Al Jazeera and Democratization
Al Jazeera and Democratization analyses the increasing role of the media in political transformations with a special emphasis on the Arab world. Taking the Al Jazeera media network as a case study, the author explains how engaging the public and providing platforms for open debate and free expression contributed to the emergence of a new vibrant Arab public sphere. The launch of Al Jazeera in 1996 was a significant event that led to subsequent changes both in Arab media and politics. Among these changes, the Arab spring is certainly the most remarkable. This unprecedented phenomenon has already resulted in political change in a number of countries and is expected to generate a democratizing ...

İran Dış Politikasında İmparatorluk Vizyonu: Pers Yayılmacılığı
Devletlerin kimliklerini tanımlayış biçimleri doğrultusunda ulusal çıkarlarını da tanımladıkları görülmektedir. Bu kapsamda 1979 yılında gerçekleşen İslam Devrimi'nin ardından İran, Şiilik ile Fars kimliğini sentezleyen İranlılık olgusunu dış politikasının merkezine oturtmuştur. Bu durum, İran dış politikasında iki farklı imparatorluk vizyonunu beraberinde getirmiştir. Nitekim Tahran hem Şii-İslam Dünyası'nın siyasi ve dini kıblesi olmak istemekte hem de Fars Dünyası'nın büyük abisi olarak konumlanmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu hedefler doğrultusunda imparatorluk vizyonunu şekillendiren İran, Tahran'ı merkez karargâh olarak görmekte ve çevre...
Tamas
Translated by the author 'Tamasdrove the point home that ordinary people want to live in peace' The Guardian Set in a small-town frontier province in 1947, just before Partition, Tamas tells the story of a sweeper named Nathu who is bribed and deceived by a local Muslim politician to kill a pig, ostensibly for a veterinarian. The following morning, the carcass is discovered on the steps of the mosque and the town, already tension-ridden, erupts. Enraged Muslims massacre scores of Hindus and Sikhs, who, in turn, kill every Muslim they can find. Finally, the area's British administrators call out the army to prevent further violence. The killings stop but nothing can erase the awful memories from the minds of the survivors, nor will the various communities ever trust one another again. The events described in Tamas are based on true accounts of the riots of 1947 that Sahni was a witness to in Rawalpindi, and this new and sensitive translation by the author himself resurrects chilling memories of the consequences of communalism which are of immense relevance even today.
Models of Contextual Theology
Stephen B Bevans's Models of Contextual Theology has become a staple in courses on theological method and as a handbook used by missioners and other Christians concerned with the Christian tradition's understanding of itself in relation to culture. First published in 1992 and now in its seventh printing in English, with translations underway into Spanish, Korean, and Indonesian, Bevans's book is a judicious examination of what the terms "contextual theology" and "to contextualize" mean. In the revised and expanded edition, Bevans adds a "counter-cultural" model to the five presented in the first edition -- the translation, the anthropological, the praxis, the synthetic, and the transcendental model. This means that readers will be introduced to the way in which figures such as Stanley Hauerwas, John Milbank, Lesslie Newbigin, "and (occasionally) Pope John Paul II" need to be taken into account. The author's revisions also incorporate suggestions made by reviewers to enhance the clarity of the original three chapters on the nature of contextual theology and the five models.
