Comments
This MA seminar problematizes the expression “Salafiyya” that nowadays often serves as an umbrella term for various phenomena of modern Islam. Constructing an idealized Islamic history evolving around the pristine community of early Muslims (al-salaf al-salih) is not a phenomenon that did not develop until the 19th century. Historical spotlights will elucidate various aspects of the development of this framing. A wider historical perspective counterbalances the widespread focus if not fixation on the threat of political Salafism. The strong connection of Salafi topics and methods to the Hanbali School of law deserves particular attention but so do the (post)modern conditions of media society. Students have to take part in a final written test. close
