  • Critical Discourse Analysis of Marsiya-E-Hussain
    Religious Ideology and Discourse: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Marsiya-e-Hussain Snobra Rizwan Lecturer, Department of English Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan Pakistan Tariq Saeed Assisstant Professor, Department of English Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan Pakistan Ramna Fayyaz Lecturer, Department of English Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan Pakistan ABSTRACT This paper employs Fairclough’s framework of critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 2001; 2003) as a research tool to demonstrate how mourning discourse of marsiya manages to win favourite responses from Pakistani audiences by foregrounding certain linguistic conventions. The data comprising popular marsiyas are based on responses obtained through a small-scale survey and are analyzed from the perspective of ideology and emotive appeal embedded in discourse. The analysis illustrates that discourse conventions of marsiya—in addition to traditional commemoration of martyrdom of Imam Hussian—serve to elaborate, explain and disseminate religious doctrines in Pakistani Shi‘ah masses. Keywords: Marsiya, Critical Discourse Analysis, Ideology, Shiism 1. Introduction This paper provides a close study to examine the distinguishing features of marsiya-e-Hussain and the way discursive choices of certain transitivity features, figurative language and lyrical conventions serve to make it a distinct poetic genre of its own. Though marsiya recitation is taken to be a means of commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussain; nevertheless, it means much more to Shi’ia community. Along with other mourning rituals, marsiya is considered to be a means of seeking waseela (mediation) from the saints, teaching and learning religious ideologies, seeking God’s pleasure and so on (‘Azadari; mourning for Imam Hussain’, 2009). All these objectives are achieved by following certain discourse conventions which in turn construct certain discursive reality and weigh heavily on the formation of distinctive opinion and religious ideology in Shi‘ah masses.

They contain authentic information and facts about the social, political and cultural aspects of a nation. Therefore their intellectual value cannot be over emphasized. Many countries and nations are joining hands towards preserving such cultural assets by way of taking conservation and preservation measures including digitization and documentation. Marsiya or Elegy has gained more importance after the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s) and his companions and household in Karbala. Marsiya has been since written and recited in order to mourning the tragic events of Karbala.

  • Female Poets and the Urdu Marsiya by Amy Bard Columbia University
    Value and Vitality in a Literary Tradition: Female Poets and the Urdu Marsiya by Amy Bard Columbia University A performers of classical Urdu mar¡iya poetry, Shµ‘a women in India and Pakistan proclaim a set of social, religious and literary values, reinforcing and reshaping the status of the mar¡iya genre. The mar¡iya, a form that usually details the seventh-century C.E. martyrdom of the Prophet of Islam’s grandson, Im≥m ƒusain, has a reputation for being more complex and more erudite than other genres of the Shµ‘a Muslim mourning assem- bly, the majlis (pl. maj≥lis). As authors of poetic texts, a small number of female mar¡iya writers engage unusually assertively with the tragedy of Karbala and with the legacy of the most famous mar¡iya poets. This paper briefly sketches the lives and work of three twentieth-century female mar¡iya poets who manifest a thoughtful and proud identification with a great classical tradition of Urdu poetry. Today, poetic genres about ƒusain’s tragedy—såz, sal≥m, mar¡iya and nau√a—usually frame a religious sermon delivered by a ÿ≥kira in women’s maj≥lis. Although mar¡iya in India dates from the fifteenth century, the form is commonly said to have achieved its culmination in Lucknow, with the lengthy narrative works of the male poets Mµr Babbar ‘Alµ Anµs (d. ) and Sal≥mat ‘Alµ Dabµr (d. ). Nineteenth-century mar¡iyas still enjoy popularity today and are performed in a range of styles: chanted, spoken and augmented with dramatic gestures, or rendered melodically.

  • The Turbah of Sitt Sutaytah: a Funerary Foundation for a Mamluk Noblewoman in Fourteenth-Century Damascus Eelleelellen
    The Turbah of Sitt Sutaytah: A Funerary Foundation for a Mamluk Noblewoman in Fourteenth-Century Damascus ELLle KEllEY The Turbah of Sitt Sutaytah Ellen Kenney The American University in Cairo The Turbah of Sitt Sutaytah: A Funerary Foundation for a Mamluk Noblewoman in Fourteenth-Century Damascus Introduction Nestled within a densely built-up quarter in the heart of the old city of Damas- cus, amidst famous historical monuments, shops, and residential buildings, stand the remains of a small but elegant structure of the early Mamluk period. So nar- row is the alley fronting it and so festooned its facade with pennants and post- ers, one could almost walk past without taking particular notice of it. However, some feature of its worn façade—perhaps the finely dressed masonry of the lower walls, the handsome epigraphic band, or the exquisite stalactite hood above the entrance niche—would alert the observant passer-by to the presence of a signifi- doi:10.6082/M1MS3QVC cant memento of the city’s distant past. In fact, this façade represents nearly all http://hdl.handle.net/11417/735 that remains of the Turbah of Sitt Sutaytah, the funerary foundation of one of the highest ranked women in the land at the time of its construction: the “first lady”— as it were—of the Mamluk province of Bilād al-Shām in the early decades of the fourteenth century. However, in spite of the notability of its sponsor and the re- finements of its construction, the building has attracted relatively little scholarly attention. 1 This study will examine the history of the building and its site, survey its structural and decorative remains, and analyze its place within the architec- tural and social context of Mamluk Damascus and Bilād al-Shām.
