Religious Texts in Islam : Authority, Reception and Use
organised by Dr. Asma Hilali and Prof. Dr. Stefan Leder
Location : Orientwissenschaftliches Zentrum
Mühlweg 15
06114 Halle (Saale)
Seminar room 1
Presentation
This approach, inspired by the theoretical framework of pragmatics, is not concerned with the « origin » of the religious text, nor deals with any specific historical period. Instead, our purpose here is to examine the manners and effects of the reception of religious texts and their application to various contexts and practices as these contribute to the construction of authority.
