31	A translation of Shaykh Muhammad Alghazālī’s study on bid’ah (heretical innovation) with an introduction on the author and his thought Farouk-Alli, Aslam 06 1900 (has links) The boundaries of normative Islam are critically explored in this thesis, which presents a translation of the most important aspects of a modern study on bid‘ah (heretical innovation), by the late Egyptian Reformist Scholar, Shaykh Muhammad al-Ghazālī (1917 – 1996). The translator’s introduction contextualizes the life and work of the author and also briefly locates this particular study within the broader framework of classical and contemporary writings on the subject of bid‘ah. Only the book’s introduction, first three chapters (constituting the theoretical spine of the original work), and conclusion are translated. The first chapter is an introductory excursus into Islamic law, necessary to enable the reader to grasp the legal debate on bid‘ah. The second chapter casts a wider net, examining the influence of foreign elements upon Islamic thought, while the third chapter deals specifically with the topic of bid‘ah. The short conclusion reaffirms the importance of normative Islamic practice. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Arabic) Bid‘ah (Heretical Innovation) Sunnah (Prophetic Pratice) Qur’an Hadīth (Prophetic Tradition) ‘Ibādāt (Acts of Worship) Mu‘āmalāt (Conduct) al-Maslahah al-Mursalah (Public Welfare) Sharī‘ah (Sacred Law) Fiqh (Jurisprudence) Authentic Islamic Thought 297.5 Islam -- Customs and practices Muslim Heretics Islam -- Relations Islam -- Customs and practices Muslim Heretics Islam -- Relations
32	La fabrication plurielle de centralités dans la périphérie de Constantine : le cas de la ville nouvelle Ali Mendjeli / The plural fabrication of centralities in the periphery of Constantine : the case of the new town Ali Mendjeli Lakehal, Ahcène 23 May 2013 (has links) La ville de Constantine (Algérie) a connu depuis quelques décennies un étalement urbain considérable de ses périphéries urbanisées. Cet étalement a donné naissance à la Ville Nouvelle Ail Mendjeli qui constitue aujourd’hui, sans nul doute, l’un des principaux théâtres des dynamiques territoriales de la périphérie constantinoise. Créée ex nihilo, sa mise en place par les seules autorités locales a été difficile et il lui a fallu presque dix ans pour que son développement atteigne son rythme de croisière. Cette thèse analyse la fabrique de la Ville Nouvelle, puis les rôles respectifs des acteurs publics et privés dans l’évolution de sa centralité. Si l’impulsion de départ était bien le fait des responsables politiques, le système d’acteurs s’est rapidement complexifié, du fait des stratégies des commerçants et des pratiques des résidents, “citadins ordinaires”. Aujourd’hui, l’action combinée de tous ces acteurs fait que s’inventent à Ail Mendjeli de nouvelles formes d’urbanité. / The city of Constantine (Algeria) has been known for several decades a considerable urban sprawl of its urban peripheries. This urban sprawl has given birth to the New Town ALi Mendjeli. This is one of the man theaters of territorial dynamics of the periphery of Constantine. Creating its establishment only by the local authorities was difficults and it took nearly ten years to make its development reaches its cruising speed. This thesis analyzes the fabric of New Town, and the respective roles of public and private actors in the development of its centrality. If the impulse departure was indeed the work of the political responsables, relayed by urbain planners to their services, the actors’ system was rapidly complexified due to the tradors strategies and pratices of residents (ordinary city, today, the combined action of all these actors, have invented to “Ali Mendjeli” new froms of urbanity.

33	Ring Out Your Dead : Distribution, form, and function of iron amulets in the late Iron Age grave fields of Lovö Mattsson McGinnis, Meghan January 2016 (has links) The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution, forms, and function(s) of iron amulets deposited in the late Iron Age gravefields of Lovö, with the goal of ascertaining how (and so far as possible why) these objects were utilized in rituals carried out during and after burials. Particular emphasis is given to re-interpreting the largest group of iron amulets, the iron amulet rings, in a more relational and practice-focused way than has heretofore been attempted. By framing burial analyses, questions of typology, and evidence of ritualized actions in comparison with what is known of other cult sites in Mälardalen specifically– and theorized about the cognitive landscape(s) of late Iron Age Scandinavia generally– a picture of iron amulets as inscribed objects made to act as catalytic, protective, and mediating agents is brought to light. archaeology Iron Age Late Iron Age Viking Age Viking Studies Vendel period practice theory cognitive archaeology grave goods New Materialism neo-materialism Thor's hammer rings burial analysis post-structuralism Early Medieval medieval studies Scandinavian archaeology Scandinavia Sweden Swedish archaeology Mälardalen cultural history ritual theory ritual rituals studies burial rituals ritualization deviant burial history of religions Old Norse religion Viking Age religion cult places material culture rites of passage amulets magic ancient magic medieval magic pratice praxis
