Historicity & Islamicity: Perceptions of Early Islamic History in Contemporary Muslim Thought
The conference attempts to shed light on the
contemporary Muslim perceptions and perspectives
on the early history of Islam. It will address the
mechanisms of construction of ‘early Islamic
history’ and its use in the processes of identity
building among Muslims as well as the critical
and revisionist approaches to history developed
by Muslims scholars. Special attention will be given
to the current interactions and interdisciplinary
exchange between Islamic theological approaches
and modern historical scholarship and on the
consequences of these involvements for both
the Muslim reimagination of Islamic history and
for religious interpretations.
