 lted one? Thousands of other harps are here.” This evocative line of verse
 , by the thirteenth-century Sufi poet Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, epitomizes an A
 rabo-Persian modality of listening known as samā‘—a term that encompasses 
 both the act of hearing and the things heard, material and immaterial. Sa
 mā‘ is not delimited by the audible spectrum available to the material ear
 , for this external sense yields to an internal sense, the “ear of the s
 oul” and “ear of the heart.” These auricular metaphors of listening throug
 h other ears—of listening otherwise—reveal that the act of re-mediated lis
 tening is not merely the historical artifact of our modern perspective on 
 'lost,' pre-modern Persian musical traditions. Rather, re-mediated liste
 ning is always already embedded in classical Persian poetic practice. This
  lecture excavates a richly textured media-archaeology of the soundscapes 
 of medieval Persian poetry, and their activation across global and cosmic
  networks. In so doing, it exposes problems of continuity, rupture, and
  the musical imaginary in classical Persian literature.  \n\nContact Infor
