The paper focuses on two hagiographic texts about the Indian saint Shirdi Sai Baba: G. R. Dabholkar’s Śrī Sāī Satcarita (1930) in Marathi and B. V. Narasimhaswami’s four-volume Life of Sai Baba (1955–69) in English. A comparative study of these texts highlights a notable shift in the saint’s life story. Whereas Dabholkar describes a saint who is “neither Hindu nor Muslim,” Narasimhaswami emphasizes particular devotional testimonies to reconstruct Shirdi Sai Baba as a syncretistic figure who is “both Hindu and Muslim.” Narasimhaswami’s reconstruction also reveals a politics of compositeness, in which a dominant Hindu embrace contains a domesticated Muslim-ness.

从“非/非”到“非”/与:在圣像学中重新配置舍地赛巴巴的生平和遗产

这篇论文的重点是关于印度圣人 Shirdi Sai Baba 的两部圣徒文字:GR Dabholkar 的马拉地语的 Śrī Sāī Satcarita (1930) 和 BV Narasimhaswami 的四卷本《赛巴巴的生活》(1955-69) 的英文版。对这些文本的比较研究突出了圣人生活故事的显着转变。Dabholkar 描述了一位“既不是印度教也不是穆斯林”的圣人,而 Narasimhaswami 则强调了特殊的灵修证词,将 Shirdi Sai Baba 重建为一个“既是印度教又是穆斯林”的融合人物。Narasimhaswami 的重建还揭示了一种复合性政治,其中占主导地位的印度教拥抱包含驯化的穆斯林性。
