1 ANTH 5402 Topics in Ethnography Understanding Contemporary Islam ANTH 5402 FALL 2012 NAH 11 Lecture: Wednesday Tutorial: Wednesday Teacher: Minaz G. Master Course Description Contemporary understanding of Islam is strongly influenced by the media which often provides politically motivated biased perceptions that are based on the orthodox interpretations of Islam observed by some Muslim societies. The Muslim world seems to be in a crisis over the question of authority and representation; how Islam is represented, how it should be represented, who should represent it and what the consequences of this representation are. The canonization of the Quran further complicates the issue of authority. This course will encourage the students to understand how the core beliefs of Islam are translated into practices and institutions, thereby addressing some current political issues. We will be examining the social institutions and cultural expressions of the religious community through the anthropological studies of Islam as it is lived and practiced by believers both within Muslim societies and non-muslim societies. We will start our study of Islam by examining the historical developments of Islam in pre- Islamic Arabia and look at the life of the Prophet Muhammad. Then we will examine some aspects of Islamic civilization, culture and philosophy. Finally we will address the issues of the so-called politicization of religion in the context of globalizing modernity and violent conflict. One of the dominant theories maintains that Western and Islamic civilizations are destined to be in a state of permanent conflict with each other, through this course we will investigate the insights that anthropological analyses can offer to discussions centering the relations between Muslim societies and the West. Course Objectives Study and appreciate the contemporary cultural diversity, values and world views of Muslims living in diverse circumstances and spaces Introduce the contemporary struggles over religious authority and orthodoxy in some parts of the Muslim world To identify with the ideas and practices relating to gender, education and art To assist students in understanding and appreciating the complexity of the lives of Muslims in the contemporary world
