Tuesday (6a)
Sufism
Due today
- ALL OVERDUE WORK DUE! Please Catch Up! I went to grade your assignments this weekend but found that I have received less than half of submissions thus far. Today is amnesty day on late penalties. Please submit all overdue work by today, via eClass. Note: in Reading Reports: you should do two things: (a) show me that you've actually done the reading - what is it about, what is its scope, what are the main points? Then (b) critique. Position it within a broader context. Why is it written (or filmed...) the way it is? Who is writing, for whom, when, and why? How is it biased by these contextual factors? Can you address any such biases?
- New assignment: (I'm keeping it short because I want you to catch up on overdue work)
Class
- Today, We'll discuss your assignments from last Tuesday and Thursday:
- Examples of classical sources (e.g. Qur'an, Hadith, and other early texts) supporting or rejecting sama` and music; be prepared to present them.
- Examples of contemporary sources supporting or rejecting sama` and music; be prepared to present them.
- Introduce your proposed research projects if you haven't already done so.
