Islam in der Moderne, Moderne im Islam: Eine Festschrift für Reinhard Schulze zum 65. Geburtstag. 2018
Abstract
This contribution is an attempt to describe the challenges Islamwissenschaft has to face in a time of increased Islamophobia and (neo)Orientalism, triggered by worldwide Islamist terrorism and large-scale immigration of ʻOriental’ refugees; and to fathom the possibilities the discipline has to react to these challenges in a setting characterised by corporatised academia, media-dominated public discourse, the fragmentation of Western societies, and the constraints of a hegemonic neoliberal market ideology.
