The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of the Middle East
The sociology of the Middle East has been an expanding field of inquiry since the aftermath of World War II, when phenomena as diverse as urbanization, internal and international migration, and peasant societies attracted the attention of scholars working on the region. The Middle East became central in key sociological debates on modernization theory and the critical responses. The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of the Middle East connects thi…
ReOrienting Religion
This study presents a case of East–West entanglement not confined to dynamics internal to the Western trajectory of production and critique of Eurocentric notions of religion. It explores how the critical opening initiated by Wilfred Cantwell Smith in 1962 against reifying “religion” cannot be treated exclusively as an antecedent to the critical genealogy of religion performed by Talal Asad. We suggest that it needs to be read in the context of S…

Dissociation and Appropriation
The Wiley Blackwell History of Islam
In an effort to enliven the review section of the AHR, we have been experimenting with new ways of evaluating scholarship of all kinds. In a number of instances, we have asked several scholars to review a single book or film, in order to bring a variety of critical views to bear on issues of historical importance. Our April 2019 issue, for example, presented four distinctive reviews of Michael A. Gomez’s African Dominion; in the April 2020 AHR, f…

Sufi articulations of civility, globality, and sovereignty
This article provides an analysis of Sufi life and organization, combining historical depth and theoretical awareness. It investigates how Sufism emerged as an urban phenomenon. Sufi brotherhoods were at the forefront of a proto-globalization based on a hemisphere-wide networking between metropolitan regions, rural provinces, and nomadic formations. Furthermore, cities became nodes within wider circulations, rather than, as in European and Weberi…

Islam and the Quest for a European Secular Identity
This study explores the process of cumulative ‘symbolic sublimation’ of power within secular formations as it unfolded through the formative phases that saw in Western Europe the rise and consolidation of patterns first of state sovereignty (within early modernity) and then of social solidarity (within late, colonial and postcolonial modernity). It spells out the process of symbolic sublimation through which secular power justifies itself in cult…
New Media, the “Arab Spring,” and the Metamorphosis of the Public Sphere
Civility
This study explores the question of if and how associative bonds based on violence, control and self-restraint mediated by contractual relationships become institutionalised within societies and discusses the cultural factors that determine this threshold. It investigates the trade-off between formalised forms of interaction that safeguard individual rights and secure state control, and less formal modes of civility that deepen trans-state interc…
New Media and Collective Action in the Middle East
Islamicate Secularities
In the colonial era, new distinctions and differentiations between religious and non-religious spheres took shape within inner-Islamic discourses, partly as a product of encounters with Western knowledge. This introduction conceptualizes these distinctions and differentiations in relation to Islam, drawing on Marshall Hodgson’s concept of the Islamicate, which we employ for our heuristic notion of Islamicate secularities. It charts the paradigmat…
Religion, Social Practice, and Contested Hegemonies
Muslim traditions and modern techniques of power
This volume deals with historical and contemporary articulations of the relation of tension between the civilizing impetus of Muslim traditions, and modern forms, fields and techniques of power. These techniques are associated with the process of state-building, as well as with the related constraints of disciplining, normative cohesion, control of the territory and monitored social differentiation. The contributions conceptualize Muslim traditio…
Between Europe and Islam
In the last two decades of the 20th century, theorising on modernity has entered a new stage. The former dichotomy between an active West exporting its successful model of modernity on a global scale and passive non-Westerners gratefully implementing this model in their own societies has been challenged by critical anthropology and postcolonial studies, and further elaborated upon within social theory. This volume focuses on Europe and the Islami…

Islam in Process
The articles included in this Yearbook of the Sociology of focus on two perspectives. Some link the comparative analysis of Islam to ongoing debates on the Axial Age and its role in the formation of major civilizations, while others are more concerned with historical constellations and sources involved in the formation of Islam as a religion and a civilization. More than any other particular line of inquiry, new historical and sociological approa…

Islam and the political discourse of modernity
Islam and modernity, modernity and Islam: different approaches in historiography and the social sciences attempt to find a significant connection between these two, allegedly separate, certainly distinct, "forces of history". The option of seeing both entities as plural in an ultimate effort to de-essentialize them (see al-Azmeh, 1993), is not itself sufficient to overcome the tension inherent in their juxtaposition. Yet unbiased attempts to view…
New Media, the “Arab Spring,” and the Metamorphosis of the Public Sphere
The public sphere and Muslim identities
The historical and contemporary development of certain informal and formal articulations of Muslim social and political identities and forms of association in Muslim-majority and Arab societies has facilitated the emergence of a public sphere and limited the coercive power of state authority. This article suggests how a greater focus on religious ideas and forms of association can enhance the concept of the public sphere so that it better account…
Making Public Space
Recent research suggests that the settling of Muslims in secular Europe is leading to the individualisation of their religious identity and to the fragmentation of their social life. Such research purports to show the production of a specific 'European' Islam that eludes the traditional authority in which Islam is allegedly still mired in most Muslim majority societies. This paper considers the predicament of Muslims in Europe from a different pe…
Authority in Question
The politicization of Islam from a European viewpoint is apparent in how the Islamic 'veil' has become an icon of Islam's alleged deficits with regard to fitting into European modernity. This article unpacks the iconic symbolism of 'political Islam' and shifts the focus to Muslim voices articulating struggles for justice and solidarity through the attempt to reformulate secular republicanism and critique its authority basis. This is the emerging …

Doubt, faith, and knowledge
The study of the Islamic Resurgence has underestimated the intellectual trials that some key personalities underwent at a crucial stage of the crisis of post-colonial societies. The intellectual leaders of the Resurgence faced the task to redefine the social value of faith and of its converse, doubt, as the insidious flip-side of processes of modernization. Their response to the challenge contributed to a reconfiguration of the intellectual field…

Secular Formations and Public Spheres in a Transcultural Perspective
There is a wide consensus on the secular character of Western societies. This is particularly evident in their articulation of the private and public spheres, based on the assumption that secular norms require that religious groups stay away from public arenas. The Habermasian public sphere appears then as a prototypical secular arena. The paper explores how the Habermasian notion can be enriched in a transcultural perspective. It shows that seve…

Modem Shari'a in Search of Law : Transcendent Reason, Public Metanorm, and the Legal System. This article examines the process of redefinition of shari'a as a metanorm of public life in Egypt. The investigation suggests that shari'a's increasing integration in the state's System of law does not exhaust the differentiating range of its (meta)normativity. Ranging from moral appeals to discipline the subject to constitutional daims about the primacy…
Dilemmi e Opzioni Dell'internazionalismo Arabo-Islamico Dinanzi Alla Politica Araba di Roma Negli Anni Trenta. Il Caso di Šakīb Arslān II
Italo-Turkish Diplomacy and the War over Libya, 1911 - 1912
In 1911 Italy, an aspiring Great Power, attacked Ottoman Libya. Italian diplomacy had long anticipated this attack, but Italy's military was ill-prepared for it. The Ottoman Empire, distracted by internal dissension and by the expansionist designs of its Balkan neighbours, was woefully unready. This study examines how the belligerents dealt with the military and diplomatic stalemates into which the Libyan War degenerated, stalemates which were en…

Dilemmas of religious reform (Islâh)
This article discusses the metamorphosis of Islamic traditions that is due to their increasing exposure to global communication and legal regulation. It focuses, in particular, on the historical alteration in the understanding of sharî'a in Egypt caused by the modernization of state rule, the reform of the legal system, the emergence of a modern press and a modern public sphere, and the process of reform (islâh) of Islamic traditions that engaged…

Gender, Generation, and the Reform of Tradition
Glossary
Since the late nineteenth Century and the onset of colonial rule in West Africa, scholars, including colonial scholar administrators, hve devoted considrable attention to the study of what has been assumed to be th main institutional form for th practice of Islam in West Africa: the Sufi orders, the mystical paths. In an almost unending stream of studies, various scholars-politica! scientists, sociologists, geographers, historians, and those in r…
Public Islam and the Common Good
The article discusses the historical and contemporary emergence of a sense of an Islamic public in a variety of Muslim majority societies and elsewhere. These manifestations of public Islam facilitate discussions concerning how to define the common good, equitable solutions to collective problems, shifting boundaries of inclusion and exclusion, and practices that encourage the emergence of a public Islam. Compared to notions of public sphere deve…

Socio-Religious Movements and the Transformation of “Common Sense” into a Politics of “Common Good”
This chapter explores the philosophical and epistemological foundations of the variety of notions of the “public” utilized—explicitly and implicitly—by socio-religious movements to define and justify their ideologies and actions to achieve social power. Our hypothesis is that contemporary Muslim socio-religious movements attempt to formulate and implement discourses of common good that aspire to legitimate specific forms of political community, b…

Public Islam and the Common Good
This book explores the public role of Islam in contemporary world politics. “Public Islam” refers to the diverse invocations and struggles over Islamic ideas and practices that increasingly influence the politics and social life of large parts of the globe. The contributors to this volume show how public Islam articulates competing notions and practices of the common good and a way of envisioning alternative political and religious ideas and real…
