean to understand the role of the poet and his poetry in the entourage of the umayyad governor and therefore regarding the transmission of his memory.
