  • 2. Historical Overview: Social Order in Mā Warāʾ Al-Nahr
    2. Historical Overview: Social Order in Mā Warāʾ al-Nahr With the beginning of Uzbek dominance in southern Central Asia around the year 1500, a fresh wave of Turkic nomads was brought in and added a new element to the populace of the region.1 Initially the establishment of Uzbek rule took the form of a nomadic conquest aiming to gain access to the irrigated and urban areas of Transoxania. The following sedentarization of the Uzbek newcomers was a long-term process that took three and perhaps even more centuries. In the course of time, the conquerors mixed with those Turkic groups that had already been settled in the Oxus region for hundreds of years, and, of course, with parts of the sedentary Persian-speaking population.2 Based on the secondary literature, this chapter is devoted to the most important historical developments in Mā Warāʾ al-Nahr since the beginning of the sixteenth century. By recapitulating the milestones of Uzbek rule, I want to give a brief overview of the historical background for those who are not familiar with Central Asian history. I will explore the most significant elements of the local social order at the highest level of social integration: the rulers and ruling clans. In doing so, I will spotlight the political dynamics resulting from the dialectics of cognitive patterns and institutions that make up local worldviews and their impact on the process of institutionalizing Abū’l-Khairid authority. The major focus will be on patronage. As the current state of knowledge shows, this institution was one of the cornerstones of the social order in the wider region until the Mongol invasion.

  • Core-Bibliography Islamic Studies & Christian-Muslim Relations
    PhD Program in Islamic Studies & Hartford Seminary, CT Christian Muslim Relations Core-Bibliography Islamic Studies & Christian-Muslim Relations (Cohorts 2017-18, 2018-19) The purpose of the Core-Bibliography: The Core-Bibliography is a list of works deemed by the faculty to be important monographs in each of the fields of study. Students should use this list as a general guide, so that students might incorporate these works into their course requirements, where possible, and in preparation for the Comprehensive Examinations (see below). The intent of the list is to assist students in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the fields, whereas the dissertation will demonstrate mastery in one specific study that will engage primary texts and original languages, and may build from this bibliography. Description: There are two basic core-bibliographies: one in Islamic Studies and the other in Christian-Muslim Relations. The Islamic Studies core is divided into five areas: Islamic History; Contemporary Islam; Law, Theology and Philosophy; Islamic Scriptures; and Sufism. The Christian-Muslim Relations core is divided into four areas: Methodological Considerations, History and Sociology of relations between Muslims and Christians, Scriptural Interpretations, and Theological Dialogue. The rationale for works appearing in this compilation includes the following: a) a monograph considered significant in the field; b) to provide diverse publication dates; c) important scholars in the field; d) authors from different perspectives (Jewish, Christian, Muslim and non-religious); e) overlapping but not redundant studies; and finally, f) an appended list of items of general references, encyclopedias, journals, and websites of which students need to be aware but not included as part of the examinations.

  • The Encyclopaedia of the Qur'ān and the Orientalist Terminology of Islam
    International Humanities Studies Vol. 1 No.1; December 2013 ISSN 2311-7796 2013 The Encyclopaedia of the Qur’an and the Orientalist terminology of Islam: The imposition of translated equivalents to avoid translation. A case of teleology in research and translation Alejandro Romero Burgos* Nicolás Roser Nebot** Abstract The only scientific paradigm that Western scholars have created for Islam and its culture is Orientalism. But it is a paradigm that has certain shortcomings, particularly in regard to the understanding of terms in Arabic and its translation in European languages. This deficiency is most evident when we talk about the studies on the Koran. The research presented here examines some of the issues relating to the translation of the Quranic texts into Western languages. Likewise, we research how this understanding and translation constitute a fundamental element in creating and developing theories—whether orientalist or not— about any Arabic, Islamic or Oriental topic. With this objective in mind, we have used an example taken from the Encyclopaedia of the Qur‟ān by Brill publishers in Holland and compiled by Georgetown University in Washington. It shows Islamic terminology we could consider Orientalist. In addition, the article attempts to demonstrate the existence of a bibliographical gap in such an important topic as the treatment and translation of Islamic terminology and, in particular, of the Koranic terminology, above all within the framework of Orientalist studies. Key words: Qur'an, Islam, Translation. *Researcher, Department of Translation, Faculty of Arts, Malaga University, Spain. Email: [email protected] **PhD.
