      A Global Sociology of Modernity

      5,0(1)Évaluer

      This book combines contemporary discussions on modernity with the history of the Muslim world. From a heuristic perspective, it is sketching out a framework for a global sociology of modernity. This framework attempts to accommodate a core assumption of classical modernization theory – the global nature of modernity – with the pluralistic perspective of the rise of a multiplicity of historically concrete forms of modernities. It tries to reconcile a universalistic concept of modernity with the fact of modernity’s multiple historical realizations. At the same time, this discussion of contemporary social theory puts forward a critique of the still so conveniently applied equation of modernization with Westernization. In empirical terms, the book substantiates this critique in drawing its exemplary illustrations from the historical experience of Muslim peoples. Bringing Muslim history and discussions in social theory together, this book represents a synthesis of research efforts in sociology and Islamic studies.

      A Genealogy of the Modern Essentialist Image of Islam

      Focusing on the similarities between Islam and Western perspectives, the book challenges the prevailing dichotomy that portrays Islam as either hostile or compatible with modernity. It examines the evolution of essentialist views of Islam through the historical interactions of Western and Muslim intellectuals since the nineteenth century. By analyzing these intellectual encounters, the author reveals how a complex interplay of interpretations has shaped public perceptions of Islam within a global context, transforming elite discourse into widely accepted narratives.

      Orientalists, Islamists and the Global Public Sphere
    • Focusing on the interplay between Islam and the West, the book challenges prevailing narratives that depict Islam as either inherently opposed to or compatible with modernity. It explores how both Western and Muslim intellectuals have shaped a shared, essentialist view of Islam through historical interactions since the nineteenth century. By analyzing key figures and their contributions, the text reveals the evolution of this discourse within a global public sphere, illustrating how complex interpretations have led to a widespread acceptance of Islam as a comprehensive system in both cultures.

      Exploring the intricate relationship between Islam and modernity, this work provides a fresh perspective grounded in social theory. It delves into how contemporary issues intersect with Islamic thought, challenging conventional narratives and offering insights into the evolving dynamics of faith and modern societal structures. The author examines various aspects of this relationship, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on religion in the context of modern challenges.

      Islamic Modernities in World Society
    • Islam in global modernity

      Sociological Theory and the Diversity of Islamic Modernities

      This book combines sociological theorising with studies on the Middle East and Islam. The diversity of modernities that can be observed in our world is linked to the claim of living in a global modernity, in a world society. The book underpins this claim with numerous excursions into Islamic history. It criticises the view that modernisation can be equated with westernisation and considers different projects of specifically Islamic modernities as integral parts of world society. From this perspective, the study contributes to the „provincialisation“ of European history in contemporary social scientific thought. Contrary to the theories of postcolonialism associated with the call for the provincialisation of Europe, however, this book adheres to essential traditions of classical sociology. It thus aims to make a contribution to the social theoretical discussion on modernity, which is empirically underpinned with the help of data from the history of the Middle East and Islam. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

    • Modern Subjectivities in World Society

      Global Structures and Local Practices

      • 235pages
      • 9 heures de lecture

      This book brings together theories of world society with poststructuralist and postcolonial work on modern subjectivity to understand the universalising and particularising processes of globalisation. It addresses a theoretical void in global studies by attending to the co-constituted process through which modern subjectivities and global processes emerge and interact. The editors outline a key problem in global studies, which is a lack of engagement between the local/particular/individual and the ‘universalising’ processes in which they are situated. The volume deals with this concern with contributions from historical sociologists, poststructuralist and postcolonial scholars and by focusing in the Middle East, religion in global modernity and non-human subjectivities.

      Modern Subjectivities in World Society
    • Der Islam in der globalen Moderne

      Soziologische Theorie und die Vielfalt islamischer Modernitäten

      Dieses Buch vereint soziologische Theoriebildung mit Studien zum Nahen Osten und zum Islam. Die Vielfalt von Modernitäten, die in unsere Welt beobachtet werden kann, wird dabei mit dem Anspruch verbunden, gleichzeitig in einer globalen Moderne, in einer Weltgesellschaft zu leben. Das Buch untermauert diesen Anspruch mit zahlreichen Exkursen in die islamische Geschichte. Es kritisiert die Auffassung, dass Modernisierung mit Verwestlichung gleichzusetzen wäre und betrachtet unterschiedliche Projekte von spezifisch islamischen Modernitäten als integrale Teile der Weltgesellschaft. Aus dieser Perspektive leistet die Studie einen Beitrag zur „Provinzialisierung“ der europäischen Geschichte im zeitgenössischen sozialwissenschaftlichen Denken. Entgegen den mit der Aufforderung zur Provinzialisierung Europas verbundenen Theorien des Postkolonialismus hält dieses Buch aber an wesentlichen Traditionen der klassischen Soziologie fest. Es will damit einen Beitrag zur sozialtheoretischen Diskussion um die Moderne leisten, der empirisch mit Hilfe von Daten aus der Geschichte des Nahen Ostens und des Islams untermauert wird.

      Das Ende des Ost-West-Konfliktes und die Ereignisse nach dem 11. September 2001 haben zu einer Flut von Literatur über „neue“ oder „postmoderne“ Kriege geführt. Die Autoren dieses Bandes sehen dagegen keinen radikalen Wandel im weltweiten Kriegsgeschehen. Nicht die Kriege und ihre Ursachen, sondern deren Interpretation ist neu. Die sich wandelnden Erscheinungsformen der Kriege folgen vielmehr langfristigen Entwicklungstendenzen. Sie sind Ausdruck der widersprüchlichen Entwicklungen der kapitalistischen Moderne. Ziel der Autoren ist es, die weit über 200 Kriege des Zeitraums zwischen 1945 und 2002 sowohl in ihrem globalen Zusammenhang zu erklären als auch die Besonderheiten regionaler Kriegsentwicklungen in Afrika, Asien, Lateinamerika, dem Nahem Osten und Europa herauszuarbeiten. Ihre kenntnisreiche Darstellung des Kriegsgeschehens ist eingebettet in einen umfassenden gesellschaftstheoretischen Erklärungsrahmen, der den Formwandel der Gewalt aus der historischen Entwicklung der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft zur Weltgesellschaft erklärt. Damit leistet der Band eine theoretisch geleitete, historisch fundierte und empirisch gehaltvolle Darstellung des Kriegsgeschehens seit 1945, wie sie in der deutschsprachigen Literatur so bisher nicht vorlag.
