 Pilgrims: Historicity and Sociality of Saint Visitation across the Middle 
 East Presented by Professor Emrah Yildiz from Northwestern UniversityThis 
 talk follows the pathways of a ziyarat (saint visitation) route, also kno
 wn as Hajj-e Fuqara’ (pilgrimage of the poor) from bus stations in Iran th
 rough Turkish bazaars in Gaziantep, Turkey to the Sayyida Zainab shrine n
 ear Damascus, Syria. Professor Yildiz proposes that this pilgrimage route
  can be productively understood as a region-making route. He will trace th
 e inter-articulations of saint visitation with contraband commerce circuit
 s. In contrast to those scholars who see in Islamic ritual the pre-determi
 ned stage for ethical cultivation and self-making pedagogy, The Traffic i
 n Iranian Pilgrims interprets ritual as a generative dimension of social a
 ction and spatial production on a regional scale that exemplifies the hist
 oricity and sociality of ritual.Emrah Yıldız is Crown Junior Chair in Midd
 le East Studies and Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Northwestern Un
 iversity. Yıldız holds a PhD in Social Anthropology and Middle East Studie
 s from Harvard University. A founding and former co-editor of Jadaliyya’s 
 Turkey Page, Yıldız co-edited (with Anthony Alessandrini and Nazan Üstünd
 ag) the collection “Resistance Everywhere:” The Gezi Protests and Dissiden
 t Visions of Turkey (2014). His recent academic publications and short-for
