Sunni Communities In The Islamic Republic Of Iran, 2013-2021 - Securitization, Secularization And Privatization

by Hessam Habibi Doroh

166,95€ + 10% CARD

 Sunni-Shia relations in Iran offer an analytical guide for the interpretation of inequality, securitization, and immigration. This book reorients our understanding of contemporary Iran by answering still unacknowledged questions: how is the relationship, the interaction and socio-political behaviour between the Islamic Republic and its Sunni minorities? Using unexamined sources and fieldwork, Hessam Habibi Doroh shows a clear insight into the life of Iranian Sunnis, their contention and cooperation with the state during Hasan Rouhani's presidency. Comparison with the wider region complements this nuanced portrayal of impacts of privatization, secularization, and securitization on the sectarian relations between the state and its minorities.

Architecture, Power And Religion In Lebanon - Rafiq Hariri And The Politics Of Sacred Space In Beirut

by Ward Vloeberghs

294,15€ + 10% CARD

 In Architecture, Power and Religion in Lebanon, Ward Vloeberghs explores Rafiq Hariri's patronage and his posthumous legacy to demonstrate how religious architecture becomes a site for power struggles in contemporary Beirut. By tracing the 150 year-long history of the Muhammad al-Amin Mosque - Lebanon's principal Sunni mosque - and the subsequent development of the site as a commemoration venue, this account offers a unique illustration of how architecture, religion and power become discursively and visually entangled. Set in a multi-confessional society marked by social inequalities and political fragmentation, this interdisciplinary study analyses how architectural practice and urban reconfigurations reveal a nascent personality cult, communal mourning, and the consolidation of political territory in relation to constantly shifting circumstances.

L'Autorite Religieuse Et Ses Limites En Terres D'Islam - Approches Historiques Et Anthropologiques

255,73€ + 10% CARD

 Reprenant a nouveaux frais la question de l'autorite religieuse, ce livre presente differents cas d'etude en Asie centrale, a travers l'Empire ottoman, dans les Balkans et en Turquie. Sont examines les rapports complexes qu'entretiennent, avec le pouvoir politique, cheikhs soufis, oulemas, sheikh ul-islam, hegoumenes, ou encore clerge latin a l'epoque premoderne. Les XXe et XXIe siecles sont analyses du point de vue des transformations de l'autorite religieuse, certes fragmentee mais vigoureuse, en particulier chez les reformistes musulmans bosniaques et les Bektashis albanais, egalement parmi les Alevis d'Anatolie ou bien dans le soufisme feminin a Istanbul. Il apparait que l'autorite religieuse depasse le seul cadre des autorites traditionnelles et se heurte sans cesse a des limites theologiques, politiques, sociales ou institutionnelles.Ont contribue/contributors include: Elisabetta Borromeo, Xavier Bougarel, Rachida Chih, Nathalie Clayer, Jerome Cler, Benoit Fliche, Anna Neubauer, Alexandre Papas, Nicolas Vatin, Gilles Veinstein.Reconsidering the question of religious authority, L'autorite religieuse et ses limites en terres d'islam offers various case studies located in Central Asia, throughout the Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans and in Turkey. The present volume discusses the complex relationships between political power and religious authorities, such as Sufi shaykhs, ulamas, sheikh ul-islam, hegumens, and the latin clergy in the premodern period. The 20th and 21th centuries are analysed from the perspective of the transformation of religious authority - certainly fragmented but vigorous - among the Bosnian Muslim Reformists, the Albanian Bektashis, the Alevis of Anatolia, and in female Sufism in Istanbul. It appears that religious authority is not limited to traditional authorities and is continuously confronted with limits, whether theological, political, social or institutional.
