The late Michael Dols in his book on the Majnūn rightly asserted that when dealing with madmen in medieval Islamic societies, we need to have in mind a model of medical pluralism. He had spotted the various intersections of genres of texts and learning, and even sociological classes and behavioral norms in his examination of madness, more broadly, and lovesickness (ʿishq), in particular. In this chapter, I shall focus on the discussions on lovesickness from five medical commentaries from the Mamluk period. The focus will be not only be on illuminating how the texts and the authors engage with the work(s) of their predecessor(s), but also what we can learn about the specific intellectual landscapes in which each author operated along with their specific interests in the topic. Professor Nahyan Fancy is the Al-Qasimi Professor in Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. He received his PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Notre Dame. He taught for 17 years in the History department at DePauw University, Indiana, before joining the faculty at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at Exeter this year. He works on the intersections of philosophy, medicine, science and religion during the period between 1200 and 1520. His first book, Science and Religion in Mamluk Egypt: Ibn al-Nafis, Pulmonary Transit and Bodily Resurrection (Routledge, 2013), situated Ibn al-Nafis's proposal of the pulmonary transit of blood within the context of debates amongst philosophers and religious scholars over the proper role of reason in interpreting revelation and the possibility of bodily resurrection. He has published widely on post-classical medicine, including more recent work on pre-modern understandings of sleep and plague. His current book project examines eight medical commentaries on the Canon of Medicine and its Epitome, to reveal that neither were Ibn al-Nafis's works ignored after 1300, nor was there a decline in medical and scientific thought due to religious antagonism.
In recent years, I have fallen back in love with New Age, space music, and the droning, atmospheric, accessible Neoclassical genre. Imagine music to TV shows, movies and moods that don't exist … or only exist in the composers' and performers' own heads. Works like Max Richter's Sleep and Johann Johannson's Virðulegu Forsetar have played and replayed in my head as I lie on my bed dozens of times now. Their droning but moving parts, atmospheric sound and noise, and accessible melody and harmony, slow and calming and transporting … I can't get enough. That's why a chance to interview Hipster Pug, a maker of Neoclassical, ambient and experimental music, was exciting. Forgive some of my excited, stumbling questions. Settle in and discover why we both love these genres and how this new musician fell in love with, not just listening, but making the work himself … Want a flavor before we start? I mention his “journey of dreams.” Listen right here on Bandcamp. If you like it, throw him a few bucks and buy the whole thing! Want to dive into Neoclassical, to see what's what? Here are some artists and selections discussed during (or after we finished recording) this episode: “Infra 5” from Max Richter's Infra (one of our guest's favorites), here on YouTube Orphée from Johann Johannson “Particles” from Ólafur Arnauld's Island Songs, here on YouTube nouveau chapitre EP and Neon Noir album from Hipster Pug himself artists from the label that carries Hipster Pug, Monochrome Motif, focusing on “Post Classical,” “Cinematic” and “Electronica” music Want my favorite work these days? This is it: spoken word, machine noise, manipulated vocals, beautiful drones and music.
Who was the first discoverer of Mexico? How did the Spanish come to learn of gold in the Yucatan? Where was the ancient location of Potonchan? How did the Mesoamerican world react to the arrival of the Spanish? What does Yucatan mean? Why is Bernal Diaz so important? And how is Tabasco tied up in all of this? All these questions and more as we continue to explore the history of Tabasco moving into the 16th century, the end of the Post Classical, and the initial meeting between two leaders from vastly different worlds?

This sound of composer artist Anthony Ptak. Liner notes: Ekphoneticasulponticello (2005) [2:00] This solo electro-acousmatic performance work concentrates on sound as a carrier of information. We listen to the world as a system of associative indices. The acoustics of this invented instrument are analyzed, along with acoustically generated phenomena. Sound is a physical axis that occupies and transforms space. The heterophony of this invented instrument is navigation. All sonic materials crafted, performed, and assembled by the composer. This artwork is intended to evoke both the abstract and functional aspects of music. It is a visual representation, a sculpture of the physical space music occupies. It is also an instrument that can be played in any tuning configuration. Vibration is transferred from steel to wood. Many experiments were done using a device called a monochord inspired by the mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BC; it had one string used to measure ratios. Ekphonetic notation, to which the title refers, was one of the earliest attempts to systematize the way in which we hear (reception) and play music (transmission). This notation was based on speech and not exact pitch in Greece and Asia in the 5th to 7th centuries AD. Sulponticello means to play near or on the bridge of the instrument resulting in a sound with a voice-like rasp when bowed and more upper harmonic frequencies when plucked. With this instrument the artist seeks to create complex results from simple economical means. The work serves as a kinetic reference to the temporal (horizontal) and the timbrel (vertical) aspects of a musical axis. The receiver of this work is encouraged to examine systems critically and to experiment as listener, observer, and composer in the world. - AJ Ptak
This sound of theremin artist Anthony Ptak. Liner notes: A Concert for Solo Theremin in La Granja, Spain (2006) [18:22] Calart Actual - Iglesia de San Juan Nepomuceno July 22, 2006 8pm at Plaza del Teatro S/N Real Sitio de la Granja de San Ildefonso - 40100 Segovia - Espana. This live polyphonic solo theremin performance work recorded in LaGranja, Spain concentrates on sound as a carrier of information. We listen to the world as a system of associative indices. The acoustics of the performance space are analyzed, along with synthetically generated phenomena. Sound is a physical axis that occupies and transforms space. The heterophony of the theremin antenna is navigation. All sonic materials acquired, performed, and improvised by the composer. - AJ Ptak
We talk to members of two ensembles who've helped change the sound of classical music. Violinist David Harrington is the founder of the Kronos Quartet, which has revolutionized the string quartet repertoire. Matt Albert is violinist and violist with Eighth Blackbird, a talented and inventive sextet who've further extended the range of classical expression. Both Kronos and eighth blackbird are performing at this year's Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. David and Matt joined us to share their passion for music, reflect on their work and talk about their Cabrillo Festival performances.
