Studying Islam in the Arab World The Rupture Between Religion and the Social Sciences

Studying Islam in the Arab World The Rupture Between Religion and the Social Sciences

Addressing the rupture between religious and social sciences in Arab universities this book provides a critical assessment of the curricula of Shariah and Islamic Studies departments across the Arab World arguing for increased interdisciplinary dialogue. Based on over 250 interviews with university students and teachers this study is the sum of five years of field research observing the curricula and teaching styles of colleges in the Shariah sciences. The author provides critical insight into these curricula by focusing on case studies in Lebanon and Jordan Morocco Kuwait and Qatar and in Malaysia. In doing so the book aims to answer the following questions: What is the aim of religious education? Does it aim to create people who specialize solely in religious affairs or does it aim to form the student according to a comprehensive human framework? What is the nature of the relationship between the social sciences and the Shariah sciences? The book concludes by examining three pioneering institutions which have introduced alternative curricula in teaching Shariah studies. The book has wide geographic and ideological coverage and will appeal to university students academics and policy analysts working across a range of disciplines including the philosophy of knowledge Islamic law and education and sociology. | Studying Islam in the Arab World The Rupture Between Religion and the Social Sciences

Global Governance and Interaction between International Institutions Eurasian International Organizations in the World Politics and Economy

Global Governance and Interaction between International Institutions Eurasian International Organizations in the World Politics and Economy

This book builds on theory of authoritarian regionalism and is the first attempt to analyse the interaction of authoritarian regional organizations in Eurasia with their global and regional counterparts (NATO EU WTO IMF etc. ). It analyses three decades of the development of post-Soviet regional organizations prior to the tectonic geopolitical and security changes of 2022. Eurasian regional organizations created by Russia have been frequently perceived as attempts to establish ‘alternatives’ to the global governance institutions and to compete with other regional organizations like for example the European Union (EU). They are seen as a pronounced example of ‘authoritarian regionalism’ i. e. regional organizations established by non-democracies. The way they interact with global and regional institutions has however remained understudied. This book aims to close this gap. It places Eurasia within a global context and considers similar trends world-wide as well as outlines the agenda for future studies of global versus regional governance. The book sheds light on long-term strategies of Russia in Eurasia in global economy and in world politics and on the interaction between Russia and other post-Soviet states. With an extended introduction and conclusion this book is an insightful resource for scholars; advanced students; and researchers of politics international relations and Eurasian area-studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Post-Communist Economies. | Global Governance and Interaction between International Institutions Eurasian International Organizations in the World Politics and Economy

The Politics of Silence Voice and the In-Between Exploring Gender Race and Insecurity from the Margins

The Politics of Silence Voice and the In-Between Exploring Gender Race and Insecurity from the Margins

The Politics of Silence Voice and the In-Between: Exploring Gender Race and Insecurity from the Margins seeks to dismantle the deficit discourses generated through research about people as agency-less and by extension objects of study. The book argues that regardless of marginalisation people create spaces of liminality where they seek control over their lives by navigating the structures that exclude them. Challenging the false binary of silence as violence and voice as power the book introduces the idea of an in-between ‘liminal space’ which is created by people to navigate conditions of oppression and move towards a politically stable and inclusive world. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of gender studies international development peace and conflict studies politics and international relations sociology and media studies. It will be an important resource for courses incorporating gender feminist and postcolonial perspectives. | The Politics of Silence Voice and the In-Between Exploring Gender Race and Insecurity from the Margins

India in the World 1500 to the Present

India in the World 1500 to the Present

If we look back at world history in the past five hundred years it is evident that Indian ideas peoples and goods helped drive world connections. From the quest to reach the Indies that drove Iberian rulers to fund costly expeditions that ultimately connected the Old World with the Americas to Gandhi’s creed of non-violence that created transnational resistance movements India has been crucial to world history. In what ways have the movement of goods people and ideas from India served to connect the world? Conversely how has India’s global history shaped the many boundaries and inequalities that have divided the world despite—and at times because of—the transnational connections often lumped together under the aegis of globalization? Through its emphasis on both linkages and boundaries India in the World examines the range of connections between India and the world in a truly global perspective. | India in the World 1500 to the Present

When Jews Argue Between the University and the Beit Midrash

When Jews Argue Between the University and the Beit Midrash

This book re-thinks the relationship between the world of the traditional Jewish study hall (the Beit Midrash) and the academy: Can these two institutions overcome their vast differences? Should they attempt to do so? If not what could two methods of study seen as diametrically opposed possibly learn from one another? How might they help each other reconceive their interrelationship themselves and the broader study of Jews and Judaism? This book begins with three distinct approaches to these challenges. The chapters then follow the approaches through an interdisciplinary series of pioneering case studies that reassess a range of topics including religion and pluralism in Jewish education; pain sexual consent and ethics in the Talmud; the place of reason and devotion among Jewish thinkers as diverse as Moses Mendelssohn Jacob Taubes Sarah Schenirer Ibn Chiquitilla Yair Ḥayim Bacharach and the Rav Shagar; and Jewish law as a response to the post-Holocaust landscape. The authors are scholars of rabbinics history linguistics philosophy law and education many of whom also have traditional religious training or ordination. The result is a book designed for learned scholars non-specialists and students of varying backgrounds and one that is sure to spark debate in the university the Beit Midrash and far beyond. | When Jews Argue Between the University and the Beit Midrash

Between the Psyche and the Polis Refiguring History in Literature and Theory

Between the Psyche and the Polis Refiguring History in Literature and Theory

This title was first published in 2000. Incorporating studies of Freudian and Marxist approaches to questions of history and memory this timely collection illuminates how history is being refigured in contemporary literary cultural and theoretical studies. The contributors to this volume invite the reader to attend to the forms - linguistic visual monumental - by which a connection with or separation from the past takes place. It is current thinking about memory's relationship to history and the ongoing critical reassessment of historicism that preoccupies this collection. The volume explores the ways in which current thinking about the past operates within a dialogic space and can be located in relation to multiple perspectives. Thus cultural memory can be seen not just as a recent development within the field of cultural studies but as constructing a between-space which also draws in aspects of psychoanalysis. Similarly trauma theory may usefully be conceptualized as operating in a rich and complex dynamic between deconstruction and the work of Freud. Temporality memory and the past are attended to here in terms of the dislocations of narrative of resistances to linear genealogies to aid the reader in making unanticipated connections between theories and cultures and between the demands of the psyche and the polis. | Between the Psyche and the Polis Refiguring History in Literature and Theory

The World to Come Writings on Ethics and Politics

The World to Come Writings on Ethics and Politics

At the heart of the messianic thinking lies an unconditional idea of redemption. The messianic idea of unconditionality is based upon a qualitative distinction between the unredeemed world and the world to come. It is fundamental to this messianic idea that this distinction can't be grasped as transition or mediation. Taking his inspiration from thinkers like Jacques Derrida Emmanuel Lévinas Walter Benjamin and Franz Rosenzweig Saitya Brata Das renews here this task of the unconditional the task of thinking “the advent of pure future that is always to come unenclosed in the bounds of law or in the cages of the “worldly”. He thereby draws profound ethico-political implications from such a thought that opens up the infinitude of the future from the heart of our finitude and shows that such thinking is the very task of our time. | The World to Come Writings on Ethics and Politics

Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

In particular the chapters explore the landscapes of extraction as material networks that brought people space and labor together in harvesting raw materials cultivating agriculture for export-level profits and circulating raw materials and commodities in Europe Africa and the Americas from 1500 to 1850. This book argues that histories of extraction remain incomplete without careful attention to the social physical and mental nexus that is architecture just as architecture’s development in the last 500 years cannot be adequately comprehended without attention to empire extraction colonialism and the rise of what Immanuel Wallerstein has called the world system. This world system was possible because of built environments that enabled resource extraction transport of raw materials circulation of commodities and enactment of power relations in the struggle between capital and labor. Separated into three sections: Harvesting the Environment Cultivating Profit and Circulating Commodities: Networks and Infrastructures this volume covers a wide range of geographies from England to South America from Africa to South Carolina. The book aims to decenter Eurocentric approaches to architectural history to expose the global circulation of ideas things commodities and people that constituted the architecture of extraction in the Atlantic World. In focusing on extraction we aim to recover histories of labor exploitation and racialized oppression of interest to the global community. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural history geography urban and labor history literary studies historic preservation and colonial studies. | Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

The Link between Specific Forms of Online and Offline Victimization A Collaboration Between the ASC Division of Victimology and Division of

This book features the empirical work of internationally known scholars providing an in-depth examination of the overlap between online and offline victimization and offending. The vast expanse of the Internet has provided a limitless playground for offenders to prey on those unaware of their predators or well as those who are intimately familiar with their offenders. However the Internet does not isolate offenders into mutually exclusive categories. Instead it has allowed many offenders to use both offline and online platforms to commit crime. It also opened up more opportunity for violation of victims. This volume features two divisions of the American Society of Criminology the Division of Victimology and Division of Cybercrime who have joined forces to sponsor a special issue on the overlap between forms of online and offline victimization and offending. International scholars in this book provide a notable spectrum of different forms of this phenomenon as well as predictors of these behaviors. The Link between Specific Forms of Online and Offline Victimization will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of Victimology Cybercime Criminology and Criminal Justice. The chapters included in this book were originally published in Victims & Offenders. | The Link between Specific Forms of Online and Offline Victimization A Collaboration Between the ASC Division of Victimology and Division of

Turkism and the Soviets The Turks of the World and Their Political Objectives

Turkism and the Soviets The Turks of the World and Their Political Objectives

Turkism and the Soviets (1957) uses Turkish Russian and Western sources to present a remarkable study of the Turkish world and its importance in international relations. It thoroughly examines the two factors which give this huge ethnic group its great importance – the strategic position of their territories and secondly their homogeneity and common objectives. Throughout this book the role of the Turkish peoples is examined as an issue intimately connected with the problem of the USSR and Communism. The southern border of the Soviet Union divides the Turkish world into two halves and partially cuts through the living area of the Turkish people. This is the area which contains the most important Soviet oil fields. The section of the book which deals with the splintering away of the Turkic portions of the USSR is of vital importance. | Turkism and the Soviets The Turks of the World and Their Political Objectives

Faculty Mobility China and the World

Faculty Mobility China and the World

Adopting curriculum vitae (CV) analysis method this book collects CVs of university faculty from 109 universities of The Double First Class University Plan in China and systematically analyses the mobility pattern of faculty in China for the first time. Examining the overall mobility frequency of Chinese faculty and its growing rate the authors predict that after the epidemic with the growing number of returned overseas talents there may be a third wave of faculty mobility. They demonstrate that East Asia the United States and Europe are the main channels for the inward talent mobility to China and there are significant differences in China’s faculty mobility among different regions disciplines and genders which deserves further investigation. Furthermore they argue the influencing factors of faculty mobility between China and foreign countries are highly different too.
