Producing Islamic Knowledge

Transmission and dissemination in Western Europe

How do Muslims in Europe acquire discursive and practical knowledge of Islam? How are conceptions of Islamic beliefs, values and practices transmitted and how do they change? Who are the authorities on these issues that Muslims listen to? How do new Muslim discourses emerge in response to the European context? This book addresses the broader question of how Islamic knowledge (defined as what Muslims hold to be correct Islamic beliefs and practices) is being produced and reproduced in West European contexts by looking at specific settings, institutions and religious authorities. Chapters examine in depth four key areas relating to the production and reproduction of Islamic knowledge: authoritative answers in response to explicit questions in the form of fatwas. the mosque and mosque association as the setting of much formal and informal transmission of Islamic knowledge. the role of Muslim intellectuals in articulating alternative Muslim discourses. higher Islamic education in Europe and the training of imams and other religious functionaries. Featuring contributions from leading sociologists and anthropologists, the book presents the findings of empirical research in these issues from a range of European countries such as France, Italy, the Netherlands and Great Britain. As such it has a broad appeal, and will be of great interest to students and scholars of Islamic studies, anthropology, sociology and religion.

Brain and Art

Could we understand, in biological terms, the unique and fantastic capabilities of the human brain to both create and enjoy art? In the past decade neuroscience has made a huge leap in developing experimental techniques as well as theoretical frameworks for studying emergent properties following the activity of large neuronal networks. These methods, including MEG, fMRI, sophisticated data analysis approaches and behavioral methods, are increasingly being used in many labs worldwide, with the goal to explore brain mechanisms corresponding to the artistic experience. The 37 articles composing this unique Frontiers Research Topic bring together experimental and theoretical research, linking state-of-the-art knowledge about the brain with the phenomena of Art. It covers a broad scope of topics, contributed by world-renowned experts in vision, audition, somato-sensation, movement, and cinema. Importantly, as we felt that a dialog among artists and scientists is essential and fruitful, we invited a few artists to contribute their insights, as well as their art. Joan Miró said that “art is the search for the alphabet of the mind.” This volume reflects the state of the art search to understand neurobiological alphabet of the Arts. We hope that the wide range of articles in this volume will be highly attractive to brain researchers, artists and the community at large.

Kegalauan Identitas: Agama, Etnisitas

Pasca-Orde Baru, semenjak reformasi 1998, muncul sebuah kata kunci yang sangat lazim, yaitu desentralisasi. Untuk Indonesia, sebuah bangsa yang dibangun oleh keanekaragaman identitas sosial budaya: suku, agama, ras, dan kelompok lain, hal ini tidak serta merta mudah dijalankan. Bukan sekadar mengganti proses-proses kelembagaan dan hukum di tingkat lokal, tetapi bagaimana menakar keterlibatan negara dan warganya dalam proses itu. Buku ini hendak memahami kegalauan identitas masyarakat, yang mencoba untuk menegaskan keberadaan diri dalam upaya pembangunan negara. Satu demi satu, kita menemukan merebaknya konflik-konflik yang berakar pada identitas kelompok. Buku ini menyoroti fenomena di banyak wilayah: perselisihan di Minangkabau, persoalan identitas di Bali, sengketa agama di Papua, kerusuhan Ambon, perdamaian di Minahasa, politikisasi Tionghoa, dan permasalahan hak intelektual. Ini merupakan sebuah pustaka kritis atas kebangsaan kita, yang mengandung urgensi bagi siapa pun yang ingin mencerna Indonesia.

Feminist Approaches to Theory and Methodology

An Interdisciplinary Reader

This collection is organized around key issues in feminist theory and empirical research. Essay topics include: tensions between disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge building; the politics of identity and experience; the complex terrain in which difference is used as a tool of oppression; the gender dynamics of power and resistance; and visual and discursive representations of the female body. The volume concludes with some methodological and political dilemmas feminists encounter as they expose the underlying ideological distortions in existing social policies.
