With speeches and sermons attributed to the Prophet Muḥammad, ʿAlī, other political and military leaders, and a number of prominent women, she assesses types of orations and themes, preservation and provenance, structure and style, orator-audience authority dynamics, and, with the shift from an oral to a highly literate culture, oration’s influence on the medieval chancery epistle. Probing the genre’s echoes in the contemporary Muslim world, she offers sensitive tools with which to decode speeches by mosque-imams and political leaders today.","brand":"Tahera Qutbuddin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270520385787,"sku":"9789004394407","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_100b1c8f-c9c0-4d4c-8948-3682aa94b5a2.jpg?v=1779405139","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/arabic-oration-art-and-function-9789004394407","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
