DESCRIPTION:The Old Women of Nishapur Initiative\,\n\nThe Institute of Isla
 mic Studies and The Department of Anthropology\n\ninvite you to a public t
 alk\n\n \n\nMana Kia (Columbia University)\n\nRe-Personalizing the State: 
 Persianate Sociability as Political Ethic\n\nThis talk shows the central r
 ole of social bonds\, the intimacy that defined them\, and forms of sociab
 ility they engendered as constituting the very possibility of good governa
 nce just before colonial rule. I read the specific context of 18th century
  Hindustan against a deeper history of Persianate and Islamic concepts and
  traditions of friendship and service. Persianate polities cohered around 
 hierarchically structured social bonds linking individuals and groups mark
 ed by dissimilar origins\, religious affiliations\, social locations\, occ
 upational groupings\, and claims to power. I argue that forms of sociabili
 ty that engendered such bonds constituted the very ground of the political
  and must be part of any consideration of what the state was before coloni
 al rule.\n\nMana Kia will also hold a discussion seminar on Wed November 6
  at 2:30 pm\, get in touch with setrag.manoukian [at] mcgill.ca for detail
