Subject: Re: foucault and islam
Mark and Jasper
As far as I understand Said's work does not treat Islam as such. He =
uses Foucault's work (in fact I should say certain aspects of Foucault's =
archealogical method) to analyse how in West perceptions about Orient =
and Islam evolved (particulary during the colinal period). Strictly =
speaking Said's work falls under the Postcolonial studies and has almost =
nothing to do with Islam.=20
I think Bryan S. Turner's (1994) Orientalism, postmodernism and =
globalism London Routledge is more fruitful although he does not treat =
Foucault at length. He also develops a critique of Said's book on =
Orientalism. You might also find his biblography useful.
Another well known book on Islam and Postmodernism is that of Akbar S =
Ahmed (1992) Postmodern and Islam London Routledge, although as far as =
I can remeber he does not treat Foucault at all. Any way Ahmed's book is =
not a serious study at all although it has been popular in many circles.
Another book which comes to mind is Gellner's 1992 Postmodernism =
Reason and Religon London Routledge. Gellner has few references to =
Foucault and he also says something about Iranian revolution but not =
necessarily from the Foucauldian perspective.
I have recently submitted a paper (Islamic Studies International =
Islamci University Islamabad) called, "From the 'death of God' to the =
'death of man": Towards a new genealogy of Western Civilisation. It is =
based on an interpretation of certain themes in The Order of Things and =
relates them to the work of Kant and Nietzsche. I also try to develope =
an initial Islamic critique of Foucault (as I understand him) but this =
is still a very general outline.
I am currently preparing to embark on a paper lenght study =
provisionally entitled as An Islamic Critique of Foucault. But that will =
take some time before it is completed.
