Murūʾa and Masculinity in the Mamlūk Period (1252-1517)

Active

Description

My current research aims at studying the reception of murūʿa (also spelled muruwwa) in a certain number of historical and literary sources compiled during the Mamlūk period (1252-1517). This project intends on the one hand to reread the primary sources that have been reviewed before, and, on the other, to extend the analysis of the reception of murūʾa in the Mamlūk period. The goal of this endeavour is to study the evolution of this notion over time and through the lens of the masculinities studies.
