Hekaya za Abunuwas: reading Abbasid histories and satire in East Africa
Through a few outstanding satirical literary works, ancient Abbasid histories have greatly influenced cultures of different parts of the world. Among these is the Swahili society that, through Hekaya za Abunuwas ‘The Tales of Abunuwas’, continues to partake of Abbasid satire. This speaks to the interconnectedness of the Arab and the Swahili worlds enabled by the Indian Ocean circuit. A number of East African literary scholars have critiqued Hekaya za Abunuwas without underscoring the text’s rootedness in Arabic histories. Thus, this article traces Hekaya za Abunuwas not only to the original composer – Abu Nuwas of medieval Basra, Iraq, but also examines the impact of his creative imagination on the East African coastal societies. In the same way Abu Nuwas’s revolutionary worldview evident in his poetry and tales was disruptive of Abbasid’s conservative socio-political and religiousregimes, so have his translated tales been to Indian Ocean communities. Through new historicism lenses, the article demonstrates that simple conflicts meant for children and young adult readers can illuminate significantly complex socio-political histories.
Social Change in Medieval Iran 132-628 AH (750-1231 AD)
This study contributes to the history of social changes in Iran during the Abbasid Caliphate (AH 132-656, AD 750-1258) by foregrounding the perspective of Persian language historians - from Abu Ali Bal'ami (AH 363, AD 974), the first known Persian historian, to Atamelak Joveyni (AH 623-681, AD 1226-1283), the great historian of the Mongol Era. By applying the insights of Anthony Giddens and the theory of structuration to address the interactions of social agents and structures, this book provides a coherent narrative of social transformation in medieval Iran.

Mes‘ûdî’nin Abbâsî Tarihi Anlatısında Rüya Motifi
Rüyalar, tarih boyunca insanın gaip bilgi elde ettiği, bu sayede doğruyu yanlıştan ayırma ve gelecekten haberdar olma imkanına kavuştuğu mucizevi bir deneyim olarak yorumlanmıştır. IV./X. asırda Abbâsî topraklarında yaşamış meşhur müverrih Mes‘ûdî de tarih yazımında rüyaya özel bir önem atfetmiş, hatta bu konuyu ayrıntılı olarak ele aldığı iki eser kaleme almıştır. Her ne kadar bu kitaplar günümüze ulaşmamışsa da ünlü eseri Mürûcü’z-zeheb’de rüya bahsini kehanet konusu içinde işlediği ayrı bir bölüm bulunmaktadır. Bu birliktelikten anlaşıldığı üzere onun tarih anlatısında rüya, kehanetin bir unsuru olarak hakikati bildiren bir araç şeklinde varlık kazanmaktadır. Ayrıca Mes‘ûdî’nin naklettiği rüya haberleri derlendiğinde rivayetlerin Abbâsîler döneminde yoğunlaştığı görülmektedir. Bu durum müellifin Şiî temayülü, Abbâsî döneminde yaşaması ve eserlerini bu çağda kaleme almasıyla birlikte düşünüldüğünde anlamlı sorulara kapı aralamaktadır. Çünkü müellif, rüya motifini çağın meşru yöneticileri hakkındaki hakiki tutumunu ortaya koymak için bir araç olarak kullanmış olabilir. Bu makale Mes‘ûdî’nin okuyucusuna ima ettiği anlamı, Abbâsîler döneminde kaydettiği rüya rivayetlerini inceleyerek tartışmaktadır.
