Sommario/riassunto

"This book provides insight into unconventional programs that employ dance to inspire a different way of thinking and intervening. A newly emerging pluralistic view of the modes of intervention is challenging the limits of classical thinking. This work is therefore intended for stakeholders in various fields of intervention and research, education, and training, as well as for dancers, dance therapists, and art therapists who deal with issues of resilience and social justice in their practice. Dance offers a space-time that enables us to look at, study, and



understand humanity. It exposes bodies, their wounds as well as their strengths; dance is a means to reflect recover differently; thus, it opens a window onto new perspectives."--

Sommario/riassunto

Among traditionally educated scholars in the Islamic world there is much disagreement on the crises that afflict modern Muslim societies



and how best to deal with them, and the debates have grown more urgent since 9/11. Through an analysis of the work of Muhammad Rashid Rida and Yusuf al-Qaradawi in the Arab Middle East and a number of scholars belonging to the Deobandi orientation in colonial and contemporary South Asia, this book examines some of the most important issues facing the Muslim world since the late nineteenth century. These include the challenges to the binding claims of a long-established scholarly consensus, evolving conceptions of the common good, and discourses on religious education, the legal rights of women, social and economic justice and violence and terrorism. This wide-ranging study by a leading scholar provides the depth and the comparative perspective necessary for an understanding of the ferment that characterizes contemporary Islam.
