Abstract

China and Islam examines the intersection of two critical issues of the contemporary world: Islamic revival and an assertive China, questioning the assumption that Islamic law is incompatible with state law. It finds that both Hui and the Party-State invoke, interpret, and make arguments based on Islamic law, a minjian (unofficial) law in China, to pursue their respective visions of 'the good'. Based on fieldwork in Linxia, 'China's Little Mecca', this study follows Hui clerics, youthful translators on the 'New Silk Road', female educators who reform traditional madrasas, and Party cadres as they reconcile Islamic and socialist laws in the course of the everyday. The first study of Islamic law in China and one of the first ethnographic accounts of law in postsocialist China, China and Islam unsettles unidimensional perceptions of extremist Islam and authoritarian China through Hui minjian practices of law.

Abstract

"Je ne défendrai pas une identité culturelle française, impossible à identifier, mais des ressources culturelles françaises (européennes) - "défendre" signifiant alors non pas tant les protéger que les exploiter. Car, s'il est entendu que de telles ressources naissent dans une langue comme au sein d'une tradition, en un certain milieu et dans un paysage, elles sont aussi disponibles à tous et n'appartiennent pas. Elles ne sont pas exclusives, comme le sont des "valeurs" ; elles ne se prônent pas. Mais on les déploie ou l'on ne les déploie pas, et de cela chacun est responsable."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Reuß-Markus Krauße entflechtet den Wandel der chinesischen Gesellschaft, indem er Modernisierung, Globalisierung und soziostrukturelle Hintergründe aufeinander abstimmt. Damit liefert er einen neuen universalen Ansatz zur Untersuchung von Modernisierung dieser und auch anderer Gesellschaften. Indem er die Verbindung zwischen gesellschaftlichem Wandel, den Funktionsbereichen – Politik, Wirtschaft, Recht, Wissenschaft – und dem Kommunikationssystem darstellt, überwindet er die Erklärungsdefizite bisheriger Darstellungen, die kulturalistische oder normative Gründe für den chinesischen Wandel nennen. So stellt sein Buch heraus, dass vielseitige Zugänge notwendig sind, um die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen in China zu verstehen.  Der Inhalt Modernisierungstheorie unter Voraussetzung von Globalisierung und Hybridisierung Chinesische Sozialkonstruktion und Sozialordnung Nationale kollektive Identität, Ethnien und Guanxi-Netzwerke Folgen dieser Modernisierung und Herausforderungen für die chinesische Gesellschaft  Die Zielgruppen SoziologInnen, PolitologInnen, SinologInnen sowie KulturwissenschaftlerInnen China-Interessierte  Der Autor Dr. phil. Reuß-Markus Krauße ist Mitarbeiter am Projekt ProtoSociology der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.

Abstract

Reshaping the Boundaries: The Christian Intersection of China and the West in the Modern Era brings new material and new insights to deepen our understanding of the multilayered, two-way flow of words, beliefs, and experiences between the West and China from 1600 to 1900. The seven essays taken together illustrate the complex reality of boundary-crossing interactions between these cultures and document how hybrid ideas, images, and identities emerged in both China and the West. By focusing on "in-betweenness," these essays challenge the existing Eurocentric assumption of a simple one-way cultural flow, with Western missionaries transmitting and the Chinese receiving. Led by Song Gang, the contributors to this volume cover many specific aspects of this cultural encounter that have received little or no scholarly attention: official decrees, memoirs, personal correspondences, news, rumors, musical instruments, and miracle stories. Grounded in multiple intellectual disciplines, including religious studies, history, arts, music, and Sinology, Reshaping the Boundaries explores how each of the major Christian traditions--Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox--bridged the West and the East in unique ways.

Abstract

"Tells the stories of Chinese Muslims trying to create coherent lives at the intersection of two potentially conflicting cultures. How can people belong simultaneously to two cultures, originating in two different places and expressed in two different languages, without alienating themselves from either? Muslims have lived in the Chinese culture area for 1400 years, and the intellectuals among them have long wrestled with this problem. Unlike Persian, Turkish, Urdu, or Malay, the Chinese language never adopted vocabulary from Arabic to enable a precise understanding of Islam's religious and philosophical foundations. Islam thus had to be translated into Chinese, which lacks words and arguments to justify monotheism, exclusivity, and other features of this Middle Eastern religion. Even in the 21st century, Muslims who are culturally Chinese must still justify their devotion to a single God, avoidance of pork, and their communities' distinctiveness, among other things, to sceptical non-Muslim neighbours and an increasingly intrusive state"--
