Witness to Marvels traces the development of a unique genre of Sufi-inspired Bengali romances called pir kathas, whose protagonists and plots are wholly fictive. For five centuries these fabulations have parodied indigenous and Hindu textual traditions. Both mimicking and mocking, these parodies adopted a subjunctive tone, exploring a magical world of 'what-if'. They created an Islam-inflected space within a traditional Bengali cultural environment without trying to legislate what ideally 'should be' according to tropes common to Islamic history, theology, and law. The tales' discursive arena, the imaginaire, delineated the realm of possibility for how these tales might exercise the imagination to integrate Hindu and Islamic cosmologies. Tales insinuated themselves into locally relevant discourses through elaborate intertextual connections, subtly shifting presuppositions about the way the world works and what counts as religious authority. As Allah looked on from heaven, the tales routinely assigned Sufi saints, both pirs and bibis, to the pivotal role of avatar, the periodic descent of divinity, equating them to the Hindu god Narayan. Adopting a semiotic strategy to interpret these tales yields a bold new perspective on the subtle ways Islam assumed its distinctive form in Bengal and suggests how we need to reimagine conversion in this region.

AbstractThere was no federal election in Canada in 2022, but the official opposition Conservatives ousted their leader and elected a new one. Additionally, the Liberals and New Democrats signed a Supply and Confidence Agreement that would protect the minority Liberal government from parliamentary defeat until 2025. Despite these significant developments, the major event was a convoy that descended on Ottawa to protest policies related to the COVID‐19 pandemic and was only removed after substantial police action and the declaration of the Emergencies Act.

AbstractCanadian politics in 2021 was far from boring. A federal election that resulted in very few changes, the resignation of the Governor General, the appointment of the first Indigenous Governor General, scandals in the military, the resolution of a dispute with the Chinese government, and ongoing issues relating to the COVID‐19 pandemic attracted substantial attention. But more striking was the discovery of unmarked graves on the site of former residential schools, a discovery challenging the views many Canadians had of their history and revealing the extent of work remaining to be done with respect to Indigenous issues and the continuing need for both truth and reconciliation.
