With this promise came an injunction: define yourself as you truly are, as an individual, and as a community. Almost two decades later it is clear that it was less the prospect of that future than the habits and horizons of anxious life in racially defined enclaves that determined postapartheid freedom. In this book, Thomas Blom Hansen offers an in-depth analysis of the uncertainties, dreams, and anxieties that have accompanied postapartheid freedoms in Chatsworth, a formerly Indian township in Durban. Exploring five decades of township life, Hansen tells the stories of ordinary Indians whose lives were racialized and framed by the township, and how these residents domesticated and inhabited this urban space and its institutions, during apartheid and after. Hansen demonstrates the complex and ambivalent nature of ordinary township life. While the ideology of apartheid was widely rejected, its practical institutions, from urban planning to houses, schools, and religious spaces, were embraced in order to remake the community. Hansen describes how the racial segmentation of South African society still informs daily life, notions of race, personhood, morality, and religious ethics. He also demonstrates the force of global religious imaginings that promise a universal and inclusive community amid uncertain lives and futures in the postapartheid nation-state.East IndiansSouth AfricaDurbanChatsworth (Durban, South Africa)Race relationsChatsworth (Durban, South Africa)Social conditionsChatsworth (Durban, South Africa)ReligionDurban (South Africa)Race relationsDurban (South Africa)Social conditionsDurban (South Africa)ReligionAfricans.Asiatic question.Bollywood films.Chatsworth.Durban.Hinduism.Indian life.Indian middle class.Indian township.Indian townships.Indian.Indians.Jacob Zuma.Muslims.Natal.Pentecostal Christianity.South Africa.South African Indians.South Africans.ambition.apartheid regulation.apartheid.autonomy.charou.church communities.colonialism.coolie.cultural economy.cultural intimacy.cultural mobility.culturally alien people.cynicism.diasporic imagination.disengagement.ethnoracial definition.kombi taxi.majoritarianism.minorities.neo-Hindu movements.non-African communities.policy makers.politics.postapartheid city.postapartheid freedom.postapartheid society.postapartheid.private taxi industry.public culture.race lines.racial practices.racial segregation.racialized identities.racism.religious identity.religious purification.representative politics.roots tourism.social activists.social mobility.spiritual purification.township politics.traditional conservatism.urban landscape.urban music.working-class Indians.youth culture.East Indians305.891/41068455Hansen Thomas Blom1958-276734MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790955303321Melancholia of freedom3675357UNINA03761oam 22009494a 450 99631264100331620240424230111.00-520-29801-210.1525/luminos.54(CKB)4100000006520613(OAPEN)1000457(DE-B1597)539704(OCoLC)1029780425(DE-B1597)9780520970144(MdBmJHUP)muse72960(ScCtBLL)fae0ce2d-72b2-4d36-b4ed-cc62cede9eab(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36762(EXLCZ)99410000000652061320180309d2018 uy 0engurmu#---auuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLanguage between God and the PoetsMa‘na in the Eleventh Century /Alexander KeyOaklandUniversity of California Press2018Oakland, California :University of California Press,[2018]©[2018]1 online resource (xvi, 280 pages) PDF, digital file(s)Berkeley series in postclassical islamic scholarship ;2Print version: 9780520298019 Includes bibliographical references and index.Note on translation practice, transliterations, and footnotes -- Contexts -- Precedents -- Translation -- The lexicon -- Theology -- Logic -- Poetics -- Conclusion."In the Arabic eleventh century, scholars were intensely preoccupied with the way that language generated truth and beauty. Their work in poetics, logic, theology, and lexicography defined the intellectual space between God and the poets. In Language Between God and the Poets, Alexander Key argues that ar-Raghib al-Isfahani, Ibn Furak, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani shared a conceptual vocabulary based around the words ma'na and haqiqah. They used this vocabulary to build theories of language, mind, and reality that answered perennial questions: how to structure language and reference, how to describe God, how to construct logical arguments, and how to explain poetic affect."--Provided by publisherBerkeley series in postclassical Islamic scholarship ;2.Arabic languageReligious aspectsIslamIslamic poetry11th centuryIslamic philosophy11th centuryElectronic books. abd al qahir al jurjani.answers.ar raghib al isfahani.arabic.avicenna.beauty.conceptual vocabulary.describing god.eleventh century.god.haquqah.ibn furak.ibn sina.intellectual space.language and reference.language.lexicography.logic.logical arguments.ma na.mind.muslim.perennial questions.poetic affect.poetics.poets.reality.religion.scholars.theology.theories of language.truth.Arabic languageReligious aspectsIslam.Islamic poetryIslamic philosophy181/.92Key Alexander(Alexander Matthew),1022172MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996312641003316Language between God and the Poets2427862UNISA
