Before Archaeology. The Meaning of the Past in the Premodern Islamic Thought (and After)
06 Curatela
The volume aims at exploring the multifaceted modalities with which classical and pre-modern Islamic thought has imagined and narrated the past, developing from different points of view – literary, historical, philological, political, religious, or at the level of collective imagination – an intellectual and interpretive attitude to the past, and articulating a complex discourse on antiquity, its memory and its persistence in the cultural and geographical spaces of the Muslim Near East.
