Reforming Islam, Resisting Empires: Ibadis in Colonial North Africa
Partendo dal caso degli ibaditi, minoranza religiosa dell’Algeria, il workshop analizza le trasformazioni della vita religiosa e sociale, gli scambi intellettuali all’interno del mondo musulmano e i processi di riforma attraverso cui gli ulama hanno articolato il proprio percorso di resistenza religiosa, politica e sociale in risposta alla dominazione coloniale francese.
Il workshop si articola in quattro incontri seminariali di tre ore ciascuno, con lettura e commento di testi in arabo e/o in traduzione (per i non arabisti).
Incontri:
• 27 aprile: Islamic Knowledge in the Age of Steam and Print in North Africa.
• 4 maggio: The Ibadi Tradition in Colonial Algeria: Reform, Networks, and Intellectual Exchange
• 15 maggio: Women, Knowledge and Colonialism in Algeria
• 18 maggio: A Colonial Orientalism? The University of Algiers and Its Networks in the Light of a French Scholar’s Private Archives
Focusing on the Ibadi community, a religious minority in Algeria, the workshop examines transformations in religious and social life, intellectual exchanges within the Muslim world, and reform processes through which ulama articulated paths of religious, political, and social resistance against French colonial domination.
The workshop consists of four three-hour seminar sessions, featuring the reading and discussion of texts in Arabic and/or translation (open to non-Arabic speakers). Sessions:
• April 27: Islamic Knowledge in the Age of Steam and Print in North Africa.
