This course introduces students to Islam in its basic themes and texts and its historical relation to the West. We will begin the course by investigating the core of Islam in its beliefs, values, traditions, institutions, and historical development. In particular, our study will focus on Muhammad, the Qur’an, Arabic language and civilization in historical context, and the formation of Islam in its early phases. After examining selections from the Qur’an and the Hadith in the first weeks of the semester, we will move on to historical and cultural relations between Islam and the West and examine the way art and literature deal with Islam as a global, multicultural, and multilingual phenomenon today. Readings from Edward Said’s Orientalism and responses to it will inform our discussion of the politics of Islam for the West as well as Muslim perspectives themselves on Islam and the West.
