In Christian Identity amid Islam in Medieval Spain Charles L. Tieszen explores a small corpus of texts from medieval Spain in an effort to deduce how their authors defined their religious identity in light of Islam, and in turn, how they hoped their readers would distinguish themselves from the Muslims in their midst. It is argued that the use of reflected self-image as a tool for interpreting Christian anti-Muslim polemic allows such texts to be read for the self-image of their authors instead of the image of just those they attacked. As such, polemic becomes a set of borders authors offered to their communities, helping them to successfully navigate inter-religious living.

The articles in this volume build up ethnographic analysis complementary to the historiography of South Asian Islam, which has explored the emergence of reformism in the context of specific political and religious circumstances of nineteenth-century British India. Taking up diverse popular and scholarly debates as well as everyday religious practices, this volume also breaks away from the dominant trend of mainstream ethnographic work, which celebrates Sufi-inspired forms of Islam as tolerant, plural, authentic and so on, pitted against a 'reformist' Islam. Urging a more nuanced examination of all forms of reformism and their reception in practice, the contributions here powerfully demonstrate the historical and geographical specificities of reform projects. In doing so, they challenge prevailing perspectives in which substantially different traditions of reform are lumped together into one reified category (often carelessly shorthanded as 'wah'habism') and branded as extremist - if not altogether demonised as terrorist.

Is the British press prejudiced against Muslims? In what ways can prejudice be explicit or subtle? This book uses a detailed analysis of over 140 million words of newspaper articles on Muslims and Islam, combining corpus linguistics and discourse analysis methods to produce an objective picture of media attitudes. The authors analyse representations around frequently cited topics such as Muslim women who wear the veil and 'hate preachers'. The analysis is self-reflexive and multidisciplinary, incorporating research on journalistic practices, readership patterns and attitude surveys to answer questions which include: what do journalists mean when they use phrases like 'devout Muslim' and how did the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks affect press reporting? This is a stimulating and unique book for those working in fields of discourse analysis and corpus linguistics, while clear explanations of linguistic terminology make it valuable to those in the fields of politics, media studies, journalism and Islamic studies.

"Détenteur de la chaire d'Exégèse coranique, de 1980 à 1994, à la Section des sciences religieuses de l'École pratique des hautes études à la Sorbonne, le Père Guy Monnot a renouvelé cette discipline majeure de l'islamologie classique en la considérant à juste titre comme le centre de gravité de plusieurs autres champs d'investigation scientifique : la pensée théologique, la spiritualité, la littérature, l'hérésiologie ou encore l'histoire comparée des religions. C'est la raison pour laquelle un certain nombre parmi ses amis, collègues, anciens élèves et étudiants se sont réunis ici afin de lui rendre hommage ainsi qu'à son œuvre par des contributions portant sur ses principaux domaines de recherche : étude du Coran et exégèse coranique, relations entre l'islam et les autres religions, Shahrastānī et ismaélisme, religions iraniennes et littératures persane et indo-persane. Les auteurs ont ainsi voulu témoigner leur amitié à l'égard de Guy Monnot ainsi que leur admiration pour la richesse, le rayonnement et la fecondité de son œuvre."--Publisher's website.
