Sacred locality has thus become a paradigm for the relationship between the human and the transcendent, a model for urban planning, regional networks, imaginary spaces, and spiritual hierarchies alike. This importance of saintly places has, however, become increasingly complicated and troubled by reformist currents within Islam, on the one hand, and the emergence of modern archeology and anthropology, on the other. While they have often tended to posit ›the local‹ in opposition to ›the universal‹, in this volume islamologists, anthropologists, and sociologists offer new ways of thinking about the local, the place, and the conceptual landscapes and spaces of saints. In this, its eighth volume, the Yearbook for the Sociology of Islam looks at different sites and regions around the Muslim world (notably Burkina Faso, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Southeast Asia) not as ›localized‹ versions of a universal Islam, but as constitutive of one particular outlook of the universalizing order of a world religion.Globaler Lokaler Islam Muslim saintsModern IslamIslamic ShrinesEgyptEthiopiaSouth-East AsiaBurkina FasoIslamSpaceIslamic StudiesSociology of ReligionReligious StudiesSociologyMuslim saints.297MC 9100rvkStauth Georgedt861015Stauth GeorgSchielke Joska SamuliMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910372792103321Dimensions of locality3587751UNINA
