  • Yoga and the "Pure Muhammadi Path" of Muhammad Nasir 'Andalib

    Open AccessSoraya Khodamoradi, Cecile ErnstARTICLEReligions2024Referências: 13

    This article addresses the question of how early modern Sufis dealt with yoga. Some scholars have argued that a movement of Sufi reform occurred in South Asia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, representing a shift towards legal Islam, which would call for the rejection of non-Islamic practices. This explanation overlooks the rhetorical construction of Sufi claims of spiritual status and shari'a legitimacy, and it fails to distinguis…

  • Islamic Studies in U.S. Universities

    Open AccessC Kurzman, Cecile Ernst et al.ARTICLEReview of Middle East Studies2012

    As in Europe, Islamic studies in the U.S. originated in the tradition of Orientalist scholarship and Christian theology, with its strong textual emphasis, but it has gradually expanded to overlap with Middle East area studies as well as a number of humanistic and social science disciplines, especially religious studies. Over the past several decades, and especially since 9/11, scholarly interest in Islamic studies has mushroomed. This interest is…

  • It’s Not Just Academic—Writing Public Scholarship in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies

    Open AccessCecile Ernst, Carl W ErnstARTICLEReview of Middle East Studies2011

    Everyone knows that the work of scholars in America is often considered to be irrelevant to the real issues of life. According to the mild anti-intellectualism that seems to be an endemic feature of American culture, anything that is “academic” is automatically impractical, complex, and impenetrable—in short, it is bad. This is a little hard for professors to live with; no one likes being called a pointy-headed intellectual or an egghead. The ver…

    Open AccessCecile Ernst, Carl W ErnstARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…2003Citada por: 6

    From the beginning of Orientalist studies of the Muslim world, it was axiomatic to define certain religious phenomena in terms of their origins. Because of the tendency to view all Eastern doctrines as essentially alike, Orientalist scholars of the Romantic period invariably defined Sufism as a mysticism that was Indian in origin; from the first appearance of the term in European languages, “Sufism” was characterised as essentially Looking back a…
