Copyright © 1975 Theodore Besterman. Dramatic structure and philosophy in Brutus, Alzire and Mahomet by Thomas M. Carr, jr. An impressive amount of recent critical work has dealt with the philosophic element in Voltaire's tragedies. His plays have been labelled a theatre of involvement and a theatre of ideas; they have been examined from the standpoint of propaganda and as tragedyl. However,the focus of such studies has been primarily on Voltaire's message or on the meaning ofthe plays, rather than on the dramatic structure he created to convey his philosophic concerns. Today, of course, Voltaire does not rank high either as an original thinker or as a dramatist.

  • Goethe and His Encounter with Voltaire in Moments of Islamic and Orientalist Discourse

    Goethe and His Encounter with Voltaire in Moments of Islamic and Orientalist Discourse

    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 2 No 3 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy November 2013 Goethe and his Encounter with Voltaire in Moments of Islamic and Orientalist Discourse Edvin Cami University “Aleksandër Moisiu”, Durrës E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2013.v2n3p547 Abstract Goethe’s views on the Orient and Islam constitute a very interesting phenomenon in the context of the Western society of 18th and 19th centuries. While Goethe also was part of the anticlericalism established with the Enlightenment, other than Voltaire, rather than exerting any criticism to religion in itself, he tries to track and recognize the common roots and values of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Especially in his poetical work West-östlicher Divan (West-eastern Divan), and through his concept of Weltliteratur, he shows a completely different imagology of the Orient compared to the Western society of his time. Keywords: Enlightenment, Anticlericalism, Orient, Islam, Divan, Weltliteratur 1. Introduction: Goethe and his “Encounter” with Voltaire The “encounter” of Goethe with Voltaire occurred in a literary reality, as the former translated into German the latter’s abovementioned dramatic work Le fanatisme ou Mahomet le prophète. Goethe’s surprisingly positive opinion on Islam was a well known reality to many even in his time, including the duke Carl August, who commissioned him to translate Voltaire’s work. The duke was conscious that Goethe – whom he jovially called “Meccanus” due to the poet’s sympathy for Islam and the Orient – had to work “against his own nature” for the translation of Le fanatisme.

    1 | CHARLIE HEBDO, REPUBLICAN SECULARISM AND ISLAMOPHOBIA Aurélien Mondon and Aaron Winter The attack against Charlie Hebdo in Paris on 7 January 2015 took place in a context in which Islamophobia had become increasingly mainstream in France.1 The widespread albeit uneven use of the slogan ‘Je Suis Charlie’ across France and the Western world represented for many an assertion of solidarity, and more specifically identification, with Charlie Hebdo and its championing of liberal Enlightenment and Republican values of freedom of speech. This reaction, we were told, was in response to the threat posed by Muslim extremists and terrorists. However, the boundaries between a critique of extremism and terrorism and that of Islamophobia (and anti-Muslim hate), as well as that between the defence of liberal values, Islamophobia and securitisation, have become increasingly blurry. The string of deadly attacks by those identified or self-identifying as ‘Islamist’ and linked to IS (however tenuous that link may be) which have taken place since in Paris, Nice and Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray have rendered them ever fuzzier. It is for this reason, and the mapping of these discourses and practices as they relate or are deployed in relation to Islam and Muslims, however loosely defined, that we employ our concepts of illiberal and liberal Islamophobia (Mondon and Winter 2017). The illiberal articulation of Islamophobia, or ‘anti-Muslim’ hate, is closest to traditional racism based around exclusivist notions and concepts of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and religion, as well as identity itself, and is commonly associated with the extreme right and authoritarian treatment of minority groups and rights.
  • The Current Studies of Muhammad and His Hadith in the West and Indonesia

    The Current Studies of Muhammad and His Hadith in the West and Indonesia

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 137 International Conference on Qur'an and Hadith Studies (ICQHS 2017) THE CURRENT STUDIES OF MUHAMMAD AND HIS HADITH IN THE WEST AND INDONESIA Muhamad Ali University of California, Riverside USA [email protected]/[email protected] Abstract Journal articles and book chapters have sought to survey the trends in the study of the biography of Muhammad and those in the study of the Hadith within Western and Islamic scholarships. In this paper, I trace briefly recent selected writings in English and in Indonesian on Muhammad and the Hadith for the purpose of presenting some of the main research questions and arguments as well as their sources and approaches. Keywords: Muhammad, hadith, west, Indonesia Introduction: Literature Review, Approach, and Objectives Journal articles and book chapters have sought to survey the trends in the study of the biography of Muhammad and those in the study of the Hadith within Western and Islamic scholarships. One of such chapters traces the Western scholarship on Muhammad, mentioning Maxime Robinson’s Mahomet, W. Montgomery Watt’s Muhammad at Mecca and Muhammad at Medina. The Cambridge Companion to Muhammad represents current trends in the scholarly study of Muhammad’s life and legacy, combining historical- critical analyses of the classical texts and the views and interpretations of the later scholars and Muslim communities in the past and in the present (Brockopp, 2010: 1-10). In a brief article, Adis Duderija seeks to trace the development of the Hadith literature and the concept of the Hadith authenticity as defined by the classical Islamic study of the Hadith (ulum al-hadith) as based on Western scholarship.

    Freedom of Expression Thesis Eva Zandonella

    Freedom of Expression: Religiously Offensive Speech in France and the Case of Charlie Hebdo Master Thesis A Thesis presented to the Faculty of Humanities LEIDEN UNIVERSITY Eva Zandonella December 2016 Supervisor: Dr. Jan Oster 1 Statutory Declaration I declare that I have authored this thesis independently, that I have not used other than the declared sources / resources, and that I have explicitly marked all material which has been quoted either literally or by content from the used sources. 2 Abstract This thesis seeks to explore the topic of religiously offensive cartoons, taking the attack on Charlie Hebdo in January 2015 as a starting point. After applying the legal framework and different legal philosophical justifications for free speech to the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, the analysis will take a closer look at a similar controversy in Denmark. As in the Danish cartoon controversy, analysing the broader socio-political context can provide a deeper understanding of the root causes of the protests following the attack. Drawing on critical discourse analysis this thesis investigates the question to what extend the public discourse on free speech in France after the attack on Charlie Hebdo and the role of French Muslims in this debate reflect power relations within the French society. Such power relations indeed manifest themselves in this discourse as it was the official side who started the discourse and had the power to chose wording, meaning of concepts, the topoi and to define ingroups and outgroups. Societal inequalities can also be noticed through participation and representation of French Muslisms and their interaction to the other groups present in the discourse.

It was banned in 1970 because of its first cover dedicated to General Charles De Gaulle’s death “Tragic ball at Colombey: 1 dead”,1 and was founded again under the name of Charlie Hebdo. It disappeared in 1982 due to its lack of audience and resumed publishing in 1992. The recognition of the journal is not a matter of audience (120.000 at its peak in 1971, only 3.000 in 1981).

    The Charlie Hebdo Effect: Security versus liberty? Master Thesis Simona Semionova MSc. Development and International Relations Supervisor: Birte Siim Spring 2016 1 The Charlie Hebdo Effect: Security versus liberty? Acknowledgement I would first like to thank my thesis Supervisor Proffesor Birte Siim of the Institut for Culture and Global Studies at Aalborg University. The door to Prof. Siim office was always open whenever I ran into a trouble spot or had a question about my research or writing. She consistently allowed this thesis to be my own work, but steered me in the right direction whenever she thought I needed it. Furthermore, I would like to thank Frederic Labarre for helping me in broadening my horizons and helping me to reflect on my work. Without his passionate participation and input, this thesis could not have been successfully written. I would like to especially thank him for thinking along with me in challenging moments of the writing process and for his feedback. Finally, I must express my very profound gratitude to my parents for providing me with unfailing support and continuous encouragement throughout the years of my studies and through the process of researching and writing this thesis. This accomplishment would not have been possible without them. Thank you. 2 The Charlie Hebdo Effect: Security versus liberty? ABSTRACT In January 2015, Paris was shaken by the horrendous attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine. Today, one year after the shootings, when fears of inflow of immigrants are spread in the West and the right-wing movements are gaining the momentum, this event built a foundation for actors of centre right and right-wing parties to use the attacks for their gain.
