Invitation for Panel Papers

 

Dear all,

 

Today, Islam is a belief system that represents one-fifth of the World_s
population located from Morocco to Indonesia, and one of the world_s fastest
growing religions. The contribution of Islam to world civilization is
undeniable, however in the last one hundreds years, Muslims have been faced
with economic underdevelopment, dictatorship and antidemocratic regimes, and
most importantly, modernity. What does modernity mean for Muslims? Will
there be an Islamic renaissance? How about an Islamic reformation?

 

On the other hand, Islam is not just a religion, it is also likely to
manifest itself as a social, economic and political structure; therefore,
one must understand the socio-historical background and origin of the
Islamic belief system, as well as its underpinning theoretical thinkers and
Islamist Social Movements.

 

We would like to organize a panel entitled, "Islam, the Sociology of Islam,
and Islamist Movements" and we welcome submissions related to the subject,
but not limited to the following:

 

Islam and Modernity,

De-secularization Process in the Muslim Populated Countries, 

Islamist Movements and Collective identity, 

Islam/Alternative Globalization versus Western Based Weberian Capitalist
Globalization 

Islam and Imperialism/Colonialism/Orientalism

 

 

Deadline: DECEMBER 12, 2006
