Download or read book Islamisation de l Asie Centrale written by Étienne de La Vaissière and published by Peeters. This book was released on 2008 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose une approche interdisciplinaire de la question de l'islamisation de l'Asie centrale du milieu du VIIe siecle au XIe siecle. Il reunit des articles de specialistes de domaines tres divers, de la philologie a l'archeologie en passant par toutes les declinaisons de la methode historique, des champs iranologiques et turcologiques, pre-islamiques et islamiques. Islamisation est compris ici au sens global, et non pas principalement religieux, comme une serie de processus regionaux d'acculturation vers la culture musulmane medievale d'Asie centrale. This book dwells on the cultural change, which took place in Central Asia from the middle of the VIIth century to the XIth century. Its articles come from a wide range of fields (history, philology, archaeology...) and are written by specialists of Pre-Islamic and Islamic Central Asia, in its Iranian and Turkic components, in a demonstration of interdisciplinarity. Islamisation is not to be understood in a mainly religious meaning, but as a convenient way to name the regional process of acculturation towards the Central Asian Medieval Islamic culture.
Download or read book L islamisme en Asie centrale written by Laurent Vinatier and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La révélation a été terrible pour les opinions publiques d'Europe occidentale qui n'avaient pas mesuré l'importance du phénomène, ni prévu sa capacité à introduire le déséquilibre et la terreur dans le jeu des relations internationales : il existe, au centre de l'Asie, aux marges de ce que fut l'Empire soviétique, une zone à haut risque, dont l'Afghanistan n'est pas le seul représentant. Mais qui connaît réellement l'état politique et social, et l'évolution traversée depuis plus de dix ans, c'est-à-dire depuis leur indépendance, par les cinq Républiques du Kazakhstan, du Kirghizstan, du Turkménistan, de l'Ouzbékistan et du Tadjikistan ? Leur identité, forgée depuis plus d'un siècle dans la résistance à la domination russe, réactivée par la lutte contre l'idéologie communiste, est faite à la fois de traditions culturelles et religieuses singulières, et d'appartenances ethniques et claniques. Un paysage très difficile à appréhender pour l'observateur occidental. Cet ouvrage se veut une tentative d'explication des enjeux auxquels se trouvent confrontés ces États surgis d'un coup, depuis les attentats du 11 septembre et la guerre d'Afghanistan, au premier plan des interrogations et des inquiétudes de ce début du 21e siècle. Laurent VINATIER, titulaire d'un DEA de géopolitique (sous la direction d'Yves Lacoste) et d'un DESS de Défense (Paris-II), a passé 18 mois en Asie centrale en tant que coopérant du Service national. Il a également travaillé au Bureau du Conseiller spécial pour les Affaires d'Europe centrale et orientale du Secrétaire général de l'OTAN et rédigé plusieurs rapports d'information pour une ONG (l'International Crisis Group ).
Download or read book Islam in Central Asia and the Caucasus Since the Fall of the Soviet Union written by Bayram Balci and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, a major turning point in all former Soviet republics, Central Asian and Caucasian countries began to reflect on their history and identities. As a consequence of their opening up to the global exchange of ideas, various strains of Islam and trends in Islamic thought have nourished the Islamic revival that had already started in the context of glasnost and perestroika--from Turkey, Iran, the Arabian Peninsula, and from the Indian subcontinent; the four regions with strong ties to Central Asian and Caucasian Islam in the years before Soviet occupation. Bayram Balci seeks to analyse how these new Islamic influences have reached local societies and how they have interacted with pre-existing religious belief and practice. Combining exceptional erudition with rare first-hand research, Balci's book provides a sophisticated account of both the internal dynamics and external influences in the evolution of Islam in the region.
Download or read book Everyday Islam written by Sergei P. Poliakov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a rapidly growing population, deteriorating economic and environmental conditions, and an unstable imperial centre, Soviet Central Asia would seem destined to become one of the world's trouble spots. Why then the apparent political quiet? This book argues that this perception is, in itself, a reflection of our ignorance of the region. Instead, argues the author, Islamic traditionalism has not only survived but has flourished and is resurgent in Central Asia. This book includes chapters on marital customs, the care of children, communal decision making, social prestige and values, and the "second" economy in Central Asia. Poliakov demonstrates the resilience of an "un-Soviet" way of life which is supported by underground institutions, fostered by "unofficial" clergy, and protected by the infiltration and subordination of government and party organs.
Download or read book Encountering Buddhism and Islam in Premodern Central and South Asia written by Blain Auer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a variety of historians, epigraphists, philologists, art historians and archaeologists to address the understanding of the encounter between Buddhist and Muslim communities in South and Central Asia during the medieval period. The articles collected here provoke a fresh look at the relevant sources. The main areas touched by this new research can be divided into five broad categories: deconstructing scholarship on Buddhist/Muslim interactions, cultural and religious exchanges, perceptions of the other, transmission of knowledge, and trade and economics. The subjects covered are wide ranging and demonstrate the vast challenges involved in dealing with historical, social, cultural and economic frameworks that span Central and South Asia of the premodern world. We hope that the results show promise for future research produced on Buddhist and Muslim encounters. The intended audience is specialists in Asian Studies, Buddhist Studies and Islamic Studies.
Download or read book L Islam en Asie centrale written by Catherine Poujol and published by Ellipses Marketing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Du VIIIe au XVIIIe siècle, l'islam met plus de mille ans pour s'installer en Asie centrale et y modeler de nombreux aspects de son visage actuel. Du XIXe au XXe siècle la culture russe et l'idéologie soviétiques tentent d'affaiblir cet islam sans parvenir à le dissoudre. Aujourd'hui, les partisans de l'action politique en son nom renforcent leurs réseaux par-delà les frontières en Afghanistan, au Pakistan, en Iran, en Chine, en Russie, en Turquie, etc. Quelle est cette nouvelle donne en Asie centrale, et dans ses " dépendances géographiques ", où l'islam est redevenu maître du jeu ? Quels sont les nouveaux acteurs de ce processus de " mondialisation islamique " qui rompt avec le cloisonnement soviétique ? Quel est le " New deal " des Américains pour la région après cette " nouvelle guerre " déclenchée en septembre 2001 ? Cette Mise au point s'appuie sur l'expérience exceptionnelle de Catherine Poujol qui pratique cette région depuis vingt ans. Elle explique ici l'évolution de ce cœur d'Eurasie, depuis la disparition de l'URSS et dans la reconfiguration insécuritaire qui se profile...
Download or read book Islam in Politics in Russia and Central Asia written by Stephane A. Dudolgnon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2001. This volume contains the proceedings of the international colloquium held by the IAS Project in October 1999. These papers deal with the modem and contemporary history of Central Eurasia, for a comprehensive reflection on various phenomena that led to a political valuation of Islam under non-Muslim domination, whether Russian or Chinese, since the beginning of the 18th century. A comparative approach to the current situations in the Russian Federation and the newly independent states of Central Asia has allowed us to study the various modes of the political instrumentalization of Islam, by both political power and opposition, in such various areas as the Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan and the Volga-Urals region of Russia.
Download or read book Being Muslim in Central Asia written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the changing place of Islam in contemporary Central Asia, understanding religion as a “societal shaper” – a roadmap for navigating quickly evolving social and cultural values. Islam can take on multiple colors and identities, from a purely transcendental faith in God to a cauldron of ideological ferment for political ideology, via diverse culture-, community-, and history-based phenomena. The volumes discusses what it means to be a Muslim in today’s Central Asia by looking at both historical and sociological features, investigates the relationship between Islam, politics and the state, the changing role of Islam in terms of societal values, and the issue of female attire as a public debate. Contributors include: Aurélie Biard, Tim Epkenhans, Nurgul Esenamanova, Azamat Junisbai, Barbara Junisbai, Marlene Laruelle, Marintha Miles, Emil Nasritdinov, Shahnoza Nozimova, Yaacov Ro'i, Wendell Schwab, Manja Stephan-Emmrich, Rano Turaeva, Alon Wainer, Alexander Wolters, Galina M.

Download or read book Muslims in Central Asia written by Jo-Ann Gross and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central Asia is distinctive in its role as a frontier region in which a unique diversity of cultural, religious, and political traditions exist. This collection of essays by expert scholars in a range of disciplines focuses on the formation of ethnic, religious, and national identities in Muslim societies of Central Asia, thus furthering our general understanding of the history and culture of this significant region. This study includes several geopolitical regions--Chinese Central Asia, Soviet Central Asia, Afghanistan, Transoxiana and Khurasan--and covers historical periods from the fifteenth century to the present. Drawing on scholarship in anthropology, religion, history, literature, and language studies, Muslims in Central Asia argues for an interdisciplinary, inter-regional dialog in the development of new approaches to understanding the Muslim societies in Central Asia. The authors creatively examine the social construction of identities as expressed through literature, Islamic discourse, historical texts, ethnic labels, and genealogies, and explore how such identities are formed, changed, and adopted through time.

Download or read book Securitization of Islam A Vicious Circle written by Kathrin Lenz-Raymann and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diverse Islamic groups have triggered a »revival of Islam« in Central Asia in the last decades. As a result, there has been a general securitization of Islam by the governments: not only do they combat the terrorist Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan but also outlaw popular groups such as the Gülen movement. However, strong repression of religion might lead to radicalization. Kathrin Lenz-Raymann tests this hypothesis with an agent-based computer simulation and enriches her study with interviews with international experts, leaders of political Islam and representatives of folk Islam. She concludes that ensuring religious rights is essential for national security.

Download or read book Renouveau de l islam en Asie centrale et dans le Caucase written by Bayram Balci and published by CNRS. This book was released on 2017 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4ème de couv. indique : "Soumises à l'oeil de Moscou et au contrôle étroit du fait religieux durant toute la période soviétique, les sociétés centrasiatiques ont longtemps vécu isolées du reste du monde musulman. La fin de l'URSS, en 1991, est venue rompre ce confinement. Elle coïncide avec l'entrée des nouveaux Etats d'Asie centrale et du Caucase dans le phénomène de la mondialisation du religieux. Etudier dans le temps long l'islam centrasiatique et caucasien, ainsi que l'influence de la Turquie, de l'Iran, de l'Inde et de l'Arabie Saoudite sur les phénomènes religieux de cette zone, telle est l'ambition de cette riche étude qui applique la méthode de l'histoire connectée aux enjeux les plus contemporains de notre monde globalisé. Circulation des hommes et des idées, clivage entre sunnites et chiites, héritages croisés de plusieurs empires, moghol, safavide, ottoman et soviétique, poids des confréries soufies, mausolées faisant de certaines villes de grands lieux de sainteté.... Autant de thèmes abordés par Bayram Balci au fil de ce vaste tour d'horizon, qui souligne également l'influence des organisations prosélytes qui se sont répandues dans tout l'espace post-soviétique. A l'heure où l'islam, plus que jamais divisé, suscite controverses et incompréhensions, Bayram Balci nous invite à reconsidérer l'influence de cette religion en étudiant son développement récent dans les confins d'Asie centrale et du Caucase. Un essai majeur à la croisée de l'histoire, de l'anthropologie et de la science politique."
Download or read book L islam de Chine written by Elisabeth Alles and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2012-12-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans L’islam de Chine, Élisabeth Allès met en lumière l’extrême diversité des « situations minoritaires » dans lesquelles se trouvent placés les musulmans de Chine : Hui de la plaine centrale, vivant paisiblement leur religion au sein d’un environnement massivement han ; Hui du Zhejiang à la recherche de leurs racines ; musulmans de Canton et de Hong Kong, aussi bien Hui que migrants ouighours ou indo-pakistanais ; Ouighours turcophones du Xinjiang confrontés à la colonisation han. Quand les Dounganes et les Ouighours traversent les frontières vers les trois nouvelles républiques de l’ancienne URSS, où sont leurs familles, que ce soit pour y résider, pour y faire des affaires ou pour passer de l’une à l’autre de ces républiques, nous les suivons louvoyant au milieu des contraintes politiques, du nationalisme, de la méfiance envers leur imposant voisin chinois, de la défiance de ces pays les uns envers les autres. Dans chaque cas, les communautés concernées inventent des stratégies de survie qui se transforment selon les circonstances et qui vont de la résistance ou de la fuite à l’adaptation et à la coexistence pacifique. Elles sont donc, non pas objets passifs, mais acteurs de leur propre destin.
