Religion, Media, and Marginality in Modern Africa
In recent years, anthropologists, historians, and others have been drawn to study the profuse and creative usages of digital media by religious movements. At the same time, scholars of Christian Africa have long been concerned with the history of textual culture, the politics of Bible translation, and the status of the vernacular in Christianity. Students of Islam in Africa have similarly examined politics of knowledge, the transmission of learning in written form, and the influence of new media. Until now, however, these arenas—Christianity and Islam, digital media and “old” media—have been studied separately. Religion, Media, and Marginality in Modern Africa is one of the first volumes to put new media and old media into significant conversation with one another, and also offers a rare comparison between Christianity and Islam in Africa. The contributors find many previously unacknowledged correspondences among different media and between the two faiths. In the process they challenge the technological determinism—the notion that certain types of media generate particular forms of religious expression—that haunts many studies. In evaluating how media usage and religious commitment intersect in the social, cultural, and political landscapes of modern Africa, this collection will contribute to the development of new paradigms for media and religious studies. Contributors: Heike Behrend, Andre Chappatte, Maria Frahm-Arp, David Gordon, Liz Gunner, Bruce S. Hall, Sean Hanretta, Jorg Haustein, Katrien Pype, and Asonzeh Ukah.
Dedan Kimathi on Trial
Perhaps no figure embodied the ambiguities, colonial fears, and collective imaginations of Kenya’s decolonization era more than Dedan Kimathi, the self-proclaimed field marshal of the rebel forces that took to the forests to fight colonial rule in the 1950s. Kimathi personified many of the contradictions that the Mau Mau rebellion represented: rebel statesman, literate peasant, modern traditionalist. His capture and trial in 1956, and subsequent execution, for many marked the end of the rebellion and turned Kimathi into a patriotic martyr. Dedan Kimathi on Trial unearths a piece of the colonial archive long thought lost, hidden, or destroyed. Its discovery and landmark publication unsettles an already contentious history and prompts fresh examinations of its reverberations in the present. Here, the entire trial transcript is available for the first time. This critical edition also includes provocative contributions from leading Mau Mau scholars reflecting on the meaning of the rich documents offered here and the figure of Kimathi in a much wider field of historical and contemporary concerns. These include the nature of colonial justice; the moral arguments over rebellion, nationalism, and the end of empire; and the complexities of memory and memorialization in contemporary Kenya. Contributors: David Anderson, Simon Gikandi, Nicholas Githuku, Lotte Hughes, and John Lonsdale. Introductory note by Willy Mutunga.
TheoLab
Theologie sucht nach Antworten auf die großen Fragen der Menschheit und der eigenen Lebensgeschichte. TheoLab macht Theologie alltagsrelevant, vermittelt theologische Hintergründe und hilft, sprachfähig zu werden.
Theo: Je drei große Fragen zu den drei Themen Gott, Mensch und Welt werden aus der Sicht des christlichen Glaubens durchdacht. Lab: Statt fertige Antworten zu finden, öffnet sich ein Raum, verschiedene Positionen wahrzunehmen und zu untersuchen.
Kompakt und gut verständlich werden die theologischen Fragen von verschiedenen Standpunkten aus beleuchtet und Hilfen zum Weiterdenken gegeben. Sketchnotes bieten zu jeder Frage eine visuelle Zusammenfassung. Auch Perspektiven für die Jugend- und Gemeindearbeit sind enthalten.
TheoLab ist ein Forschungslabor in Buchform für alle, die leidenschaftliche Glaubens- und Lebensfragen haben, theologische Tiefe gewinnen und diese mit anderen teilen wollen.
Religion and the Social Sciences
More often than not it's a class in the social sciences that challenges the faith of students, not a class in biology. Does critical understanding of our religious traditions, institutions, and convictions undercut them? Or can a modern social scientific approach deepen faith's commitments, making us full participants in today's intellectual culture? In these conversations with eminent sociologists Robert Bellah and Christian Smith, leading scholars probe the religious potential of modern social science–and its theological limits.
Es gibt einen Berg für jedes Alter
Jedem sein eigener Berg: vom Spazieren, Wandern und Bergsteigen
Der Berg ruft – wem er was zuruft, ist jedoch individuell sehr unterschiedlich. Während Extremkletterer Alexander Huber die Grenzerfahrung in der Antarktis sucht, lässt es Bischof Manfred Scheuer mittlerweile lieber etwas ruhiger angehen. Auch die Vorbereitungszeit zum Bergwandern variiert sehr: FAZ-Journalist Andreas Lesti nähert sich seit 15 Jahren dem Matterhorn, Bergsteigerin Marlies Czerny ist mit 21 schnell entschlossen einfach losmarschiert.
Welche Beweggründe und Motivation den Einzelnen auf den Weg bringen, haben die Autoren aus unterschiedlichsten Bereichen und Lebensabschnitten humorvoll zu Papier gebracht:
– Therapeutisches Wandern: hinaus aus dem Alltag, Zu-Sich-Finden durch Entschleunigung – Die eigenen Grenzen ausloten: es muss nicht gleich ein Achttausender sein – Der Berg als Sehnsuchtsort, prägender Lehrer und Spiegel der Seele zugleich – Persönliche Berg-Erlebnisse – ein originelles Geschenk für Wanderer und Alpinisten!
Auf dem Weg zum Gipfel die innere Ruhe finden: Alpinismus in all seinen Facetten
Der Weg ist das Ziel: In einer Zeit, wo alle Gipfel bezwungen und alle Wände durchklettert zu sein scheinen, liegt der Fokus auf der Suche nach der inneren Ruhe unterwegs. Persönlichkeiten wie Barbara Stöckl, Sepp Forcher und Wolfgang Schüssel erzählen von der Reise, die man beim Wandern im Inneren durchläuft. Aus ihren Erzählungen wird deutlich, dass sich die Gründe für den Drang nach oben ändern können – gut also, dass für jedes Alter der richtige Berg zu finden ist!

Modern Sufis and the State
Sufism is typically thought of as the mystical side of Islam. In recent years, it has been held up as a supposedly peaceful alternative to the spread of forms of Islam associated with violence, an embodiment of democratic ideals of tolerance and pluralism. Are Sufis in fact as otherworldy and apolitical as this stereotype suggests? Modern Sufis and the State brings together a range of scholars, including anthropologists, historians, and religious-studies specialists, to challenge common assumptions that are made about Sufism today. Focusing on India and Pakistan within a broader global context, this book provides locally grounded accounts of how Sufis in South Asia have engaged in politics from the colonial period to the present. Contributors foreground the effects and unintended consequences of efforts to link Sufism with the spread of democracy and consider what roles scholars and governments have played in the making of twenty-first-century Sufism. They critique the belief that Salafism and Sufism are antithetical, offering nuanced analyses of the diversity, multivalence, and local embeddedness of Sufi political engagements and self-representations in Pakistan and India. Essays question the portrayal of Sufi shrines as sites of toleration, peace, and harmony, exploring cases of tension and conflict. A wide-ranging interdisciplinary collection, Modern Sufis and the State is a timely call to think critically about the role of public discourse in shaping perceptions of Sufism.
The Diary of 1636
Early in the seventeenth century, Northeast Asian politics hung in a delicate balance among the Chosŏn dynasty in Korea, the Ming in China, and the Manchu. When a Chosŏn faction realigned Korea with the Ming, the Manchu attacked in 1627 and again a decade later, shattering the Chosŏn-Ming alliance and forcing Korea to support the newly founded Qing dynasty.The Korean scholar-official Na Man’gap (1592–1642) recorded the second Manchu invasion in his Diary of 1636 , the only first-person account chronicling the dramatic Korean resistance to the attack. Partly composed as a narrative of quotidian events during the siege of Namhan Mountain Fortress, where Na sought refuge with the king and other officials, the diary recounts Korean opposition to Manchu and Mongol forces and the eventual surrender. Na describes military campaigns along the northern and western regions of the country, the capture of the royal family, and the Manchu treatment of prisoners, offering insights into debates about Confucian loyalty and the conduct of women that took place in the war’s aftermath. His work sheds light on such issues as Confucian statecraft, military decision making, and ethnic interpretations of identity in the seventeenth century. Translated from literary Chinese into English for the first time, the diary illuminates a traumatic moment for early modern Korean politics and society. George Kallander’s critical introduction and extensive annotations place The Diary of 1636 in its historical, political, and military context, highlighting the importance of this text for students and scholars of Chinese and East Asian as well as Korean history.
