Twelver Shiite Scholars’ Position on Adopting Hadiths Transmitted by Sunnis and Non-Twelver Shiites
This article deals with the positions taken by Twelver Shiite hadith scholars on the question of adopting hadiths narrated on the authority of al-ꜥāmma, that is, non-Shiites. The article begins by defining the terms al-ꜥāmma and al-khāșșa as employed by the Twelver Shiites and the evolution of their meanings, noting that the issue of adopting narratives passed down on the authority of al-ꜥāmma had not been resolved among Shiite scholars when the Shiite sect emerged in the first and second centuries AH, during which time numerous hadiths were being passed down by Shiites through al-ꜥāmma. However, once the idea of the minor occultation had crystallized, and following this, the major occultation, Shiite scholars began restricting the use of narratives passed down via al-ꜥāmma. Shiite scholars were divided into two groups over the question of adopting hadiths narrated on the authority of al-ꜥāmma (Sunnis) and non-Twelver Shiites, with the first group approving this practice, and the second group forbidding it on the grounds that Sunnis and non-Twelver Shiites were not believers in the twelve imams. Thus, a doctrinal debate arose over the qualifications of hadith narrators which had nothing to do with the status of the hadith, or whether the person who had transmitted the hadith had sat directly with the imam on whose authority he had narrated it.

curated by 2024 - Untold Narratives
Bei MEYER*KAINER inszenierte die Kuratorin Eva Birken-stock in majestätischer Weise ein zuckersüßes Ensemble theatralischer Arbeiten der Salzburger Künstlerin Agnes Scherer. Die beiden entschieden sich, anstelle des übli-chen Pressetexts, ihre Leidenschaft für Giorno in Form von Liebesbriefen voller persönlicher Anekdoten und Enthüllungen über ihre eigene Sexu-alität und Intimität im hyperperfor-mativen, schwulen Ton zu verfassen.

Personal, Master, and Alternative Narratives
In this paper we propose a model for examining personal identity development that moves attention from a relatively exclusive examination of the individual to an examination of the intersection between self and society. We propose that a master narrative model of identity development allows researchers to: (a) align the study of culture and individual on the same metric of narrative, (b) investigate the processes of negotiating personal and cultural narratives, the latter of which are embedded within the structures of society, and (c) investigate the internalization of those structures in personal identities. In laying out this model we define a narrative approach to identity development, five principles for defining master narratives (ubiquity, utility, invisibility, rigidity, and their compulsory nature), three types of master narratives (life course, structural, and episodic), and case examples of each type. This model brings attention to the interaction between self and society, as well as to the constraints on individual agency to construct a personal identity. We conclude by raising questions that emerge out of this framework that we hope will inspire future work on the relationship between self and society in the study of identity development.
