This thesis highlights the ways in which the Muslim brotherhood politicizes Islam, depicted in the group’s official documents. The study theorizes a social-constructivist approach to politicized religion and argues the concept as an effort to manipulate an understanding of religion with political intentions. Through a descriptive content analysis, this thesis analyzes three official political documents from the Muslim brotherhood’s English website, ‘Ikhwanweb’. The analysis identifies the religious ideology of the group as all-encompassing Islamic, as well as concludes the Muslim brotherhood as utilizing politicized religion extensively in the chosen material.

This thesis offers an interpretation of the Qatar-based Egyptian Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi's contribution to "tajdid al-fiqh," the "renewal" of the Islamic fiqh tradition. In the wake of the transformations wrought on the fiqh tradition during the colonial period, it is the "modern project" (to borrow Talal Asad's term) for tajdid al-fiqh instigated by Muhammad 'Abduh and Rashid Rida that this thesis uses to enter the discussion. Al-Qaradawi lays claim to their legacy, and this thesis is particularly concerned with the engagement between himself and his interlocutors in the unusual context of Qatar. These "translocal" networks facilitate al-Qaradawi's involvement in debates in other contexts in the region, particularly in Egypt and the wider Arabian Peninsula. Each of this thesis's thematic chapters will make a different case for understanding al-Qaradawi's borrowing, reconstructing, reviving or transforming certain concepts and ideas. In so doing it will show that al-Qaradawi, as representative of the contemporary ʿulamaʾ as a whole, is not part of a scholar-class that have been either marginalized or entirely co-optated by the state. Instead, they are a group of scholars that have utilized new media technologies and other supportive networks to continually promote themselves in the Arab public sphere, as they sought to adapt their tradition to the Middle East region's new context, debates and conditions.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Mariana Rocha Santos Costa.pdf: 682333 bytes, checksum: 376b940d62e35ad0fe0a259f571e47ae (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a discussão da representação literária do pacto fraterno e a forma como este se configura enquanto simbologia da aliança nacional. Tomando como ponto de partida o enredo bíblico de Esaú e Jacó, irmãos gêmeos que se digladiam no contexto familiar, pretende-se analisar de que forma os romances Esaú e Jacó, de Machado de Assis e Dois Irmãos, escrito por Milton Hatoum se apropriam desse motivo para comentar os conflitos nacionais, em épocas distintas da história do Brasil. Reflexões acerca da discórdia familiar, da figura do duplo enquanto inimigo primevo, das diversas acepções que o termo ‘nação’ abarca, bem como do papel que cada um dos personagens gêmeos desempenha no decorrer das tramas, são conduzidas pelo intuito de iluminar as relações possíveis entre os textos literários e a história. Este estudo focaliza a premissa de que uma sociedade apenas se estabelece através de pactos. Os romances ora analisados também ilustram a forma como os acontecimentos domésticos entram em conexão com o meio social. / Salvador
