KW  - Medieval Islamic Historiography: Remembering Rebellion
N2  - Heather Keaney’s Medieval Islamic Historiography: Remembering Rebellionseeks to analyze the development of Islamic historiography from the 9th centuryto the 14th century by means of a close case study on histories of ‘Uthmān b.‘Affān’s caliphate. She argues that the memory of his caliphate and life-story act asa kind of microcosm in which the most critical tensions of Islamic historiographyand Islamic intellectual history are brought to the fore. These tensions centeraround four dichotomies: historiography vs. hagiography, Sunni vs. Shi‘i theology, religious vs. political authority, and the pursuit of justice vs. the preservationof unity. She hopes that a detailed study of portrayals of ‘Uthmān’s caliphate in9th-14th century historiographic texts will provide fresh insight into these tensions
