Chapter 3. Remixing Songs, Remaking Mulids: The Merging Spaces of Dance Music and Saint Festivals in Egypt
Dimensions of Locality: Muslim Saints, their Place and Space (Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam No. 8)
As a world religion Islam is based on a highly abstract and absolute notion of the transcendent, which its followers establish and celebrate - in a seemingly contradictory fashion - at very specific sites: Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, and the vast and complex landscapes of mosques and Muslim saints' shrines around the world. Sacred locality has thus become a paradigm for the relationship between the human and the transcendent, a model for urban plan…

Chapter 6. ́Abdallah b. Salam: Egypt, Late Antiquity and Islamic Sainthood
Asabiyya
Asabiyya (of Beduin, pre‐Islamic, secular origin: from 'asaba , to bind, to fold, to wind, and 'asâba , the group of male relatives) is one of the most important concepts of the social history of the Arabs and of Islam. Meaning a basic form of social and material human relations, it is a concept which integrates biological, geographical, social, and cultural terms. It is central to Ibn Khaldun's (1332–1406) theory of civilization ('umran), as dis…
Islam in Process: Historical and Civilizational Perspectives (Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam 7)
The articles included in this Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam are focused 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 civilizational complexes, while others are more concerned with the 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 histori…

On Archaeology of Sainthood and Local Spirituality in Islam: Past and Present Crossroads of Events and Ideas (Yearbook of the Sociology of Islam 5)
Saints, their places, the rituals of their veneration - the heroes and martyrs they represent or to whom they are often connected with - and the beliefs in their powers have often been described as being counter-thematic to the constructive issues of modern society in our times. However, in the Middle East - and certainly this is true for many other world regions and other world religions - local saints, Jewish, Christian and Islamic, have gained…
Civilization and State Formation in the Islamic Context: Re-Reading Ibn Khaldūn
Ibn KhaldØun's theory of history has been extensively discussed and interpreted in widely divergent ways by Western scholars. In the context of present debates, it seems most appropriate to read his work as an original and comprehensive version of civilizational analysis (the key concept of 'umran is crucial to this line of interpretation), and to reconstruct his model in terms of relations between religious, political and economic dimensions of …

The Singapore Civilization
Indonesia - Malaysia: Structures of Embeddedness of Islam and the Multi-Ethnic Condition of Asia
Bureaucratism and Proto-Institutionalization of Islam in the Minangkabau Region of West Sumatra
Politics and Cultures of Islamization in Southeast Asia: Indonesia and Malaysia in the Nineteen-nineties
This book is about cultural and political figures, institutions and ideas in a period of transition in two Muslim countries in Southeast Asia, Malaysia and Indonesia. It also addresses some of the permutations of civilizing processes in Singapore and the city-state's image, moving across its borders into the region and representing a miracle of modernity beyond »ideas«. The central theme is the way in which Islam was re-constructed as an intellec…

Elias in Singapore: Civilizing Processes in a Tropical City
In recent years Singapore has come to be seen as a successful project of economic transformation and capitalist development. What is more remarkable - but less discussed - is Singapore's success in building a multiethnic society and the unique concomitant civilizing processes that have accompanied this. Singapore represents today a project of a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural polity and a postmodern global city that combines civility, nostalgia a…

Nietzsche, Weber, and the affirmative sociology of culture
The issue of Nietzsche's influence on Weber's cultural criticism remains controversial. While it is generally accepted that Nietzsche's criticism of Western culture provided Weber with an underlying problematic of cultural crisis and meaninglessness, I wish to argue that Nietzsche had a more extensive and important impact on Weber than is usually acknowledged. Weber's practical and theoretical treatment of the 'empirical sciences of action', name…
Nietzsche in Weber oder die Geburt des modernen Genius’ im professionellen Menschen
Die traditionelle Weber-Forschung mißt der Weberschen Nietzsche-Lektüre nur marginale Bedeutung bei. Weber hat sich eben selten in seinem Werk zu den Spuren Nietzsches bekannt. In dem vorliegenden Essay wird dagegen Webers „Projekt“ der modernen Gesellschaft mit der Nietzscheschen Modernitätskritik konfrontiert. Methodisch liegt diesem Vergleich die Annahme zugrunde, daß es sich bei Nietzsche um ein abwesendes Zentrum der Weberschen Soziologie ha…
Revolution in Spiritless Times. An Essay on Michel Foucault's Enquiries Into the Iranian Revolution
Michel Foucault's reports and commentaries on the Iranian Revolution in 1978/1979 were born in an attempt to verify empirically the emergence of ideas among the ordinary people and the effect of ideas on people's everyday life in modern times of political unrest and rebellion. This attempt has been described as 'infantile leftism'. This article seeks to show that Foucault's understanding of the facts of this Revolution was largely built on the id…
Occidental Reason, Orientalism, Islamic Fundamentalism: A Critique
Western cultural anthropology, sociological and feminist perspectives on development have been adopting an essentialist standpoint. The question, what do natives really mean?, how do they internally perceive themselves?, has become a major concern in Third World sociological and anthropological studies. On the other hand, social scientists in the Third World, and specifically in Arab countries, have called for the 'indigenisation' of the social s…
