SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Family Archives and Female Spaces of Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:In early modern Islamic history\, women are often excluded from the historical record\, leaving gaps in our understanding of gendered experiences. Professor Babayan explores gendered literacy and female friendship through a seventeenth-century anthology preserved in the library of the Urdubadi family\, a household of poets and bureaucrats in Safavid\, Iran. She argues that this anthology functions as a family archive\, making visible the social world of the household in which it was compiled. Central to this archive is the role of a female family member\, a widow of the Urdubadi\, household whose pilgrimage to Mecca is documented alongside expressions of love for a female companion who was forced to leave Isfahan due to circulating rumors about their relationship. Through this case\, Professor Babayan highlights how a ritual of sisterhood reveals an empathetic community and expands our understanding of premodern female friendships.\n   \nKathryn Babayan specializes in the social history and culture of the early-modern Persianate world\, gender studies\, and the history of sexuality. She has been awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for 2024-25. Babayan is the author of two award-winning books\, *Mystics\, Monarchs and Messiahs: Cultural Landscapes of Early Modern Iran* (Cambridge\, MA: Harvard University Press\, 2003)\, and *The City as Anthology: Eroticism & Urbanity in Early Modern Isfahan* (Stanford: Stanford University Press\, 2021). Babayan has also co-authored *Slaves of the Shah: New Elites of Safavid Iran*\, with Sussan Babaie\, Ina Baghdiantz-McCabe\, and Massumeh Farhad (London: I.B. Tauris\, 2004)\, and co-edited two books: *Islamicate Sexualities: Translations Across Temporal Geographies of Desire* with Afsaneh Najmabadi (Cambridge\, MA: Harvard University Press\, 2008)\, and *An Armenian Mediterranean: Words and Worlds in Motion* with Michael Pifer (Cham\, Switzerland: Palgarve Macmillan\, 2018).\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.
