Islam is often seen as a religious tradition in which hell does not play a particularly prominent role. This volume challenges this hackneyed view. Locating Hell in Islamic Traditions is the first book-length analytic study of the Muslim hell. It maps out a broad spectrum of Islamic attitudes toward hell, from the Quranic vision(s) of hell to the pious cultivation of the fear of the afterlife, theological speculations, metaphorical and psychological understandings, and the modern transformations of hell. Contributors: Frederick Colby, Daniel de Smet, Christiane Gruber, Jon Hoover, Mohammad Hassan Khalil, Christian Lange, Christopher Melchert, Simon O’Meara, Samuela Pagani, Tommaso Tesei, Roberto Tottoli, Wim Raven, and Richard van Leeuwen.

How was the use of violence against Muslims explained and justified in medieval Islam? What role did state punishment play in delineating the private from the public sphere? What strategies were deployed to cope with the suffering caused by punishment? These questions are explored in Christian Lange's in-depth study of the phenomenon of punishment, both divine and human, in eleventh-to-thirteenth-century Islamic society. The book examines the relationship between state and society in meting out justice, Muslim attitudes to hell and the punishments that were in store in the afterlife, and the legal dimensions of punishment. The cross-disciplinary approach embraced in this study, which is based on a wide variety of Persian and Arabic sources, sheds light on the interplay between theory and practice in Islamic criminal law, and between executive power and the religious imagination of medieval Muslim society at large.

This volume explores the use of violence in the construction of Islamic public and private spheres. It contributes to the growing interest in the vital question of Muslim attitudes towards violence. Editors blurb: This volume offers the first hitherto available overview of the role of public violence in the history of Muslim societies. Islam is often perceived as a civilization breeding violence toward the outside. To counter such negative stereotypes, the approach of this volume is to stress the nature of violence as a means of political dominion. The volume demonstrates the diversity of attitudes toward violence within Muslim societies and thus helps to overcome essentialist assumptions about Islamic violence.

Bildung kann soziale Spaltungen vertiefen, sie kann aber auch ein Ort für Begegnung, kritische Auseinandersetzung und demokratisches Lernen sein. Paulo Freire stellte in seiner Pädagogik die Erfahrungen und das Wissen der Lernenden in den Mittelpunkt. Er verknüpfte Lernprozesse mit der Analyse und Reflexion herrschender Macht- und Gewaltverhältnisse und hinterfragte den westlich-europäischen Bildungsbegriff grundlegend. Heute bietet uns sein Denken wichtige Anknüpfungspunkte, um Bildung auf der Grundlage von Respekt und einem gleichberechtigten Miteinander neu zu gestalten. Dieser Sammelband, der aus einem langjährigen Austausch zwischen Lateinamerika und Deutschland entstanden ist, trägt Ansätze und Erfahrungen einer von Freire inspirierten Bildungspraxis zusammen. Die Beitragenden sind Lehrer*innen, Hochschuldozent*innen oder Bildungsforscher*innen, Psycholog*innen, Menschenrechts- und Community-Aktivist*innen. Sie arbeiten in Schulen und Universitäten, in Stadtteilprojekten, in einem Frauengefängnis, in Kooperativen, Gesundheitszentren und Gedenkstätten. Sie sind in kleinbäuerlichen, indigenen und Afro-Organisationen aktiv, engagieren sich in der queer-feministischen Bewegung, in Räumen migrantischer Selbstorganisation, in der psychosozialen Begleitung, der Antidiskriminierungsarbeit und in Empowerment-Prozessen verschiedener Art. In ihren Beiträgen erzählen sie davon, wie die Beschäftigung mit Paulo Freire ihre Arbeit prägt und ihren Blick auf die Gesellschaft und das eigene Leben verändert hat. Das Buch zeigt lebendige, sich verändernde Prozesse. Es erforscht das emanzipatorische Potenzial einer Freire-inspirierten Bildung, zeigt deren kreative Anwendung und Weiterentwicklung und wirft neue Fragen auf. Es zeichnet persönliche Lern- und Lebenswege nach und berichtet von Hoffnungen und Visionen, die aus der gelebten Praxis entstehen. Nicht zuletzt erzählt es von Vertrauen und Solidarität als Grundlage für gleichberechtigtes Lernen. Vom Mut, eigene Ängste zu überwinden und bestehende Strukturen - in uns selbst und um uns herum - zu hinterfragen. Und von der Kraft, die entsteht, wenn wir gemeinsam mit anderen auf Veränderungen hinwirken.
