Akbar II as Pretender: A Study in Anarchy
No full textAkbar Shāh, son of the Mughal emperor Shāh 'Ālam II, was elevated to the throne of Delhi as pretender eighteen years previous to his accession as Akbar II, and money was struck in his name. The addition of another claimant to the dynastic list was communicated in a joint paper by Mr. S. H. Hodivala and myself, which appeared in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for the year 1922, and to which I invite reference. I had found a copper coin of Aḥmadābād mint bearing the name of Akbar Shāh and date A.H. 1203, which made me conjecture whether Ghulām Qādir Khān, the “unspeakable Rohilla”, raised another prince to the Mughal throne after the puppet Bedār Bakht (A.H. 1202–3), who might or might not be identical with the Akbar Shāh, eldest surviving son of Shāh 'Ālam II, who succeeded his father in the regular way as Akbar II in the year A.H.. 1221 (A.D. 1806). I put the matter to Mr. Hodivala, a leading authority on Mughal history, and his reply was that “it has not yet been possible to find an absolutely complete and satisfactory solution of the problem connected with the Akbar Shāh coins of A.H. 1203, but there would seem to be fairly good grounds for answering the question in the affirmative”. The fullest account of the transactions which led to the deposition and blinding of Shāh 'Ālam II is in the 'Ibratnāmah (Book of Warning) of Faqīr Khairu-d-dīn Muḥammad, but this work closes soon after recounting the terrible cruelties practised on the Emperor Shāh 'Ālam and his family by the infamous Ghulām Qādir, whose atrocities the author describes at length.</jats:p
Akbar entre mundos : uma análise, leitura crítica e tradução da obra poética de Kaveh Akbar
No full textOrientador: Prof. Dr. Caetano Waldrigues GalindoDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa : Curitiba, 27/02/2025Inclui referênciasÁrea de concentração: Estudos LiteráriosResumo: Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo comentar criticamente a produção poética do escritor contemporâneo americano-iraniano Kaveh Akbar, autor de dois livros de poemas: Calling a Wolf a Wolf (2017) e Pilgrim Bell (2021). Akbar nasceu na cidade de Teerã, no Irã, em 1989 e na infância mudou para os Estados Unidos, onde vive até hoje. Neste trabalho, articulo a sua biografia de deslocamento com a sua produção literária, dentro dos limites da autoficção. Ademais, proponho uma análise aprofundada de como os temas, estipulados aqui como centrais na sua obra, "linguagem", "religião" e "memória", aparecem e se entrelaçam ao longo da sua produção poética. Também conecto a literatura de Akbar e sua trajetória biográfica com a discussão acerca da "literatura sem morada fixa", teorizada por Ottmar Ette (2018), problematizando assim as questões da literatura contemporânea e das suas fronteiras. E, por último, apresento a tradução de 23 poemas retirados de seus dois livros, a fim de possibilitar ainda mais a discussão sobre a sua obra poética, que é recente e, apesar de ter obtido grande destaque no cenário literário norte-americano, permanece pouco conhecida e não tinha sido, até o momento, traduzida no BrasilAbstract: This research aims to critically analyse the poetic production of the contemporary American-Iranian writer Kaveh Akbar. He is the author of two poetry books, Calling a Wolf a Wolf (2017) and Pilgrim Bell (2021). Akbar was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1989, and moved to the United States as a child, where he currently lives. In this research, I articulate his biography with his literary production, within the limits of autofiction. Also, I conduct a detailed analysis of how the three themes, defined here as the main themes in his poetry books, "language", "religion" and "memory", appear and are intertwined throughout his work. I also connect Akbar's literature and his biographical trajectory with the discussion about "literatures without a fixed abode", theorized by Ottmar Ette (2018), thus problematizing the issues of contemporary literature and its borders. And, finally, this dissertation presents my translation of 23 poems taken from Akbar's two books into Portuguese, in order to shine a light on his work and bring the discussion about it to Brazil. His publications are farrelly recent, and despite receiving great attention in the North American literary scene, they remain little known in Brazil and have not, to this date, been translated or published in the countr
