Au printemps 1968, lorsque la France et bon nombre d’endroits dans le monde étaient secoués par des mouvements de protestations sociopolitiques importants, quelques grands savants se réunissaient à la vieille et prestigieuse université de Strasbourg et allaient déclencher un véritable tournant dans les études islamologiques en Occident. En effet, pour la première fois, des chercheurs d’envergure mondiale se rencontraient dans un colloque exclusivement consacré au shi'isme imamite. Les conférences et les discussions aboutirent à la publication d’un excellent recueil d’articles: Le shî'isme imâmite: Colloque de Strasbourg (6-9 mai 1968), Presses Universitaires de France, Paris 1970.Si nous avons souhaité associer le 40e anniversaire de cet événement à l’hommage que nous voulions rendre à Etan Kohlberg, c’est pour souligner le rôle majeur de ce dernier dans l’enrichissement et l’approfondissement des études consacrées au shiisme imamite. En effet, l’ampleur de ses connaissances, la rigueur radicale de son érudition et ses grandes qualités humaines ont été des facteurs décisifs dans la diffusion des études shi'ites et leur transmission à travers la formation de générations entières de chercheurs.Ainsi, ce volume d’hommage se veut un témoignage de l’essor grandissant des études shi'ites imamites et de la dette indéniable de celles-ci aux savants réunis, il y a quarante ans, à Strasbourg, ainsi qu’à l’oeuvre immense d’Etan Kohlberg.

This book explores the evolution of a Shia Ismaili identity and crucial aspects of the historical forces that conditioned the development of the Muslim modern in late colonial South Asia. It traces the legal process that, since the 1860s, recast a Shia Imami identity for the Ismailis, and explicates the public career of Imam Aga Khan III amid heightened religious internationalism since the late-nineteenth century, the age of 'religious internationals'. It sheds light and elaborates on the enduring legacies of questions such as the Aga's understanding of colonial modernity, his ideas of India, restructured modalities of community governance and the evolution of Imamate-sponsored institutions, key strands in scholarship that characterized the development of the Muslim and Shia Ismaili modern, and Muslim universality vis-à-vis denominational particularities that often transcended the remits of the modular nation and state structure.

While most studies of Shi'i Islam have focused upon Iran or the Middle East, South Asia is another global region which is home to a large and influential Shi'i population. This edited volume establishes the importance of the Indian subcontinent, which has been profoundly shaped by Shi'i cultures, regimes and populations throughout its history, for the study of Shi'i Islam in the modern world. The essays within this volume, all written by leading scholars of the field, explore various Shi'i communities (both Isna 'Ashari and Isma'ili) in parts of the subcontinent as diverse as Karachi, Lucknow, Bombay and Hyderabad, as well as South Asian Shi'i diasporas in East Africa. Drawing from a range of disciplinary perspectives including history, religious studies, anthropology and political science, they examine a range of themes relating to Shi'i belief, practice, piety and belonging, as well as relations between Shi'i and non-Shi'i communities.

This volume - grown out of an international conference at Freiburg University in 1999 - deals with various aspects of Shiite Islam since the 18th century. It is divided into two major parts, the first of which is dedicated to traditional institutions of theology and learning and their transformation in modern times. The second part treats internal debates and the activities of Shiite dissidents, showing that Shiism is far from being uniform. Ideological and political developments in the 20th century and especially the Islamic Revolution in Iran have shaped the image of modern Shiism more than any other tendencies and are therefore also discussed in greater detail in Parts three and four. This book reflects the state of the art in this field of Islamic studies, its 21 contributions covering three centuries and a vast geographical range.

In Formation of a Religious Landscape: Shi'i Higher Learning in Safavid Iran, Maryam Moazzen offers the first systematic examination of Shi'i educational institution and practices by exploring the ways in which religious knowledge was produced, authenticated, and transmitted in the second half of Safavid rule (1588-1722). By analyzing the deeds of endowment of the Madrasa-yi Sulṭānī and other mosque-madrasas built by the Safavid elite, this study sheds light on the organizing mechanisms and structures utilized by such educational foundations. Based on the large number of ijazās and other primary sources including waqfiyyas, biographical dictionaries and autobiographies, this study also reconstructs the Safavid madrasas' curriculum and describes the pedagogical methods used to transmit religious knowledge as well as issues that faced Shi'i higher learning in early modern times.
