The latter is considered in more detail since it is often not included in comparative studies on the monotheistic religions. An excursus into the farer East composes the contribution on Mahatma Gandhi. The volume considers central sociological, philosophical and theological problems which lie at the heart of the phenomenon of martyrdom, the significance of martyrdom in different conflicts, the competing martyr figures which develop in the course of these conflicts as well as the accompanying representations in art and ritual. Special attention is directed to the transitions of traditional forms of martyr representation and the emergence of a global discourse on martyrdom, which can be noticed both in the dissemination of martyr practices as in the reactions to certain martyr events on a global scale. 606 $aReligion 606 $aMartyrs 606 $aMartyrdom 607 $aMiddle East 615 0$aReligion. 615 0$aMartyrs. 615 0$aMartyrdom. 676 $a204.40956 700 $aHorsch$b Silvia$01318749 702 $aDehghani$b Sasha 702 $aHorsch-Al Saad$b Silvia 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346833903321 996 $aMartyrdom in the Modern Middle East$93033515 997 $aUNINA
