        Islam in Europa

        Eine internationale Debatte

        by Thierry Chervel, Anja Seeliger, Thierry Chervel

        Wen soll der Westen unterstützen: gemäßigte Islamisten wie Tariq Ramadan oder islamische Dissidenten wie Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Der französische Philosoph Pascal Bruckner sorgte Anfang 2007 für Aufsehen, als er in einer polemischen Streitschrift den vermeintlichen liberalen Konsens im Umgang mit dem Islam attackierte. Beweglicher und schneller, als das in den traditionellen Medien möglich gewesen wäre, entwickelte sich auf den Seiten der Internetplattformen perlentaucher.de und signandsight.com eine kontroverse Debatte, die den aktuellen Stand der Diskussion um Multikulturalismus in Europa markiert – und darüber hinausweist.

        Religiöse Entwicklungen im Islam

        Beobachtet in Marokko und Indonesien

        by Clifford Geertz, Brigitte Luchesi, Bassam Tibi

        Clifford Geertz formuliert zunächst einen allgemeinen Rahmen für die vergleichende Erforschung von Religion und wendet sein anthropologische, soziologische und historische Perspektiven integrierendes Konzept bei der Untersuchung der Entwicklung vermeintlich ein und desselben Glaubenssystems - des Islam - in zwei ziemlich gegensätzlichen Zivilisationen - Indonesien und Marokko - an. Eine Sozialgeschichte der Vorstellungskraft bietet Clifford Geertz für Marokko und Indonesien. Darauf aufbauend formuliert er im letzten Kapitel einige allgemeinere Bemerkungen zur gesellschaftlichen Rolle der Religion.

        British Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End

        The changing landscape of dress and language

        by Fatima Rajina

        Drawing on the everyday experiences of 43 British-Bangladeshi Muslims living in East London, this book explores stories of migration and belonging vis-à-vis dress and language. In narrating those stories, the book is framed within the broader socio-political conversations happening regarding Muslims in Britain and their 'place' in this society. Recent work on Muslims focuses on their religious identity and its formation, not paying attention to the role of dress and language. With the former, much of it tends to, obsessively, focus on Muslim women only. This book, alternatively, explores religious identity formation in addition to examining the British-Bangladeshi Muslim community's relationship with their ethnic identity vis-à-vis dress and language. As such, the analysis provides a rich, bottom-up analysis of the community, and readers will be able to understand a community holistically, away from the over-sensationalised community within broader socio-political context.

        The harem, slavery and British imperial culture

        Anglo-Muslim relations in the late nineteenth century

        by Diane Robinson-Dunn

        This book focuses on British efforts to suppress the traffic in female slaves destined for Egyptian harems during the late-nineteenth century. It considers this campaign in relation to gender debates in England, and examines the ways in which the assumptions and dominant imperialist discourses of these abolitionists were challenged by the newly-established Muslim communities in England, as well as by English people who converted to or were sympathetic with Islam. While previous scholars have treated antislavery activity in Egypt first and foremost as an extension of earlier efforts to abolish plantation slavery in the New World, this book considers it in terms of encounters with Islam during a period which it argues marked a new departure in Anglo-Muslim relations. This approach illuminates the role of Islam in the creation of English national identities within the global cultural system of the British Empire. This book would appeal to those with an interest in British imperial history; Islam; gender, feminism, and women's studies; slavery and race; the formation of national identities; global processes; Orientalism; and Middle Eastern studies.

        Advances in Fig Research and Sustainable Production

        by Moshe A Flaishman, Uygun Aksoy

        The common fig (Ficus carica L.) is one of the oldest fruits domesticated by humans, and is native to southwest Asia and the Mediterranean. Figs have been associated with health and prosperity since ancient times. They are rich in fibre, potassium, calcium, and iron, as well as being an important source of vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants. In recent years, increased consumption has caused fig production to shift to new countries such as Mexico, Brazil, India, and China. However, fig is a challenging fruit crop to grow. It is susceptible to insect pests and diseases as well as injuries from abiotic stress during fruit development and ripening. As a delicate fruit it also requires complicated postharvest procedures and climate change presents additional challenges. Comprising 29 chapters written by international experts, the book includes sections on: History Biology and Orchard Management Fruit Ripening and Postharvest Management Pests and Diseases Omics Analysis Cultivars and Breeding Products and Trade. This volume serves as a comprehensive reference for current and future practices of fig production, consumption, research and innovation, and is essential for academic researchers, and those involved in research and development in the fig industry.

        Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States

        Power, identity and strategy in the Persian Gulf triangle

        by Luíza Cerioli

        This book offers a nuanced snapshot of the complex geopolitical dynamics in the Persian Gulf, underlining the interaction between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the US. Examining their interwoven relations since the 1970s, Luíza Cerioli's framework reveals how changes in US-Saudi ties have ripple effects on Iran-US and Iran-Saudi relations and vice versa. Using a historical lens, she explores how enduring US-Saudi connections hinge on order expectations, delves into the cognitive factors shaping US-Iran enmity and traces the source of oscillation in the Saudi-Iran ties. Employing Neoclassical Realism, the book investigates status-seeking, national identities and leadership preferences, offering a deeper understanding of the region's multipolar system. By combining International Relations and Middle East Studies, Cerioli's work contributes to both fields, unravelling the intricate interplay between international structures, regional nuances and agency in shaping Persian Gulf geopolitics.

        Development, architecture, and the formation of heritage in late twentieth-century Iran

        A vital past

        by Ali Mozaffari, Nigel Westbrook

        This book analyses the use of the past and the production of heritage through architectural design in the developmental context of Iran, a country that has endured radical cultural and political shifts in the past five decades. Offering a trans-disciplinary approach toward complex relationship between architecture, development, and heritage, Mozaffari and Westbrook suggest that transformations in developmental contexts like Iran must be seen in relation to global political and historical exchanges, as well as the specificities of localities. The premise of the book is that development has been a globalizing project that originated in the West. Transposed into other contexts, this project instigates a renewed historical consciousness and imagination of the past. The authors explore the rise of this consciousness in architecture, examining the theoretical context to the debates, international exchanges made in architectural congresses in the 1970s, the use of housing as the vehicle for everyday heritage, and forms of symbolic public architecture that reflect monumental time.

        Capitalism in contemporary Iran

        Capital accumulation, state formation and geopolitics

        by Kayhan Valadbaygi

        By situating Iran within the neoliberal global capitalism and resulting geopolitics, this book traces the patterns of capital accumulation and transformations in class and state formation emanating from it. It shows that Iranian neoliberalisation has brought about two capital fractions, namely the internationally-oriented capital fraction and the military-bonyad complex. It substantiates that the co-existence of these competing class fractions with different accumulation strategies has generated hybrid neoliberalism. The book further demonstrates how this new class formation has reorganised the function and operation of state institutions and transformed state ideology. By documenting the ways in which Iranian neoliberalisation has reshaped the subaltern classes and formed Iran's volatile foreign policy, it also provides a novel account of major events and processes in contemporary Iran, such as the post-2017 wave of uprisings, the nuclear programme and international sanctions.

        Founder's Notes

        by JI Qi

        Founder’s Note is a collection of essays written by Ji Qi, the founder/co- founder of three Chinese billion-dollar enterprises: Ctrip Travel Network, Home Inns Group and Huazhu Hotel Group. This book is divided into three parts: Heaven, Earth and Man. “Heaven” reflects Ji Qi’s philosophy of life, which has a great impact on his business. From this, we can see how the spirits of the founder bring about the rapid development of the business. “Earth” records Ji Qi’s thinking and experience in his down-to-earth founding, development and operation of these three enterprises, including his “darkest moments”, the most important business decisions he has made, and his assumptions and understanding of some significant topics, such as China’s services, China’s dream and the future of hotels and so on. “Man” is more personal. In this part, he talks about people and food in his hometown, his study of wine, experience of traveling, and views on friendship, poetry, contemporary art and so forth. By reading this book, readers could understand the different and special perspective of the representative Chinese entrepreneur of the 1960s generation. Readers will not only gain nourishment from Ji Qi’s successful experience, but also absorb energy from his philosophy and life aesthetics.

        Islam und Moderne. Die neuen Denker
        November 2012

        Islam und Moderne. Die neuen Denker

        by Rachid Benzine, Hadiya Gurtmann

        Intellektualität und Frömmigkeit zu vereinbaren, das ist das Ziel einer ganzen Generation muslimischer Denker. Unabdingbare Voraussetzung dafür ist die Entwicklung einer neuen Hermeneutik der Koraninterpretation, zu der muslimische Gelehrte aus zahlreichen Ländern ihren Beitrag leisten und dafür mitunter Kopf und Kragen riskieren. Ihre Namen sind hierzulande noch kaum bekannt, da die wenigsten ihrer Schriften ins Deutsche übersetzt worden sind. Dennoch findet ihr Beitrag zur Versöhnung des Islams mit der Moderne auch in Deutschland hohe Anerkennung: So war zum Beispiel der 2010 verstorbene gebürtige Algerier Mohammed Arkoun, Professor an der Sorbonne in Paris, Fellow am Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, desgleichen der ebenfalls 2010 verstorbene Ägypter Nasr Hamid Abu Said. Andere Vertreter, die Benzine in seinem Buch darstellt, sind Fazlur Rahman, Farid Esack (Südafrika), Abdul Karim Sorush (Iran) und Abdelmajid Charfi (Tunesien). Neben dem leidenschaftlichen Engagement für die Sache, der sich diese neuen Denker verschrieben haben und so zu Hoffnungsträgern für viele Muslime geworden sind, beeindruckt die persönliche Opferbereitschaft, die manchem von ihnen abverlangt wurde. Abu Saids Ehe etwa wurde zwangsgeschieden, er erhielt Morddrohungen und mußte ins niederländische Exil flüchten.
