5th Annual Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick Memorial Lecture in Gender and Sexuality Studies by Saba Mahmood

By buniverse ()

Saba Mahmood from the University of California Berkeley presented a talk entitled “Moral Injury & Muhammed’s Cartoons Thinking Reparatively with Eve Sedgwick.” Taking its cue from Eve Sedgwick, this talk offers a “reparative [...]reading” of the ongoing struggle over the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed in Europe. Rather than read these debates as a standoff between religious taboos and secular freedoms, Mahmood unpacks the distinct epistemological and interpretive stakes at the heart of such conflicts.
