SUMMARY:Thinking about Dastan-e Amir Hamza
DESCRIPTION:<p>	<em>Tellings, Translations, and the Uncanny: Thinking about</em> Dastan-e Amir Hamza, featuring Mariam Zia (Lahore School of Economics; Fellow at the South Asia Institute) in conversation with Ali Asani (Harvard University). Sponsored by the Harvard University Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute; please RSVP <a data-url="https://mittalsouthasiainstitute.harvard.edu/event/tellings-translations-and-the-uncanny-thinking-about-dastan-e-amir-hamza/" href="https://mittalsouthasiainstitute.harvard.edu/event/tellings-translations-and-the-uncanny-thinking-about-dastan-e-amir-hamza/" target="_blank" title="">here</a>.</p><!--break--><p>	<em>Ostensibly based on the life and legendary exploits of Prophet Muhammad’s uncle, Hamza ibn Abd-al Muttalib (566-625 C.E.), the </em>Dastan-e Amir Hamza <em>depicts a fantastical world of talismans and jinn, war and jihad, treachery and trickery, and the mightiest force of them all: Fate. Spanning 46 volumes, this Indo-Persian epic rivals </em>The Arabian Nights<em>. Famed the world over through the Hamzanama miniature paintings (1562-1577), it speaks to art history, fairy-tale and fantasy studies, literary and critical theory, and translation studies.</em></p><p>	 </p>
