		Volume 7
  Säkularismus-Diskurs und muslimische Intellektuelle im 
		modernen Ägypten Säkularismus (al-'almaniyya) ist ein zentrales und 
		umstrittenes Thema des Islam in arabischen Gesellschaften. Die Studie 
		rekonstruiert damit verbundene gesellschaftliche Probleme anhand neuerer 
		ägyptischer Publikationen und illustrativer Fallbeispiele. Erstmals wird 
		die ambivalente Autorität des muslimischen Intellektuellen soziologisch 
		analysiert und damit ein wichtiger Beitrag zum Verständnis des Islam in 
		der globalisierten Gegenwart geleistet.

		Volume 2 Hrsg. v. Rectenwald, Michael / Almeida, 
		Rochelle / Levine, George Sprache: Englisch 
		Global Secularisms addresses the state of and prospects for secularism 
		globally. Drawing from multiple fields, it brings together theoretical 
		discussion and empirical case studies that illustrate ""on-the-ground,"" 
		extant secularisms as they interact with various religious, political, 
		social, and economic contexts. Its point of departure is the fact that 
		secularism is plural and that various secularisms have developed in 
		various contexts and from various traditions around the world. 
		Secularism takes on different social meanings and political valences 
		wherever it is expressed. The essays collected here provide numerous 
		points of contact between empirical case studies and theoretical 
		reflection. This multiplicity informs and challenges the conceptual 
		theorization of secularism as a universal doctrine. Analyses of 
		different regions enrich our understanding of the meanings of 
		secularism, providing comparative range to our notions of secularity. 
		Theoretical treatments help to inform our understanding of secularism in 
		context, enabling readers to discern what is at stake in the various 
		regional expressions of secularity globally. While the bulk of the 
		essays are case-based research, the current thinking of leading 
		theorists and scholars is also included. |

		Volume 1 Hrsg. v. Burchardt, Marian / Wohlrab-Sahr, Monika / Middell, 
		Matthias Sprache: Englisch 
		Questions of secularity and modernity have become globalized, but most 
		studies still focus on the West. This volume breaks new ground by 
		comparatively exploring developments in five areas of the world, some of 
		which were hitherto situated at the margins of international scholarly 
		discussions: Africa, the Arab World, East Asia, South Asia, and Central 
		and Eastern Europe. In theoretical terms, the 
		book examines three key dimensions of modern secularity: historical 
		pathways, cultural meanings, and global entanglements of secular 
		formations. The contributions show how differences in these dimensions 
		are linked to specific histories of religious and ethnic diversity, 
		processes of state-formation and nation-building. They also reveal how 
		secularities are critically shaped through civilizational encounters, 
		processes of globalization, colonial conquest, and missionary movements, 
		and how entanglements between different territorially grounded notions 
		of secularity or between local cultures and transnational secular arenas 
		unfold over time. |
