在这篇文章中，我探索了我称之为jinnealogy的神学方向，当人类记忆的谱系面临被抹去的景观的遗忘力量时，这种神学方向就会出现。在当代德里讲述的故事中，长寿的精灵充当了连接人类几个世纪的传播者。在一座被毁坏的中世纪宫殿里，向精灵圣徒递交的请愿书中，中世纪的正义思想与现代的官僚技术结合在一起。故事和仪式都证明了一种神学上的新奇，这种新奇与后殖民城市的精神和物质景观的转变错综复杂地交织在一起。精灵出现在地图的空白处，官僚机构的计划，司法机构的判决，以及分治后印度国家的模糊不清，试图大规模抹去城市的穆斯林景观。精灵学，人类记忆链被精灵的长寿所取代，通过提出其他时间性、政治神学和见证模式来挑战国家的神奇健忘症，反对官僚主义构成的现在的空虚、同质的时间。
In this article I explore what I call jinnealogy , a theological orientation that emerges when the genealogies of human memory are confronted with the amnesic forces of an obliterated landscape. In stories told in contemporary Delhi, long-lived jinn act as transmitters connecting human beings centuries apart in time. In petitions deposited to jinn -saints in a ruined medieval palace, medieval ideas of justice come together with modern bureaucratic techniques. Both stories and rituals attest to a theological newness intricately entwined with the transformations of the postcolonial city’s spiritual and physical landscapes. Jinn are present in the blank spaces of the map, where the plans of the bureaucracy, the verdicts of the judiciary, and the illegibility of the post-Partition Indian state coincide to attempt vast erasures of the city’s Muslim landscapes. Jinnealogy, the supersession of human chains of memory by the long lives of the jinn, challenges the magical amnesia of the state by bringing up other temporalities, political theologies, and modes of witnessing against the empty, homogenous time of a bureaucratically constituted present.
