Description

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.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The present volume is the outcome of a two-year workshop held at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, as part of a program on “Collective Identity, Public Sphere, and Political Order,” under the auspices of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences in Uppsala, and the Max Weber Kolleg at Erfurt University. The papers elaborated at the workshop were presented in their final form at an international conference held at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute in October 1997. The participants of the workshop were joined at this confer-ence by Professor Ellis Goldberg of the Center of International Studies, Princeton University, Professor Dale F. Eickelman of Dartmouth College, Professor Wolfgang Schluchter of the Max Weber Centre for Cultural and Social Study, Erfurt University and Heidelberg University, and Professor Bjorn Wittrock of the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences in Uppsala. The editors are grateful to the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, and to its direc-tor, Dr. Shimshon Zelniker, for hosting the workshop. The Institute also covered the language editing and secretarial expenses connected with the production of the manuscript. A special note of appreciation goes to Evelyn Katrak, the lan-guage editor, to Sara Soreni, director of publications, and to Esther Rosenfeld for overseeing the preparation of the diskettes.

NOTE ONTRANSLITERATION

As the book is intended for a wide audience, including non-Middle East and Islam specialists, we used minimal transliteration for Arabic names and terms. All Arabic terms appear in italics, ` is used for the Arabic letter`aynand ' for hamza. No sub- or superscripts are used, except in Aharon Layish’s essay, where full diacritical transliteration is required because of the legal nature of the text. Turkish words and names were usually transliterated according to the system used in modern Turkish.
