About this Event
Registration only required for lunch.
The concept of relationality has been defined by political theologist Fannie Bialek “as a critical term, [that] rejects individualist conceptions of the self and subject for a conception of the self as made by its relations with others, such that there may be no ‘I’ without ‘you’ or ‘us.’ " Relationality is not only about being in relation with others, but also about being constituted by others, not only at the individual’s level but also in inter-group relationships as well. Applying this concept to the field of music in Islamic lands, the symposium explores how relationships fostered by music-making have crossed ethnonational and confesional lines destabilizing nation- and religion-centered narratives.
