Legal Pluralism in Muslim Contexts
Approaches to legal pluralism vary widely across the spectrum of different disciplines. They comprise normative and descriptive perspectives, focus both on legal pluralist realities as well as public debates, and address legal pluralism in a range of different societies with varying political, institutional and historical conditions. Emphasising an empirical research to contemporary legal pluralist settings in Muslim contexts, the present collected volume contributes to a deepened understanding of legal pluralist issues and realities through comparative examination. This approach reveals some common features, such as the relevance of Islamic law in power struggles and in the construction of ...
Authoritarianism, Informal Law, and Legal Hybridity
This book investigates Turkey’s departure from a ‘flawed democracy’ under Kemalist secularism, and its transitioning into Islamist authoritarian Erdoğanism, through the lenses of informal law, legal pluralism, and legal hybridity. In doing so, it examines the attempts of Turkey’s ruling party (AKP) at social engineering and gradual Islamisation of the Turkish state and society, by using informal Islamist laws. To that end, the book argues that the AKP has paved the way for Islamist legal hybridity where society, state, and law, are being gradually Islamised on an ad hoc basis. Informal law and legal pluralism in Turkey have had a non-state characteristic which have permitted Muslims to solve disputes by seeking the opinions of religio-legal scholars. Yet under the AKP rule, this informal legal system has become increasingly dominated by conservatives, sometimes radical Islamists, which the governing party has taken advantage of by either formalizing some parts of the informal Islamist law, or using it informally to mobilize its supporters against the opposition.
A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, Supplement
The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law, also with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.
Sharia as Informal Law
This book takes a comprehensive approach to investigate how Sharia influences and manifests in the everyday lives of young Muslims, aiming to unravel the meaning and relevance of Sharia-driven laws and practices in English-speaking Western societies. By focusing on the grassroots level, it provides a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of Muslims and their relationship with Sharia. The presence of Muslims in Western countries has a long history, with recent waves of migration and conversions contributing to their increasing numbers. This study recognizes the diverse nature of the Muslim community, comprising both migrants and local converts, who have become integral parts of the pl...
The Woman Question in Islamic Studies
The interconnected ways that sexism functions in academic Islamic studies and how to shift professional norms toward parity Despite remarkable shifts in the demographics of Islamic studies in recent decades, the field continues to be dominated by men, who often relegate other scholars and their work—particularly research on gender—to its periphery, while treating subfields in which men predominate as more rigorous and central. In The Woman Question in Islamic Studies, Kecia Ali explores the interconnected ways that sexism functions in academic Islamic studies. Examining publications, citations, curricula, and media representations, Ali finds that, despite the growth and depth of scholars...
Religion und Atmosphäre
Das Erleben von Atmosphären ist zentral für religiöse Praxis, denn sie sind ein ausschlaggebender Faktor für das Fortbestehen oder Scheitern religiöser Vergemeinschaftung: Wenn Transzendenz für religiöse Akteure nicht auch atmosphärisch verfügbar gemacht wird, können religiöse Innovationen kaum Anziehungs- und Bindungskräfte entfalten. Martin Radermacher entwickelt erstmals ein religionswissenschaftliches Atmosphärenkonzept in theoretischer und methodischer Hinsicht. Empirisch stehen katholische Initiativen in Deutschland im Mittelpunkt. Diese präsentieren Zugänge zum christlichen Glauben, die überkonfessionell sowie niedrigschwellig angelegt und von einer »besonderen Atmosphäre« geprägt sind.
Das islamische Recht
Das islamische Recht ist im Westen durch spektakuläre Todesurteile und drakonische Körperstrafen in Verruf geraten, ansonsten aber weitgehend unbekannt. Was ist die Scharia? Was ist eine Fatwa? Kann es im Islam eine Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter geben? Diese und andere Fragen behandelt Mathias Rohe in der ersten umfassenden Darstellung des islamischen Rechts seit Jahrzehnten. Erstmals beschreibt in diesem Buch ein islamwissenschaftlich geschulter Jurist Entstehung, Entwicklung und gegenwärtige Ausformung des islamischen Rechts. Mathias Rohe erläutert die wichtigsten islamischem Rechtsquellen und Rechtsfindungsmethoden und schildert die Regelungsbereiche des klassischen islamischen ...
