“Across Legal Lines, Jews and Muslims in Modern Morocco”
Morocco went through immense upheaval in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Following the experiences of a Jewish family from Fez, Jessica Marglin explores how the law helped to connect and ultimately divide Jews and Muslims during this critical period.
Marglin charts how Jews successfully navigated the various Jewish, Islamic, and European legal institutions constituting Morocco’s pluralist system of law for decades—until colonial reforms abruptly curtailed their mobility. Rather than focusing on the archives of a single type of court, Marglin culls from various institutions used by Jews at the time and draws on previously untapped documents in Hebrew, Arabic, and European languages. This timely and groundbreaking study expands our understanding of contemporary relations between Jews and Muslims and changes the way we think about Jewish history, the Middle East, and the nature of legal pluralism in the modern world.
“Ise: Patterns of Japanese Culture.”
The USC Shinso Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture cordially invites you to an exclusive event:
Friday, April 21st
3PM- Film Screening of Umi Yama Aida (In Between Mountains and Oceans) and panel discussion in Leavey Auditorium (LVL 17)
6PM- Reception featuring the gastronomy of the Ise City region at the University Club
Website | Flyer | RSVP | The event is FREE and open to the public
One day in 2013, the photographer and filmmaker Masaaki Miyazawa stumbled upon the Shikinen Sengu, a Shinto ceremony practiced once every 20 years, at Ise Shrine in Mie Prefecture. For the past 1,300 years, a shrine pavilion is rebuilt for the purposes of renewing the shrine structure and transmitting traditional Japanese construction techniques to the next generation. Instantly captivated and inspired by the sacred relationship between humans and nature in Ise Shrine’s ritual, Miyazawa traveled to Japan’s sacred forests, mountains, and coasts to film and document the lives of people and their religious practices which are still deeply intertwined with nature. Join us and a delegation from Ise City to witness Miyazawa’s travels across Japan in the documentary Umi Yama Aida (Between Mountains and Oceans). A panel discussion with the filmmaker Miyazawa, representatives from Ise, and USC faculty will follow the screening. A reception immediately following the discussion will be hosted by the Center at the University Club.
