Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with approaches and methods usable in research on Muslim religiosity in its miscellaneous forms. In various Middle Eastern societies or their segments many specifics are manifested in the framework of religious teachings and practices. It is not possible to understand sufficiently the contemporary Islamic scene without grasping these specifics. Islam in its everydayness is not simple reflection of the official religious interpretations of al-Azhar or other significant representatives of "orthodoxy". Muslims fill the same forms often by very different content, they have different religious experiences, both as individuals and communities. Especially the potential of anthropology to grasp and interpret such plurality is explained to the students. They learn its research methods, ways how to formulate findings from fieldwork and so on. Students acquire the knowledge and also the inspiration mainly both through reading of already traditional or ?canonical? works of famous anthropologists and through analysis of various innovative recent case studies based on fieldwork in Muslim environments.
|
Requirements on student
|
Besides general activity during the lectures and especially during the seminars, students are expected to prepare and present brief contributions based on assigned texts, as well as final essay on chosen topic. The course ends by oral exam.
