Course objectives:
|
The course Contemporary Islam 2 deepens and develops knowledge of students gained in previous course Contemporary Islam 1. Students will study now in detail works of important representatives of different streams of Islamic thinking in 20th and 21st century, their approaches, specific concepts, social projects, arguments, specific terminology and so on. Students gain such knowledge through reading and analysis of chosen texts. Analyzed texts related to the defined theme are always divided into three main groups. These groups reflect three quite generally identified trends in contemporary Islam, which is modernist, islamist and liberal trend. Texts are discussed in seminars, they are compared with each other and so on. Lectures are more general, they delimit topics such as for example Islam and politics, law, status of minorities, democracy, some ideologies, and so on. Lectures are meant to be guidelines for independent work of students. But, apart from other things, they also offer certain added value, for example by presenting reflections of Muslim authors done by non-Muslim Western scholars.
|
Requirements on student
|
Besides general activity during the lectures and especially during the seminars, students are expected to prepare and present brief contributions in seminars - students compile synopsis from assigned texts - as well as final essay on chosen topic. The course ends by oral exam.
