Final Year Project

Project Title

The Legacy of the Fatimids: Historiographical Transformations in Nizari Communal Memory

Description

This paper assesses the significance of this reorientation and a reimagination of Nizari lsmaili collective memory and the relatively modern fixation of Fatimid veneration in the cultural memory of Nizari lsmaili Muslims. Even though few provide priority to the changing ways of how lsmaili history is viewed or studied there has been development of a new historical imagination among the Nizari lsmailis. Given the transformative nature of Nizari lsmaili history, analysing historical change would allow us to better understand the new Nizari historiographical tradition.
