In Quest of a Proper Polity: Political Discourses in the Early Abbasid
Period

Co-organized by the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, the University
of Tokyo, the Kakenhi Project “Kingship and Legitimacy of the Islamic
Dynasties: In the Context of Early Modern History,” and the Kakenhi Project
“Antiquity Inherited, Antiquity Invented: The Case of Medieval Middle East,”
with the support of the Japan Office of the Association for the Study of
Persianate Societies

The Abbasid Revolution and the first century of the Abbasid rule represent a
dynamic period of experimentations in quest of a sustainable Islamic polity
and discourses to legitimize it. With two presentations that approach less
utilized source materials with cutting-edge research questions, this seminar
will shed fresh light on aspects of the experimentations that were under way
in that crucial period of Islamic history.

Date and Time: January 11 (Mon), 2016, 10:15-13:00

Venue: Room 303, Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia (Tobunken), the
University of Tokyo (Hongo Campus;

Abstracts

Manabu Kameya
Titles for Early Abbasid Caliphs: Tracing Their Evolution from Documentary
Sources
Documentary source (in the context of early Islamic history, it includes
papyrus documents, epigraphy, inscriptions of coins) is one of the most
important sources for the studies on the early Abbasid history, because of
the scarcity of the extant contemporary historiography, same as the case of
the Umayyad. Accordingly, a study based on documentary sources must be a
good starting point for the analysis of the early Abbasid Caliphate. In this
paper, I discuss the changing of the titles of the early Abbasid Caliphs and
what they claimed by adopting those titles, based on the investigation
through documentary sources. It will elucidate the evolution of titles for
Abbasid Caliphs, such as “al-Mahdī”, “al-Imām”, “Khalīfat Allāh”,
“al-Khalīfa” and the Laqabs of each of the Caliphs, and make clear that it
corresponded to the religio-political situation and its ideological
background in the early Abbasid period.

Hayrettin Yücesoy
Mapping a Political Landscape: Ibn al-Muqaffa and the Contending Visions of
Politics in the Abbasid 8th Century
The passing of the Umayyad rule was not simply a mere substitution of one
dynasty for another at the very helm of the empire, but rather it was a
collapse of relations, structures, and mental categories about the lived
reality. This significant event and the critical decades following it offer
us a chance to examine how the early Abbasids reimagined the post-Umayyad
world and structured a new web of socio-economic, and political relations to
support their ambitions. In this lecture Dr. Yücesoy will address Ibn
al-Muqaffa's well-known, but still understudied, the Epistle on Court
Companions as a record demonstrating a subaltern imperial scribe’s
participation in the process of empire building by mapping out from ground
zero, “the day after” the revolution so-to-speak, the human, geographic, and
material topography of the empire as an administrable and controllable
political territory.

The seminar is open to public and free of charge. No registration is
required.
