  • Two Great Adventurers, Battuta and Polo, Affect the Medieval World
    Two Great Adventurers, Battuta and Polo, Affect the Medieval World When you take a trip, how do you record what you did? Do you take pictures, and maybe post some of them on a social media site? Or you do send postcards or emails to your family and friends about your travels? Do you keep a journal to record events as they happen? Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo traveled in a time around the 13th and 14th centuries when recording events was not as easy as it is today. Upon their return to their homes, both Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo wrote about their adventures. Their stories were very influential in stimulating trade and travel in the regions they visited. Ibn Battuta’s desire to see the lands where his fellow Muslims lived led him across Asia, Africa, and Europe and the seas. His nearly thirty years of travel began when he was twenty-one when he set off for a pilgrimage to Mecca. After that, he traveled over 75,000 miles. Ibn Battuta traveled by joining trading caravans. Caravans were bands of travelers who journeyed together for security and mutual aid. He told of his adventures when he returned home to Morocco, and those who heard his stories thought they should be written down. The sultan of Morocco commissioned a young court secretary named Ibn Juzayy to listen to Ibn Battuta’s stories and record them. It took two years to write everything down, and when they were finished, the result was the Rihla, a story of travels centered on a pilgrimage.

They have shown that humans will always be interested in dimension of faith, belief, and religion, and established that there is a crucial relationship between the holistic signification and the social institution. At the same time, they have laid out the various reasons why the religion is important for people, such as the way it enables a form of social solidarity among people to add meanings to human life and uncertainty (suffering, death, secret, and illness). For all human progress, the embodiments of religion and faith and the process of discovery are related to collective cultural structuring, social representation, and cultural function.(1) The purpose of anthropology is to investigate people, social relations, and social structure, so faith is one of the most fascinating subjects for anthropologists. Atay mentions that religious anthropology explores religiosity, religious motives and practices that have been formed to represent the way of life and culture rather than their religious contents and sacred/divine sources.(2) Therefore anthropologists have researched the dialectic relationship This is a revised edition of the paper presented as “Ocak in the Globalizing Alevism: An Anthropological Analysis on Dedelik-Seyitlik,” at the 1st International Symposium of Alevism from Past to Present, Bingöl University,Turkey, October 3-5, 2013.

  • World Tourism Organization
    UNWTO Commission for the Middle East Thirty-ninth meeting CME/39/6 Cairo, Egypt, 14 September 2014 Madrid, 20 June 2014 Provisional agenda item 6 Original: English Provisional agenda item 6 Thematic discussion: “Exploring the potential of developing Tourism routes in the region” 1. At its 98th session, held at Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in June 2014, the Executive Council recognized the role of Tourism routes in fostering regional development and integration at national and international levels and encouraged the Secretary-General “to expand the action of the existing UNWTO Special Field Programme (Silk Road) to tourism routes in a broader sense with the aim of defining recommendations, exchange experiences and exploring the potential of working on new international or regional tourism routes”. (Decision 18 (XCVIII)) 2. The wealth and diversity of the Middle East’s and North Africa’s heritage, both tangible and intangible, provides extensive opportunities for the development of sustainable tourism along legendary cultural, religious and commercial routes, similar to the well-established Silk Road, which already counts upon the very active participation of Iraq and Egypt. Taking into consideration the numerous collaborative opportunities specified in the Silk Road Action Plan 2014/2015, countries with interest in developing the collaborative initiatives along the Silk Road are encouraged to engage with the 31 Member States actively cooperating within a unified platform under the aegis of the UNWTO Silk Road Programme. 3.

  • Ibn-Battuta, Travel Geography, Karst and the Sacred Underground
    www.mercator.ufc.br DOI: 10.4215/RM2016.1502. 0004 IBN-BATTUTA, GEOGRAFIA DE VIAGENS, CARSTE E SUBTERRÂNEOS SAGRADOS Ibn-Battuta, travel geography, karst and the sacred underground Luiz Eduardo Panisset Travassos * Oswaldo Bueno Amorim Filho ** Resumo O presente estudo procura abordar, com um novo olhar, as contribuições de Ibn Battuta ao desenvolvimento de alguns domínios da geografia, em especial o uso antrópico do carste, bem como o uso cultural das ca- vernas. Destaca-se que muito provavelmente, os geógrafos do Islã medieval, em suas vertentes sistemática e corográfica, foram uma espécie de “ponte” que faltava na evolução do pensamento geográfico entre os gregos da Antiguidade e os precursores das grandes escolas clássicas europeias nos séculos XIX e XX. Assim sendo, o artigo apresenta uma abordagem alternativa da obra de Ibn-Battuta não só para o estudo da literatura de viagens, mas também, para a Carstologia. Palavras-chaves:Geografia de viagens; Ibn Battuta; Cavernas Sagradas; Carste. Abstract This study is intended to address, under a new approach, the contributions of Ibn-Battuta to the development of certain areas of geography, especially the anthropogenic use of karst as well as the cultural use of caves. Noteworthy to mention is that, most likely, the geographers from medieval Islam were a kind of missing “bridge” in the evolution of geographical thought among the ancient Greeks and the precursors of the great European classical schools in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Thus, this article presents an alternative approach to the work of Ibn-Battuta not only for the study of travel literature but also to the study of karstology.

  • Arch-0650 Islamic Civilizations: the Formative Periods
    Straughn - Islamic Civilizations ARCH-0650 ISLAMIC CIVILIZATIONS: THE FORMATIVE PERIODS Instructor: Ian Straughn Email: [email protected] TA: Email: Office: 309 in 70 Waterman Office Hours: Tues 9-11am TA Office hours: By appointment Course Times: MWF 2-2:50 Course Location: Smith-Buononno G12 Course Website/Wiki: http://proteus.brown.edu/islamiccivilizations/Home E-reserve password: khaldun COURSE DESCRIPTION: Islamic civilization is much talked about, but also much misunderstood. This course is designed to provide a basis for understanding the cultures, peoples, and traditions of the "Abode of Islam" (''Dar al-Islam'') in the early periods. Why is it that both Muslims and non-Muslims alike look to the classical Islamic past as both a resource and explanation of the present? To answer this question we will explore the collective impact of Islamic civilization on traditions of thought, religious and cultural practices, social institutions, and the course of history more generally as it emerged from its origins in seventh century Arabia through its rapid flourishing throughout the Mediterranean, Near East and beyond. In the process you will witness the inception and elaboration of a religious tradition, the rise and fall of dynasties, as well as the range of material and visual culture which they produced. Along with scholarly studies, we will read the literature of medieval travelers, the rhetoric of poets, and the accounts of caliphs, sultans and their administrators. Similarly we will consider the diversity of the people and places that have become part of the Muslim world and their lives as merchants, peasants, scholars and Sufis. The course concludes by setting the stage for the arrival of the Mongols whose sack of Baghdad put an end to the Abbasid caliphate in 1258 and laid the foundations for a new series of interactions and cultural forces that would further elaborate and change the civilization of the classical Islamic world.

  • Is There a Turkish Islam? the Emergence of Convergence and Consensus
    Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, Vol. 24, No. 2, October 2004 Is There a Turkish Islam? The Emergence of Convergence and Consensus M. HAKAN YAVUZ Abstract This paper attempts to demonstrate that it is not only the universal principles of Islam that ground our everyday actions, but also the practical and immediate issues which we confront. Although Islam provides a universal set of principles to make life meaningful, I shall argue that these principles are vernacularized and localized in specific narratives. By offering seven diverse zones of Islam, I seek to bring this critical and dynamic distance into the forefront to understand that there is no universal model or a single highway to salvation but, instead, there are multiple ways of being and becoming a Muslim. In the first part of the paper, I seek to disaggregate the concept of ‘Islamic or Muslim world’ by identifying seven diverse competing and conflicting ‘zones’ of political Islam, each characterized by their conversion pattern, colonial legacy, type of nationalism and by the state–society relations and political economy that factor into these evolving separate zones. At the same time and under certain political conditions, one also sees the emergence of consensus and similar ‘public opinion’ across zones on various issues. After identifying the features of three of the seven zones (Arab, Persian and Turkish), the paper focuses on Sufism, the frontier legacy of the Ottoman state, and on the tax-based economy and the expanding political opportunity spaces, to account for the construc- tion of Islamic knowledge and practices in the Turkish zone.

  • The Alid Iconography Between Bektashi Claiming and Popular Piety in Contemporary Albania
    FOCUS 57 “I keep this image always with me, to bring me luck.” The Alid Iconography between (Interview with Ramisha).1 Bektashi Claiming and Popular Piety Introduction in Contemporary Albania This sentence synthetically expresses the intertwined factors and varied discourses about the veneration of Islamic Alid icons in contemporary Albania. The icono­ graphic cult of some figures related to Alid tradition seems to be absolutely sponta­ neous and integrated within the religious experience as an integral part of the living religions in Albania. In recent time, several works have ana­ lysed the institutional and political muta­ tions of Balkan Islam in the post­Commu­ nist era (Elbasani 2; Bougarel and Clayer 15). Less attention has been dedicated to Gianfranco Bria and Gustavo Mayerà the study of everyday­life Islamic transfor­ mations (Duijzings 157).
