Sufism East and West: Mystical Islam and Cross-Cultural Exchange in the Modern World: Studies on Sufism, cartea 2

Editat de Jamal Malik, Saeed Zarrabi-Zadeh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 apr 2019
In Sufism East and West, the contributors investigate the redirection and dynamics of Sufism in the modern era, specifically from the perspective of global cross-cultural exchange. Edited by Jamal Malik and Saeed Zarrabi-Zadeh, the book explores the role of mystical Islam in the complex interchange and fluidity in the resonance spaces of “East” and “West.”
The volume challenges the enduring Orientalist binary coding of East-versus-West and argues instead for a more mutual process of cultural plaiting and shared tradition. By highlighting amendments, adaptations and expansions of Sufi semantics during the last centuries, it also questions the persistent perception of Sufism in its post-classical epoch as a corrupt imitation of the legacy of the great Sufis of the past.

Recenzii

“Examining texts and movements that transcend the dichotomy of East and West, the twelve essays collected here suggest new ways of studying Sufism as a medium of cross-cultural collusion. These rich case studies reveal how, whether through renewal or reinvention, misapprehension or métissage, Sufism has acquired a range of new meanings through the intercultural contacts of the modern era.”
Nile Green, University of California, Los Angeles

“This collection of essays by some of the world’s leading scholars of Sufism is one of the most important scholarly contributions to have appeared in recent years for an understanding of how Sufism has been comprehended by Muslims and non-Muslims in the modern period.... As such the book is a fitting tribute to Annemarie Schimmel. Students and researchers of Islam and Sufism will find this work indispensable.”
Lloyd Ridgeon, University of Glasgow

“This is a worthy tribute to the memory of Annemarie Schimmel. From the definition and typology of Sufism to its orientalist and modernist constructions, from early encounters in Arabia and India to today’s manifestations in East and West, it contributes new findings and fresh insights to the ever-expanding study of the mystical aspect of Islam.”
Itzchak Weismann, University of Haifa

“From among the mass of publications devoted to Islamic mysticism, Sufism East and West stands out brilliantly. With twelve essays authored by leading scholars, the book not only refreshes our historical vision of Sufism in modern times but also shakes up our habits of thought about its socio-religious geography.”
Alexandre Papas, National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), Paris

“An engaging study of Sufism’s journey to the West, this book details the complexities involved in the exchange of philosophical ideas across cultures and offers rich insights into Sufi practitioners and their critics. It is a substantial contribution to Sufi studies.”
Imtiaz Ahmad, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi
