Topics include pre-Islamic Arabia, the Prophet Muhammad and the first Muslims, the Qur’an and shari’a, basic ritual practices, mysticism, theology and philosophy, Shi’ism, the visual and musical arts, women, modernism, fundamentalism, and Islam in the USA. Draws on historical, sociological, anthropological, and literary-critical approaches and utilizes a range of primary and secondary material to examine the development of Islamic religious practices and ideals as they interact with larger social and cultural processes. While we will be concerned to understand how practitioners of Islam interpret their beliefs and actions, we will also place ‘insider’ perspectives in a broader social and historical context. Religion is a segment of culture, and thus we undertake our inquiry into Islam in the spirit of the Quranic injunction that ‘humanity consider from what it is created’.

  • CLWR 5410 - Contemporary Religious Thought

    Since the end of World War II new movements have arisen in every major religious tradition. This resurgence of religion as a political and social force responds to a widespread and profound concern at the failure of modernity and secular nationalism to bring prosperity and provide meaning for life. Looks at the New Age Movements and Liberation Theology in the 1960s, movements generally called fundamentalist that arose in the 1970s, and militant movements that justify the use of violence that have emerged in the last two decades. Research paper on a major thinker or contemporary movement in one of the great world religious traditions–Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam required.

  • CLWR 5420 - Political Islam

    Why have some Muslims turned to religion as a source for political identity in the contemporary world? What terms should we use to describe this phenomenon? Which individuals and groups have embraced the religio-political renewal, and why have they done so? What forms have the renewal movements taken? In what directions have they developed? What role, in particular, have modernizing states played in the instrumentalizing of Islamic institutions for purposes of control and legitimacy? How have non-state actors–the `ulama’, lay activists, social movements–responded to the conditions created by modernizing states? Addresses these questions by exploring a range of case studies in different national/cultural context–Africa (Morocco, Sudan, Somalia), Southeast Asia (Indonesia), Western Europe (France, Germany, the Netherlands), and North America (US and Canada). Through these case studies, probes what we mean by ‘political Islam’–but also the politics of Islam, and what the implications are for a wider globalized modernity.
