| Title | ???Let`s Ban Applause!??? The Cultural Politics of Music in Ninth and Tenth Century Iraq |
| Summary | In the ninth Century Abbasid Baghdad music gained an elevated status among the highest social and political circles, meanwhile the first known legal dispute over music in the Islamic context was written. I argue that the two are connected to each other and the cultural changes of the Abbasid court started the emergence of legal disputes over music. The Sufis of Baghdad started to hold musical gatherings, the nature of these even concerned some of the Sufis themselves and I point out that culturally these musical gatherings and the ones of the Abbasid court are connected. |
