Book Synopsis Narrating the Pilgrimage to Mecca by : Marjo Buitelaar
Download or read book Narrating the Pilgrimage to Mecca written by Marjo Buitelaar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrating the pilgrimage to Mecca discusses a wide variety of historical and contemporary personal accounts of the pilgrimage to Mecca, most of which presented in English for the first time. The book addresses how being situated in a specific cultural context and moment in history informs the meanings attributed to the pilgrimage experience. The various contributions reflect on how, in their stories, pilgrims draw on multiple cultural discourses and practices that shape their daily lifeworlds to convey the ways in which the pilgrimage to Mecca speaks to their senses and moves them emotionally. Together, the written memoirs and oral accounts discussed in the book offer unique insights in Islam’s rich and evolving tradition of hajj and ʿumra storytelling. Contributors Kholoud Al-Ajarma, Piotr Bachtin, Vladimir Bobrovnikov, Marjo Buitelaar, Nadia Caidi, Simon Coleman, Thomas Ecker, Zahir Janmohamed, Khadija Kadrouch-Outmany, Ammeke Kateman, Yahya Nurgat, Jihan Safar, Neda Saghaee, Leila Seurat, Richard van Leeuwen and Miguel Ángel Vázquez.
Book Synopsis Literary Spectacles of Sultanship by : Gowaart Van Den Bossche
Download or read book Literary Spectacles of Sultanship written by Gowaart Van Den Bossche and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called Mamluk sultans who ruled Egypt and Syria between the late thirteenth and early sixteenth centuries AD have often been portrayed as lacking in legitimacy due to their background as slave soldiers. Sultanic biographies written by chancery officials in the early period of the sultanate have been read as part of an effort of these sultans to legitimise their position on the throne. This book reconsiders the main corpus of six such biographies written by the historians Ibn ʿAbd al-Ẓāhir (d. 1293) and his nephew Shāfiʿ ibn ʿAlī (d. 1330) and argues that these were in fact far more complex texts. An understanding of their discourses of legitimisation needs to be embedded within a broader understanding of the multi-directional discourses operating across the texts. The study proposes to interpret these texts as "spectacles", in which authors emplotted the reign of a sultan in thoroughly literary and rhetorical fashion, making especially extensive use of textual forms prevalent in the chancery. In doing so the authors reimagined the format of the biography as a performative vehicle for displaying their literary credentials and helping them negotiate positions in the chancery and the wider courtly orbit.
Book Synopsis Islamic Fundamentalism and Modernity (RLE Politics of Islam) by : William Montgomery Watt
Download or read book Islamic Fundamentalism and Modernity (RLE Politics of Islam) written by William Montgomery Watt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam is a burning topic in modern scholarship and contemporary world affairs. It is a subject poorly understood by Western observers, and in this book Professor Montgomery Watt takes a significant step towards its demystification. Montgomery Watt examines the crucial questions of traditional world-view and self-image which dominate the thinking of Muslims today. This traditional self-image causes them to perceive world events in a different perspective from Westerners – a fact not always appreciated by the foreign ministries of Western powers. Professor Watt presents a brilliant and critical analysis of the traditional Islamic self-image, showing how it distorts Western modernism and restricts Muslims to a peripheral role in world affairs. In a scholarly and incisive way, he traces this harmful image to its origins in the medieval period and then to the traumatic exposure of Muslims to the West in modern times. He argues that Muslim culture is suffering from a dangerous introspection, and in his closing chapters presents a constructive criticism of contemporary Islam, aimed at contributing to a truer, more realistic Islamic self-image for today. First published in 1988.
Book Synopsis Claiming and Making Muslim Worlds by : Jeanine Elif Dağyeli
Download or read book Claiming and Making Muslim Worlds written by Jeanine Elif Dağyeli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To what extent can Islam be localized in an increasingly interconnected world? The contributions to this volume investigate different facets of Muslim lives in the context of increasingly dense transregional connections, highlighting how the circulation of ideas about ‘Muslimness’ contributed to the shaping of specific ideas about what constitutes Islam and its role in society and politics. Infrastructural changes have prompted the intensification of scholarly and trade networks, prompted the circulation of new literary genres or shaped stereotypical images of Muslims. This, in turn, had consequences in widely differing fields such as self-representation and governance of Muslims. The contributions in this volume explore this issue in geographical contexts ranging from South Asia to Europe and the US. Coming from the disciplines of history, anthropology, religious studies, literary studies and political science, the authors collectively demonstrate the need to combine a translocal perspective with very specific local and historical constellations. The book complicates conventional academic divisions and invites to think in historically specific translocal contexts.

Book Synopsis Debating Islam by : Samuel M. Behloul
Download or read book Debating Islam written by Samuel M. Behloul and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conspicuously, Islam has become a key concern in most European societies with respect to issues of immigration, integration, identity, values and inland security. As the mere presence of Muslim minorities fails to explain these debates convincingly, new questions need to be asked: How did »Islam« become a topic? Who takes part in the debates? How do these debates influence both individual as well as collective »self-images« and »image of others«? Introducing Switzerland as an under-researched object of study to the academic discourse on Islam in Europe, this volume offers a fresh perspective on the objective by putting recent case studies from diverse national contexts into comparative perspective.
Book Synopsis Islam in Liberal Europe by : Kai Hafez, University of Erfurt
Download or read book Islam in Liberal Europe written by Kai Hafez, University of Erfurt and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam in "Liberal" Europe provides the first comprehensive overview of the political and social status of Islam and of Muslim migrants in Europe. In addition to offering a critical assessment of positive and negative trends in Islamic-Western relations, Kai Hafez also engages in a theoretical debate revolving around integration, tolerance, multicultural liberalism, and modern liberal democracy. Assessing Islamophobia as it is manifested in politics, society, media, academia, school, and churches, the author debates the question of whether liberal society in Europe, in order to avoid a growing gap between integrative politics and discriminatory societies, needs a complete renewal not only of political ideologies but also of cultures and institutions.
Book Synopsis Cultural Schizophrenia by : Daryush Shayegan
Download or read book Cultural Schizophrenia written by Daryush Shayegan and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Daryush Shayegan's book is a major contribution to what is perhaps the most critical debate within the Muslim world today: the relationship between its own culture and the influence of Western modernity. Based on examples ranging from Iran to Morocco, the author portrays a society he defines as peripheral—bound by a slavish adherence to its own glorified history, its "Tradition"—yet facing an external reality that derives from the West. The meeting of these two incompatible worlds sees the West but, more importantly, in how it sees itself. Shayegan draws on a vast range of cultural experiences (from China and Japan to India and Latin America) in analyzing the type of mentality that is chained to its history. Sources as diverse as Jung and Octavio Paz widen the scope of this illuminating text. Already published in French, Turkish, Spanish, and Arabic to great critical acclaim, this English edition of Cultural Schizophrenia will be required reading for everyone concerned with the state of the world today, whether in the Third World or the West.

Book Synopsis Islamic Culture Through Jewish Eyes by : Esperanza Alfonso
Download or read book Islamic Culture Through Jewish Eyes written by Esperanza Alfonso and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic Culture Through Jewish Eyes analyzes the attitude towards Muslims, Islam, and Islamic culture as presented in sources written by Jewish authors in the Iberian Peninsula between the tenth and the twelfth centuries. By bringing the Jewish attitude towards the "other" into sharper focus, this book sets out to explore a largely overlooked and neglected question – the shifting ways in which Jewish authors constructed communal identity of Muslims and Islamic culture, and how these views changed overtime. The book’s methodological sophistication and wide range of sources make it a valuable resource for scholars and researchers of comparative literature and cultural studies.
Book Synopsis Dynamics of Islam in the Modern World by : Saeed Zarrabi-Zadeh
Download or read book Dynamics of Islam in the Modern World written by Saeed Zarrabi-Zadeh and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamics of Islam in the Modern World scrutinizes and analyzes Islam in context. It posits Muslims not as independent and autonomous, but as relational and interactive agents of change and continuity who interplay with Islamic(ate) sources of self and society as well as with resources from other traditions. Representing multiple disciplinary approaches, the contributors to this volume discuss a broad range of issues, such as secularization, colonialism, globalization, radicalism, human rights, migration, hermeneutics, mysticism, religious normativity and pluralism, while paying special attention to three geographical settings of South Asia, the Middle East and Euro-America.
Book Synopsis Abschied vom Harem? by : Houda Youssef
Download or read book Abschied vom Harem? written by Houda Youssef and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vielehe, Verschleierung und Steinigung - solche und ähnliche Schlagwörter assoziieren WestlerInnen gemeinhin mit dem Frausein in muslimischen Gesellschaften. Die Autorinnen dieser Anthologie - mit einer Ausnahme alles Frauen, die in islamisch geprägten Ländern leben oder muslimisch sozialisiert sind - entwerfen ein vielschichtigeres Bild. Die Bandbreite ihrer Beiträge reicht von sehr persönlichen Berichten bis zu theoretischen Texten, in denen die Autorinnen sich u.a. mit Sexualität im Islam, Feminismus, Zwangsverheiratung und Jungfrauenkult, Kriegsalltag sowie der Stereotypisierung der muslimischen Frau auseinandersetzen. In den vergangenen Jahren sind die Menschenrechte muslimischer Frauen erneut in den Mittelpunkt des westlichen Interesses gerückt - nur um allzu schnell wieder daraus zu verschwinden. In diesem Buch kommen bekannte und weniger bekannte muslimische Autorinnen selbst zu Wort. Ihre sehr unterschiedlichen Perspektiven sollen dazu anregen, genauer hinzuschauen und möglicherweise festgefahrene Bilder zu hinterfragen. Aus dem Inhalt: - Das islamische Konzept einer aktiven weiblichen Sexualität - Jungfräulichkeit und Patriarchat - Von der exotischen Haremsschönheit zur obskuren Fundamentalistin - Leben und Lieben bei den Tuareg - >Mit Kopftuch komme ich weiter als ohne
Book Synopsis Muslimsein als Ressource der Selbsterzählung by : Patricia Köklü
Download or read book Muslimsein als Ressource der Selbsterzählung written by Patricia Köklü and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Werk eroffnet eine innovative Sichtweise auf das Thema Muslime in Deutschland und Europa: Denn nicht Religionen oder Traditionen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Lekture, sondern das Muslimische als Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Erfindung kultureller Lebenswelten, die Selbstverstandlichkeiten unserer hiesigen Gesellschaft offenbaren. Der Band enthalt die Erkenntnisse einer soziologischen Studie zu muslimischen Selbstbeschreibungen in Deutschland, die daraufhin untersucht wurden, welche Bilder von Gesellschaft ihnen zugrunde liegen und gleichsam von ihnen ermoglicht werden. Eine Diskursanalyse arbeitet heraus, in welchen sozialen Zusammenhangen sich das Muslimische als besondere Lebenswelterfahrung erzahlbar macht, die gesellschaftliche Bedingungen glaubhaft zu problematisieren vermag. Die Erzahlungen entpuppen sich dabei als Ressource der authentischen Erfahrung sozialer Partizipation und entdecken sich als Urheber gesellschaftlicher Unterscheidungen, aber auch von deren Re-Integration.
