Book Synopsis Islamic Education and the Public Sphere by : Florian Pohl
Download or read book Islamic Education and the Public Sphere written by Florian Pohl. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does Islamic education prepare students for participation in the public life of democratic and multicultural societies? This question runs counter to what the current public debate about Islamic education would seem to suggest. Rather than pondering the role Islamic schools may play in radicalizing Muslim youth, Florian Pohl presents instances in which Islamic educational institutions actively further progressive politics and strengthen the public sphere of contemporary Indonesian society through educational programs that address issues such as anti-violence, interfaith and interethnic tolerance, pluralism, human rights, gender equality, democracy, and political and social justice. Grounded in ethnographic fieldwork, this study reveals how large the scope of action and thought is for these Islamic schools. This is a critical impulse for the evaluation of Islamic schools that also functions as encouragement for those in Islamic educational institutions to find identity not in exclusion but in contact with and respect for others. Pohl's book offers a productive source of friction for current debates in the international context over the question of how to harness religion's potential in the educational field in such a way that the dangers of exclusivism and intolerance can be resisted and competencies for tolerance and dialogue can be strengthened.

Book Synopsis New Media in the Muslim World by : Dale F. Eickelman
Download or read book New Media in the Muslim World written by Dale F. Eickelman. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of a collection of essays reports on how new media-fax machines, satellite television and the Internet - and the new uses of older media-cassettes, pulp fiction, the cinema, the telephone and the press - shape belief, authority and community in the Muslim world. The chapters in this work, including new chapters dealing specifically with events after September 11, 2001, concern Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula, and Muslim communities in the United States and elsewhere. The book suggests new ways of looking at the social organization of communications and the shifting links among media of various kinds in local and transnational contexts. The extent to which today's new media have transcended local and state frontiers and have reshaped understanding of gender, authority, social justice, identities and politics in Muslim societies emerges from this work.

Book Synopsis Orientalists, Islamists and the Global Public Sphere by : Dietrich Jung
Download or read book Orientalists, Islamists and the Global Public Sphere written by Dietrich Jung. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the ongoing public debate that focuses on differences between Islam and the West, this book suggests a change of perspective. It departs from the observation that both western Orientalists and Islamist activists have defined Islam similarly as an all-encompassing religious, political and social system. In shifting from differences to similarities, it leaves behind the increasingly circular debate about the "true" nature of Islam in which the Muslim religion has been represented either as intrinsically hostile to or as principally compatible with modern culture. Instead, it associates the evolution of a particularly essentialist image of Islam with a complex process of cross-cutting (self)-interpretations of Muslim and Western societies within an emerging global public sphere. Putting its focus on the life and work of a number of paradigmatic individuals, the book investigates the intellectual encounters and discursive interdependencies among western and Muslim intellectuals. In a historical genealogy it deconstructs the essentialist image of Islam in uncovering its conceptual foundations in the modern transformation of European and Muslim societies from the nineteenth century onwards. Thereby, the changing infrastructure of the global public sphere has facilitated the gradual popularization, trivialization, and dissemination of a previously elitist discourse on Islam and modernity. In this way, the idea of Islam as an all-encompassing system has been turned into accepted knowledge in the Western and Muslim worlds alike.

Book excerpt: Modernity, Minority, and the Public Sphere: Jews and Christians in the Middle East explores the many facets associated with the questions of modernity and minority in the context of religious communities in the Middle East by focusing on inter-communal dialogues and identity construction among the Jewish and Christian communities of the Middle East and paying special attention to the concept of space.This volume draws examples of these issues from experiences in the public sphere such as education, public performance, and political engagement discussing how religious communities were perceived and how they perceived themselves.
