  Waqf: Modern State Control and Nationalization

  Second Law of Waqf Conference

  Following the first of three conferences on "The Law of Waqf" organised by Harvard Islamic Legal Studies Program which concentrated on the legal origins of waqf to Ottoman-era maturity (convened in May 2006), we are now solliciting abstracts for the second conference which will focus on colonial era law in relation to waqf (mid 19th century to the end of the colonial period). Both indigeneous and colonial law relating to the legal system of waqf are of interest to this conference which will occur in Cambridge, Mass., on 16-18 May 2008. All abstracts and papers are to be in English.

  Begetters of Revolution? Shelburne and the Bowood Circle Reappraised

  A Symposium in memory of Derek Jarrett at Sherborne School

  William Shelburne, premier marquis de Lansdowne (1737-1805), est un personnage à part dans l’histoire politique britannique : homme d’Etat, mais aussi penseur et protecteur de penseurs et de philosophes. Ce symposium qui rassemblera des intervenants français et britanniques s’attachera à retracer sa carrière politique au gouvernement ou dans l’opposition ainsi que son attitude vis-à-vis de la Révolution française. Les points suivants seront abordés : ses relations avec la France et Genève (Etienne Dumont, en particulier), son rôle lors des négociations du Traité de Paris en 1783, ses liens avec le milieu non-conformiste en Grande-Bretagne ainsi qu’avec le philosophe Jeremy Bentham. Ce symposium s’inscrit dans une réflexion plus générale sur l’histoire comparée de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne, à travers un hommage à l’historien Derek Jarrett. La rencontre prévoit également des visites du château et des jardins de Bowood.

  Power

  Durham University, 13-16 July 2007

  How was power exercised, implicitly and explicitly, in the centuries of the medieval and Renaissance eras? How was it displayed and performed, theorised, ritualised, romanticised, codified, sanctified or opposed? The conference will consider questions such as these in a sequence of interdisciplinary sessions covering the full span of the periods and looking at social contexts ranging from the medieval republic of Iceland to the imperial courts of Renaissance Europe.
