فضای عمومی در جوامع مسلمان (سری سونی در مطالعات خاورمیانه)

Challenging conventional assumptions, the contributors to this interdisciplinary volume argue that premodern Muslim societies had diverse and changing varieties of public spheres, constructed according to premises different from those of Western societies. The public sphere, conceptualized as a separate and autonomous sphere between the official and private, is used to shed new light on familiar topics in Islamic history, such as the role of the shari`a (Islamic religious law), the `ulama' (Islamic scholars), schools of law, Sufi brotherhoods, the Islamic endowment institution, and the relationship between power and culture, rulers and community, from the ninth to twentieth centuries.

Annotation Eight papers developed during a two-year workshop at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute were presented in finished form at an October 1997 international conference held there. Social scientists, historians, and area scholars argue that traditional, pre-modern Muslim society had diverse and changing varieties of public spheres, the manifestations of which have been as far-ranging as the ideas and expression of Islamic civilization itself.
