CfP: "Contemporary Islamic Movements: Ideology, Aesthetics, Politics", =
February 16-17, 2006
The University of Texas at Austin


The conference "Contemporary Islamic Movements: Ideology, Aesthetics, =
Politics" seeks to explore Islamic thought, politics and social life =
through an interdisciplinary approach.* The representation of Muslim =
life and Islam in public and private forums leaves much to be desired in =
terms of its depiction of the complexity of Muslim experiences and =
practices across the globe. By assembling scholars who have first hand =
knowledge of Muslim societies and of Islam, the conference will address =
and engage with these representational themes. The presenters have =
conducted scholarly investigations in the Middle East, South Asia, =
Central Asia, Europe and Africa and shall speak on Islamist movements, =
theological debates, Muslim aesthetics, gender categories and politics =
and on Muslims living as demographic minorities, all extremely pertinent =
issues in the contemporary moment. Our endeavor is to bring forward a =
comprehensive and broad understanding of the variety of ways Muslims =
lead and experience social life and practice their religion over a range =
of geographical spaces and political circumstances. Thus challenging the =
monolithic and narrow representation of Muslims and Islam in this =
country and elsewhere.
