[...]he state
3. to protect the state from non-Muslims (kofar)


(for me there is a big difference between:)
islam: achievement of the Arabian nomads (that make the musulman of today live in the past)
islam: a tradition of intellectual imagination of those who were conquered


Pakistan 1972 constitution --(for the purpose of the constitution of the law)--> non-muslim: a person who does not believe in the absolute and unqualified finality of prophethood of Muhammad, the last of the prophets or claims to be a prophet, in any sense of the word or of any description whatsoever, after Muhammad or recognizes such a claimant as a prophet or a religious reformer


something akin to copyright (trademark law) --> disable non-Muslims from encroaching upon Muslim rights over their tradition (undertaking muslim modes of worship: use of honorific titles and modes of address specific to the prophetic community, building mosques, calling azan, citing from Quran or hadis, etc.)

media literature German discourse database deutsch Sprache language computer link text Bild Ton Video station [source: widrichfilm.com] khatam anbia --> khatm: seal --> aspects of Islam as sealed off and exclusive to muslims

(Pakistan supprim court's affective legal feedback loop) copyrighting islam = affirmation of Muslim nature <--Naveeda-- *a horizon of striving*
}<-- an example of (Iqbalian) reason + revelation


institutionalizing blindness


Iqbal on ahmadies:
Tipu sultan collapse by the British 1799 = mark of political and psychological subjugation of Muslims --Iqbal--> Ahmadiyya messianic movement = subjugated people explaining to themselves their state of decline (negative enlightenment)
tolerance = indifference

striving =/= progress

Naveeda chapter 4 jinn


strident --> engaging speech with vivid imagery
differential --> differing knowledge to proper authority

lack of consensus on what X is (among its varient constituents) ==> (problem of) loss of tolerance
(for example Pakistan:)
contradictions between commitments to:
existing hierarchies
tribal ties
universalistic religion (whose version of community transcends those ties)


(Naveeda) thinking of the potential lines of movement among entrenched differences, cited texts, and possible positions generated by selves encountering others in the world

intensities that burn within you + openness to conversation

attention to time --Naveeda--> draw a consistent picture of an Islam with open future

disputation = a form of experimentation: doing and undoing of known forms (in the spirit of striving) [=/= experimentation: innovation in self-making, or social arrangements]
@apass

disputation: a form of interaction (with risks and ill effects [risk of alienation, estrangement of others])
--> [*]becoming: coming to terms with the trajectories and crystalization of tendencies within the transcriptions of the state and in public culture --> **excavating the resources (that this way of being Muslim) give to itself to reflect upon and evaluate (--> renew its inheritance of Islam)

approaching history from the perspective of plenitude
approaching history from the perspective of lack


(upsurge of excitement accompanying the creation of Pakistan --Smith--> a tendency [=/= social movement for example reform or piety with identifiable advocacies and trajectories] called) [*]aspiration: sustaining the striving towards an ideal final form (a state, society, self, etc.) =/= achieving

--Naveeda--> demand for a state = demand for a society ~= demand for a self

how to read Pakistan's historical records shaped by the *aspiration to strive as Muslims*?

tradition and ethics of debate and disputation


Wunderkammer exhibition collection environment writing [source: Alison and Peter Smithson et al., Parallel of Life and Art] Carl Schmitt --> political theology
*politics discovers its modernity by repressing the theological foundations of its concept and practice*

theology was always about worldly politics <--> religious transcendence }==> run analysis both ways:
transcendental coming into play (in some instances)
worldly life coming into play (in some instances) [immanent quality]

Munes al-Abrar moon fish twelve birds taxon [source: Folio from a Mu'nis al-Abrar fi Deqa'iq al-Ash'ar / top: The Moon and Fish; bottom: Twelve different birds in 2 registers] --Singh--> self-making & self-perfecting

}--Naveeda--> religious argumentation : expressive of ongoing striving

**one works on oneself by revisiting and reinhabiting theological conundrums (through words and practice)** [same in artists as well?]


world snow white poison gift life cinderella [source: Jon Rafman] perceived eagerness for debate among lay muslims --> (anxiety over) disputation ==>
indulgence in abstract thinking
undermine the tenacity of individual faith
reduce the hold of the daily obligations of ritual worship
lead to a diminishing attachment to worldly life or stakes in the social


Veena, Cavell > skepticism:
philosophical efforts at securing one's knowledge of the world unmediated by sense experience (<-- classical)
human disappointment with our earthly condition of being distinct and separate from others (<-- social)
efforts to secure unmediated knowledge of others (<-- social)


[Veena (giving historicity and ethnigraphic precision)-->] skepticism ==>
renders other vulnerable to suspicion
unsettle social relations
produce the conditions of possibility for suffering and violence


skepticism <--> aspiration

lens beauty decoration science telescope embodiment aesthetics ornamentation divine rich care attention encode decryption value meaning mystery [source: Galileo Galilei Objective lens, Padua, late 1609 n a frame made of ebony and ivory - Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza, Florence / astronomy2009.org] aspiration =/= clear vision of ends

Pakistan:
idemtifies itself as an ideological state (Islam) [==Naveeda==> (the possibility of) some experimentation within its apparatus : ***articulation and dispersal of ideology is not linear or cumulative*** it flows in directions other than from the top down]
inherits the colonial administrative structure + imperatives of government (postcolonial state)

(Sina -->) to be ideological about X : driven to ascertain and adjudicate the others relation to X
(certainly as an achievement)

in islamic ideological states (like Pakistan and Iran) you are allowed to experiment on what is it to be a Muslim
(+ skepticism with respect to those who strive)
skepticism transforms into an *impersonal force* (that can emerge anywhere and strike anyone) [<-- disembodied aspect of skepticism]

Naveeda's ethnography method of interviewing:
1. locate traces of X in (context:)
everyday life
public culture

3. see how this tendency crystallizes
at particular points
within particular persons
within particular texts

5. study this crystallization
comes to be overlaid
expressed through lived experiences
be productive of
further movements of the tendency
countertendencies
its dissipation
